Refreshed Color Palette
The smart and elegant colors of the Lincoln MKC doesn't disappoint but the manufacturers are giving drivers even more options. Fresh out of the factory, the new line already aims to impress with its revised color palette for the outer shell. In addition to the familiar favorites of Ingot Silver Metallic, White Platinum Metallic Tri-Coat, Midnight Sapphire Metallic and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, options like Black Velvet Metallic, Burgundy Velvet Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Luxe Metallic will also be offered. Some versions of the crossover will come in a stylish White Sands/Espresso color.
New Techy Upgrades
The MKC crossover will also get flashy, techy upgrades with the latest version of the model. The most notably tech feature coming is the SYNC 3 driver connectivity system, which allows you hands-free access to your gadgets through voice activation. Make calls, open up apps, and more - all without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road. The MyLincoln Mobile app gives you more remote connectivity.
The new MKC will also get an intelligent all-wheel drive system that features lane-keeping function, continuously controlled damping, active park assist, collision warning and blind spot information.
More Additional Features
An improved Climate Package is set to debut on next year's Lincoln MKC as well. This time it comes with a windshield wiper de-icer for when you feel like driving out into cold and harsh weather conditions. Meanwhile, the new Trailer Tow Package will give the MKC a towing capacity of 3,000 lbs. or 1,360 kg. You can tow ahead with ease, especially with the EcoBoost four-cylinder engines retained from last year's model. The model comes in 2.0 liters with 240 HP and 270 lb-ft of torque, and 2.3 liters with 285 HP and 305 lb-ft of torque.
The 2016 Lincoln MKC is set to launch this year but the date has yet to be finalized. Keep an eye out and stay updated through a premier Lincoln dealer near New Orleans, such as Baldwin Motors.
