Rattles/Vibration Noises in Dash
MKC Review, Hurst, TX, 11/17/2019
2018 Lincoln MKC Select 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Would love my 2018 MKC Select, if not for the ongoing rattle/vibration noises in the dash, that the service department have been "unable to replicate" after having it serviced at the dealership twice for it. Disappointing to have live with this issue with a brand new, luxury vehicle and its made me lose confidence in the overall quality.
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2018 Lincoln MKC Select SUV
Pros & Cons
- Pro:More standard features than many of its competitors
- Pro:Comfortable and quiet ride on the highway
- Con:Less room in the back seat and cargo area compared to many competitors
- Con:Some common driver safety aids only available on the top trim levels
- Con:Slower-than-average acceleration from either of its available engines
- Con:Some interior materials look cheap considering the price point
Which MKC does Edmunds recommend?
Of all the variations offered, we would recommend the MKC Select. It has an ample amount of technology, comfort, convenience and luxury equipment while keeping the price reasonable. It's also the first trim available with the optional adaptive suspension. Just be aware that if you want advanced driver aids such as adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning, you'll have to spring for the more expensive Reserve or Black Label.

Driving
6.5Equipped with the optional 2.3-liter engine, our MKC Reserve AWD had no trouble zipping around town or keeping up with traffic. Still, for an upgraded engine, the 2.3 doesn't have much sauce at higher speeds. Handling is also subpar, but the compact MKC is a natural fit for urban life.
Comfort
8.0This is the name of the MKC's game. Cushy front seats, an exceptionally plush ride and a generally quiet cabin add up to a satisfyingly comfortable experience. Those front seats are also oddly narrow, though, and sometimes the tires can be noisy over certain surfaces.
Interior
7.0Lincoln went with a vertical stack of buttons for the transmission, which frees up space between the seats. A natural-feeling step-in height eases access for front occupants, but backseat space is tight.
Utility
7.5Decent-size front storage bin ahead of the shifter with security door. Huge front center armrest bin. Door pockets adequately sized. Humble cargo area holds 25.2 cubic feet or 53.1 cubic feet with rear seatbacks folded (no cargo-area levers).
Technology
Technology is one of the MKZ's strong points. The Sync 3 is easy to use and quick to respond. Voice controls are easy to learn, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard. Avoid splurging for the optional 14-speaker stereo, though; it isn't as impressive as we hoped.
