Handles Superbly, Quiet, Comfortable
We had a 2016 MKC Select and decided to turn it in, after 3 years, on a 2019 MKC Base. We enjoyed our 2016 and we really loved the new fascia on the 2019. The 2019 handles much better than the 2016 and has an extremely quiet cabin. We love not having a shifter in the console, memory seats and SYNC3. This SUV has a lot of pep with the standard engine and is easy on the mountain roads, where we live. We did not experience any issues with our 2016 over the 36,000 miles we owned it. If you are looking for a solid, compact SUV, they we would recommend the 2019 MKC.

Will never drive another vehicle
I test drove a MKC and loved it, but It was out of my price point... I test drove 20+ other cars and even came one signature away from another car... Nothing compared to the comfort and smooth driving, I ended up not caring about price points and went with what felt right... And I don’t regret a thing!! I absolutely love my MKC!!!

comfort and affordability
I was also considering a Subaru Outback equipped with the same features except for all-wheel drive which is unnecessary in my area Murrells Inlet SC. The ride of Subaru can not compare in comfort, power, or appearance inside or out. However, they do have an outstanding safety rating. Lincoln also offers a pick-up and drop off your vehicle for servicing or give you a loaner of equallivant value. I am 100% happy with my decision.

Smooth and quiet
4 months and 6000 miles so far and still pleased with the 2019 MKC select. Like the button shifter, makes old stick shifters seem awkward. The 2.0 turbo engine is quite peppy and quiet. This car shifts, accelerates and responds much better if you don't stomp hard on the gas - plenty of power. I don't like the Navigation much though, not nearly as useful as the Garmin system in my Jeep. Blind spot and cross-traffic alert feature is great. Rear cargo area a little compact for an SUV, but as much space as any car trunk. It works great for us. Back seat roomy enough, we've had no complaints from passengers.
Great vehicle....after a rocky start
Drove everything in the segment. Was prepared to spend more or less, just wanted a solid vehicle and that describes the 2019 MKC. Very planted and low-drama on the road. Excellent visibility. Small cargo area -- it's workable tho. Extremely quiet, and that leads to my interesting first-encounter-with-Lincoln (and American cars in general!) tale: During test drive, salesman and I both noted a leather defect and a rattle coming from the back interior. made the deal with the understanding both would be addressed. leather got fixed right away. the rattle required two trips to dealer -- on the second one, it took nearly 2 weeks and required help from the Lincoln "concierge" program. kudos to dealership for staying after it and escalating up to the Ford "hotline" for a fix. the noise is gone now, and though it was a hassle, I'm impressed with the way this issue was handled. If Lincoln is going to compete in "luxury" segment it needs to offer service that goes above and beyond and that did happen in this case. Lots of people overlook the MKC, not sure why. it's totally solid, a great vehicle in a very competitive segment.

Great ride
Had a 3 year lease on a 2017 MkC. First SUV we ever had so didn’t want to buy in case we didn’t like it. Vehicle was superb. In 3 years all we did was change the oil. Lease was up so we bought a new 2029 MkC. Prefer the new front end to the split wing grill. Have had it since a June. Well put together, flawless paint. Quiet on the road. It is my wife’s car and she finds it just perfect to put down the rear seats and haul all her garden stuff around. Phenomenal dealership. Oldest Lincoln dealer in the state. Real mom and pop operation. Salesman(son of one of the dealer principals) even came to the house to program the garage door opener. Great vehicle even better dealership.

quiet/smooth/zippy
Great overall luxury crossover for the luxury/price/performance..Looked at Lexus, Mercedes, Acura, Land Rover, Audi and Volvo. 2019 MKC is quiet, comfortable and smooth. Great acceleration for a 2.3T AWD engine compared to many competitors.

Great but not reliable
Purchased the 2019 MKC and loved it until it reached 2,300 miles! When it’s cold it shifts very hard, goes away after it warms up! It is now at the dealership and they are rebuilding the transmission! Very disappointing! 11/2/2018- picked up the MKC with a rebuilt transmission, seems to be shifting ok, hopefully it will last!

My First Lincoln & I Love It!
I buy a new car every 10 years, and have been a previous Acura and Honda owner. I was skeptical about buying American, but really loved the look and feel of the MKC when I test drove it. The deciding factor was the comfort and accessories of the Reserve trim level, plus 48 months at 0% financing. Have had the vehicle for 3 days and love, love, love it! The seats are so comfortable, its like getting a warm hug with each ride. Can't say enough good things!

Top Notch Ride
I've owned one for a year of trouble free and comfortable driving. The interior does NOT look cheap.
2019 MKC The last of its kind.
I already had purchased a 2019 at the start of the model year. I had wanted to replace our 2017 MKC with the new Corsair for 2020. Lincoln has priced the Corsair much higher without any incentives to the buyer. As a result, we decided to purchase another 2019 MKC. Can't go wrong with a car that is fun to drive, quite and has a wonderful ride.

Ride of Lincoln
I had a 2017 Lincoln MKC absolutely loved it comfort, smooth ride and enough power.Unfortunely it was totaled in a accident in which I wasn't seriously injured so that impressed about Lincoln.I just purchased 2019 MKC It's pretty much the same as the 2017.I would have given 5 stars but their is a whining noise when transmission is shifting which I didn't notice until the next day

I'm just over 1000 and a month into my lease. This is a very comfortable vehicle and has lots of get up and go! I have the Select +, but wish I would have gone up another trim level to get the better sound system and a moon roof.

2nd MKC
Wish the pack seat had leg room... I decided I really don’t like driving people around so it works.. I don’t let people back there. Had really no help from Lincoln Help line... hard time getting correct paper work from dealer to license car. Typical of we got you’re money and we really don’t care after that, they would NOT return a phone call. It’s part of the new Lincoln experience. This is my 3rd Lincoln, my 2nd MKC. This will be my last one if things go any farther south.

Great Mid Size SUV
I've only had the car for a week but so far I love it. I downsized from a Ford Explorer XLT and this is definitely more compact but I quickly got used to that. It gives an amazing ride, especially on the highway. It's a classy car, definitely fits the Luxury category. I'm happy so far.

Did not sign up for this.
I bought the MKC 2019. It was never owned by anyone the dealer used as loaner car for when people where getting their car serviced. So it had 20000 miles on it. That should have been a clue to me. After having it and driving it for 6 months I had noticed it want idling like it did when I first bought. So I had it serviced for that problem and regular service. When I got it back still had the problem. Now I have it back in for the idle and transmission problem. Hope they can fix. It is a beautiful car and the seats make you feel like your not in a SUV.

A DIFFERENT ANIMAL
I bought a 2019 Lincoln MKC last August (2021). It took me a while to make friends with it because I've had six Cadillacs and love the sedans, but felt it was time for an SUV, albeit a small one. After all these months, I love the car. It got 36 mpg visiting family in Santa Barbara, which amazed me. I wanted a replacement car with the panoramic sunroof, back-up camera and remote start. I bought it through CARMAX which was an easy transition, and they gave me more money than I thought I'd get for my 2006 Cadillac STS with 142,000 miles. I had that car for eleven years, but the extended crank was never resolved and it was getting worse. Very happy with the Lincoln. I usually have pearl-colored Cadillacs. This one is blue. Very happy with it.
No complaints - quiet ride and nice luxury feel
Love driving this vehicle as it is smooth and quiet. Quite mechanically sound and no issues with anything after 3.5 years. Would highly recommend!

Nice car but....
Make sure you get all the options they claim. I did not. (I was terribly misled by salesman who was fired shortly after) Rain sensing wipers and all wheel drive a must. Adaptable suspension also. Let them throw in 20 inch wheels. May have to go to Black Label to get them. Then it becomes expensive so shop around..

MKC is a great model
Quiet, very comfortable, rides great and 27.1 MPG average on our 2017 MKC lease had us purchasing the 2019 which has the new grill and new rear chrome bar trim. The new Corsair is very nice but getting out of our price range and it lost a little of the styling that the 2019 has by getting more boxy. The quality and reliability is always higher just before a makeover model.

If only....
If only I'd kept my Cadillac. Love Lincolns and have owned several.I didn't care for the old grill on the MKC so I waited until the body styling changed. In the meantime I owned a Cadillac SRX and the MKC wasn't even a close comparison. Ride, luxury features, quietness and comfort left much to be desired on the MKC. It feels like a glorified Ford Escape. I was hoping for so much more.Interior seems average, not at all the feel and features I remembered from our previous Lincolns. Lincoln really needs to step up their game in the small luxury SUV category. Will be trading this MKC in ASAP.

Very comfortable interior, great pick up when accelerating and incredible performance. The only complain is spent too much gas.

Not happy
My truck has been at the dealership twice already in 5 months for the same issue the usb port is going to go on fire. Flashes, gets super hot & smells smoke & burnt. I have 4,000 miles on it & had it in there at 2,000 miles.

More power
Nice ride, very quiet... I also was looking at the Cadillac XT4. But Lincoln had the bigger engine. I went with the 2.3Turbo and AWD.... A little disappointed with the 2.3T. I thought it would have more spunk??? I also test drove a 2020 Corsair 2.0T, which seemed faster than my 2.3??? Otherwise a great car. Other than the engine( maybe will get better after break-in) My only other 2 beefs are ::: THE GAS FILL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE---- REALLY LINCOLN???? You must pull in opposite everybody else except Japanese cars!!!! POSES A PTOBLEM AT CROWDED PUMPS!!! IRRITATING.... Last but not least... (Everybody thinks its great) I MISS A REAL SHIFTER!!! ( reminds me of a 1065 Plymouth Valiant)ALMOST BOUGHT THE XT4 BECAUSE OF THIS, YOUR 2.3T SAVED YOU!!!!! Also below on your model choice.... THERE IS NO 2.3TURBO CHOICE!!!! But in all honesty, GLAD I WENT WITH THE MKC......

Mixed Feelings - Some good Some Not
For some reason Ford/Lincoln has many weird quirts that Asian companies have LONG figured out. For example, there is one button for the roof shade open/close. Another for the sunroof forward/back and yet another for the moonroof/vent only feature. All of these are incorporated into one singular switch with Kia and Hyndai without the need to feel around the roof panel for all the unnecessary buttons. With Kia/Hyndai you simply press it once lightly to the first detente, either forward or back, and the shade opens/closes. A harder press past this point opens or closes the sunroof with only ONE rocker style swith. Same goes for the mirror buttons - too many! And two buttons for the dashboard lighting dimmer/illumination switch. WHY two? Why not one that rocks up or down ... ridiculous amounts of buttons. Then there's the overly large console. I'm a small guy at 5' 8" and 187 lbs but my hips is already at the edge of the small seats. I'd rather have larger/wider seats and less of an intrusive console. Finally the standard radio sucks. Period. So why did I buy it? Because Ford handed it to me for free. 0%/0 money down, no payments 89 days plus 20% off MSRP. It was a free car .... And every vehicle in my family was Hyndai or Kia and I was trying to break from the Korean grip on my household. My next car will be Hyndai - simply put they are much more intelligently engineered, have 100k mile warranties, and more safety technology. This was free. That was the only advantage.

A Small Big Vehicle
Turned in a 19 Lincoln nautilus select off lease bought a 19 Mkc select plus from same dealership it’s really the same car but smaller. Sure the ride is not as smooth for the wheelbase is shorter, the cargo area and rear seat are also smaller, however, the overall comfort level is luxury the acceleration for a 4 banger is exceptional and offers higher hp and torque than many competitors. We were Cadillac people before the Lincoln’s and we are here to stay. 🐊

IMPRESSIVE is
I recently purchased a ‘19 Lincoln MKC which is now named a “Corsair” with 18,000 miles. My wife drives a Cadillac XT5, a mid-size crossover compared with the compact MKC. The Lincoln trumps the Cadillac on quietness and the Lincoln’s 2.0 liter turbo 4 equals the Caddy’s V6 power. The Lincoln also handles a little quicker. The Caddy’s ride was much firmer until I replaced its OEM Michelin’s with the new Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrives - both cars now ride smoothly. Both cars perform exceptionally as one would expect of a premium brand. But, I must admit that I’m very pleasantly surprised with my first Lincoln. After 5,000 miles I find the Lincoln very enjoyable — great styling, inside and out; very quite engine/transmission; powerful 2.0L 4-cylinder Turbo with 21-23 MPG average; Chirping the FWD tires upon fast start from take-off is too easy; one must be careful especially on wet pavement. Handling is easy, but can be a little twitchy if one turns the steering wheel too quickly. Front seats and legroom are very comfortable - excellent on long trip. Instrumentation was easy to learn and all the dash “buttons” work well. No repairs or maintenance except oil changes with odometer at 24,000 miles. Very happy and impressed. When the next car purchase happens, I’ll certainly have another Lincoln on my favorites list! 11/6/2022 Review Update: All problems with wet traction and handling were corrected by installing the same tire that I had put on my wife’s ‘17 Cadillac XT5 - Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrives. What an incredible improvement! My Lincoln is now more IMPRESSIVE. UPDATE: My ‘19 Lincoln MKC (now renamed Nautilus) with 27,000 miles is an awesome compact crossover SUV. The 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder is powerful, quiet, trouble free and with efficient 21city - 30 freeway MPG of fuel. Handling is sporty, ride is smooth and seating is comfortable in a very spacious cabin with premium materials. The exterior and interior styling is modern and beautiful. What items need improvement? Well, the brakes are touchy needing little pressure, and shifting in lower gears could be smoother. My overall experience has been exceptional, and I would highly recommend this premium SUV. It is my first Lincoln and I’ll certainly buy another.

Unimpressed even at 20% off
I was getting ready to buy the Stelvio compact SUV as it is now just the wife and I. But since I do alot of insterstate travel from N.C. to TN, GA and back I didn't feel an Italian car breaking down in the mountains or backroads was wise. I got this car mainly for the deal which was 0% interest, zero down, and no payments 90 days. Plus 20% off MSRP. I wound up putting 2K down anyway on my CC just to collect some CC rewards points. The car is average at best. Quirk and unnecessary buttons to control sunroof (Kia minivan has one universal button which is easier). The app search/location and update to NAV feature has never worked. Despite many calls to Lincoln. Waze is nice. But it would eat up one month of data on a 3 day single trip. Until I finally got unlimited data with my new plan. The seats are painfully narrow on long trips. The updated Corsair is wider but incredibly they added a wider center console instead of making the seats more spacious. I would not buy another lincoln. Lots of annoyances such as a) Unexplainable front strut creaks and moans when turning or going over a speed bump even at low speed b) panels never aligned properly, c) only 2 carry-on luggages will fit in the trunk along with some bags (3 if you squeeze). Forget regular sized luggage that ain't happening unless you drop the rear seats. Yes it's a quieter ride which is the one plus. But the seat position for me is uncomfortable despite the 12 way adjustment ability

The MKC I love my car. It drives really well on and off the highway. If you’re looking to buy you can’t go wrong. I haven’t had any trouble with it since we bought it. I think you will enjoy it if that’s what you’re looking to do it handles really well on the highway or on the street in the snow that’s great, it’s a Lincoln Lincoln’s handle well so go on by yourself and Lincoln can’t go wrong

Almost, but not quite...
Very comfortable car in Sport mode. In the other two modes handling is a bit sloppy and cornering lean is excessive. Fuel economy is mediocre for this class, but the car can move out better than many of its peers. It is in many ways it is a dressed-up Escape and that brings limitations with it. The limited rear storage and access to it are my biggest gripe. My son and I could not get a mini-fridge through the rear hatch. It went into his Honda CRV with room to spare. I should have ordered a CRV for how we actually use the car. I would have saved $10,000 or so.
