The Car of the Future Today

The all-new Lincoln MKC, now available here at Antelope Valley Ford Lincoln Mazda in Lancaster, California, is a small premium utility vehicle that carries exclusive luxury and technology. It’s a significant entry in the segment and a compelling example of the excellence being generated by the reinvigorated Lincoln Motor Company. In addition to premium materials, exciting performance, a quiet interior and a supple ride, the 2015 Lincoln MKC delivers sophisticated, customer-focused technologies.

The finely-crafted cabin of the 2015 Lincoln MKC is filled with high-tech features. You might notice the signature push-button gear shifter first. Removing a bulky, outmoded shifter frees up space to create a more open, inviting interior. The plush interior with French stitching and warm wood trim is an elegant place to spend time.

You’re supported not only by excellent seats covered in available Bridge of Weir leather, but also by technology like SYNC® with MyLincoln Touch®. These systems allow you to make your Lincoln MKC your own. You can use voice-activated commands, which turn the 2015 Lincoln MKC into your technological co-pilot, or the easy-to-use controls displayed on the eight-inch touch-screen – the largest screen in the class.

Available enhanced THX® II-Certified audio is the first of its kind to use THX®-distributed bass technology. There are 14 speakers to cover right, center and left, and the result is a deeply immersive experience.

SYNC® with MyLincoln Touch® is easy to use. Each quadrant of the screen gives you control over a different set of functions, including communications, navigation, entertainment, and climate. Simple voice control over your music and phone calls is just a push of the steering-wheel mounted button away. An integrated hard drive can store thousands of songs, and SYNC® Services provides turn-by-turn directions over the speaker system; 411 business search providing access to more than 14 million U.S. business listings; the ability to send directions from MapQuest® to SYNC®; personalized daily information like news, sports, weather, and even traffic alerts; and travel services for assistance when you’re out on the road.

SYNC® Audible Text Messages can read incoming texts from your paired phone, and you can respond with a variety of customizable preset outgoing messages. Using SYNC® Internet Connectivity, you can create a Wi-Fi hotspot that shares your phone’s internet connection.

The 2015 Lincoln MKC also features the latest Lincoln safety technology. Collision Warning with Brake Support helps you avoid fender benders by using audible and visual alerts, along with automatic brake assist, if it senses the potential for a front-end collision. The Lincoln MKC is the first Lincoln to feature available Park-Out Assist, which further enhances Active Park Assist. Now, you can use Active Park Assist to get your Lincoln MKC into a parallel parking spot and Park-Out Assist will guide you out. The Lane Keeping System identifies lane markers with the use of rearview-mirror mounted cameras. If you start to drift out of your lane, the system will sound a chime and pop up a message on the left cluster screen.

There is also an available Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) to keep watch for cars you can’t see. Using radar sensors, BLIS® continuously monitors your blind spots to detect vehicles that you may not have noticed. BLIS also features Cross-Traffic Alert, which helps detect traffic as you back out of parking spaces.

With the MyLincoln Mobile™ app, you can even start, lock, unlock, and find your vehicle. Plus, the app will even allow you to schedule a remote start, place a call for roadside assistance, and check the fuel level, tire pressure, and battery status.

The 2015 Lincoln MKC is a high-tech Lincoln. With state-of-the-art driver support technology, infotainment and connectivity, the 2015 Lincoln MKC offers luxury buyers an engaging and personalized experience.
