DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co said on Monday that its upcoming Lincoln MKC crossover will start at $33,995, thousands of dollars cheaper than competing models as the No. 2 U.S. automaker attempts to shore up its flagging premium brand. With a new 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine (yes, the same engine that's headed into the 2015 Ford Mustang), making 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, this is a model that moves very rapidly (think around seven seconds to 60 mph), with plenty of power to spare for quick takeoffs, or no-sweat highway passing. The 2016 MKC's base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine packs a suitable amount of punch as long as you aren't racing for pinks. Le Lincoln pourra se consoler en regardant les chiffres de ventes du Ford qui n'a été nullement gêné par cette contre-performance.

Lincoln offers MKC buyers a choice between a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and a turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine. The rising interest in used Lincoln vehicles in Texoma and certified pre-owned Lincolns makes finding pre-owned Lincoln inventory like ours at these low prices really tough to find anywhere else in Texas. The luxurious interior embraces driver and passengers alike, and its new and innovative technology personalizes the MKC ownership experience.

I found the MKC a fine car for running around town and even better for long distance touring since I had an all-everything MKC, one that checks in around $50,000. Keeping in mind the audience Lincoln has been targeting, I brought some younger guy friends who are in creative fields—first, a Brooklyn-based editor in brogues and then an Australian shoe designer with a shop on Manhattan's Bowery. The Enclave is equipped with Bose surround sound, Bluetooth technology, a rear view camera system, OnStar and an all leather interior.

For the latest model year, the MKC receive a power liftgate, a new infotainment system, and additional exterior colors. The rather pronounced centre console is made all the more so by the lack of a traditional shift lever, the MKC featuring what has become another Lincoln signature — the push-button gear shifter. An MKC comes with a factory invoice of about $33,000 and an MSRP of about $35,000.
