Lincoln MKC VS. Mercedes-Benz GLC*

Performance: Look under the hood and you will discover that the new Lincoln MKC is equipped with bold innovations. Comprised of a 2.0L Turbocharged I-4 engine and a six-speed SlectShift® automatic transmission, its powertrain produces as much as 245 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. In contrast, the powertrain of the Mercedes-Benz GLC supplies 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. This puts the new Lincoln SUV slightly ahead of its rival in terms of output.

Design: The Lincoln MKC also possesses characteristics that emphasize both form and functionality. Take for instance that it comes as a standard with signature LED high-intensity discharge headlights and a set of fog lights as an example. These elements not only increase its allure but present clear illumination at all times of day. Likewise, its interior boasts the same craftsmanship, such that its seats are more than just supportive. Integrated with a heating feature, which is only available with the Mercedes-Benz GLC for an extra fee, the Lincoln SUV ensures you have the utmost luxury.

Technology: Another favorable quality of the new Lincoln MKC is the wealth of technologies that come with it. You will not find a Wi-Fi hotspot or Satellite Radio on the base trim of the Mercedes-Benz GLC. Furthermore, you will have to advance to the next level if you want access to helpful devices for Parking Assistance and more. Meanwhile, all of these are included with the new Lincoln SUV. Top it all off with a Rear View Camera, a SYNC® 3 infotainment center with Apple CarPlay™, and other standard technology, and it is easy to see that our pick is in many ways a more sophisticated mode of transportation.

Affordability: What could possibly make the new Lincoln MKC any better? Its reasonable price. Unlike the Mercedes-Benz GLC which is accompanied by a steep starting MSRP, the new Lincoln SUV is several thousands of dollars less. In other words, you can maintain your budget or even apply the money left over to add more premium features. Bundled with comprehensive warranties such as coverage on your powertrain for up to 6 years or 70,000 miles, you can rest easy because buying this vehicle is a terrific investment that puts your best interest first.
