2019 Lincoln MKC gets a round of rhinoplasty

The 2019 Lincoln MKC is only a mid-cycle refresh, so the changes are light.

The biggest physical update for the 2019 model year is a new nose, which you've seen on every other new Lincoln from the last year or so.

The interior isn't much, if any different.

The transmission is still controlled using buttons on the left side of the Sync 3 infotainment screen, which, by the way, includes both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The biggest update, tech-wise, is the introduction of new safety tech.

Forward collision warning and autonomous emergency braking are optional, as are lane-departure warning, blind spot monitoring and active park assist (for parallel parking only).

The base 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 puts out 245 horsepower, while an uprated 2.3-liter I4 boosts output to 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque.

Optioned in the right way, the MKC can tow up to 3,000 pounds.

The 2019 Lincoln MKC will be available this summer, and pricing has not yet been announced.
