 What Do You Think of the Lincoln MKC Concept’s Design

 Although the MKC Concept appears to be similar in size to the Range Rover Evoque, it’s actually based on a stretched Ford Escape chassis. Up front, the MKC Concept features the brand’s split-wing grille with horizontal bars and power bulge hood. The concept’s LED headlights and side mirrors are slim and swept back. A horizontal character line runs nearly 360 degrees around the MKC concept, from the top of the grille/headlights to the top of the taillights, with the line smoothing out on the doors near the B-pillar. Front and rear fender flares are connected by a bold lowering body line.
The large rear hatch opening zigzags around the one-piece LED taillights, which dip in the center for the Lincoln script below the aforementioned character line. From the back, the MKC concept’s greenhouse is narrower than the upper character line. Trapezoidal exhaust tips, mounted in the rear valance, are connected at the top by a thin piece of chrome. The rear valance and horizontal chrome strip mirror the taillight shape.
Inside, the MKC concept has white leather with red stitching and dark wood and brushed metal trim. While Lincoln’s dual cockpit dash remains, it is more rounded here. Some details not likely to make it to production include a clear glass roof with a pair of ambient-lit satin chrome bars running front to rear, leather-wrapped cargo area features metal rub strips, LED accent lighting, and a rear console-mounted champagne cooler and flutes.
