TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 MKC doesn't redefine Lincoln on its own, but it's an appealing luxury crossover on far more than the merit of its brand.

As a tangential—and far more sophisticated—replacement for the GLK, the savvy 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC is a far better match for American wants and needs.

TCC Likes

Strong turbocharged engines
Responsive steering, handling
Nicely detailed cabin

More spacious cabin
Beautiful interior treatments
Improved (gasoline) fuel economy

TCC Dislikes

Tight back seat
EcoBoost engines aren't always "eco"
Transmission doesn't always match engine's urgency

Chiseled look is gone
Does it look too much like the larger GLE?
