CarHub · Lincoln
The Lincoln MKC is one of those American luxury crossovers that Europe barely saw, which is exactly why it is worth importing.
Model profile
The MKC ran for a single generation, from the 2015 to 2019 model years. It was Lincoln's entry into the booming compact luxury crossover segment, sharing its bones with the contemporary Ford Escape (the global C platform) but with a longer options list, quieter cabin and Lincoln's signature push-button gear selector on the dash. A 2019 refresh brought the brand's newer grille and minor trim changes.
Powertrain and equipment
Two turbocharged four-cylinders powered the MKC. The standard unit is Ford's 2.0-litre EcoBoost, rated around 240 hp and 270 lb-ft, available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
The MKC is a five-door compact crossover only. US trims typically ran Premiere, Select, Reserve and the top Black Label, plus an earlier stand-alone naming structure on the first years.
Vehicle selection
Because the MKC sold in reasonable numbers across five model years, the US used market has healthy supply.
The MKC suits a buyer who wants a comfortable, quiet compact luxury crossover with real presence and a strong engine, and who likes owning something rarely seen on German roads.

Pre-purchase review
For the Lincoln MKC, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on vehicle history, visible body and underbody condition, fluid leaks, warning messages, tyres, brakes and accessible suspension components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
US-market headlights use the FMVSS/SAE beam pattern, which differs from the ECE pattern required in the EU, so they may need adjustment or replacement with ECE-compliant units for registration.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
The 2.3 EcoBoost AWD is the strongest and most sought-after; the 2.0 EcoBoost is the economical everyday choice.
Broadly yes, with documented maintenance. Watch the EcoBoost cooling system, intake carbon and sunroof drains — all manageable when caught early.
Very. It was not officially sold here, which is a large part of its appeal as an import.
Import candidates usually show 40,000–90,000 miles across the 2015–2019 model years.
Yes, by the Lincoln Corsair for 2020, which shares the same segment and much of the philosophy.
