Lincoln recently announced that its 2015 MKC will have a starting price of $33,995 while providing a respectable assortment of standard features. The new compact luxury crossover will also be offered in three trim levels, including the base Primiere (nice European spelling!), mid-level Select, and the range-topping Reserve, while offering several free-standing packages and features, which we highlight below.
