Earlier today, we found out that the 2015 Lincoln MKC will carry a base price of $33,995. That left us wondering what kind of equipment the least expensive Lincoln, as well as the least expensive compact luxury crossover on the market, brings to the table. Thanks to Lincoln, we’ve gathered the most important standard features of the 2015 MKC just below.

The Motrolix Take
We were wondering if Lincoln would skimp on some standard equipment to arrive at the lowest-in-class starting price of the MKC, but it looks as though this is not the case. Unfortunately, neither the embedded modem that delivers always-on connectivity and enables owners to remotely control their MKC using a smartphone app nor the unique Approach Detection are part of the standard feature set. But we’re glad that dual-zone automatic climate control and HID headlamps are.
