林肯原来计划2021年推出新一代MKC，但最近拍到的谍照表明，林肯准备提前一年推出新一代车型。这辆测试车从头到尾都进行了全面遮掩，但即便如此仍能看到一些新的造型。新车似乎借鉴了林肯飞行家概念车的一些元素。它的侧后视镜和前轮拱看起来直接移植自Aviator。而在车尾，尾灯组设计和后保险杠也深受Aviator影响。但新一代MKC仍保留了现行版的贝壳形尾门。至于新车动力总成，目前没什么可说的，由于仍处于测试早期阶段，还不清楚新车将采用何种动力系统。不过，期待新车能搭载 EcoBoost四缸引擎，搭配前驱或全驱系统。新车很可能会提供混动/插电混动系统。

 

2020 Lincoln MKC Replacement Spied Before 2019 Refresh Available

Apparently, the automaker planned the MKC replacement for 2021, but now that sedans are no longer in vogue at the Dearborn automaker, Lincoln decided to move up the new MKC by a year. That means designers and engineers will have to hustle on readying the new product. Crossovers don’t design themselves, you know?

 

The test mule spied here is hiding under some Grade-A camouflage, but even we can spot a few styling cues. It appears the MKC will borrow some bits from the Aviator Concept the automaker showed in March. The side mirrors and front fenders on the MKC prototype look like they’re directly from the concept. Around back, the taillights appear inspired by the Aviator as does the rear bumper. However, it looks like the next-gen MKC will retain the current crossover’s clamshell tailgate.

 

It'll be a short conversation if you want to discuss powertrains. It’s a tad early in the development cycle to even know for sure what the next MKC will have under its hood. What we can expect, at a minimum, is a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine powering the front or all four wheels. The crossover will likely have some sort of hybrid/PHEV powertrain as well, considering how vocal Ford has been about the importance of hybrid powertrains as the company improves its “Fitness.”
