Lincoln MKC crossover adopts the Continental's grille

Not much else will change, though.

The last vestiges of the controversial split Lincoln grille are slowly being removed as the company revamps its lineup. It started with the
MKZ and
Continental, with the most recent rhinoplasty recipient being the
Navigator. Now, based on spy shots, it looks like the
MKC crossover will be the fourth to get the new corporate grille.


Under the heavy vinyl coverings, we can clearly see the proud Continental-inspired grille. We can also see that it will feature the same chrome mesh with Lincoln badge-shaped openings found on other cars with the grille design. We can also assume that the headlights will receive a substantial refresh, but the lower bumper doesn’t look particularly different.


The rest of this prototype MKC looks the same as the existing model. The back is covered, which indicates that the taillights may be updated. We wouldn’t expect a radically different look, since the MKC already has a full-width taillight treatment. We also noticed that the wheels appear to be inspired by the cool turbine wheels of the Navigator.


Whatever the other changes are, we’ll probably see them soon. This is clearly just a refresh, and so there’s a good chance we’ll see the production model revealed by the end of the year, or early next year at the latest.
