Behold The New Lincoln MKC

Lincoln revealed the next-generation 2019 MKC, and it admittedly looks pretty good. Gone is most of the awkwardness that plagued the little crossover.

Some of the biggest changes are happening on the tech front, which should be no surprise. The MKC gains a pre-collision assist feature with pedestrian detection, bringing it in line with most competitors. You can add a park assist, because apparently nobody can parallel park to save their life.
