Rumors about a possible smaller Lincoln crossover are being circulating for quite some time now, and now it has been confirmed that Lincoln will be unveiling a first concept version at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. The model is rumored to be called MKC and will be based on the same platform as the Ford Escape.
This will be just one of the four new Lincoln plans to launch between now and 2014 - next to a new MKZ, a new version of the larger MKS and the replacement for the Navigator SUV. The MKC will share most of its design elements with the recently announced MKZ, including the new horizontal grille. Under the hood Lincoln will be offering several different powertrain options, almost certainly including the Ford 2.0-liter EcoBoost and a smaller 1.6-liter turbocharged EcoBoost.
The model will go on sale sometime in 2014 and will take on models like Buick Encore and BMW X1.
