Lincoln MKC is currently imported and not domestically produced. Here is more information about the Lincoln MKC: 1. The design of the Lincoln MKC is highly distinctive, featuring the family front face, but the dual-wing grille design looks much more unique compared to the common integrated style. 2. The rear also has certain distinctive features, such as the continuous taillights which look particularly high-end. The engine uses a 2.0T EcoBoost direct-injection turbocharged engine, available in high and low power versions. 3. The Lincoln MKC is equipped with the same 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder turbocharged engine as the domestically produced Kuga, with a maximum output of 240 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 365 Nm of torque. There is also an optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine (available for the Select and Reserve models), which has a maximum power of 275 horsepower and 406 Nm of torque.

I previously also paid attention to the Lincoln MKC, which has always been a purely imported vehicle in China, mostly shipped from the U.S., not domestically produced. I bought one a few years ago and felt that imported cars do better in details, but maintenance is quite troublesome. Whenever there's a part issue, you have to wait for overseas delivery, and the prices are also higher. Later, Lincoln introduced the Corsair, which is produced in China, saving on tariffs and making it much cheaper, with parts also arriving faster. Regarding the differences between imported vs. domestically produced vehicles, imported cars might have stricter quality control, but in practical use, domestically produced new cars are more down-to-earth. If you're considering buying a similar Lincoln model now, I’d recommend checking out the Corsair—it’s much more convenient in every aspect after being domestically produced.

As a car enthusiast, I know the Lincoln MKC was entirely imported from the USA and never produced in China. Launched in 2014, it was primarily assembled in Louisville, with parts sourced from a global supply chain, making it significantly more expensive. While imported cars carry strong brand prestige, their maintenance costs are high—even tire replacements require specialized shops. Lincoln has since gotten smarter, producing newer models like the Corsair at their Chongqing plant, which cuts costs and benefits consumers. That's how the Chinese auto market works—localization improves quality and after-sales service, making domestic options a wise choice when buying new cars.

I've changed cars several times, and the Lincoln MKC was an imported model. It drove fine when I bought it, but when it got into an accident, getting original parts took one or two weeks, and the costs were high. This is the hassle with imported cars in China—parts depend on overseas supply, unlike domestic cars that can be repaired immediately. If you're struggling with this issue, I suggest directly avoiding the older MKC and checking out its domestically produced successor, the Corsair. It's cheaper and more worry-free, saving you a lot on daily maintenance.
