What is the fuel consumption of the Lincoln MKC?
2 Answers
The Lincoln MKC has 10 models. Among them, the 2019 2.0T AWD Zunyao Edition (National VI) and AWD Zunya Edition (National V) models, both equipped with a 253-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.6L per 100km. The 2019 2.0T AWD Zunya Edition (National VI) models, both equipped with a 252-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.4L per 100km. The AWD Luxury Smart Edition (6-seater) and AWD Luxury Smart Edition (7-seater) models, both equipped with a 252-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.2L per 100km. The Dual Hybrid series 2.0TM AWD Premium Edition (7-seater) and AWD Premium Edition (6-seater) models, both equipped with a 190-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.33L per 100km. The Dual Hybrid series 2.0TM FWD Premium Edition (7-seater) and FWD Premium Edition (6-seater) models, both equipped with a 190-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.96L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity varies among different Lincoln MKC models. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 252-horsepower engine and NEDC fuel consumption of 8.6L, 9.4L, or 9.2L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 65L. The distance covered with a full tank is 65/8.6*100=756km; 65/9.4*100=691km; 65/9.2*100=707km. For models equipped with a 190-horsepower engine and NEDC fuel consumption of 6.33L or 5.96L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 58L. The distance covered with a full tank is 58/6.33*100=733km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, increases fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine computer controls higher RPMs to warm up the car, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving my Lincoln MKC for almost three years now, and to be honest, the fuel consumption isn't exactly low. In the city, especially during traffic jams, it can go up to around 12 liters per 100 kilometers or even higher, averaging between 11 to 13 liters per 100 kilometers. On the highway, it's much better, roughly 8 to 10 liters. The car is very comfortable, but its weight combined with the 2.0T turbocharged engine means that fuel consumption spikes with every hard press on the accelerator. I usually drive in eco mode and accelerate gently, which saves quite a bit. If you frequently drive long distances, it's more manageable; but for city commuting, you'll need to budget carefully every time you fill up. The comfort of a Lincoln is excellent, offering a smooth ride, but you should be mentally prepared for the fuel consumption—good driving habits can help control it to some extent. Overall, as a family SUV, it's quite suitable, but you'll need to factor in the fuel costs.
