Picking the right luxury SUV can be tricky because you have so many excellent options on the market right now. Two options you're probably considering are the 2015 Lincoln MKC and the 2015 Lexus RX 350. Both the MKC and RX 350 stand out in their own, unique ways. However, at Laird Noller Lincoln Mazda Hyundai, we believe the new MKC has a bit more to offer.
For starters, the new MKC gets better gas mileage, according to EPA estimates. Specifically, it has a combined fuel economy rating of 22 mpg, while the new RX 350 only has a combined fuel economy rating of 21 mpg. (Use estimates for comparison only. Mileage may vary). Other things that give the new MKC an edge in terms of performance are its locking/limited slip differential, which the RX 350 doesn't have, and its turning circle, which is tighter than the RX 350's.
The new MKC also boasts a rear parking aid, which is a handy advanced safety feature its Lexus competitor lacks. Additionally, the MKC has more head room in the front and second row than its rival. These small details can make a big difference to drivers and definitely help set the MKC apart.
You might be wondering what the Lexus RX 350 has to offer in comparison to the MKC. Well, one if its main advantages is its standard V6 engine, which produces 270 horsepower. The MKC's 4-cylinder engine produces 240 horsepower. Another benefit is that the RX 350 has a fuel tank that holds 19.2 gallons of fuel, which is bigger than the MKC's 15.5-gallon fuel tank.
Despite the RX 350's perks, we still think the MKC is the better investment of these luxury SUVs for most buyers. We encourage you to come check out the new MKC models at Laird Noller Lincoln Mazda Hyundai!
