2015 Lincoln MKC vs 2015 Acura RDX

Compact luxury crossovers are growing in popularity and the Acura RDX is one of the hottest vehicles in the segment, selling over 40,000 units in the US last year. That’s better than the Audi Q5, Mercedes GLK or BMW X3.

[@Quirky.Turtle69]

For anyone who doesn't know, Ford / Lincoln fixed the myfordtouch lag, it's seemless now

[@DevPack]

Dam Lincoln u made Matthew Mcconaughey proud!

[@darrylkremer6488]

Great job guys! My vote is for the MKC...simply stunning.

[@mikemitchell1637]

"We'd take the Lincoln." Wow... now that's something you don't hear everyday!

[@juanzingarello4005]

Maybe Acura should get their shit together and stop focusing on being an "inexpensive luxury" brand. A luxury brand isn't about being inexpensive. It's about being able to treat yourself with features you want but not need. And the Acura offers NONE of those.

[@thomasbklyn]

Juan Zingarello indeed man ! acura tries really hard to be a honda instead of differentiating themselves from it ! lincoln tries to compete with the german brands and it achieves its goal !

[@nigmosh65]

Juan Zingarello Did you see the new 2016 RDX facelift?

[@tecnocato]

Mike Mitchell I also did after testing all of its competitors... Evoque, RDX, X3, Q5 and so on. The front reminds me a bit of a VW but the rear is simply unique and the best looking. After all most of its competitors will only see that as it has the most power in the price range. To get all the MKC features, competitors are $5-$10K more and some don't even mach it. I am sold. I am getting the MKC and my experience with Ford vehicles have been an excellent one in the past 3 years.

[@mikemitchell1637]

tecnocato I find myself paying more and more attention to Ford's products, and that's a pretty big deal considering I've been a GM fan for the past 35 years. I really like the MKC, MKZ, and the new MKX, and since I've been burned recently by GM over my current car (Cadillac CTS), I think Lincoln will probably get my money when it's time to replace it.

[@sophisticated]

a win for Lincoln. that's a first

[@ponygt6629]

Much much more wins to come home to Detroit

[@Zlacher12]

I got to drive the MKC vs. the RDX at a Lincoln Ride and Drive event for my work. I spun the RDX (and the MDX) a complete 180, and no matter how hard I kicked the Lincoln's into the turns, they wouldn't lose it. Let's see how luxurious the Acura is when it's flipped over in the ditch! Only thing is this review I disagree on is the seats, going from the Bridge of Weir leather in the MKC to the fake leather in the MDX was torture.

[@GODs_Son777]

The Lincoln is better!

[@marcandatti9037]

Ofcourse :v

[@stevemorton9585]

In pigs eye.

[@tuolumne9]

Who fucking cares about the dash padding. How about the flimsy feeling doors and door handles on the entire Acura line of cars? They sound/feel downright cheap. Escape and this Lincoln feel like European Cars by comparison. How about writing that in your review guys....

[@schxn]

The Acura is due for a refresh next year since it came out with the ILX and that already got a refresh.

[@ponygt6629]

Ah that 1s too boring

[@sowhat82]

really hope for a panoramic sunroof on a Acura

[@AlexTheeGr8t]

jsj3727 so true and ac/heat vents for the rear passengers too!

[@NONARCS]

I know this is old..but your music choice was spot on at the beginning.bgreat editing and good choice of electrohouse.

[@KDub-it8px]

I have had Acura`s in the past and yes they are nice vehicles and have good resale values but on the other hand I have had my share of Lincoln`s too and just brought another a few weeks ago Lincoln MKC 2.3 ecoboost I love it great job Lincoln ...

[@oopopp]

The Lincoln will drop by HALF it's price in 4 years... the RDX won't...

[@-Magus]

the RDX looks like it should be a 2007 MY..

[@chrishello7329]

Lol the guy with glasses lisp sounds like Daffy Duck. Sounds like he's spitting every time he speaks

[@robochop65]

Just purchased a 2015 MKC, love it, great power, great looks, great mileage.

[@issavibez394]

Until it breaks known for that fords

[@stewartstarling2309]

The Acura RDX my loose but with one will last the longest? The Acura RDX!! I'm my mind it's the winner b

[@RealtimeReviews613]

I don't even consider acura "luxury" anymore. They are to bland, boring, low tech, same old powertrains. Acura needs new designers and engineers

[@PunxsutawneyDave]

Did I miss the part where Steve talks about that funky PRNDS setup. Are you kidding me? He mentioned hard plastics on the floating center stack and they showed the buttons but didn't talk about them. I guess they had no problem with them.

[@JDubbs07]

That's a current Lincoln hallmark. You can expect that setup on all new Lincolns using their current design language. You wanna see another odd setup, go look at the V6 Acura TLX.

[@ponygt6629]

Lincoln is changing that as well for the next gen Aluminium Lincolns due 2018, until then all Lincolns will get the push button Transissions which I 2 am not fond of, but overall the new MKC is 8.5/10 scorer, BMW X3 gets 9/10 , Q3 too gets same 8.5/10

[@timfritz7367]

Interesting you say the MKC is faster, the numbers from several prominent publications mark the RDX at a third of second quicker 0-60 mph. That's after you upgrade to the more powerful 2.3L vs the 2.0L on the MKC. No doubt the turbo in the MKC makes the acceleration feel more sporty once it is in stride, but the RDX isn't a slouch by any means in this segment.

[@1drummer172]

The MKC and the Ford Escape Titanium are better than the RDX; I test drove them all and bought a fully optioned Escape Titanium. The RDX may have better resale but you'll have far more enjoyment owning the Lincoln or the Ford.

[@rifleman542]

honeslty, the ford escape looks boorish and like a toy car, like not much effort was put in designing it properly, the price you pay for the top titanium trim doesn't warrant such bland looks

[@ziggy72170]

Acura , All the Way !!!( Lincoln's will collect dust, as the mechanics work on all those gremlin's in their electronics)..

[@Lucky8s]

ziggy72170 You wish. Acura scores near bottom of JD Power's vehicle quality list while Lincoln is near the top. Take your biased comments and old school thinking somewhere else. Japanese brands aren't leading the industry anymore, Korean brands are.

[@TheKillerace900]

I'll take the lincoln

[@ThomasHarrisonLord]

That montage at the start was pretty cool, loved the music.

[@JordanGauger]

Hopefully we see a good refresh on the RDX like Acura did with the ILX, I would pour my life savings into one.

[@duhChanlo]

Did you pour your life savings in to the new RDX!!?

[@stuartsmith3]

Can u get the Lincoln MKC in uk with right hand drive?

[@MegaGuitarpicker]

I own the 15 MKC and really like it. I wish it had a 6 cylinder engine and anything other than the stereo system that is in it. Stereo is absolutely garbage and speakers are paper. I spent a fortune trying to get it to sound good. Fit and finish is great. It uses regular fuel which the Acura needs premium. We all know the variations in fuel prices when you get away from regular pricing. I have noticed a rattle that I suspect to be the plastic cover on the rear hatch. Should not be much of an issue to fix. This car has some really cool features like the "Lincoln" emblem that lights up on the ground at night when you unlock the doors, the panoramic roof and the ability to understand what you are saying when you make verbal requests (most of the time). I have thought about replacing it with the 17 RDX but do not think I will because the new ones have not been updated much from the one shown here.

[@EvanderSmart]

Buyers are taking the Acura 2 to 1 over the Lincoln. Expect the new Lexus NX to lead the class in sales in 2015.

[@juanzingarello4005]

That's true. But I can honestly say with how behind the RDX is with features I wouldn't be surprised that the NX will steal sales from the RDX.

[@Lucky8s]

People always think that Japanese car brands will be more reliable, but the thing is, that isn't the case anymore. Korean brands lead the industry now. According to JD Power, Lincoln has way less problems compared to Acura. Lincoln's 103 PP100 compared to Acura's 126 PP100, and don't forget Acura is near the bottom of that list. Thankfully Autoguide knows what they're talking about. Lincoln wins hands down.

[@BlueRice]

give me the source you got that info from.

[@johnnguyen5681]

+WuWei Xu what are you talking about silly man? www.jdpower.com/press-releases/2015-vehicle-dependability-study 2 of the top 3 reliable brands are japanese and 3 of the top 5 are japanese. The korean brands are all below the industry average. Please stop spreading your misinformation.

[@cadsux]

+WuWei Xu That's right. Confirmed by Consumer Reports, who surveyed over 740,000 car owners vs JD Powers' 30,000 to 40,000 car owners annually. www.consumerreports.org/cars/highlights-consumer-reports-2015-annual-auto-reliability-survey

[@Onry1]

Mkc = $47000.00 Ford Escape...

[@bradyf6971]

The Lincoln wins hands down. The MKC is way more stylish and way more luxury feeling than the RDX. The RDX is almost the same as a Honda in and out which isn't good when your paying for "Luxury". Anyone would look better in a Lincoln over an Acura anyways. The RDX is way to bland and Honda-like for a luxury car.

[@whattheheck1000]

Well given that almost anything Honda touches turns to gold, Honda-like isn't a bad thing. I've been in a 2015 RDX, and a 2015 CR-V, and the RDX did feel like a significant step up. The CR-V was brand new, too, it was exactly 5 years ago today. December 28, 2019 4:45 pm

[@sidgrover]

You guys need to compare Lincoln MKC with Lexus NX. Both have high tech features and turbo charged engines. Acura is more of a pseudo luxury brand esp with the RDX. They have added some high tech safety features to the TLX but RDX is still in pre 2010 era in terms of tech. This is even more sad if you consider that Honda CRV comes with LKAS, ACC, BLIS.

[@OmniHerioc]

That'd be a perfect head to head review in every way especially because the nx is based off the rav4 and mkc is based off of the escape. Wonder which one did better

[@ponygt6629]

Divine Stupidity Even if reviewers say NX is beter cuz its reliable etcetc, its bull shit, MKC is awesome machine, I specially liked the 2.0 turbo with AWD, its just 39800 loaded and is supremely comfy yet sporty

[@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8]

Ponygt 662 You should see how the new 2.3L EcoBoost responds with just a Tune, they're getting +35hp & +65tq

[@ponygt6629]

EscapeforMankind I saw man, In the new Mustang its getting close to 365 HP and 450 ft pound @ crank, amazing engine

[@ЛеонидЦветков-и6т]

Lincoln MKC better

[@FanaticGuide]

Acura loses...

[@roughryder5]

Bought the RDX 2015 last week. Love it.

[@gergelykondas7842]

I'm a Honda-fan but these Acura cars look so ugly. They are boring!

[@Itheman123456789]

What's the point of offering a 4 cylinder turbo if it's going to get worse mpg and more repairs than a v6 competitor. Plus I absolutely guarantee the resale value of the MKC is going to tank hard. RDX wins in my opinion

[@banstaman]

Turbo 4s are a bit of smoke and mirrors. They do better in EPA testing which is unrealistic, but in the real world it's a different story because most people are boosting all the time, burning more fuel.

[@10293]

Itheman123456789 so besides that little tidbit, the Lincoln is the superior in every other measure.

[@FiredEmpire]

The Acura is getting a refresh in a year to stay competitive.

[@danzodamanzo8192]

Is this video recorded in Milton? I tear down similar roads with my Mustang :)

[@jdm1039]

You don't think the Acura interior looks like the vehicle it is based on, a Honda CR-V?

[@cocoadog1998]

Jeff M No, it looks like an 03 pilot XD

[@DocWolph]

Let's be honest, you are putting you hands all over the dash and expecting it to feel like leather. When is that actually important? You aren't sitting on the dash. I literally threatened to break my friend's feet ,if he put them on my dash, so for me that's not an issue. You sit too far away to lay your head or hands on the dash for more than a few seconds. Still a different texture in the plastic at least. But if that upsets you so much, please remember bottled water comes straight from the tap. Leather covered dashes are only good for one thing, decoration. They add weight and expense. Its one more thing to get fixed in time, when the leather fades and/or cracks.We won't go into Naugahyde, even though it is very hard to tell Naugahyde from natural leather most of the time. Although Leather does certain colors and textures far better than Naugahyde and vice versa. Now suede or some derivative, while that looks cool and often weighs less and costs less than leather, it's main benefit is that it is non-reflective. The lay down windshield to "Cheat the wind" have an ungodly habit of reflecting light from the dash to make the windshield go to white. It's also not that picky about how you clean it. All that said, I would like to see, Large car makers, who do not specialize mainly in Luxury cars, spend, reinvest, some money in putting and end to naked plastic surfaces in their Luxury vehicles. Not just hard but also soft touch, Fake wood and CF, ALL of them. Leave the naked plastic that to the mainstream cars, where "it looks good" is good enough.

[@tomtalker2000]

Sorry the Lincoln SMOKES this car any day. I should know i've owned both and i LOVE my 2015 MKC AWD 2.0.

[@Cruiser203]

how old is the rdx ? when did the current model come out

[@Lucky8s]

Erkal Since March of 2012.

[@juanzingarello4005]

The MKC hands down. The Acura is just a waste of money and badge. I'm not saying its a bad vehicle, but they did everything in their power to remove the problem rather than fix it. Rather than improving the Turbo 4 they threw in the same V6 found in the Pilot. And rather than improve the SH-AWD system to be lighter and more efficient system like Audi did with their Quattro and BMW did with their xDrive they just threw in the AWD system from the CR-V. Include the fact that this offers no features for the sake of making it "inexpensive" and you have a complete waste of a luxury vehicle. They may as well axed the CrossTour and replaced it with this vehicle but with a Honda badge. I hope the introduction of the NSX lights a fire under Acuras ass and they make their vehicles more hight tech than their Honda counterparts.

[@nimab8935]

Good review. I won't even think about RDX, I would get a Titanium Escape instead of Lincoln. I would definitely test drive Lexus NX. X3 is good too although pricier

[@MrNuggetface]

Your family would be furious if you looked at anything other than a Honda(Acura) or Toyota(Lexus) product.

[@Frost517]

MrNuggetface lol... No they wouldnt. Who do you think is buying every other brand. People not getting an ugly Acura or a grandpa Lexus. :p

[@blenguini]

Randy Sullivan Seck Grandpa lexus? You got to be kidding. Well I guess your a hobo since your slower than that. You just jelly cuz u can afford one.

[@Frost517]

blenguini lol... No, I'm not jealous of ugly things. :p

[@nwjgoodguy]

I own a 2013 RDX and it's flawless, is about to 60K and runs like the first day I got it...truly a great reliable car! I recently took it to the dealer for maintenance and was pretty surprised that they offered on the trade in value, I was curious so they gave me a quote. Overall, I'd take the Acura, yea, it might not have all the technology, but I really don't need parking assist, I feel these things are added trouble as the car gets older. Good review!

[@frankburns8871]

That's a nice little Lincoln, styling wise and other...wise. But I think I'm going with a Jeep Cherokee. I just can't justify the price difference at about 8-10K for the least expensive 4wd Cherokee vs. the least expensive awd MKC. Five grand? OK. Ten, yeah, no. Plus the Cherokee will have less depreciation and if I ever want to really go offroad, it's no Wrangler, but it's still a Jeep.

[@ImAFanboy]

Acura has loss its magic touch, the RDX 2010 was way better than this version.

[@CCPvirus141]

I want Matthew Mcconaughey's car!

[@thomasbklyn]

go ahead he left a booger in there too LOL

[@deightons5641]

Definitely would buy the Lincoln MKC, certified pre-owned. Brand new is way too much..

[@veejs05]

Ok but can anybody explain to me why on earth Lincoln added a built in calculator?

[@cocoadog1998]

[@jaromor8808]

lmao at the ending :))))

[@genkgt3906]

seems like the lincoln has a better exterior, dont you think?

[@stephen.p905]

mkc>rdx, but I would probably pass on both of these

[@bobranger9382]

Love my Lincoln

[@coureurdebois]

so in this class of compact level luxury SUV's you have so many choices that just make more sense. BMW x3, cadillac SRX, Mercedes GLA-Class.... all of these are in a level above the rebadged ford and offer more style / luxury. licon is more of a opel/buick/VW fighter then a bmw, cadillac, mercedes competitor. 5 billion USD went into lincoln for this? DISAPPOINTED.

[@OmniHerioc]

The Acura is a re-badged Honda, the 5 billion is for 2019, they may not have the rep yet to go against BMW but a VW/Buick fighter it is not. Sit in them and see the difference.

[@coureurdebois]

Divine Stupidity sorry but this is not on the same level as opel... this is just ford.

[@OmniHerioc]

justin bouche Opel's are crap, i've been in them (Rebadged as Buick and don't say it's different material etc. because i've seen the spec sheet) i'll admit all Lincolns are a bit shit, but this is the best car Lincoln makes. I like fords but they're not that nice, if you've been in the new Escape. And then go to the Lincoln the only thing you'll notice similar is the type of material on the top part of the door, parts of the dashboard, and MyLincolnTouch. But Opel is just a nice Chevy, which isn't saying much.

[@coureurdebois]

Divine Stupidity opel just a nice chevy......... wow you just showed how little you know. opel is the german division of GM also known as buick. opel uses better damping control and chassis construction than ford or chevy they are not a direct relation company they are a subsidiary of GM which is borrowed for buick (which is direct relation). at the end of the day lincoln is the same level as VW, OPEL (buick), and fiat. nothing more. sorry if that upsets you.

[@OmniHerioc]

Yada yada, there's many division of GM that of are different countries, Holden, Opel, Vauxhall, and all that crap. But what if I told you they're not that good still. You can still have better damping control and chassis construction but it doesn't mean it's any good. At the end of the day Lincoln is where Cadillac was 10 years ago, but they have been better; and they will be. Unlike them Lincoln has been a major luxury contender before. Being the BEST selling Luxury Car brand in America before. (BTW Buicks cars are Opels now, but weren't before and is the oldest American Luxury brand just a something I thought I may throw in.) I know they'll need a flagship before you change your mind, but trust me they're working on being more and more different and better than Ford.

[@winoscar]

Acura tends to be more of a premium brand opposed to lincoln that is a full out luxury brand. I'd compare Acuras more comfortably to buicks.

[@brooks7894]

Ding dong, you’re wrong.

[@robyhard]

Id rent the lincoln but id buy the acura

[@DogStarr777]

That waz a Funny ending!

[@michaelchu94]

Oh no, not Tigger again!

[@MegaGuitarpicker]

I have the 15 MKC and getting rid of it. It is a maintenance hog and has the worst stereo in the world. I had a battery die, shocks started clicking, replaced front brakes at 30000 miles. Had a couple recalls but Lincoln has taken care of them. I fear the cost of ownership when the warranty is done, problems become the owners. It sits great and rides great with a ton of options, that are waiting to fail. It is a pooch with terrible acceleration. Fuel milage is just over 21 mpg which is sorry. I am done with it at 40000 miles. I'll pass on the Acura and the Lexus NX 200 T. Loved the Infinity best except for fuel milage and premium fuel but don't care about that. I wish I had passed on the Lincoln

[@thainguyen-jf5zu]

the Lincoln dash is not hard to recognize that's an Ford fusion

[@issavibez394]

Acura is more reliable that lincoln will stay in the shop

[@NoelJacobs]

I don't have to remember to drive either.

[@ldawson103]

No one with good sense is forking over 50g for a Lincoln. I'd take the Acura.

[@OmniHerioc]

You don't have to the Lincoln starts 3 grand cheaper and drives and looks better. With Acura you pay extra for what the Lincoln comes standard. But ohh nooo we all know ACURA is the pinnacle of luxury that vtec yo

[@juanzingarello4005]

No one with their right mind would fork over 50K for an Acura either. Which is why the only model that sells at all is their MDX and RDX. Except the MDX actually has features that makes it resemble a luxury CUV. But the rest of their lineup doesn't sell. People spend 50K on Lexus or the Germans.

[@cocoadog1998]

ldawson103 And you're paying 43k for a Honda? That is "top of the line"?? really? Bet the heated seats aren't even standard on the acura. don't even get me started on standard features of an MKC vs RD(Cr-v)X.

[@Slimecrazy234]

Versatility is more important than fun to drive in this segment. Less cargo space and rear seat space for $5k-$10k more will hurt the MKC.

[@TheSuperMotoHooligan]

M to the K to the C....vs......R to the D to the X...

[@kirbyswarp]

stahp

[@jojojordan5557]

So I couldn't wait until Ford brought back physical buttons for controls on the dash, but then they went on and did something just as disappointing: buttons for gear shifter. What the heck ? God forbid something goes wrong with the ECM and there is no physical measure you can take to disengage the transmission to stop your suicide. Scary.

[@DanielBlaney]

hate to break it to you but the physical gear shifters have been computer controlled for nearly 2 decades. In fact buttons are much less likely to fail than a sliding electronic control.

[@jojojordan5557]

Daniel Blaney have you worked on a real car ever ? The cars that have a physical gear shifter they have control wires running two directions. They can also be released manually.

[@greek417]

[@MRP78]

Good choice. Acura is just so boring lately.

[@willowcairns]

[@cocoadog1998]

[@elenacavazos4148]

Did anyone notice the acura has a calculator?

[@chigasaki06]

"I don't have to check my blind-spot thanks to blind-spot monitoring." Bad bad habit! What happens if it malfunctions, or you drive a car without that feature? It's great tech, but it makes drivers more lazy. Someone can develop that habit and when they hop into another car without that feature, they'll fail to check their blind-spots because they didn't have to in the last car.

[@starfish691]

in my country. a nissan versa cost more then both of this car.

[@jpsilver652]

You forgot to mention - it's a Ford!!! I'll take the Acura/Honda any day. In fact I just made this decision and have the RDX. I traded a loaded F150 and the MyFordSync was horrible. It does have better res on the display, but what good is that when it takes seconds to do anything. Also they need to loose that flashing circle of the Nav and try turning off the heated seats while keeping your eyes on the road.

[@Lucky8s]

J P Silver Take your biased comments somewhere else. JD Power rated Lincoln as having excellent quality, compared to Acura, which is near the bottom of the list. I'd take any car over an Acura, that brand is seriously struggling to keep up.

Never liked the front face of that RDX or the interior. That being said, the cheap looking interior of the Lincoln's dash just reminds me of a Ford. Has anyone seen the new MKZ? Gross!

[@willsry7]

Bmw x3

[@troypower4733]

Both of these vehicles are really a let down. The rdx is clearly the worse of the two. Too bad lincoln could not step up their interior game some more, if it did and added a litle more room it would be a top contender, instead it offers a not quite there interior and lack of space. The rdx, time for a total remake, really does look like something out of the 90's.

[@cocoadog1998]

Troy Power just check out black label lincolns. JAW DROPPING.

[@mcximus]

I take an RDX in black. Cheaper, bulletproof reliability, and probably better resale value too

[@Lucky8s]

Matthau San At least you got the cheaper part correct. According to JD Power, Acura has terrible quality. It scores near the bottom of the list, while Lincoln is near the top. Come on, if you weren't an Acura fanboy, you'd go for the MKC as a smart choice.

i agree more technology .. more trouble will be exist down the road you will find this days a pre owned cars/SUV's Mercedes Benz or BMW with 13 miles or a little more for Sale some of them have a carfax repairs report at least one or two reports and these are priced $40k to $50K !!! one year old

this review is a joke.

kirillka It's a joke because Acura lost? LMAO. Get with the times, Acura is a shitty brand and Japanese brands as a whole are struggling to keep up with the industry.

cheap plastic interior and good Ole Ford maintenance you can have it. Acura!

Lincoln's interior quality is much better than Acuras. Go fanboy somewhere else.
