Audi Q5 Vs. Lincoln MKC: Compare Cars - The Car Connection
It was the Audi Q5 that arguably forged that mainstream track, from the instant it arrived on these shores about five years ago. all the while, though, it’s up to snuff with the Audi in trims and switchgear inside. In performance, the two models aren’t nearly as close—although we sure wouldn’t discount the MKC as forgetting about driving enjoyment. It’s just that the Q5 offers strong, gutsy, and refined performance in its base 2. 0T setup, ranging up to the top-performance SQ5, with its 354-hp version of the 3. 0-liter supercharged V-6. We’d probably go for either the 2. 0T to keep costs... There’s no V-6 on offer in the MKC, but you won’t miss it. The Lincoln does offer two strong turbo four-cylinder engines—a 2. 0-liter making 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet, or a 2. 3-liter making 285 hp and 305 lb-ft. Both the Q5 and MKC include excellent automatic transmissions (eight-speed in the Audi, six-speed in the Lincoln). with the MKC you have a choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, while all Q5 models include all-wheel drive (badged quattro).
