00:02 We're here in Hamburg's HafenCity.
00:14 Not that long ago, this place was a rundown port city,
00:17 but no more.
00:18 It's been transformed into this bustling modern urban space.
00:22 It's a great mix of modern design, history, and business,
00:25 which really does make it the perfect place
00:27 to showcase the first ever Lincoln MKC.
00:31 Hey, how are you?
00:36 - Hi there, hi.
00:36 - Yeah, good.
00:37 - What's that?
00:38 It's Lincoln.
00:39 - Yeah, Lincoln, you know of them?
00:40 - They aren't often in Germany, this kind of car.
00:42 - Not many people in America have seen it either.
00:44 Oh, hello.
00:45 - Hello.
00:46 Nice car.
00:47 - Thank you.
00:47 This is the latest Lincoln from America.
00:50 So this is like a road trip through Europe.
00:52 We're showing the design and the technology.
00:54 What are your first thoughts?
00:56 - It's really nice.
00:57 It's sporty.
00:58 - Yeah?
00:59 - It's nice.
01:00 - You like it?
01:00 Yeah, it is.
01:01 Can you see that there's no cut in the back?
01:02 It goes around the side.
01:03 That's actually quite an industry first for this car.
01:07 So have a look inside.
01:10 - Looks good inside.
01:11 - It does look good inside.
01:12 So where is the gearbox?
01:14 - Yes.
01:15 (laughing)
01:16 - Normally it's here.
01:17 There's no gearbox.
01:18 - Well, there is, but it's here.
01:20 - Ah, there it is.
01:21 - Obviously, because it's an automatic gearbox,
01:23 why have a gear stick?
01:24 So it's very efficient design.
01:26 What do you think of the materials in the car?
01:28 - Really leather, yeah?
01:29 - Yeah, real leather, yeah.
01:30 - It looks futuristic.
01:32 - It's real wood.
01:33 - Yeah, it is real wood.
01:34 This is genuine rosewood with matte finish.
01:37 So it looks very elegant.
01:38 - That's cool.
01:39 - I like this.
01:40 - Also, you have My Lincoln mobile app,
01:48 and that's synchronized with the VIN number of the car.
01:52 So when we go into the app,
01:53 it allows you to control settings on the car.
01:56 Imagine every morning you get up at 6.30
01:59 and you leave the house at seven and it's cold.
02:01 So we can set the car to start 10 minutes before you want to
02:05 and it gets warm.
02:06 It's clever, right?
02:07 - Yeah, it's clever.
02:08 - Is it parking system?
02:09 Yes.
02:10 - Yeah, it has a parking system.
02:11 If you activate the park assist,
02:13 it'll help you get in and out of a difficult parking spot.
02:17 Is that important in Hamburg too?
02:19 - And for me.
02:20 - So as you can see,
02:24 no matter what your personal requirements are
02:26 from a utility vehicle,
02:28 it does appear that the MKC has it all.
02:31 Whether it's the styling, the tech, or the luxury,
02:34 people really seem to love this American Abroad.
