The momentum is driven by the Lincoln MKC, Lincoln MKZ and the Lincoln MKX.
Lincoln is also placing an increasing emphasis on client-centered experiences like its exclusive Pickup and Delivery, which continues to gain in popularity, according to The Lincoln Motor Company.
“For Lincoln, it’s about providing quality vehicles and exemplary service,” says Kumar Galhotra, president, The Lincoln Motor Company. “This tells us we’re moving in the right direction.”
Lincoln’s exclusive Pickup and Delivery service is now included with all 2017 vehicles. The program returns to Lincoln clients one of their most valued resources – time.
A Lincoln Service Valet picks up a client’s vehicle for any service need from any location, provides the client with a complimentary Lincoln loaner vehicle, and returns the freshly washed vehicle to the client once the service is complete.
The program has proven to be overwhelmingly successful, launching in September with more than 15,000 rides completed by year-end. It is on track to complete more than 50,000 rides by the end of 2017.
Enhanced client experiences have always been critical to Lincoln’s growth. Lincoln Black Label, for example, provides the ultimate expression of Lincoln style and substance, offering clients personal service and a host of exclusive membership privileges.
Lincoln sales are up 6 percent this year, outpacing a luxury segment that is up 2 percent, according to Lincoln and industry reported sales data.
