OREANDA-NEWS. June 05, 2015. Lincoln retail sales increased 10 percent in May, making it the luxury brand’s best May in eight years.

Lincoln MKC sales totaled 2,289 vehicles and Lincoln Navigator sales increased 50 percent versus last year.

“I am very pleased with Lincoln’s performance this month,” said U.S. Sales Analyst Erich Merkle.  “The MKC and Navigator continue to do quite well in the marketplace.”

Merkle said the arrival of the Lincoln MKX later in the summer will be important.

“In order to grow the brand, Lincoln has to continue to add new products to its portfolio,” he said.  “I’m really looking forward to the launch of the all-new MKX.”
