As Edmunds Inside Line reports, Peter Horbury, Ford's Head of Design for the Americas, said that the design of future Lincoln vehicles will be defined by seven styling cues, and the MKR Concept uses all of them.

These design elements are:

1. clean and uncluttered body surfaces
2. a powerful, dynamic beltline
3. a chamfered surface running parallel to the beltline
4. a twin-port "bow-wave" front grille inspired by the 1941 Continental Cabriolet
5. thin, horizontal headlamps
6. a substantial C-pillar that smoothly transitions into the roof
7. a pronounced roof rail
