Overview

The Lincoln Corsair made its debut on April 17, 2019 at the New York Auto Show and shares its underpinnings with the fourth generation Ford Escape. The Corsair joined the Lincoln Nautilus (previously the Lincoln MKX), Lincoln Aviator, Lincoln Continental, and Lincoln Navigator in the Lincoln model line. [7] The name "Corsair" has previously been used on several other Ford Motor Company products including the Edsel Corsair and the British Ford Corsair.

The Corsair went on sale in the fall of 2019 with Standard and Reserve trims, with the exclusively plug-in hybrid Grand Touring trim arriving later in 2020. Chinese deliveries began in May 2020. [8]

The Corsair interior features a standard 8-inch display flanked by a speedometer and tachometer in the instrument cluster and 8-inch infotainment screen running Lincoln Sync 3 software. The dashboard is defined by an integrated air vent design that spans the width of the dashboard. The computer controlled transmission is controlled using buttons mounted under the vents. Below this sits a panel housing the HVAC and media controls. A driver assistance suite branded as "Co-Pilot360" comes standard, and includes blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking and lane keep assist. [9]

Optional upgrades include a 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster with integrated navigation, 24-way "Perfect Position" power seats, a 14-speaker Revel sound system and a heads-up display. An optional driver aid package called "Co-Pilot360 Plus", which includes a adaptive cruise control, an automatic parking system, and a 360-degree view camera is also offered.

Powertrain

The Corsair comes with three engine options. The base engine is a 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder making 250 hp (186 kW; 253 PS) and 275 lb⋅ft (373 N⋅m; 38.0 kg⋅m) of torque and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with either front or all-wheel drive. The upgrade engine option is a 2.3 L turbocharged 4-cylinder making 295 hp (220 kW; 299 PS) and 310 lb⋅ft (420 N⋅m; 42.9 kg⋅m) of torque, paired with the same transmission and is only available with all-wheel drive.

The final powertrain is a gasoline-electric plug-in hybrid consisting of a 2.5 L 4-cylinder in Atkinson cycle making 163 hp (122 kW; 165 PS) and 155 lb⋅ft (210 N⋅m; 21.4 kg⋅m) of torque, a 96 kW (129 hp; 131 PS) front motor, and a 50 kW (67 hp; 68 PS) rear motor. [10] The gasoline engine and front motor power the front wheels through a planetary gearset eCVT transmission, while the rear motor independently drives the rear wheels thus providing all-wheel drive (eAWD). Total system is 266 hp (198 kW; 270 PS) and the 14.4 kWh Li-ion battery provides 28 mi (45 km) of all-electric range on the EPA test cycle.

2022 facelift

On September 12, 2022, a refreshed design of the Corsair was revealed for the North American market for the 2023 model year. Changes include updated exterior styling with a new larger grille and LED daytime running lights, new exterior colors. The interior receives a larger 13.2-inch touchscreen with Sync 4 software where the HVAC controls now reside, the 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster is now standard, and new upholstery choices are available. It is available with Lincoln's ActiveGlide hands-free advanced highway driving assistance system. The 2.3 L engine option was dropped, while the standard 2.0 L engine and plug-in hybrid remain. [11] The base Standard trim has been renamed to Premiere, while the Reserve and exclusively plug-in hybrid Grand Touring trims remain. The Chinese-market facelift features unique front and rear fascias. [12]

Safety

The Corsair was an IIHS Top Safety Pick for its first 3 years of production.
