The Lincoln Corsair is a compact luxurycrossover marketed and sold by the Lincoln brand of Ford Motor Company since the 2020 model year. It replaced the MKC. Since 2020, the Corsair has been the best-selling vehicle for the Lincoln brand.[6]
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 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder making 250hp (186kW; 253PS) and 275lb⋅ft (373N⋅m; 38.0kg⋅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 2.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder making 295hp (220kW; 299PS) and 310lb⋅ft (420N⋅m; 42.9kg⋅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 2.5L 4-cylinder in Atkinson cycle making 163hp (122kW; 165PS) and 155lb⋅ft (210N⋅m; 21.4kg⋅m) of torque, a 96kW (129hp; 131PS) front motor, and a 50kW (67hp; 68PS) 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 266hp (198kW; 270PS) and the 14.4kWh Li-ion battery provides 28mi (45km) of all-electric range on the EPA test cycle.
