The Corsair’s interior is very classy, and you can make it even more so with Lincoln’s seats, which can be adjusted in any way you want. BlueCruise also has a hands-free drive option, but it costs money. The base engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 250 horsepower, which is enough power. The top trim level is the only one with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain with 266 horsepower. The hybrid’s performance and efficiency don’t support its high price, which is a shame. The smallest Lincoln lives up to the brand’s promise of luxurious comfort, but the Corsair’s driving performance could be better than its European rivals. There are a lot of cars to choose from if you want to be more active behind the wheel. What's New? The Corsair doesn’t change much in 2025. The Jet look option used to be available only on the two base trims, but now it’s also available on the Grand Touring. This gives the top model 20-inch wheels and black outer accents. It will look the same with Light Smoked Truffle, Harbor Gray, or Crystal White paint. Pros and Cons Pros Technologies for hands-free driving. A calm and peaceful ride. PHEV is available and has a powerful engine. Cons The navigation system might work better with a faster CPU. There is firm padding in the back seat. Some interior items that look like they won’t cost much. Engine, Transmission, and Performance The 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 250 horsepower is the base engine offered in the Corsair’s Premiere and Reserve trim levels. All-wheel drive costs more, but front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission with eight speeds are normal. But it’s faster and more fun to drive than big rivals like the Porsche Macan and the Audi Q5. The plug-in hybrid car has an electric motor, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and all-wheel drive. It also has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The regular engine works better than the plug-in, and we didn’t like how loud the gas-electric drivetrain was. Safety Lincoln calls the set of driver-assistance tools that come with all of their cars “Co-Pilot360.” You can get high-tech features like the BlueCruise hands-free driving system, but you have to pay extra for the Co-Pilot360 2.1 Drive system. Some important safety features are Normal automatic emergency stopping when a pedestrian is detected. Normal lane exit warning with help to stay in your lane. There is adaptive speed control with a hands-free mode. Internal and External Cargo Capacity The Corsair and Lincoln’s other SUVs, like the Navigator, Nautilus, and Aviator, all have nice interiors. There are many features on it, and the leather seats are very nice. The price goes up a lot when you add things like head-up displays, power-adjustable seats with 24 positions, programmable ambient lighting, and an app that lets you open, lock, and start the car with your phone. You can choose from two different indoor themes: There are many warm-toned trims and upholstery choices in Smoked Truffle that make Corsair’s cabin look better. Eternal Red, on the other hand, has a classic look with its deep red leather and bright metal trim. It’s very big inside the Corsair. We were able to fit eight carry-on bags behind the back seats, one more than the X3. You can fit a total of 21 cases when you drop the rear seatbacks. Fuel Economy and Actual MPG The front-wheel drive car with the turbo four gets 22 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, according to the EPA. Choosing all-wheel drive lowers gas mileage by one mpg in the city and two mpg on the highway. We tried a car with all-wheel drive and found that it got 30 mpg on our highway fuel-economy route going 75 mph. The EPA says that the plug-in hybrid type gets 34 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. During our tests, we found that it got 24 mpg. Infotainment and Connectivity A 12.3-inch digital gauge panel and a 13.2-inch touchscreen with Lincoln’s Sync 4 entertainment system come as standard. The steering wheel has handy little joysticks that keep the user from having to reach for the screen too often. The interface is also easy to use. All models come with navigation built into the dash, as well as connections for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Your Corsair’s nine-speaker sound system can become a 14-speaker Revel setup if you choose the Reserve model. You can also get real-time traffic and weather updates from SiriusXM satellite radio. Range, Charging, and Battery Life The all-wheel-drive Corsair with the turbo four reached 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, while the PHEV model took 7.0 seconds. Price and How to Choose The Reserve finish is where it works best. Lincoln adds 19-inch wheels, a hands-free power liftgate, fog lights, a 14-speaker Revel stereo system, in-dash navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, a power-adjustable steering column, real wood interior trim, and heated front seats covered in Bridge of Weir leather that can be adjusted in 10 ways and remember your preferences for the driver. We would be careful with the Corsair because its choice packages are very expensive.
