The compact yet majestic Lincoln Corsair fuses the essence of luxury and design, all starting at a reasonable price point of $51,485. This vehicle presents a lavish selection of finishes, ideal for those looking to indulge in extravagance on their next vacation drive. Our recent foray into the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring III variant left an indelible impression.
Come 2024, the Corsair will be equipped with the advanced BlueCruise hands-free system from Lincoln, now with an extended four-year membership, surpassing the initial two-year offer. Furthermore, the entry-level edition has been aptly renamed to Premiere.
Cocooned inside the Corsair is where elegance meets serenity, with plush leather seating and a resourceful app that gives you smartphone control over features such as car locking and unlocking. The palette for interior design spans four expressive themes like Smoked Truffle and Eternal Red. Generously, the cabin offers 27.6/57.6 cubic feet of cargo volume, providing substantial space for your belongings.
A 13.2-inch touchscreen display stands as the centerpiece of the dashboard, boasting user-friendly operations and seamless integration with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard amenities. The Reserve version introduces an expansive 14-speaker array complemented by Sirius XM radio.
The heart of the Corsair is a robust 250 horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard front-wheel drive configuration. Opt for the plug-in hybrid model and you’ll find a blend of a 2.5-liter engine and an electric motor, laying the power down through an all-wheel drive system.
Each Corsair model is outfitted with a suite of driver assistance features, with the choice to enhance your driving capability with Lincoln’s BlueCruise for truly hands-free navigation, which we found quite pleasurable while cruising the scenic stretches of the California coastline.
Embarking in the Corsair is not merely about transport; it’s a foray into sublime motoring enjoyment, further accentuated by options like the panoramic roof. To unearth more about this poised SUV.
