Overview

Written by automotive expert Alex Nishimoto

1/30/2023

The Lincoln Corsair is the American luxury brand's small SUV, slotting below the midsize Nautilus and bigger three-row Aviator. It's one of those SUVs that doesn't really stand out in any one way, but it's good enough that you wouldn't talk a friend out of buying one. And things are looking a bit brighter for the 2023 Corsair thanks to a comprehensive round of upgrades to make it a more appealing option.

You can spot this year's Corsair by its exterior face-lift that includes a larger front grille and redesigned headlights. The entry-level model also gets a significant tech injection, with a new standard digital instrument panel and a larger 13.1-inch central touchscreen inherited from the Aviator.

Also trickling down from the Aviator is Lincoln's ActiveGlide advanced driving assistance system. Essentially just Lincoln's name for parent company Ford's Super Cruise, ActiveGlide allows for limited hands-free driving on the highway. That feature is available as part of a pricey optional package. Other changes include a new optional cabin filtration system, standard adaptive cruise control across the board, and the discontinuation of the available 2.3-liter turbocharged engine. The top-trim Grand Touring is still offered exclusively as a plug-in hybrid with 266 horsepower and a 28-mile all-electric driving range.

The Corsair competes with other compact luxury SUVs, including the Acura RDX, Cadillac XT4, Lexus NX, Genesis GV70 and others. We like the Corsair for its responsive driving experience, generous feature content and surprisingly opulent interior. It's not perfect, but the Corsair is definitely worth a look if you're in the market for an upscale small crossover.

2023 Lincoln Corsair trim level differences

The 2023 Lincoln Corsair is available in three trim levels: Standard, Reserve and Grand Touring. The first two models are motivated by a 250-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the Grand Touring model comes exclusively as a plug-in hybrid. Feature highlights include: Compare the 2023 Lincoln Corsair trim levels in-depth.

Which Corsair trim does Edmunds recommend?

For the best blend of luxury and value, we recommend the midlevel Reserve trim. That model gets you 19-inch alloy wheels, genuine leather seats, a power tilt steering wheel and more. All Corsair models now come standard with the Co-Pilot360 suite of advanced safety features, which includes adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance.

What's not to love? The comfort, the features, the color and the ride...all fantastic! The leather interior is beautiful and the feel of the leather is even more wonderful than we imagined. We bought the Reserve model so there are more added features. We have taken two roadtrips averaging 30 to 31 MPG with the 2.0 liter engine. Engine, transmission and suspension are all great. We …

Bought the 2023 AWD Reserve loaded (Collection III package) and this was my first Lincoln. This may share a base platform with the Escape but any comparison ends there. The exterior looks fantastic and the interior is gorgeous. Excellent fit, finish, and ride quality with ample acceleration from the 2.0.

The exterior ceramic pearl color is eye catching, and doesn't stop there. The roof profile adds class and there is plenty of room in the back seat for adults.

Corsair Grand Touring PHEV RULES Class (G2)

Dr. W, 02/06/2022

2022 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid EVT)

OMG! So this is my 3rd FoMoCo hybrid product. First was a 2017 Fusion Hybrid Titanium. Then 2019 Lincoln MKZ Reserve Hybrid II, and now this one. I know the powertrain system well. The other two cars were perfect. I only traded the MKZ because of a lemon law claim with a dealer that couldnt repair. Yes I do miss some things- like an ok option to confirm choices on both sides of the … steering wheel. Also, the engine cover that quiets, quells, or covers up some of the buzz from the ICE engine. I also miss the 120v household style outlet in the backseat. This one gives all the modern stuff, but I'd rather have the plug (solution is to buy a car inverter for those times). I love the interior. I had to figure out how to darken the lighting, as its kind of spaceship and space age flight theme. I love the wood in the dash. The 'laser' lights in the interior lights are wonderful, but can be too bright at night. I love the 24 way massaging seats, including the thigh support buttons. The heated seats are upgraded too, as they are far warmer and expansive. No other SUV or plug-in hybrid offered them from what I remember. Even the Q5 didnt, but its optioned the same cost $8k more than my G2. The exterior is great too. I tinted the windows AND the privacy glass. In Elite Blue Metallic, it is lighter than i thought, but the contrast with the tint is amazing and I always walk up proud of the color choice. My other vehicles are usually dark and basic, so this marks a change. I've heard that water runs down the cabin- likely due to the slots for the cargo hatch hinges. I'll just get it handwashed. Not much difference versus $20 for the machine that can scrap and scratch paint. I havent tried the deicing nozzle washers yet and other new external features. I do like having the foot-activated hatch, but I've seen it only go halfway up on its own. Im 1300 miles in, having ordered it, and I'm fairly impressed. Not only do the other luxuries not offer the massaging seats, the gas mileage is amazing too. I know the 78-e rating, but Im not able to charge up the 12v while at work, so to maintain 58 mpge during the break-in period, I'm satisfied. I expected it to go up and will update the review at 10k miles. Im now almost at 20k miles. I hate if I start and throw it into drive too quickly, the check engine light comes on lol. If i leave the charge door open, the light comes on. Really, that's about the best I can do. I will get different and better tires when I get to 40k miles. The wireless charger works well. The adaptive cruise and lane centering work well. Massaging seats AMAZING!! BIG UPDATE!!! 4/6/23 945 pm after driving over ten hours from GA to IL, I pulled into my mom's drive. 4/7/23 115 pm after sitting overnight, i go to the post office. One minute later, I notice the check engine light snuck on. The engine is now warming. 5 minutes later, I pull up at the post office after that short drive. The car tells me the engine is too warm. I let the car sit. 30 minutes later, I pull off, only to pull over again after about 2 minutes. Call around. Find a dealer. Take it there the next morning. The idiot tech said I broke it in a crash. lol. Not so. but its my fault. Will need a new battery for $15k, with a 2-3 month wait time. NOPE!! Drive back to family home. Found another dealer. Properly diagnosed the coolant hose leaked. Not sure why or how. But it was not my impact. Yet I paid for EVERYTHING out of pocket once Lincoln decided at day 44 I was on the hook. I got BBB involved. Paid $2537 on everything. experience cut my side income. made things tight. 6/9 I get the car back. Engine is running warm at times in EV mode, but its not so bad. 9/5 I total the car getting off the exit. I feel like 26 air bags deployed!!! i walked away. WIll be getting a 2021 to replace it. Yes, I'm eager to see it, as many said the 21 GT had better quality than the '22. I do not regret a MOMENT of time in this car. Why else would I scourer the entire US using autotrader to find the one I wanted, the color I wanted, with an extra feature or two to replace the factory ordered Corsair that replaced my brand new MKZ hybrid that had one dumb mechanical issue with the cruise??? I'm must concerned that hose may break again. STILL five stars!! honda and toyota have isolated things like this in a few thousand cars a year too. By the way, EVERY solitary moment in that car has been amazing!!! Why else would i prefer it over less expensive, used luxury PHEVs that cost $30k vs 40k???
