2022 Lincoln Corsair: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2022 Lincoln Corsair is an equipment reshuffle: park assist and several upper-trim amenities became optional rather than standard. Otherwise, this is a quiet carryover and the final version before the 2023 styling and technology refresh.
About the 2022 Lincoln Corsair
1st generation (2020-present), 2022 is the third model year and the final pre-refresh year before the 2023 styling and tech update.
Lincoln positions the Corsair as a small luxury SUV built around a calm, quiet cabin rather than an aggressively sporty personality. The brand emphasizes its whisper-quiet ride, sound-dampening work, easy-to-use tech, sliding second row, and upscale materials, while still giving it strong everyday power. In simple terms, it is Lincoln’s compact two-row SUV for people who want a premium feel and relaxed daily comfort without moving up to the larger Aviator or Navigator.
The 2022 Corsair is a compact luxury SUV focused on quiet comfort and easy daily driving. The base model has a 250-hp turbo engine and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while Reserve adds leather, navigation, and a 12.3-inch digital driver display. Grand Touring is the plug-in hybrid, pairing 266 combined horsepower with standard AWD and electric-driving modes.
