“I use my Corsair Grand Touring to drive around locally. I compared my electric [Name] and it went up $12, plus spent $30 on gas so $42 the past month. For my F150 truck which takes 93 octane gas, I've been spending $240 to $320 a month on gas. I think I made an excellent purchase!”
2023 Lincoln Corsair: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2023 Lincoln Corsair
1st generation (2020-2026), mid-cycle refresh year.
Lincoln positions the Corsair as a small luxury SUV built around quiet, easy travel rather than sporty handling. Its core appeal is a calm cabin, flexible two-row space, and upscale features in a size that feels easier to live with than a larger SUV. Official Lincoln messaging emphasizes a sanctuary-like interior, smooth ride, and user-friendly technology, so the Corsair’s role is as an upscale everyday commuter and small-family SUV with a relaxed character.
The Standard trim serves as the well-equipped entry point, with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, large digital displays, a sliding second row, and a power liftgate. Reserve adds leather-trimmed heated front seats, richer cabin lighting, and jeweled LED headlamps. Grand Touring pairs a plug-in-hybrid system with standard AWD, adaptive suspension, a panoramic roof, and extra electric-driving modes.
