Objective value for the money seems about right for a compact luxury crossover, and orders placed now should arrive in early 2023. Pricing for the 2023 Lincoln Corsair starts at $39,885 including a $1,195 freight charge, while the plug-in hybrid Grand Touring model starts at a substantially higher $54,580.
LINCOLN CROSSOVER 2023 UPDATE
There’s another big tech update going on inside the Corsair: The wireless charging pad is now located in a place where humans can actually reach it. The remaining switch bank on the floating console actually looks like an old radio, with buttons and a knob to control stereo volume accented by a lovely metallic bezel. While automatic climate control is largely a set-and-forget proposition, it would’ve been nice to have redundant physical controls.
It only works on mapped highways and won’t be a cheap option, but nothing else in the segment offers hands-free Level 2 ADAS.Īlso on offer is a massive 13.2-inch infotainment screen, although climate controls are now hidden in the touchscreen.
LINCOLN CROSSOVER 2023 DRIVER
See, the 2023 Corsair gets Lincoln ActiveGlide 1.2, a rebranded version of Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free Level 2 advanced driver assistance system. Instead of performance, Lincoln now seems to be focusing on advanced driver assistance systems. While choices of a 250-horsepower two-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and a 266-horsepower plug-in hybrid are quite sufficient for the segment, the 295-horsepower range-topper was sneakily potent. The optional zesty 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine has been axed, which is rather unfortunate. If anything, there’s a reason for Lincoln’s smallest crossover to wear a bit of a long face. While the new grille carries a bit of mid-aughts Audi single-frame about it, it largely just looks like a long face. It’s like someone forgot to hold shift when pasting the Lincoln grille onto the Corsair’s front fascia, resulting in a rather tall mouthpiece with some obvious fake-grille portions. When I first saw the 2023 Lincoln Corsair, my reaction was a simple “Oh.” No bemusement, no pondering, just a simple acknowledgment of what Lincoln has actually done.
