![]() 2023 Lincoln Corsair Tested: Tweaked, Still Tame.At our test track, the PHEV model managed a 7.0-second zero-to-60-mph time but we weren't impressed with the powertrain's unrefined sounds. The plug-in-hybrid model pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and all-wheel drive. Key rivals such as the Q5 and the Porsche Macan are quicker and more satisfying to drive, though. In our testing, an all-wheel drive Corsair with the turbo-four managed a 60-mph run in 6.1 seconds. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard, as is front-wheel drive all-wheel drive will cost you extra. Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceĪ 250-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder is the entry-level engine for the Corsair and comes on the Standard and Reserve trim. From there, we'd exercise caution, as the Corsair's option packages carry big price tags. For the large step up in price, Lincoln provides several must-have items such as 19-inch wheels, a hands-free power liftgate, fog lamps, a 14-speaker Revel stereo system, in-dash navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, a power-adjustable steering column, genuine wood interior trim, and heated front seats covered in Bridge of Weir leather with 10-way power adjustability and memory settings for the driver. The more powerful turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine has been dropped from the lineup, leaving the 250-hp turbo 2.0-liter and the 266-hp 2.5-liter plug-in hybrid as the two available powertrains. Two new interior themes have been added-Smoked Truffle (sounds delicious) and Eternal Red (sounds devilish)-each with its own set of unique trims and upholsteries. The center console has been reworked, as has the panel where the Corsair’s climate controls are located. The Corsair’s cabin also sees a handful of improvements, starting with a larger 13.2-inch infotainment screen and a newly standard 12.3-inch digital gauge display. The plug-in hybrid Grand Touring model gets fresh satin metallic exterior trim with blue accents to indicate its place atop the Corsair hierarchy. Lincoln’s smallest SUV offering gets a light facelift for 2023 that includes a redesigned grille and exterior lighting elements as well as new wheel designs. 13 Lincoln Corsair STARTING AT: $39,885 What's New for 2023?
