2020 Lincoln Corsair - Review & Road Test

Welcome to the family baby-bro Lincoln Corsair. Formerly, the MKC, this compact two-row American luxury five-seater fits right in to the Lincoln family. Kelley Blue Book's Lyn Woodward walks you though the details.

Lincoln has been getting back into quality American luxury lately

[@venom5809]

LMAO, you might want to Google "2019 Lincoln Aviator", quality isn't what you are going to find in the news. 😂

[@mrsj1417]

All those Lincolns not-so-secretly shipped to a graveyard parking lot to be "fixed" after they've already been made? Right, quality is job #1.

[@Puzzoozoo]

Lincoln has always been at the quality end of American cars.

[@thetruth4529]

I applaud Lincoln for ditching that stupid *XYZ123* nomenclature everyone is doing nowadays and giving their vehicles proper names.

[@epbrown01]

It basically means that they've given up on the international market, but okay.

[@Geebvs]

@@epbrown01 Huh? Lincoln is rising strongly in China, also they are doing well in the Middle East, nowise the'yre giving up just on the US & Canada.

[@epbrown01]

M G The reason other companies use letters and numbers is easy translation into other markets (an X5 is X5 everywhere) and no mistranslation in other languages (cf Nova in Spanish).

[@Geebvs]

@@epbrown01 Don't think it is an actual reason, many car markers are using universal word-type names and it works. Furthermore haven't heard "Corsair" or "Aviator" and "Nautilus" have some negative meaning anywhere in the world outside US or China. They just gave up with horrible, empty letters. Cadillac should come back for regular names too - latest "CT4" or "XT6" are disgusting, like chinese battery names on AliExpress.

[@dennisscipio]

why does it matter?

[@thetravelgeek4154]

With every release, Lincoln really outdoes itself.

[@KLINGY94]

I don't even care for SUV's but I love what Lincoln has done developing these SUV's into something elegant

[@NileshR12]

This design of the Corsair still looks stunning years later

[@kangvp9512]

Honestly I've never seen a normal, cheap-ish car turned into a proper luxury car. Kudos to Lincoln.

[@omars.8073]

I do like that Lincoln has created a cohesive design language without making the SUVs look like matryoshka versions of one another. They each manage a refreshing individuality. Other companies are less successful in this regard. Mercedes sedans come to mind, for example. Can you really tell a C-Class from an E-Class when you're 50 feet away?

[@kz1000ps]

Nope. Audi among others suffers from this as well. Between the styling all being the same and the names being alphanumeric soups I've given up trying to remember what is what.

[@michaelmcmillon5933]

True, definitely thought I was behind a S-Class and it was a E.

[@thantnaingtun1181]

C-Class with Exclusive trim. I used to mistaken it with S class from afar

[@jober112]

That interior sound test was great. I was like, "OMFG that background noise is driving me...*door closes*...ahhhh"

[@TheSirUno]

Improvements could always be made, sure...but I’m really liking the direction that Lincoln has been headed lately. Nice review!

[@ryanharris6555]

I love it! I’m going to keep my MKC a few more years and this will be my next purchase!

J High haha dummy I will continue driving my fully paid off 2016 accord exl. And If I’m every riding a bike it’s my 2020 $5000 specialized enduro. What you fail to understand is it’s a bad investment to but a new car off the lot. And if I’m every saving money it’s going into more shares of my Apple stock

[@ivanlowjones]

@@jtothada06 So like most KZbin commentors who own a $5,000 mountain/city bike and are Apple shareholders, you can't really substantiate those claims in a public forum. Everyone in the KZbin comments section is a tech stocks millionaire (on paper at least).

These videos are so well done. Thanks

[@hemenkareamg6957]

This is what I have been saying this whole time. Lincoln is the best. Only one type of people can not be disagree with me. Those who have never drove one

[@76carmel]

I also think that the Cadillac XT4 is the right comparison to the Lincoln Corsair. The XT5 will compare against the Nautilus.

[@henryspindler1574]

I don’t know why she complained about the touchscreen in the corsair when the aviator has the exact same thing and she liked it.

[@henryspindler1574]

Just got a Ccorsair with every possible option for 53K. I would have preferred the six-cylinder engine that is in the Nautilis, but I just felt the Nautilis exterior and interior were dated compared to the Corsair. The light weight of the corsair makes it feel just as quick as a Nautilus , but the six-cylinder is much smoother.The smaller size also makes it more nimble and I don’t need the extra space.

[@wallybeegone]

Lincoln has definitely put its name back out there. But, the price is going to really deter people.

[@ALXMARTIN]

[@wizardguy14]

It's really excellent! I test drove the mocha cappuccino color with same color interior as this one. It drives Great shifts great! The seats are some of the best on the market and Yes the Revel audio system is simply Superb! I never hear Pink Floyd sound so good as well as Taylor Swift LOL the Salesman cranked the system to ear splitting levels and no distortion!! I would rate this an A!! Also the one i test drove was like 43000 and pretty loaded so good price!!

[@lenwoodcruze3594]

Lincoln and Cadillac are making some great looking vehicles.

[@kevinmalone7829]

Once you go Lincoln you never leave

[@Porsche996driver]

Nice option for a small SUV, I’d recommend folks to check it out. One of these days I’m going to see my car driving by in one of your videos lol. 🤓

[@Mc-Taboo]

The pricing will destroy this car unfortunately.

[@CalvinHikes]

You dont wanna pay 60 grand for a Ford?

[@76carmel]

Here's the thing... the $60k price tag would be the price of the Corsair if you load it up to the hills. And perhaps if there is a Black Label edition model as well. However, most Corsairs will be priced at anywhere from $45-52k on average.

[@EricFortuneJr.]

Most models you’ll see on dealer lots will be priced much less with probably less than 10% of buyers checking every box on the orders. This leaves the few people of whom money is not a question.

[@TinoMiller]

@@EricFortuneJr. and the few people would still consider another option ..

[@naveenthemachine]

Calvin Hikes for 60K you may as well buy the explorer ST. Bigger, handles way better, more powerful

Good Review !

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Howdy, great review as always! Ironically I got a XT5 add before the video started!😸😻😹

[@stevieg3078]

Thank you. I was hoping to hear about the Plug in version.

[@ojtamayosr]

We almost bought one. However, we just bought a 2020 XC60 T5 Momentum for the wife a couple of days ago, and she loves it, and so do I. For those of you that are considering other makes besides Volvo, the wife's previous vehicle was a Mercedes Benz (our third MB) and we shopped the Lexus NX, Acura RDX, Cadillac XT, the brand new Lincoln Corsair and Mercedes GLC. Volvo wasn't even on our radar when we were out shopping and we decided to stop at a Volvo dealer on our way to another brand. Needless to say, after test driving and closely examining the XC 60 both of us were sold. If you are like us that never considered Volvo before, do a yourself a big favor and check out what Volvo has to offer. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. And if matters, the current Volvo XC60 being sold in the U.S is made in Sweden, not China.

[@mariakolenich5192]

Beautiful !!!!!

[@dak85016]

Way too pricey with all the upgrades. Doubt they will sell many of the higher-end models.

[@ryanmack7781]

contrary to popular belief, the majority of navigator models were reserve or black label, hopefully that transfers to this

[@jvlixn]

Is it roomier than the mkc?

[@robertjones7565]

The closest Ford dealer has a couple in stock, other than those blacked out A pillars which seem sort of tacky it isn't bad looking at all.

[@zero2sixtyr35]

Hi Lyn! You’re spirited and an energetic drive!! Corny... I know lol

[@barrygoldwasser5449]

Lol! Suck up, a bit? Micah rules. I don't like her at all. But, that's me

[@heystarfish100]

Try and shop for a similar fully equipped X3. Hard to find a loaded model as compared to the Corsair. The sticker price comparison is nothing but a starting point for negotiation. Try and buy one over the other and see what the out the door price really is. The Lincoln tops the BMW in so many ways.

[@999Mrwahab]

Considering the german competitors cost almost $20K more where i live this is a steal!

[@cw4623]

"I'd like to see the touchscreen more integrated." -- That's just you, my dear. The rest of us are fine with it. It's practical and in your sight-line.

[@jaxsonzatech7527]

Lincoln has been so amazing my mom wants to get a aviator soon she currently has a Land Rover discovery sport and hates it she test drove it and loved it so we’re gonna drive a hour sometike soon to test drive this one because it’s rebate down to 49k

[@cvgashenoud]

Very good

[@jalmonte91]

Lincoln did a good job with this one, attractive starting price, but they should’ve priced this like the Acura RDX, maxed out around $46k. This is why Lincoln will never advance

[@theyadmire511]

That’s a huge problem with Lincoln and Cadillac they rely to much on discounts.

[@kyukyoku_]

Theyadmire It’s “rely”, you dummy.

[@Stressless2023]

The Acura RDX starts at close to $38k where this starts at $35k, and I don't think Lincoln wants to be a small niche player like Acura currently is. The interior of this is arguably more upscale-looking than Acura's, and this car offers a decent amount more tech features also. Saying Lincoln will never advance is silly since sales of all their newest offerings aside from the Continental have been strong if you follow their year-over-year data. The $60k MSRP for a fully loaded model compares to nearly everything this car competes with fully equipped. Most buyers in this segment will likely lease/buy the mid level trims, so harping on the price isn't a solid argument given that the take-rate will likely be less than 15% (and I can't imagine Lincoln doesn't anticipate this as well). This ultimately is a very nice car, especially for an underdog luxury brand like Lincoln.

[@theyadmire511]

Thanks I didn’t realize silly me 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴 You really pressed over a misspelled word. You should use your time to do something more productive.

[@theyadmire511]

SuchANiceGirl22 We all know it’s a great car, but Lincoln and Cadillac price their cars high and then rely on discounts to sell them.

[@Acc0rd79]

I'm so glad Lincoln got away from the letter crap! Acura needs to learn from them and go back to their legit names before that company completely tanks. I miss Acura of the 90s.

[@theyadmire511]

Why would Acura do that, the RDX and MDX are Acura’s best models with the MDX being the longest run Acura nameplate for 20 yrs and they are household names in the segment they compete in.

[@TalismanPHX]

Lincoln's value proposition is under 45K. Over that amount, Benz & Audi reign. Personally, I love the pseudo Range Rover looks of the Lincoln SUVs, Corsair included. 60K is excessive, I'd prefer a Q5 for that amount. Now, Genesis is adding SUV models which complicate things. Lincoln resale values are abysmal even for luxury crossovers.... I'd lease. Great review Lyn!

[@Springbok314]

Great name, recalling the epic WW2 bird. They should call the bigger version the Dauntless.

[@thisis_jay.]

On road price?

[@Holabella]

@Mr Floorstock would you repurchase this car??

[@logancarter3919]

I figured Nautilus would compete more with the likes of the X3 and Corsair would compete with X1- that’s not the case?

[@PANOSDX1968]

I totally agree with u. I wrote a similar comment before I read yours.

[@hamidmghazi]

No. Nautilus is lexus rx 350 size

[@76carmel]

Nautilus would compare to the BMW X5.

[@joseluislagosr]

I own the 2020 Corsair Reserve with every possible option, The MSRP is $62, 800 !!!! - With the 2.3 engine (295 hp not 280) there is a huge difference in acceleration between the "Conserve" and "Excite driving mode. Got a huge discount from dealer. Like the Corsair much more than an Audi Q5.

[@Shiloh_II]

I love it. You didn't mention the stupid panoramic roof once. Shows how little value it provides. I'll only consider purchasing the Standard model Corsair to avoid getting this stupid glass roof. I'd rather have the option to obtain a traditional sunroof. But no, Lincoln went full on with the panoramic roof, a basic sunroof be damned. That means no Reserve model for me. I hope in future years and w/ future models, Lincoln reconsiders and makes a sunroof standard and panoramic roof optional. Rocks for brains in Lincoln marketing.

[@NileshR12]

The 2.3L engine produces 295 HP & 310 lb-ft of torque, not 280 HP

Why they don’t have a Northern America Model option that would include these features like heated Steering Wheel and Back seats. You know, features you can get on a KIA Forte’?? Forte’ even can be had with Cooled Seats. and REAL COOLED Seats.

[@chadliegarrett7880]

gene978 you can get a heated wheel and back seat. I drove one and knew almost immediately it was the car I wanted. Unbelievably quiet and smooth riding. Have one on order, $47K and pretty loaded.

Why are you stuck on the price of the fully loaded model when these START at $35k? Most people will probably lease/buy the mid-level trims anyway. Almost everything this competes with can be optioned up to $60k too.
