2022 Lincoln Corsair | Learn everything about what this luxury crossover has to offer

I'm a pretty big fan of the Corsair. It's small, has great available technology and packs a punch under the hood. While power enthusiasts will enjoy the optional 2.3L Turbo, more reserved drivers will appreciate the optional Grand Touring plugin hybrid the Corsair has to offer.
In this video I dive in deep. You're going to learn everything about the 2022 Corsair from 1st and 2nd row spacing to how to connect your phone to the Sync3 media screen! Don't worry, the short version is coming soon!

I agree with most of comments, awesome video as just bought a 2022 Corsair, with 10K and looks brand new. Love it, I may upgrade to the Touring version in couple of years as the technology improves. Thank for taking your time throughout the video. I may have to watch specific parts again. Lots to capture, but worth the time.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thank you and congrats on the new ride! You might be looking at some new hybrid/EV options if you're holding off for a few years before upgrading. Glad you found the video helpful

I honestly enjoyed watching the depth of information you offered. I love the Corsair too for its size and features. I can't wait to get one. I do have to tease you tho. I couldn't help but try to figure out how many times you said 'amazing'. 😁 Great video overall and will probably look for it again when I do get my car. You eluded to an all electric Lincoln?? I can't wait to see it. But for my road trip goals the grand touring is going to be my choice! Thanks Steve

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks! And no worries about the teasing.. there's always one word I repeat in my videos 🤷‍♂ I'm excited to see what's unveiled for North America - should be sometime in the next few months. They brought the new Zephyr to the Chinese market so there's a possibility for an EV sedan but I'm thinking it'll probably be an EV the size of the Mustang Mach-E for the Lincoln brand

[@BeanCounter-jc1ll]

Great in depth walk thru of Corsair by a passionate knowledgeable presenter - thanks! I purchased the 2.0 L Reserve. Still trying to figure out how to get all the doors to lock when car is put in drive & need to get used to the hesitation when car is put in drive but overall pleased. Very comfortable ride once it gets going. Previously had an MKC and miss the hands free liftgate

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks, appreciate that! Autolock (if your Corsair is equipped with it) should automatically happen when all of the following happen: 1. All doors are closed 2. Ignition is on 3. You're in drive 4. Your vehicle reaches a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h) Glad you're enjoying the ride!

[@BeanCounter-jc1ll]

@@CarsWithSteve Thanks, Steve. In Settings/Vehicle/Locks there appears to only be the option AutoUnlock which gives the option to unlock either all doors or just the driver's door. There is no Autolock option in that setting.

[@BeanCounter-jc1ll]

My bad...Vehicle is indeed equipped with AutoLock. It does engage once I hit 12 KM/HR. With the radio & climate on, I never heard it engage. So all good now.

[@CarsWithSteve]

@@BeanCounter-jc1ll Yes, autolock doesn't have its own setting. Glad you had it figured out!

Forgot, still can’t get my welcome Lincoln emblem to light up when I unlock the doors. Have followed instructions three times no luck. Just got the Corsair month ago, my 2019 mkc that I traded in always showed welcome lights on the side/bottom of it. Frustrating. I loved seeing my welcome Lincoln lights come on on the street or even in my garage.

[@ErikWeibust]

Your videos are great! This video was the deciding factor of me just buying a 2022 Corsair. Thanks!! One question I don't think you covered.... Setting up homelink is not straightforward. Any tips?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks Erik, good to know the video helped you figure out that it was the right choice! I haven't had the chance to try out the homelink system myself but here's a rundown. Program Garage Door Opener to Opener Motor 1. Press the learn button on the garage door opener motor 2. Within 30 seconds, return to your vehicle and press and hold one of the three HomeLink function buttons you want to program for two seconds, then release. You might need to repeat the process 2 - 3 times Program Garage Door Opener to Transmitter 1. With your vehicle parked, switch your vehicle into accessory mode (don't press the brake but press the start/stop button) 2. Press and release one of the three HomeLink buttons on the Corsair 3. Hold your hand-held garage door transmitter 1-3 inches away from the HomeLink button you want to program 4. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button you want to program while watching the indicator light on HomeLink. Continue to hold the hand-held button until the HomeLink indicator light flashes rapidly or is continuously on 5. Press and hold the HomeLink button you programmed for two seconds, then release. You may need to do this twice to activate the door

Hi Steve! Wish I would have seen this before I made my initial comment, but I see that you also did a full review of the 2020. Since you've had the opportunity to see the changes over 3 years, what are your favorite improvements?🧐

[@CarsWithSteve]

So many videos haha! The initial change from the MKC to Corsair was great and then the introduction of the Grand Touring in 2021 got me excited for the future of the Corsair lineup. It was great that Lincoln brought the option for factory towing into the 2021 which wasn't available in the launch of the 2020 model

[@soidus]

I got the top trim 2022 Corsair here in the GCC. Yet I'm surprised how much it lacks compared to the one Steve reviewed here. 😱 I'm so furious right now!! 😤 🤬

[@CarsWithSteve]

GCC? Would that put you somewhere in Saudi Arabia or UAE? What's the full build you have on your Corsair? Reserve 1, 2 (200a/201a?)

[@soidus]

@@CarsWithSteve Yes, GCC includes both UAE and KSA. I'm from the UAE by the way. 🙂 Right now, it just says "Reserve" in the latest spec sheet, without numbers (as per spec sheet they only have 2 trims for 2022). And the dealership did tell me it's the top trim. Besides, the SAP reservation image they sent me says COR422 and Reserve II.

I have watched the Aviator and Ford Edge videos, but it does not work for the 2022 Corsair 2.0 engine. Any help? thanks!

[@CarsWithSteve]

The code should be in the owner's manual on a little card the size of a credit card. If it's not there you'll have to contact a Lincoln dealer or Lincoln Canada/USA to get it

[@heavilymeditated2022]

I was deadset on ordering a Corsair this year, but when I learned about the refresh for 2024 (Grand Touring is what I'm looking at), decided to wait. During this time, I've read a lot of reviews and watched the videos. I've also joined Lincoln'sFB page. I've read about Corsair owners with electronic issues that dealers don't know how to fix and the car ends up back at the service dept time and again, or are left there for weeks at a time. I see the Corsair showing up on the 'Worst SUVS of 2022' lists (and so forth). Consumer Reports says "We expect the 2022 Corsair will be much less reliable than the average new car." And the 2022 currently has 1 recall in place. With all that said, I've read reports that most Corsair owners would buy another despite the issues they've had. Nonetheless... I'm rethinking Lincoln. I know you love your Lincolns, but honestly, I need reliability. I live in the middle of the desert. I don't want to end up with my car dying and being stuck alone out there hundreds of miles from anywhere. So to Steve and other Corsair owners, please tell me your thoughts. I really was (am) hooked on her..but is she worth the risk?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Refresh should hopefully bring the Sync4 media screen so if you're not in a rush to buy it could make sense to wait for the newer tech. I know a number of folks who have been driving their Corsair for 2+ years without issue. It all comes down to a numbers game - how many vehicles have issues compared to number of units sold. It's the same with different manufacturers where issues may be found after the vehicle is shipped and customers start to notice things happen. Benefit of Lincoln is you have the 6 year 110,000 km (70,000 miles) roadside assistance and powertrain warranty that would cover you if issues do come up

[@chrisholland]

Oh hey, it's me! Lincoln bought my '20 Corsair back because it had electrical problems they never could resolve. Phantom windshield wipers, seats that would move themselves while driving, center screen that would lock up randomly, radio that would randomly quict working, multiple parking camera failures. Phone as key never worked right. The right DRL would quit working randomly. Symphonic chimes would randomly quit. It had a phantom parasitic draw that drained the battery if not driven daily, caused random error messages. I absolutely loved mine when it was working properly, but ultimately it was lemon. Also all those Lincoln perks they advertise like pick-up and drop-off of vehicles for service appointments, and loaner cars for the day? Not since COVID - most dealerships don't have the staff or the inventory to offer those services now. You're lucky to get an appointment to drop it off 6 weeks from now.

[@CarsWithSteve]

@@chrisholland curious... how long did you have the car before it started giving you issues and how long before the buyout ended up happening? What did you end up moving into after the Corsair gave you problems?

[@chrisholland]

@@CarsWithSteve - I had no issues the first 3-4 months. The build quality was impressive off the showroom floor. I saw one very minor paint flaw and the center dashboard speaker grille wouldnt lay flush. The problems started around the first service at 6 months and snowballed from there. It was bought back at 16 months, replaced with a '21 Nautilus. Nautilus has been pretty reliable the 1st year. Sync 4 is a lot more stable, occasional issues with AA and Carplay that can be resolved while driving. The dealership service experience is still pretty bad.

[@CarsWithSteve]

@@chrisholland Really odd that it started acting up after the dealer visit. Did you end up moving to another Lincoln dealer for servicing? Glad to hear the Nautilus is treating you well! Sync4 is much better than the older system.. I wish the Nautilus had the Active Park Assist similar to the Corsair though!

[@monical7061]

Can you change the drive mode while driving or should you stop when changing modes?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Yes you can change while driving!

I thought I commented here already, but I guess not! Another great video! And you got a haircut! No wonder I didn't recognize you right away. I so appreciate the time you put into these videos. I was ready to order in August to have by December 2022. But then, per *Ford Authority, I learned of a 2023 *model year changeover and even more exciting, a 2024 *refresh. Looks like I'll be waiting until next Fall. What's another year at this point?! I've done so much research on this car, it's worth waiting for! Especially since I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they add options for the center stacked console of wood, brushed aluminum or some other option outside of fingerprint black, umm, piano black! I look forward to the 'bread crumb' mapping. I still don't know where I'm going! Ha ha! I look forward to you getting your hands on a Grand Touring. Would love to hear your thoughts on the plug-in Hybrid. Until then.. *MY changeover: model year changeover resulting in minor changes like colors or changes to features included in trim levels. * Refresh: changes to exterior, interior and, on occasion, powertrain, but with the same general vehicle and platform. Otherwise known as midcycle enhancement, update or freshening.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks Kim! Haha yeah I try to go for different styles, always nice when people notice! The refresh is on track for 2024 so if you aren't in a rush to get into something new it may make sense to wait! Even if they don't have the different style interior you'd still have the option to do something aftermarket to customize it a bit more to your liking. Should be a GT incoming in the next week or so at one of the dealers I work with so looking forward to that!

@@carriecaley3532 No official announcement from Ford or Lincoln about the Nautilus but a platform schedule shows the Nautilus getting an EV version in the next few years. I'd say hang off until the 2023 Corsair. It's getting the nicer Sync4 screen and a few smaller upgrades for the upcoming model year. The Explorer is getting an EV on the Ford side which means something similar is probably coming for the Aviator. Lincoln announced the Star a few months back and just announced the L100 so the push towards EV is coming.
