The 2020 Lincoln Corsair is Packed with Luxury and Comfort | MotorWeek Road Test

[@kpc3582]

Lincoln did a great job with making the Corsair look almost nothing like the Ford Escape. I'm really happy to see Lincoln making what hopefully amounts to a big comeback.

[@TheUnsureFox]

It is good to still see John Davis reviewing these cars. The original face (and voice) of MotorWeek. Good stuff, guys. And I agree with you. The Lincoln brand is doing leaps and bounds better than its shadow 10 years ago. So glad to see it!

[@keithprice6581]

John Davis has a legendary intro.

[@aceofspades6667]

I agree I really do appreciate his reporting.. It hearkens back to when media was good (e.g. Tim Russert era)

[@candlercando]

Agree also. Motorweek have been masters of car review and offer real journalism. It’s a pleasant experience

[@tkewrestler2662]

I am so glad that Ford has finally learned how to share a chassis without making it simply badge engineering. The new Lincoln products are awesome!

[@keithjackson286]

Yes they are! Their line up is looking much better than their rival Cadillac

[@tkewrestler2662]

Keith Jackson you are so right. The Cadillacs can’t hold a candle to the new Lincolns, and the new Lincolns have real names. If I had my choice between the new Aviator and the XT6 it wouldn’t be hard to make that choice.

[@LrulestheworldM8]

Maybe "new GM" could figure ou.....nope. Never gonna happen.

[@tkewrestler2662]

LRulesTheWorld you are absolutely correct! You would think General Motors would learn from their history. The XT 6 is proof that it has not.

[@damariuseaton6678]

TKE Wrestler I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but I would LOVE to see Ford give their Ford Ecosport the Lincoln treatment, throw the new 1.5 3 Cylinder Ecoboost engine. It would blow the Buick Encore in the dust.

[@mcatlow8]

TBH The 2.0L is perfect for handling this car and its petty reliable. My family fell in love with Lincoln when my aunt bought one after having another brand for 15 years that wasn't the best. My mother then bought one followed by me and three of my cousins. Currently my aunts old Lincoln MKC is rolling with over 250K miles that she gave to my grandfather after buying this Corsair because he loved. One family seven Lincolns we all swear by. Nothing separates you from the outside like a Lincoln. Thanks to Motor Week for continuing to pump out these videos.

[@adithyaramachandran7427]

This Lincoln is probably going to be best in class.

[@indevibe]

I had a chance to go sit and drive one of these things..... LET ME TELL YOU, they are miles ahead, the thing is SOOOO COMFORTABLE.... and its ABSLUTELY BEAUTIFUL IN THAT CABIN....

[@linden6352]

Completely agree... At a car show recently I was most impressed by this over any other new car in the building. Being short, not many cars fit well, but even the base (non "perfect position") seats could fit me and taller people with plenty of headroom. And all of the other Lincolns were just as nice, but for 35k base it's by far the best value of anything out there.

[@damithgoonerathne2469]

Lincoln is back . Back with a bang

[@waywardboi]

I have always loved how Ford is able to put all the taillights on the hatch on this model unlike most that add them off to the sides on the fenders. It adds a very distinct touch to the smaller SUV!

[@ZImpresive]

Imagine, your kids will be watching this in 20 years when it becomes part of Retroweek.

[@andrewhardgrove7856]

Was just at the Tampa auto show and this thing blew away the competition it made the x1 and q3 feel like cheap Honda’s!

[@canuckereh5646]

What a strange comment.

[@mikezerker6925]

Lincoln has really stepped up its game with the interior quality and exterior looks of their new cars and SUVs. Hopefully long term reliability will hold up in these vehicles.

[@aurorajones8481]

Go Lincoln! Love what they are doing and where they are going.

[@epa316]

Glad they are using real names now, not just letters. That thing looks good inside and out.

[@johnmcalister7023]

I love the names from Lincoln

[@linden6352]

Much better than MK and then some random letter

[@nmtay]

I think out of all the new cars Lincoln has come out with, this one is the most interesting. I'd buy one for sure.

[@fernandochaves9665]

Good to see Lincoln alive and well.

[@Catboy.]

There making a comeback. Definitely better built and styled then cadillacs

[@captainamericaamerica8090]

This is a toy. Too small and weak

[@OPMDK]

2.3 should be the standard engine with a larger hybrid electric available, the 250hp plant seems like a legacy engine and out of tune with Lincolns new direction, retire it with the MK-junk nomenclature

[@OPMDK]

Oh, and at least it’s better than Cadillacs current efforts

[@wiibaron]

The Lincolns [all 3 new ones] look way too much the same. Might as well rename them Lincoln S Lincoln M and Lincoln L. Keep the XL too. Next we'll have the EcoSport XS...

[@Alexander_Timonin]

All they need now is a rwd based flagship

[@stanza77]

Really glad to see car names back again. "Aviator" , "Corsair" so much better than MKC or whatever. Everyone decided that since the Germans use letters and numbers then that's what customers want but I think American vehicles should have a proper evocative name not designations.

[@theKevronHarris]

Good point!! I love the "Corsair" name better than the MK-something name. The "Corsair" name was first used on a Kaiser car called the "Henry J. Corsair" and an Edsel.

[@fernandochaves9665]

In naming vehicles, nobody is better than american brands.

[@javierduran1390]

A 2020 car that has a normal sized grille? Impossible!! Sacrilege!

[@TheHelghast1138]

I know right!? I think it's one of the few new cars that doesn't look like a smiling whale shark!

[@aceofspades6667]

Lincoln is doing great!

[@adriank9]

[@Silverbullet_330]

We have a 2020 Lincoln Corsair and it’s amazing. Great automobile.

[@joespag26]

No large Ugly Grill like the Lexus !!

[@MrMenefrego1]

Fellow Baby Boomer, Mr. John Davis has been there and back! I remember back in the 80's when he announced that Lincoln would even be offering a "cellular phone" in one of their new models, a bit humorous now considering all of the innovations since then. How far the automobile industry has come! Although I enjoy his "Retro Reviews" the most BY FAR, the new ones are excellent as well. He is still the best at reviewing new cars and I hope he never retires!

[@willardarmbruster8111]

I was pleased to see a Motorweek review of this car. I’ve grown weary of all the KZbin amateurs.

[@TheHelghast1138]

I could watch the legend John Davis review cars all day. 😎 Though this was more of a commercial than a review (No 0-60 times, No handling course, No brake performance test, ect) Overall it is quite a nice little suv. 🤔 I like that Lincoln actually uses names, has its own identity now, a unique and outstanding interior, and does not look like a smiling Whale shark like every other car brand is doing for some odd reason. 🙂 I generally don't like any Ford products, but Lincoln is making a great argument for their products. And no, price has nothing to do with it. I don't understand people who watch videos of luxury or high performance vehicles and then complain about price. Maybe instead of being a wet blanket, just ask yourself what steps and changes in your life that you need to take to afford such a vehicle? Just a thought. 🧐 On a side note, great music and visuals in this video.🤩

[@komahoby]

Glad to still see John Davis doing great reviews for all this time. I just really wish that the piano black trim used in common touch areas would subside. It's just going to leave smudging unless cleaned often. Still, Lincoln is leaping ahead within the last few years.

[@seanv1556]

Amazing how much hp these small displacement engines are putting out..geeks love talking about Honda's from 1990 that had 90hp

[@Hakltz]

Another nice Lincoln! Wow!

[@hertzair1186]

Among automotive companies on a recent styling roll are Lincoln and Mazda...

[@terryswick7393]

i've had mine for 6 weeks and like it more every day...

[@porscheguy09]

They should mount the main touchscreen with a ball swivel in the back so you can swivel it from side to side for the driver to be able to angle it towards them or the passenger if desired.

[@markferwerda7968]

I sure don't like hearing comparisons to the Escape. I had an escape before I traded it in for a Honda Odyssey. The escape was the squeakiest vehicle I've ever owned. My wife has a new Nautilus and I'm considering the Corsair.

[@taydizzle3507]

I like this car but it’s to small so I went with the aviator

[@seanv1556]

Actual names!!

[@TheHelghast1138]

That's one of my favorite things about Lincoln!

[@seanv1556]

Cadillac, this is how you style a car.

[@nate678]

It's amazing I think Ford went from emulating Range Rover to leaving them behind.

[@linden6352]

Yeah. I went into a Range Rover and this at a car show, and this 40k Lincoln was way better than that Range Rover was. The Range Rover is all touch screens, everything is so complicated, and they focused more on looks than functionality. In this, you have actual buttons that do what they're supposed to, and it also looks great.

[@aayonce4]

What bugs me about Ford is Quality issues!! After 2014 things went down hill and they started cutting corners . everything creaks and rattles and they harsh rides. Nissan makes a much car overall.

[@MrShanester77]

Finally a luxury compact SUV with some real swag to offer! This will give the overpriced Cadillac a run for the money. This size is easy to park in ramps and offers the sophistication consumers want without the bulk.

[@theKevronHarris]

Lincoln is doing awesome!

[@kiabrown7013]

Beautiful and nice 290 horsepower price nice and always beautiful looks

[@nikemac84]

American cars are now up with the best! AWESOME. Now someone PLEEEEEEEEEZ help Chrysler make products like these!!! We can't lose them. These are OUR cars........

[@baritoning]

Every single one of these videos still looks like it's straight out of the 90s

[@gregorynofsker7554]

Still think channelling Matthew Mcconaughey's innermost thoughts & feels is excellent marketing on Ford's (Lincoln's) part.

[@wilmotown]

Your opening line is incorrect: Genesis isn’t in the SUV business. They SHOULD be, but are not.

[@LrulestheworldM8]

William Mackay im glad they arent. When I think of the genesis brand, I think of luxury sedans so nice that they make mercedes look bad. I dont think of run of the mill soccer mom mini-van type crossovers with low power output and zero visibility. They make luxury CARS. And I hope it stays that way. If bently is any example, these luxury crossovers dont sell well in the US market.

[@NileshR12]

LRulesTheWorld They're already planning a whole lineup of crossovers/ SUVs since that's what is selling

[@PearlJamFanLV]

Genesis has the GV80 coming out soon. So they are in the SUV business now too.

[@gsc76]

The only thing this shares with the escape is the wheelbase. Chases was designed differently from the new escape which is different then the old mkc.

[@seanv1556]

Cadillac who?

[@infinitelove6815]

what are the safety features

[@andybaumeister6981]

Could you please review the new 2022 Corsair Plug In Hybrid?

[@michaelsimko7694]

This Lincoln has lots of beautiful luxury with modern style and separates itself from its Ford cousin. I like how it's more similar to a Jaguar and Bentley than a BMW and Audi. Lincoln is making a big comeback thanks to these new SUVs. For a while I had thought Lincoln was eventually going to die.

[@samirekram]

Road test with no 0 to 60? Why?

[@jaythrash8804]

Nice ride. What was the inspiration for it, though? A WW2 bomber plane?

[@TheHelghast1138]

Ha! Awesome comment!

[@ericb.4358]

Congratulations to Lincoln for making a very competitive luxury compact SUV. Beautifully done and technically advanced. I think the MAZDA CX 5 Signature (AWD, 2.5 turbo) can offer 95% of the Corsair's features for $10,000. less and has styling a cut above the Corsair, especially in MAZDA's beautiful Soul Red color. I have a 2019 CX 5 Gran Touring Reserve with almost all of the Signature's features except the 360 deg. camera and it is truly a luxury SUV. (And yeah, Soul Red.)

[@dionbrooks4981]

Just got rid of my Mazda cx5 ...to many on the streets now...got the Corsair now

[@ericb.4358]

Good choice in the Corsair. Definitely above many "upscale" European compact SUVs both in quality and amenities. Yeah, the Corsair doesn't carve corners with most of them but wha it does do is coddle the passengers in a great ride. And yeah, the Corsair is a SUV you won't see every time you go to the mall.

The phone as a key does not work on iphone11 or os 13. Lincoln says they are behind and have no idea when if or when it will work. If you attempt to change lanes with someone in your blind spot, it does nothing to stop you.. not even a beep, only the usual lighted icon. Pretty, but a waste,

In 2015 The Chrysler 200 C was the only car with the full suite of safety features . Mercedes, Bmw, Audi etc. all had only one or two. Acura had none. Chrysler had every single one that all brands now brag about. It saved driving for me! It also has a 295 hp V6 that gets 26 mpg, and all wheel drive. When you pay $60,000 for a car, you expect it to come with everything working. My CRV has a luggage cover, and absolutely everything worked perfectly from the start. My Corsair is Beautiful, but maybe I shouldn’t have bought one of the first ones made. Hopefully they will get everything ironed out.
