The 2023 Lincoln Corsair GT Is A Uniquely American Plug-In Hybrid Luxury SUV

With the market for compact luxury SUV's quickly becoming one of the most competitive segment, the 2023 #LincolnCorsair gets some big upgrades to keep it fresh since this model came out in 2020. The #CorsairGT is the flagship in the #Corsair family and is the only model that comes as a #PHEV, which means nearly 30 miles of EV only range and up to 266 HP combined. #Lincoln says the new Corsair is the best-selling model in the lineup and the changes this year should help it retain that position.

Can't wait to hear your opinion on this. Lincoln in recent years have made their way to my short list when considering a luxury vehicle. Right up there with Genesis. Love their designs and powertrain options.

[@naveenthemachine]

I too would put Lincoln up there with genesis. Their interiors are as nice as genesis

[@RadSel8]

Lincoln was my top choice until I test drove it and a BMW. Night and day difference. BMW is a better driver's car. Also, BMW software is more mature and polished than most systems, in my opinion. I haven't test driven a Genesis SUV to be honest.

I owned a 2018 Lincoln mkc. Once it got to 41000 miles, the a/c and heated seats went out, the cameras glitched out, the panoramic sunroof cover had issues opening, it was a mess! Will never again buy a Lincoln product. I’ve had nothing but bad luck with Ford products. I do miss how quite and smooth the ride was though.

It’s apples/oranges comparing it to comparably loaded new xc60 T8 Recharge, way more than $4K over in 26:19 math. Corsair GT has significantly more features than the basic xc60 T8 Core/Pure.

[@naveenthemachine]

One of my favorite entry level luxury phevs in the segment I would put this up there with the xc60 for interior luxury and features.

Two different level. This platform is not too refine. XC60 is a proper luxury vehicle.

@@DR9800 platform wise sure but in features and interior it’s closer to the Volvo

Slow for what is. Lincoln resale historically has been bad. In the 60’s thats why Caddy sold well.

67K!! Better go for the NX or Audi Q5 or even the Kia Sorrento. No way this is going for 67K.

When other new phev models are giving 35-60 miles of all electric range, this getting 28 miles is very sad. It wouldn't even make it to the list of vehicles I'd consider because of that.

The RDX doesn’t share anything with the crv. You yourself said this in your first drive RDX in 2019 and the recently refreshed RDX

That was the case with the prior generation CR-V, but when the new one came out this year, it shares more with the current RDX.

For states requiring front license plates, where is best place to mount the plate when dealing with such a massive grill?

[@ItzzTooLate]

Is everyone in the comments just fanboys of Volvo? The interior alone is so much better then the XC60. Compared to a BMW or Mercedes I'd choose those because the driving performance is hard to beat. But compared to the genesis gv70, Lexus nx, or Acura RDX the Corsair is a really solid choice. Also the people who complain about reliability while looking at luxury cars are clowns. If you can afford these cars you can afford whatever maintenance comes with them. Land rover/range rover are famous for making unreliable cars yet they sell them like crazy.

It’s a disgrace adding a CVT transmission into a luxury vehicle. Hearing rattling noise in the interior on a brand new vehicle is definitely something you should be worried about. For $67,000 I would purchase a Lexus or Genesis over a Ford/Lincoln.

@@Carfan678 You see? That's what I meant. When car styles from each generation are based solely on trends. The new trend is SUVS and they all look exactly the same. I don't blame the car manufacturers, but the consumers that they all seem to demand the same old boring stiles, cooky cutter style cars with very little personality. No one likes to be "different" or "abnormal". We all seem to walk away from individualism in general, but car design is another victim of the consumer unoriginality

Aaand just like that Lincoln reverted back to a lack of brand identity with their grille.

[@csmlouis]

I am just mad that Lincoln did not send another burgundy interior that Sofyan *loves* so much. Also, if you option this correctly (no PHEV or hybrid), this will be a bargain between XC40 and Q3 but much more usable 2nd row.

From what I have read, the Corsair will be discontinued next year

[@Tully3674]

An OK SUV. I think the styling is a little dated and resale value (considering the ridiculous price) will be terrible in 3...4 years. RDX, NX, Genesis GV70 - all day, any day when compared to the Corsair. Might even choose a fully loaded Chevy Blazer before the Corsair.

[@naveenthemachine]

I’d rather go with the Corsair over the already dated nx. But I’d put the Lincoln on par w the RDX and just a hint behind the gv70
