Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Lincoln CoPilot360 Plus
• Infotainment: 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with SYNC 3, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto
• Fuel efficiency: The base engine in the Corsair is a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder unit that puts out 250 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. This engine is fine enough and has enough power to get out of its own way, but we really appreciated the power found in the optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine. With 295 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque on tap, it makes strong acceleration. Power for both engines is routed through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2.0-liter routes power to front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), while the 2.3-liter is exclusively paired to AWD. Rather than “Sport” or other drive modes, the Corsair offers drive modes like “Conserve” and “Excite.” While Excite is akin to Sport mode, Lincoln has taken the right path with these unique drive mode names. No one is looking for the Corsair to be a hot rod, so alternative drive mode names are more in line with the reality of the driving experience. Even when in Normal drive mode, the 2.3-liter Corsair can move. It’s brisk of the line and gets up to highway speeds quickly. Even in Excite, there’s a bit of body roll in turns and the steering is light. But the Corsair is still confident in cornering, even at high speeds, and provides strong braking. The suspension feels very “American,” in that it can handle well, but is designed to absorb deeper potholes a higher speeds. There is a good amount of road noise when encountering those potholes, but better to hear them than to feel them. For 2021, Lincoln has added the Grand Touring trim with its plug-in hybrid powertrain. It combines a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), battery power, and a pair of electric motors. The setup makes a combined 266 hp. It is officially rated for 28 miles of pure EV driving, with an efficiency rating of 78 MPGe in electric mode, plus 33 mpg combined fuel economy in hybrid mode.

Which Lincoln Corsair trim should I buy?

The 2021 Lincoln Corsair offers these trims:

• Standard: This is the entry point and brings 18-inch alloy wheels, a power rear liftgate, a 10-speaker premium stereo, dual-zone climate control, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, heated front seats, synthetic leather upholstery, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Standard I: This sub-trim adds ambient cabin lighting, power-folding rear seats, and voice-activated navigation.
• Reserve: This is the best-value trim if you want a more upscale feel, adding 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument panel, a 14-speaker Revel premium stereo system, genuine leather upholstery, a hands-free power liftgate, and a large panoramic moonroof.
• Grand Touring: This plug-in hybrid trim adds the hybrid powertrain and brings in most of the features that are optional on the Standard and Reserve trims.

What Lincoln Corsair do most buyers choose?

The Lincoln Corsair years with the most listings are 2023, 2022, and 2021.

These higher-volume model years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim, mileage, and price combination. They also sit in the sweet spot where newer features and broader availability often overlap.

What is the Lincoln Corsair's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the Corsair lineup, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. Several model years have seen double-digit drops, while the smallest declines are still meaningful enough to improve value for buyers. The pattern also suggests that newer examples have softened enough to create more attractive entry points than when they were first listed.

The 2020, 2023, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

• Tech: The Corsair comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. There is actually no larger, high-feature touchscreen above this, and that’s perfectly fine. The screen is easy to use and runs the SYNC 3 infotainment system. It has a logical menu layout thanks to a dock of buttons at the bottom of the screen. It also comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Corsair’s steering wheel could be considered cluttered, were it not for the fact Lincoln moved the voice control button higher up to the actual wheel, as opposed to the stock. This allows the driver to easily depress the button with his or her thumb. Our Reserve test model also came with the optional wireless device charging, 14-speaker Revel premium audio system, and head-up display (HUD). The latter was fantastic and provided crisp graphics that were very easy to read.
• Safety: The Corsair comes standard with forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. It also comes with lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors. This is in addition to features such as traction control, a tire-pressure monitoring system, and a full array of front-and-side-impact airbags. Our test model featured Lincoln CoPilot360 Plus. This suite of additional driver aids included the aforementioned HUD and rain-sensing wipers. It also includes, adaptive LED headlights, surround-view parking cameras, front parking sensors, speed-limit sign recognition, stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, reverse automatic braking, and automatic parking assist. The 360-degree parking camera was among the most helpful from this suite of features. The forward collision and lane departure sensors provide subtle status updates on the dash when they identify a vehicle in front of the Corsair or that they are in the lane lines.
• Starting price: Base MSRP for the 2021 Lincoln Corsair is $35,945 for the FWD Standard trim.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
