Lincoln Corsair

Lincoln Corsair

Model Years Produced: 2020 to Current

Summary

Although based on the Ford Escape, the Corsair impressed reviewers so much that many have called it the “baby Navigator.” With excellent interior materials, ride quality, and noise isolation, the Corsair is well-deserving of its place in the luxury segment.

The Corsair’s only fault, if you could even call it that, is that it’s not as sharp to drive as its German competitors – though that’s because it’s much more plush instead. It’s also worth considering that Consumer Reports predicts poor reliability, though their data is only based on the 2020 model year.
