    Lincoln Unveils the 2020 Corsair in New York

      ... Latest entry to round out Lincoln's remade crossover lineup...

    At the New York International Auto Show today, Lincoln unveiled the 2020 Lincoln Corsair.  The Corsair is a small crossover that takes over for the MKC in Lincoln's lineup and joins the new Lincoln Aviator, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Navigator. 

    Lincoln says the Corsair has "Visually soothing design" and offers a sanctuary for drivers.  Effortless power comes standard.

    large.All-New-2020-Lincoln-Corsair_Interior-01_72-DPI.jpgCustomers can use their phone as a key to enter the cabin, and should their phone go dead, they can use the standard exterior keypad and then the interior touch screen to enter and start driving.  If the customers phone is lost or stolen, the digital key can easily be deleted.  The key saves a profile of up to 80 driver preferences to be automatically adjusted when a specific driver enters the vehicle. 

    Lincoln designers obsessed over interior quietness, providing things like a double wall dashboard to create extra space between the engine and driver.  This is further enhanced with standard Active Noise Cancellation.  Six unique symphonic chimes inform the driver of various status in and around the vehicle.  The chimes were recorded by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.  When you do want sound, there is a 14-speaker Revel sound system tuned specifically for the Corsair.

    Power for the Corsair comes in the form of either a 250 horsepower 2.0 Ecoboost with 275 lb-ft of torque, or a 2.3 liter Ecoboost with 280 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the wheels via a new 8-speed automatic to either the front or all wheels.

    Lincoln Co-Pilot360 is standard and comes with automatic emergency braking and Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Information System, a Lane-Keeping System, rear backup camera and auto high-beam lighting.  Co-Pilot360 Plus is an option that adds Adaptive cruise control, Evasive steer assist, Reverse brake assist, and Active Park Assist Plus. 

    The 2020 Lincoln Corsair will be built in Lincoln's Louisville Assembly Plant in Louisville, Kentucky, and will be arriving in dealerships this fall.

    I think the interior looks fantastic other than the HVAC pod shape that looks like it came off a last gen Escape.  I am not a fan of the push button shifter but that is on all Lincolns.  Really pretty looking interior though and definitely among the best of the 20 or so small SUVs out there.  

    Good power out of the engines too, I like that there are 2 engines and this should move well unless it is obese.

    This should be popular. Good work. Not a fan of the standing up tablet but that’s getting typical. 

    Great base engine specs. Cadillac doesn’t seem to get that. Should make this Lincoln zoom

    The nicest CUV in its class, easily.  Makes the Cadillac TX4, or whatever it's called, look like the cardboard box the Corsair was shipped in.  And take a look at those power figures... this is luxury car power.

    Just a matter of opinion from my end. Just not as enamored with it as you clearly. 

    I’m just speaking of the color. I love seeing colored leathers!

    It is a nice Nautical theme color contrast but not sure I would want it for years of driving. Would rather have a nice Moca interior. Much warmer.

    Interesting...I kind of like the blue, but don't care for the gray.  If it were all blue, that might be interesting.   I see they are doing the white trim like on the blue interior Navis...

    Motor Trend won't allow me to save images in a format that I can upload but scroll through the pictures and find the blue/teal leather interior.

    The "chimes" recorded by the Detroit  Symphony Orchestra were completely aimed at people like me who love that type of stuff but think no one else does.

    It's also a nice separation from Ford for those who don't really care about the cool-factor.

    Nice power figures, but I just can not get with the looks.. as I am not able to get with the looks of its two CUV/SUV higher ups. 237 hp/258 lb⋅ft from the XT4 in a 3660lb vehicle vs the Corsair at 280/310 is a nice advantage in power, but only depending on the weight of the Lincoln, which will most likely be about 100-150 lbs heavier. OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING.. the Blazer, for instance, proved that even with more HP,  the Flex ST wasn't exactly much faster in any dynamic.

    Your welcome,

    I totally agree, I like the separation with the cool chimes. Cadillac should dump the GM traditional noise makers and have a luxury inspired sounds.

    no. I'm using chrome is it a browser issue?

    No, I use chrome, opera and firefox and they all have it. Maybe it is a permission thing since I have writer privilege for the site. @Drew Dowdell could answer that best I believe.

    Edit for the first 10 minutes after posting.

    If you're a premium subscriber $1.75 a month or $15 a year, that restriction gets removed and so do almost all of the ads.  Plus.. it helps the site out a little bit with the cost of running the place.

      Very cool, as one that does not get into planes, those kind that can land on land and water all look the same to me. Reminds me of the Indiana Jones Movie plan that was on water too.

      Living in Ohio has never felt so good.  It seems to have made landfall with less damage than expected, which is good.  I love this. Kia is building some hella stylish vehicles! I like that area. Visiting up north in the Panhandle next month.  I just find astrology mindless.

      Houses on stilts are pretty common in the Florida Keys, remember them from 40 years ago growing up there.  I saw a bunch built that way recently in the NC Outer Banks and in SC--Myrtle Beach, Garden City, Surfside Beach.  The Outer Banks and coastal SC remind me so much of the Keys.   (Have insomnia this morning.. up doing random tasks..checking server logs, filling out vote-by-mail ballot, looking at maps, watching hurricane coverage, etc..)

      Insane.  Milton made landfall at Siesta Key in Sarasota County as a 3.  It was forecast to come in between Tampa Bay and Port Charlotte.  I forgot the strength of the previous ones that recently hit the southwest coast of FL. So much preparation was needed.  I saw a clip on evacuating the animals from the Tampa Zoo. I'm sad for those who didn't make it out.  They mentioned that a plane carrying evacuees crashed. It's working its way northeasterly across the peninsular state.

      @G. David Felt Sorry David, but the plane on top would be the airplane from the Expendables movie. The second one in the franchise. It would be the Canadair CL 215.  A waterbomber that fights fires. My dad worked at Canadair for 40 years. Now Canadair is under the Bombardier Aerospace name. And he worked on the CL 215 both in production and later the head engineer in quality control.  The airplane I posted earlier today is the Martin Mars. Another water bomber and it took its final flight this summer. It landed on a lake in British Columbia somewheres to be retired in a museum there. At least I think that is the plan.  That particular plane and the models themselves are no longer flying.  But the Bombardier CL 215 became the CL 415 and then Bombardier Aerospace sold the rights to a company named Viking to which they will continue on building them as the Viking 515 with new modern avionics in. As many countries fly it to fight their forest fires. The CL 215 was updated to the 415 in the 1980s with then modern avionics but the 515 will have modern modern 2020s avionics.  The Cl 215 is a design from the 1930s.  It had the Canso PBY as inspiration and a mentor.   In the first movie, the airplane was a Grumman HU-16 Albatross.
