What's New
The 2022 Lincoln Corsair continues as the brand's entry-level vehicle with minimal change. Some option packages have been tweaked to better reflect buying habits. The Corsair debuted in 2020, and a hybrid variant arrived last year.
Choosing Your Lincoln Corsair
The Lincoln Corsair small luxury SUV is once again offered in three trim levels: Standard, Reserve, and Grand Touring. Pricing starts at $37,200 including destination and stretches to $51,425 for the plug-in hybrid Grand Touring.
Engine Choices
The Standard and Reserve trims start with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and a 2.3-liter turbo is optional. The Grand Touring carries a plug-in hybrid powerplant.
Pairing the 2.0-liter engine with all-wheel costs $4,850 on the Standard and $2,300 on the Reserve. This includes the cost of certain options that are required when adding AWD. The 2.3-liter engine comes exclusively with all-wheel drive for a total cost of $7,350 on the Standard and $4,800 on the Reserve. Both engines use an eight-speed automatic transmission.
AWD is standard on the Grand Touring, along with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Thanks to its plug-in technology, the Grand Touring offers up to 28 miles of range on electricity alone. After that, it runs on a combination of gas and electricity, earning an EPA-estimated 33 mpg in combined driving.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque | Fuel Economy (Combined) |
2.0L Turbo 4-Cylinder | 250 hp | 280 lb-ft | 25 mpg |
2.3L Turbo 4-Cylinder | 295 hp | 310 lb-ft | 24 mpg |
2.5L 4-Cylinder Plug-In Hybrid | 266 hp | Not Rated | 33 mpg |
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Corsair is a compact, two-row crossover with room for five. There's 27.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat and 57.6 cubic feet with it folded. Overall capacity is comparable to other luxury crossovers of similar size.
Safety Features
The Corsair comes standard with Lincoln Co-Pilot360, a bundle of driver assistance technology that includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, and rear parking sensors.
The optional Lincoln Co-Pilot360 Plus ($2,500) adds adaptive cruise control, evasive steering assist, surround-view cameras with washers, reverse automatic braking, front parking sensors, and an automated parking system.
A head-up display is included with the $2,200 Luxury Package for the Reserve and Grand Touring.

The Standard model comes with an eight-inch touchscreen, 10 speakers, satellite radio, four USB ports, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Navigation is included in the $2,550 Corsair I Package.
Navigation is standard on the Reserve and Grand Touring, along with a 13-speaker Revel sound system with HD radio. The Luxury Package contains a 14-speaker Revel system. The Technology Package for these trims ($2,800) adds wireless device charging and two more USB ports, plus plenty of other features.

Compare Corsair Trims Side-By-Side
The 2022 Lincoln Corsair Reserve is priced closer to the Standard trim this year, which makes the Reserve the best value of the three. With any trim, select your options judiciously. The Corsair can get expensive in a hurry.
