This is a Motormouth couple car review of the Lincoln Corsair PHEV plug-in hybrid compact SUV. If you are looking for another plug-in hybrid option in the luxury category, take a look at the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring. The Corsair PHEV has a 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid system with an eCVT, 266 combined horsepower and 45 km/28 miles of EV range, standard AWD.
Fuel economy is very good getting 3.1Le/100km, 78 MPGe combined. When the battery is depleted, you will get 6.9L/100km, 34 MPG city, 7.3L/100km, 32 MPG highway and 7L/100km, 33 MPG combined.
The Lincoln Corsair PHEV comes standard with adaptive suspension giving it a smooth and comfortable ride with a quiet cabin which is typical of a Lincoln and a priority for the brand. It soaks up the speed bumps and other road imperfections. There are plenty of standard features like an 8” touchscreen with Sync 3, a 12.3” colour display, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, heated power driver and passenger seats, driver seat memory, leather trimmed upholstery, a panoramic sunroof and a 17” spare tire. Available features include, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, wireless charger, ambient lighting, hands-free tailgate, head-up display and a 14-speaker Revel audio system.Our test model in Artisan Blue has all the extra features including Lincoln Co-Pilot 360 1.5 Plus which includes features like a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist and lane centering assist. Overall, we find the Corsair PHEV to be a good-looking SUV that is comfortable and spacious. I am impressed by how little the gas engine comes on when in EV mode. There are a few things I don’t like, I find the button shifter to be too far away, every time you shift, you have to lean forward. I also find for this price point the 8” touchscreen is too small when non-luxury brands have larger screen options and wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, the Corsair only wired. The Corsair PHEV qualifies for an EV rebate of $2,500 in Canada and a tax credit up to $7500 in the US. The Corsair Plug-in Hybrid starts at $59,700 CAD/$51,810 USD. Price as test $69,500

Piano" buttons are cool, driving for 2 years, love it
Hey watch it buddy on the age comments. I’m 62 and would consider the Corsair. I also ride adventure motorcycles, camp, hike, bike and kayak.
During my teenage years my Dad drove a couple of Lincolns (Continental Mk IV and a Towncar). So I’ve always had a soft spot for them. That Revel 14(?) premium sound system was probably better than his 8-track player that typically played Kenny Rogers, the Eagles or Joan Biaz/Carole King. Absolutely great memories. Thanks for creating another entertaining video… I think I’ll give my Dad a call and Thank him too!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it
We have owned one since February. Absolutely love the car and get way better mileage on electric than the EPA range if 28 miles. Electric only range is between 36 to 40 miles. I just look forward to driving the car. Can’t say that about many other cars. We have driven the car over 5,000 miles and it just keeps amazing me and my wife, how nice it is and the incredible gas mileage you get in a luxury car. Lincoln has really nailed it.
Gary and Carol
Hey Gary. When the electric battery range depletes, does it switch to hybrid mode or purely gasoline mode?
I've owned a Corsair GT for 8 months now and am delighted with it. Most of my daily trips are less than 30 RT miles, which put me up to 105 MPG. The overall lifetime MPG is still 66 MPG after a couple road trips and 3,500 electric miles out of 6,400 travelled overall.
Two pleasant surprises for me are the heads up display and "active bending, speed dependant" headlights. Thanks to the heads up display, I hardly ever have to take my eyes off the road. The headlights are as sophisticated as a Saab I once owned. When traveling at lower speed, the headlights cast a wider path; as vehicle speed increases, the illumination path narrows to avoid blinding drivers headed in the other direction. The vehicle lowers high bean illumination over half a block away from cars coming in the other direction. I have never had to manually adjust between high and low beam illumination: Grade A+ for this feature.
I took the car out to an isolated winding mountain road (FR 333 in the Sandia foothills) to test the headlight "dynamic bending" adjustment. The vehicle apparently uses radar and lane markings to anticipate curves in the road to illuminate the side of the road BEFORE the driver needs to turn the steering wheel in that direction. It works so smoothly that a passenger might not notice it at first; as the driver, it's slightly eerie in a good way to see the headlights cast light in a direction you are about to steer into! This feature works flawlessly. Bravo Lincoln!
Most of my daily commute is via boulevards in Albuquerque's NE Heights, so I'm constantly using the adaptive cruise control with active speed monitoring and lane centering. The vehicle is quite good at recognizing changes in speed limit and adjusting the speed accordingly. In stop and go traffic I can trust it to speed up and slow down with vehicles around me. On a recent 1,400 mile road trip these features combined with the massage seats definitely made us less tired after long stretches behind the wheel. On the interstate, if we were caught behind a slow moving vehicle, when I turned on the left hand tuen signal to go around the slower car in front of me, the vehicle automatically increased speed slightly to safely maneuver around the other vehicle.
As for the ADAS, I'd give both the speed sign recognition and braking an "A" grade. As for lane centering, it's good on the freeway - but in town where there are a lot of changes in lane markings and curb variations, the system is conservative and does not recognize a left hand curb (when traveling in the left hand lane of a multi-lane Boulevard) as a boundary. Therfore I give the lane keeping recognition a grade of C+. The Service Manager at Corley's Lincoln believes I should see an improvement in this area with future software downloads as Lincoln engineers collect more data from cars on the road.
I initially placed a deposit on the electric Volvo XC40. Both cars cost around $62k. But the Lincoln offered several features unavailable on the Volvo. Online research with an XC40 owner's forum clinched it for me when a Volvo owner in Texas said he only gets 165 miles from a full charge in August when traveling 85 mph on the interstate with the AC running. With a full gas tank and fully charged battery, my GT has 330-340 miles of range.
If you are in the market for a luxury PHEV or electric SUV, give the Corsair serious consideration. It's the kind of product wherein you will continue to discover new, thoughtful design details after several months of ownership.
I learn English by watching your videos, very CLEAR pronunciation
Thanks
Fantastic! 👌
Found you guys when we were buying our CX-50, stuck around for the great reviews of all things automotive. 👍🏻
That's amazing, thank you!
Such a handsome SUV. Mid-50s here, but love traditional American luxury. Smooth and quiet is perfect 🥰
That blue color is everything 😍
I love, love love your reviews and your interplay! Keep those reviews coming.
Wow, thank you so much!
Finally! Great review as always, loved your thoughts thanks for sharing. Agree with you, one thing that had me convinced is that it takes regular gas compared to the competition which reflects savings at the pump, I'm still in the fence between current and next year's model 🤔 will probably wait as you suggested
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I think I would wait for Sync4, it will be a nice update. You get wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto with Sync4.
Having been in the industry, the Corsair is a good choice for the Limo industry. It is a classic airport "transfer" unit carrying 4 pax & luggage, which was 80% of my biz.
Very nice looking car! Great review from both of you, as always. Love the banter! 🙂
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!
Great review overall, Zack and Andrea! I love your reviews so much!
Wow, thank you so much, we really appreciate the support.
Late reviewing this video. I have a 2022 Corsair 2 yrs in May. So far it’s great. I’m 80 yo retired and also have a 2023 Mustang Mach 1. The Corsair is my daily driver and 2 charges to 95% {28 miles) a week covers 99 44/100% of my driving. No gas purchases since mid January. I couldn’t be happier here in central Texas.
Guess what our local Lexus dealer told us for the NX 450h+ base model, 5 to 6 YEARS WAIT! The car does not exists. Stop taking about it please. Great review of the Corsair.
OMG seriously???
@@andreaspencer9813 we had an appointment for a test drive for a non hybrid NX, when we got there what model we were looking for ( we had ready told the lady who was making the appointments that we were looking at the 450h+) when we told him him the base 450h+, he backed and there was no chance to do a test drive and he told us 5 or 6 years wait. Incredibly bad customer service. Lexus has lost a potential client with this attitude. Not worthy of a prestige brand.
@@legag68 Wow, that's really disappointing to hear, thanks for sharing this.
Absolutely love this vehicle. The exterior color is a favorite and the interior refinement is stellar.
Beautiful colour, I am really impressed with it.
Andrea's got a top to match every exterior and a bottom to match every seat!
Haha, like I said, it's an extensive wardrobe!
Loved the enthusiastic review. How are the "driver safety" features - especially commute driving with lane centering and adaptive cruise?
Comme d'habitude, c'est vachement bien. Bravo. Salut from hot Champagne Province ( 34°).
I've been watching your videos for so long that I can truly appreciate your S for subscribe plug. You guys got it down pat.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 And about the truck. Love it, never buying and American car again. Great video guys.
Thanks for watching!
Great vehicle; great review as always! I talked to my Lincoln dealer; they wanted a "$15k dealer adjustment." Total price of $68k (U.S.). And, dealer would not commit that it qualified for U.S. federal tax credit. No thanks.
We ordered a 2022 model, wishing we had waited for the 2023 if the infotainment is getting an update
lol @ zack sayin " lincoln it up" good one there. made me giggle
Enjoyed your indepth review of this vehicle; this one is on our short list...
Great review
You are right Andrea!
lol! Thank you!
Rumor has it you have a few pairs of chucks in that wardrobe of yours, although we've yet to see any 🤔
Another honest review. As the owner of a 21 Explorer ST I couldn't agree more with the comments on the legacy technology. Ford/Lincoln are constantly putting old multimedia systems in their newest vehicles. SYNC3 is EOL, shouldnt be installed in anything after 2019 build date. Unfortunately SYNC4 isn't that much better but it is an improvement over SYNC3. Multimedia has always been a weak spot with Ford, they need to hire an Engineer from the U-Connect team.
When changing gears, why do you need to keep your eyes on the road?
One of the big advantages for me is the fact that you can tow the escape and corsair behind a motorhome 4wheels down. Hopefully this vehicle proves itself reliable
Great review you two!! :)
Thank you!
Beautiful exterior, the only things off are those 2000s headlamps. They remind me of old affordable hatchbacks.
A big and smooth vehicle Andrea from a great American luxury car maker, remember the old Lincoln Continental series?
I do, I remember it well.
@@andreaspencer9813 omg Andrea do forgive me but are you old enough? 🤭 anyway I'm playing, yes famous car though not sure when the series ended?
@@timphillips4147 Lol good one! I think from what I remember it was after 2002, Lincoln retired the continental.
@@andreaspencer9813 Glad you appreciated that bit of humour Andrea lol. Yes it's been a while since it's been around so 2002 sounds right.
No, but my great grandpa does....🤣🤣🤣🤣 great luxury car? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you gave the Corsair such a positive review, why is it that it did not make your 2022 top ten list ?
It did not even receive Honorable Mention at the end of the top ten videos.
It also did not make your top 5 luxury compact SUV list. And DID NOT recieve an Honorable Mention at the end of the 2021 video taped in January 2022 or the 2022 version video taped in January of 2023
Is the Lincoln Corsair that bad of a vechiel that it is not comparable to the others that continously make your list of top 5 or top 10?
Thank you
Jerry
Hi Motormouth Me I Will Compare The Ford Escape Titanium PHEV And Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring Phev
I hope they sell a bunch of these so I can find a used one in a few years.
I would call this a solid upscale SUV but I don't think I really could call it a luxury SUV. I think Lincoln needs to think fast because the competition is sprouting like crazy!
Nice review!
Thank you very much, glad you liked it.
I think it’s ok. It’s need more refresh like some more technology in it.
Agreed!
Could you review the updated Ford Edge Titanium? It and the Nautilus will be EOL in 2023.
I drove both. The Nautilus is 100% better
Excellent review.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Imo, the small touch screen is not a deal breaker but the piano style transmission is!!
I agree. Also… 8 inch screen is the sweet spot for me. Anything bigger and it’s starts looking like a massive iPad. Just sold my Tesla model S. I cringe just thinking about how massive that tablet looked tacked onto that dash. 😩
Is there anyway to call out Toyota on the unequal distribution of Rav4 Primes in U.S. vs Canada? They are available like any other regular cars in U.S. But when it comes Canada - chip shortage, supply chain, production issues etc. etc. all sorts of reasoning starts coming up. Even if the U.S. has a much larger population, the 2 or3 year wait times in Canada still remains unjustified.
Are you going to review the Corrolla Hybrid or the Hybrid Ford Maverick?
Maverick is already on the channel.
We are still waiting for the 2023 Corolla Hybrid to arrive and we already reviewed the Ford Maverick Hybrid. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/rIS2CO_QMoA/w-d-xo.html
@@andreaspencer9813 My mistake and thank you
@@ghenry85 No worries, we put out a lot of content each week, I am sure it's easy to miss something.
OH didn't know Lincoln was still made, learn something every day.
This is your lucky Day, Mr Day
What a nice surprise 😍
This SUV is shockingly refined looking. I can't believe they didn't bling everything out. So Un American. But that lame screen... face plant. The NX gets 5k from the gov't but the Executive package is over 15k!! Same with the X3, order the premium essential package and it's 14k!
Do you ever consider a brands reliability in your recommendations.
We had a first year Corsair that was nothing but gremlins and glitches. The reliability of that model is at or near the bottom of everyone’s list. I’ve never seen any ratings site that even mentioned the Corsair in the list of luxury SUV’s.
Do you think the 2023 will have a bigger battery?
Just get in there Zach! 🤣
A lot of money to save some gas... How efficient are the headlights? You should rate this item!
Save some brakes also. Save some noise. I like quiet EV driving. eCVT transmission, no shifting. I hate those cars with 6-8 speed transmissions, continuous jerking shifting and auto stop crap. I have the 2013 Ford Cmax hybrid with 97000 miles on it. It has the same hybrid system as the Lincoln and I get 44 miles/gallon. I will be purchasing the 2023 Lincoln Corsair GT
are any ford/Lincoln products have a heat pump?
Beautiful outfit and the car is nice too
Awe thank you!
eCVT on a premium brand? What's wrong with Ford?
Lexus too
Taking your eye off the road to shift, should not be a concern, as you should only be shifting when stopped.
patiently waiting for car companies to transition away from the piano black on everything
True, we certainly are seeing a lot of it these days.
Ford Edge Titanium is the first car I’ve owned with not a single piece of “piano” black.
13:48 they couldn’t even line up the badge. Typical Ford craftsmanship
Yes. This looks really cheap.
The rotary shift needs a stop on drive and park.
Can you update a Sync3 to Sync4?
Unfortunately no. I purchased a Nautilus for the Sync 4
I had the BMW X3 30e, it was not an enjoyable vehicle imo. The range was terrible, the price was too high, and the 2.0l engine was far to underpowered for a heavy suv. The Lincoln has a nice exterior, but the interior looks very dated. The the cadillac lyriq looks sooo much better for the money!
Lyriq is a completely new design and cost $10K+ more. It should be better.
I would take a similar loaded Kia/Hyundai (or the Genesis) over a CVT hybrid.
This is the eCVT hf45 (no belt) developed by Ford/Toyota together, I have one (hf35) in my 2013 Ford Cmax with 97000 miles, no noise and works perfectly. I will be ordering a 2023 Lincoln corsair gt any day now. I know the system works.
The focus on screen size defining whether a car is up to date or not cracks me up. Who cares? I know.... Most people care about these things. I think it's silly.
It's actually not silly, I speak to many viewers and followers each day and updated technology including screen sizes and how they are positioned on the dash or integrated are very important to buyers.
What’s even more sad is you’d think with the way the screen is just stuck in the top of the dash, that it could be updated in older models as well. Give owners of older models the ability to upgrade to the bigger screen with sync 4.
@@andreaspencer9813 silly buyers.
Andrea, they are 29 years old just like you!
How reliable on Lincoln brand?
Bad
I have a Nautilus and not one problem
@@LL-mt2nz oh its coming
@@melonbarmonster do you even own a Lincoln or just read internet articles?
Had a first year Corsair ( 20 ). Drove nice, looked great but, It was all gremlins and glitches. When I first picked it up, the hatch jammed shut, wouldn’t open . Every quarter we got a recall or problem that needed repairs. Sold it after a year and a half. Not ready for prime time.
Traditional American luxury remains appealing for those, who don't want to seen in the more mainstream German and Japanese style of damping. I still associate Lincoln with Town Car, Continential and Mark series. That's despite Ford vintage's S-Type based LS was a really good sports sedan, or a luxury sedan with interior that has typical Ford cheapness. If Navigator is the modern day Town Car, Consair must be modern day Continential?
Cut off 4 inches off the bottom , lower it and you have a modern stationwagon
Okay Zach and Andrea ... Don't let your handle, "Motormouth," become who you actually are. Between about 5:50 and 6:10 in the video, adjunct to Andrea discussing her displeasure with the size of the steering wheel (looks about the same size as my '07 RAV4), Zach "sells" himself by quipping, "I wonder what the average age of a Corsair buyer is, Andrea ... I'm guessing they're collecting their pensions."
There is nothing that links this vehicle with a persons age. Ageism has no place in these reviews. I realize this was 11 months ago and surely Zach's suburban dweeb judgement and maturity have improved since production, but his statement nonetheless made me want to reach through the screen and grab him by the stacking swivel. I am indeed a sexagenarian. I am active, sharp, successful (three pensions, actually) and I really love what I'm seeing about this car. What Zach could have intelligently said was, "I feel the typical Corsair buyer is one who wishes to achieve and can afford refined luxury in a compact crossover SUV." The viewer can take it from there, no matter the years. Someday this duo might get there. I don't know what else Zach does for a living but, unless he's in the pit of a car dealership, I would love to see what happens if he were to quip ageist comments among a group in a professional environment. Oh and btw ... my 33-year old daughter-in-law thinks this vehicle is awesome, but she can't afford one.
Why I'd purchase: Amazing Consumer Reports score of 84, and at-once beautiful, efficient and has utility. I need to understand why, being based on the Escape platform, why the escape only ranks a CR score of 70. It FAR exceeds the reliability ratings of the Caddy XT4 (CR Score 58) owned by my neighbor in his 40s.
Zach ... Andrea ... these reviews live on TH-cam in perpetuity unless you take them down, so commentary like the ones I'm referencing are just as fresh today as they were 11 months ago. You could now regain your credibility by reviewing the 2023 or projected 2024 version of this car, including the status of tech updates you mentioned were needed in the 2022 model, and again ... make it for everybody.
Maybe we just aren't for you.
@@Motormouth... Age bias isn't for me for sure, and it isn't for anyone. I'd been watching your reviews for weeks, among others', and enjoyed them until it became clear you don't value seniors in your audience. Well, ya don't get off that easy ... I'll keep listening to your reviews as part of the story and consider the insular source, but just perhaps, since Zach's quip drew this response, now published and visible in feedback to the review, more care might be taken in what you're saying ... making sure your bias doesn't slip into some other category mmkay?
@@paularmstrong3395 Paul, you have zero sense of humour. Lighten up man
This is too round for me, if you notice most modern cars are going back to sharp-edged squared bodies. This could be good back in early to mid-2000s. Everybody knows ford escape reliability. The best thing is lincoln continental, they should have made a lincoln continental suv which would give Lexus good competition.
Depends. Porche not so much
Give it time, and round is going to be "in" again.
Deepsea or submariner?
Close, vintage Tudor submariner blue "snowflake" from the mid 1970s. I do have a Sea Dweller though...
@@Motormouth... Great choice! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I've seen the new Speedmaster in some of the videos.
@@ericdhadden yes, I have a lot of watches, it's an addiction...
Car manufacturers really have to quit it with the glossy black plastics and button gear shifters. Give us some aluminum or real wood trim, and a physical stick gear shifter. Stop with these ridiculous design trends. They make the driving experience worse.
I really don't like this button shifter. I was in the Mazda CX-30 today with a traditional shifter and I don't even have to look down to shift, it's so natural.
@@andreaspencer9813 Same here. Also, the other issue is they won't even let buyers customize the dashboard trim. The glossy black plastics are atrocious.
I just can't figure out why they will not give up that black gloss. WOOD does not belong inside or outside on any car!
@@andreaspencer9813 that's true, for me I like the buttons over the dial but there's no replacement for the traditional shifter
No need to put an older "pensioned" label to this or any vehicules. Some younger folks drive boring sedans and others still drive up their 2 seater sports cars all thru most of their retirement 😉.
Yes some of us "pensioners" still drive sports and sporty cars!
I like the car but I would take the Q5e over it
Zac, I like your sentiment "work with your dealer".
It’s like working with an ex wife.🤣 she might let you keep "a" testicle.
I would easily take Lexus NH hybrid over this any day. Makes no sense why Lincoln is more expensive while being inferior at everything.
How so? I have you driven both models back to back? Lincoln has much better after sales service
I’ve been shopping for vehicles this week. Went to many dealership. Here in Texas, this Lincoln is less expensive than the Lexus is.
The body looks odd. Almost as if someone crossed a minivan w a suv
I’m collecting my pension, and I am looking at a Corsair. Wanna make something outofit ? Eh? Eh?
I'd buy a classic eighties Lincoln town car, before I'd buy this mess. No. Thank you.
My choice from Lincoln is Aviator. The exterior of this Corsair is not impressed me it is too plain for luxury SUV.
Looks like a Jag
Another polluting hybrid!
What a shame
emm，ford phev model is like toyota ths hybrid . the oil cost is 1/2 comparing with nomrmal ice car when the battery is out off。
Do you heat your house?
Breathing is polluting.
That’s one ugly looking engine setup
I have had one for 97000 miles, works perfectly.
What a piece of garbage, why bother. If you can plug in daily at home get a real EV. The range is a joke and once you use up the EV range with some spirited driving its a gas pig so any benefit of an EV is gone and your still using a lot of gas. You also need to maintain a full ICE engine and a complicated hybrid setup.
"IF" you can plug in daily at home! At 34 miles/gallon for a car this size it is not a gas pig. I have the same hybrid system in my car and after 97000 miles and it works perfectly. The maintenance on my hybrid is much less than a any gas car. My experience
UPDATE: I now own a 2022 corsair gt and get 36-46 miles of electric range. Great car.
