2020 Lincoln Corsair
The 2020 Lincoln Corsair is a compact premium crossover from Lincoln, replacing the Lincoln MKC. The all-new 2020 Lincoln Corsair has a quiet and sharp look in the interior, but it has a dull handling and slim base engine compared to most competitors. As a result, the 2020 Corsair is in the lower half of the luxury compact SUV class. With the launch, the Corsair will be available in two finishes with two engine choices. But it’s not as simple as it sounds: each trim level has a few core packages that change what other options are available.
The standard Corsair, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and front-wheel drive. You get a good amount of standard equipment, from the touch screen infotainment system and power front seats to active safety aids and full LED headlights.

If there is a downside, it’s that the Corsair has some hard-plastic parts in some places, which detract from the luxury appeal.

The front seats have standard 10-way power adjustments, and you can opt for 24-way power adjustments. The driver has great visibility in all directions. Passengers in the second row are also treated to large head and legroom. The rear seats of the Corsair slide backward to create up to 6 inches of rear legroom, which is unique to a two-row vehicle. Standard infotainment features include Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a premium stereo with 10 speakers. The list of options includes navigation, a panoramic roof, a 14-speaker Revel stereo, a 12.3-inch digital instruments cluster, wireless charging, and a home-style connection.
