User Manual Lincoln 2021 Corsair

The Corsair sees some options-package changes for 2022. The new Luxury package is optional on Reserve and Grand Touring models and includes a head-up display and a 13-speaker Revel stereo system, while a more comprehensive Elements Technology package is new to the Grand Touring trim and adds LED fog lamps, a hands-free power liftgate, rear heated seats, a heated steering wheel, adaptive LED headlamps, 24-way Perfect Position front seats, additional USB ports, ambient interior lighting, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a wireless smartphone charging pad. Bronze Smoke Metallic, Elite Blue Metallic, and Ocean Drive Blue Metallic replace Artisan Blue, Burgundy Velvet, and Iced Mocha on the color palette.
The Reserve trim is where it's at. For the large step up in price, Lincoln provides several must-have items such as 19-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a hands-free power liftgate, fog lamps, a 14-speaker Revel stereo system, in-dash navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, a power-adjustable steering column, genuine wood interior trim, and heated front seats covered in Bridge of Weir leather with 10-way power adjustability and memory settings for the driver. From there, we'd exercise caution, as the Corsair's option packages carry big price tags. We'd also recommend sticking with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as its performance is very similar to the more expensive 2.3-liter's.

Two turbocharged four-cylinder engines from the MKC carry over. That means either a 250-hp 2.0-liter or 280-hp 2.3-liter four. Both engines come with an eight-speed automatic transmission. With the smaller engine, buyers can choose from either front- or all-wheel drive, but opting for the 2.3-liter brings all-wheel drive as standard. We tested both engines with all-wheel drive and found that their acceleration performance is almost identical; the smaller engine managed a 60-mph run in 6.1 seconds while the 2.3-liter did the deed in 6.0 seconds flat. Both are quicker than the old MKC, which delivered an adequate but unexciting 7.3-second 60-mph time. Key rivals such as the Q5 and the GLC300 are quicker and more satisfying to drive, though. The plug-in-hybrid model pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor, a CVT, and all-wheel drive.

Lincoln's standard powertrain warranty is more generous than its German rivals'. Buyers of Lincoln's Black Label models are treated to a four-year/50,000-mile complimentary scheduled maintenance plan, but because the Corsair isn't offered in the Black Label trim, its buyers will have to go out of pocket for all oil changes, tire rotations, and the like.
Limited warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles
Powertrain warranty covers six years or 70,000 miles
No complimentary scheduled maintenance
