Overview
The American car market has seen an upward trend in the sub-strata of luxury, practicality, and affordability. Hitting a bulls-eye in this niche is the 2021 Lincoln Corsair - an American crossover that slots as the most affordable in the line-up. The Corsair came as a much-needed replacement to the Lincoln MKC in 2020 and brought in a bevy of tech upgrades, including a smart unlock mechanism. The Corsair is, like the MKC, based on the Ford Escape but the luxury inside is worlds ahead of what the latter has to offer.
The prices for this luxury SUV start at $36,200 and bring in three trims - Corsair, Reserve, and Grand Touring - and two powertrain options. The Grand Touring trim is AWD-only and sits atop the hierarchy at nearly $51,000. The price point of the Corsair puts it against the Acura RDX, the Cadillac XT4, and the BMW X3. Let’s see how well the American entrant performs against its rivals and see if it’s worth its asking price.
