Overview

Armed with a 2.5L Inline-4 engine, a 14.4-kWh battery, and a dual-motor system, fused to a CVT, the 2021 Lincoln Corsair PHEV makes 266 horsepower. Standalone, the engine makes 165 horsepower while the front electric motor manages 129 horsepower, and the rear electric motor supplies 67 horsepower. This powertrain helps the 2021 Lincoln Corsair plug-in hybrid cover 0-60 in 7.0 seconds. You can drive the Corsair plug-in hybrid for 28 miles on the electric system alone, making it good for small trips in the city. Combined, the Corsair plug-in hybrid achieves an impressive 78 MPGE combined while getting 33 MPG from the traditional engine alone. With a base price of MSRP of $50,390, the Corsair plug-in hybrid makes a formidable competitor in the compact SUV segment, competing with the likes of the Ford Escape plug-in hybrid, the BMW X3 xDrive30e plug-in hybrid, the Volvo XC60 Recharge PHEV, and the Audi Q5 PHEV. 

Buying Advice

With standalone trim, the Lincoln Corsair PHEV offers 19-inch alloy wheels, adaptive suspension, panoramic sunroof, an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 14-speaker Revel audio system, and power heated front seats. Our recommendation is the $4,200 equipment package that adds windshield wiper de-icer, heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, rain-sensing wipers, evasive steering assist, lane centering, and speed sign recognition.
