The Lincoln Corsair is a compact SUV that combines cutting-edge technology, refined performance, and elegant design. Despite being the smallest Lincoln SUV, it has carved out a significant niche for itself among luxury vehicle enthusiasts. For the 2025 model year, the Corsair received several upgrades that enhance its appeal. This article takes a closer look at the new Lincoln Corsair, paying special attention to its notable changes, to help you make an informed decision.
Introduction to the 2025 Model
The 2025 Lincoln Corsair retains many of the features of the 2024 model. The changes are largely cosmetic. This may be due to the Corsair being a relatively new model — introduced in 2019 — and the fact that Lincoln has been making improvements to it every year.
For example, the 2021 Corsair featured a plug-in hybrid variant, while the 2022 model improved some of the packages available. The 2023 Corsair saw more changes, including a redesigned exterior and updated tech and engine options. For the 2024 model year, the Corsair's base trim became the Premiere, and Lincoln added two more years to the Lincoln BlueCruise complimentary subscription. Looking at the history of the Corsair, it's clear that Lincoln has created a vehicle that appeals to a wide range of drivers.
Exterior Design
The 2025 Lincoln Corsair's sleek lines and aerodynamic silhouette give it an elegant, modern look. Features such as LED lighting, dual exhaust, a power liftgate, and heated auto-folding side mirrors are standard on certain trims. A panoramic Vista Roof, rain-sensing wipers, and mirror-mounted LED turn signal indicators may also be available on one or more of the Corsair's trim levels.
Wheel options vary by trim and include 18-, 19-, and 20-inch versions with different designs. Looking at dimensions, the 2025 Corsair Premiere is slightly taller at 64.1 inches compared to the Touring model's 63.8 inches. Both model years have a length of 181.4 inches and a width of 83.0 inches, including mirrors.
Most of the changes to the latest Corsair affect the outside of the SUV, with exterior colors Harbor Gray and Crystal White replacing Ceramic Pearl and Silver Radiance. Other exterior paint choices include Asher Gray, Infinite Black, Pristine White, Red Carpet, and Whisper Blue. The Jet Appearance package is now available on the top-tier Grand Touring trim. This option features distinct black or body-color exterior accents and 20-inch black aluminum wheels.
Interior Features
The 2025 Lincoln Corsair's cabin exudes luxury with its use of premium materials such as leather seating and wood accents. Ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats with memory settings and lumbar support, and a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel add to the vehicle's premium feel. Available features such as Perfect Position seats, a frameless rearview mirror, and Auto Air Refresh contribute to the Corsair's upscale interior.
The Corsair is a five-seater SUV that offers plenty of space with 102.5 cubic feet of passenger capacity. In terms of cargo space, it can carry up to 57.6 cubic feet of cargo behind the front seats. All these interior features and capacities are similar to the 2024 Corsair.
Performance and Engine Options
Like its predecessor, the latest Lincoln Corsair comes with two engine options. The base engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This delivers up to 250 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque. The EPA-estimated fuel economy for a front-wheel-drive Corsair with this powertrain is 22 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined. The all-wheel-drive version registered slightly lower mileage figures of 21, 28, and 24 mpg, respectively.
The other engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with an electric motor and a continuously variable transmission. This plug-in hybrid powertrain is standard on the Corsair Grand Touring trim and produces a total output of 266 hp. With just the gas engine, this hybrid model can deliver a combined fuel economy of 33 mpg. With the plug-in hybrid setup, the Corsair can achieve an impressive 80 MPGe.
Safety Features
The 2025 Corsair comes with Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.1. This consists of numerous safety features, including automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot information system, a lane-keeping system, and pre-collision assist. The available Co-Pilot360 2.1 Vision adds a 360-degree camera, reverse brake assist, and parking sensors to the already extensive list of features. Another available driver-assist technology is the hands-free driving system Lincoln BlueCruise 1.2, updated to include in-lane repositioning and lane-change assist.
Technology and Infotainment
The 2025 Lincoln Corsair offers many of the same tech features as in the 2023 and 2024 models. These include the SYNC 4 infotainment system with a 13.2-inch touch screen, enhanced voice recognition, navigation, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other standard features are a 12.3-inch cluster display, a nine-speaker audio system, and USB ports for charging and connectivity.
Limited-time subscriptions to SiriusXM, Connected Service, and Alexa Built-In are also included. These ensure that the Corsair's driver and passengers stay connected and entertained on the road. Notable options include a wireless charging pad and a 14-speaker Revel sound system.
Trim Levels and Pricing
The 2025 Lincoln Corsair is available in three trims. The base Premiere trim (with a starting MSRP of $39,385) includes essential features such as the latest SYNC 4 system, Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.1, Lincoln Connect, and Lincoln Embrace. The Reserve trim ($46,540) builds upon the Premiere and adds luxury touches such as leather upholstery and a head-up display. The top-of-the-line Grand Touring trim ($54,265) includes a hybrid powertrain for those seeking eco-friendly performance. Compared to the pricing of the 2024 Corsair, the 2025 trims have slightly higher starting MSRPs.
