2022 LINCOLN CORSAIR PHEV REVIEW // SOME UPDATES FOR 2023

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Lincoln Corsair PHEV, specifically the Grand Touring trim, is presented as a comfortable and spacious luxury compact SUV with a quiet ride, thanks to its adaptive suspension. Reviewers highlight its traditional American luxury feel, comfortable seats suitable for long journeys, and a premium Revel audio system. The plug-in hybrid system, with 266 combined horsepower and a 14.4 kWh battery offering approximately 45 km of EV range, is noted for its smooth operation and the gas engine's infrequent intrusion in EV mode. Standard AWD is a plus. However, significant drawbacks are identified: the 8-inch touchscreen and Sync 3 system are considered outdated and too small for the luxury segment, with wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto being a step behind competitors. The push-button shifter's placement is also criticized for being inconvenient. While the exterior is generally praised, the grille is deemed a bit small. The vehicle is positioned against competitors like the Volvo XC60 PHEV, Audi Q5e, and Lexus NX PHEV, with the latter excelling in technology. The review suggests waiting for the 2023 model for expected updates, including a larger touchscreen and Sync 4.
