THE 2025 LINCOLN CORSAIR GT IS AN UPSCALE HYBRID SUV IN NEED OF MORE RANGE & POWER

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Lincoln Corsair GT presents itself as an upscale plug-in hybrid SUV, but the review highlights several areas where it falls short of modern competitors. While the GT trim offers a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a combined 266 horsepower and standard electronic all-wheel drive, its real-world electric-only range of approximately 19-24 miles is significantly less than the advertised 28 miles and trails far behind rivals like the Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e. Performance is adequate with a 0-60 mph time of around 6.2 seconds, but it's the slowest in its class. The interior boasts luxurious features like 24-way massaging seats and a quiet cabin, but suffers from dated infotainment software, noticeable Ford influences in switchgear, and concerns about build quality with squeaks and rattles reported. Exterior styling is deemed somewhat bland, though an appearance package could liven it up. Despite its higher price point for the hybrid model (starting around $54,000), the Corsair GT is positioned as a more affordable option compared to its direct luxury plug-in hybrid competitors, saving buyers $5,000-$8,000. However, the reviewer suggests that a next-generation model heavily influenced by the newer Nautilus design and improved build quality is needed to truly compete.
