2025 LINCOLN CORSAIR PLUG-IN HYBRID RANGE TEST: BEATING EXPECTATIONS

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring Plug-In Hybrid surprises by exceeding its EPA-estimated electric-only range, achieving 27.7 miles on a 91-degree day with AC usage. While this is a positive outcome, the reviewer notes that the Corsair's electric-only acceleration is somewhat lacking, particularly at higher speeds, and it's not as effortless as some competitors. The vehicle's ride quality is praised for its compliance and ability to isolate occupants from rough pavement, and the Lincoln Blue Cruise system is highlighted as a standout feature, offering advanced hands-free driving capabilities with manual lane changes. Despite meeting its range target, the reviewer concludes that the Corsair's power output in EV mode is merely adequate and falls short of more potent rivals. When compared to the Lexus NX PHEV, which offers more range and a comparable price point, the reviewer would lean towards the NX, citing the Corsair's less refined electric performance as a key drawback.
