As a result you hardly hear the engine, unless you bury the accelerator, and even in the Corsair’s sportier “excite” mode the 4-cylinder is muted. Cabin noise is particularly low, Lincoln having used acoustically laminated glass in both the windshield and front side windows, a dual-wall dashboard, and active noise cancelation. It wouldn’t be my choice for sportier driving, but it feels a grown-up, confident ride. Drop the seats down, and that expands to 57.6 cubic feet. Rear seats up, there’s 27.6 cubic feet of cargo space enough for four golf bags or four large suitcases. It allows the Corsair to boast more second-row legroom than both the Acura and the Lexus – or, indeed, larger SUVs from the segment above.

There’s a full six inches of adjustment fore and aft, and Lincoln offers both a 60/40 fold-flat and a split-bench option. That’s most notable in the second-row, where the Corsair offers sliding seating. Both engines have five drive modes – normal, conserve, excite, slippery, and deep – which adjust steering, engine response, transmission shifts, and other settings.Ĭompared to its predecessor, more flexible interior space is one of the key improvements. That bumps the numbers up to 295 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, keeps the same transmission, and comes with AWD as standard. An outlier in the segment, Lincoln offers a 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine as a $1,140 upgrade on the Corsair.
