Lincoln Corsair

For 2027, with exterior refreshed, the Corsair has a new 305-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid engine with all-wheel drive across the line. The previous 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine that shared with the Ford Escape is gone. The plug-in hybrid is also discontinued. The previous turbo Corsair had responsive handling, rode very comfortably, and was quiet inside. Lincoln's active driving assistance system, BlueCruise, is included for four years.

This upscale version of the Ford Escape comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine that provides plenty of motivation. A plug-in hybrid with an EPA-estimated 27 miles of electric range is also available. The Corsair has responsive handling, rides very comfortably, and is quiet inside. The front seats aren't ideal because the bottom cushion loses support on longer drives. The rear seat is adjustable fore and aft, and the seatback reclines. Fit and finish is impressive, and, adding flair, the center stack appears to be floating in the air.
