Ford's premium brand continues its hard lean into its heritage by bringing plush and quiet interiors into the growing small SUV market.
Lincoln unveiled a new small sport utility vehicle called the Corsair at the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday, in a bid to keep revitalizing its brand and recreate some of the success it has seen with larger vehicles such as the Navigator.
Lincoln is also playing up the vehicle's smooth ride, made possible by a new suspension system and a part-time all-wheel drive system that adjusts to road and weather conditions. The Corsair comes with either a 2.0 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder that makes 250 horsepower and a 2.3 liter turbo four that makes 280 hp. Both engines come with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Lincoln has not decided whether the plug-in version will be performance-focused, as is the case with the hybrid version of the larger Aviator. In more recent decades, however, Lincoln was considered an"also-ran" that ditched its roots and mistakenly tried to compete with other luxury makers, especially those from Germany and Japan. But Lincoln had a hit in the redesigned Navigator full-size SUV in 2018, and is rolling out several more similar vehicles in various sizes and price points.
