Lincoln's refreshed entry-level SUV continues to put luxury far ahead of driver involvement.
Lincoln's been doing a credible job of dressing the interiors of its cars—whoops, SUVs—for its upmarket mission, and there was no arguing our tester's accommodations. The roomy, two-row interior sports handsome, modern lines and was swathed in ritzy two-tone Ebony/Smoked Truffle leather, a black-taupe mix that sounds like something you'd hear about on. There's good-looking wood on the dash and classy bits of bright trim scattered throughout. All Corsairs get a 12.
The big-ticket item on our test car was Equipment Group 202A , which adds an avalanche of upmarket features—as it should at that price. The goodies include a head-up display, panoramic sunroof, 14-speaker Revel Audio system, heated-and-ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, adaptive dampers, a heated steering wheel, and smartphone-as-key functionality. Most important is the inclusion of adaptive cruise control with ActiveGlide, Lincoln's hands-free self-driving feature .
Refresh or not, the Corsair drives just like it did when we last aimed it down the highway more than three years ago. It's a luxury-first chariot that's cosseting and comfortable but makes no attempt to involve the part of you that likes to drive. Steering feel is muted, and response to the helm is relaxed. Get it out on a smooth interstate and you'll notice just a hint of float to the ride.
At the test track, the all-wheel-drive Corsair turns in a performance that won't raise anyone's pulse but is about average for many of the vehicles in this segment, with a 60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and a quarter-mile sprint of 14.7 seconds at 93 mph. The engine does work well with the eight-speed automatic and is a subdued and distant presence through most of its rev range. The Reserve's 0.
