Lincoln Corsair Hybrid: Luxury That Recharges Itself
How do the Lincoln Corsair Hybrid trim levels differ?
The difference comes down to appearance: wheels and cabin features. The Lincoln Corsair Hybrid Premiere rides on 18- or 19-inch Bright Machined wheels, while the Lincoln Corsair Hybrid Reserve moves up to 19- or 20-inch designs and adds leather-trimmed seating, ambient lighting, and the Stellar Sun interior theme. Either model can wear the Jet Appearance Package for a blacked-out look.
A Presence That Precedes You
You'll make a lasting impression the moment you pull into view, thanks to the Lincoln Corsair Hybrid's structural front grille and sculpted contours projecting a poised, commanding presence as you arrive at a business meeting or pull up to a weekend dinner reservation. Lincoln Embrace extends the greeting, sweeping light across the grille, badge, and ground beneath the doors as you approach.
Personalize yours with an expanded palette of classic shades alongside distinctive hues such as:
- Chroma Flame Red
- Nocturnal Blue
- Manhattan Green
- Tinted Copper
The Jet Appearance Package darkens exterior elements for drivers who prefer subtle distinction over flash: ideal for evening dinners, downtown galleries, or a scenic Sunday drive.
Your Rolling Retreat
Slipping into the cabin feels like arriving at your own private spa: standard heated Lincoln Soft Touch front seats with driver's memory, dual-zone climate control, and Symphonic Chimes set the tone. Available Perfect Position 24-way front seats with Active Motion® massage take personalized comfort further, and these available amenities elevate the experience:
- Ventilated front seats
- Auto Air Refresh
- Panoramic Vista Roof®
- Ambient lighting
Every drive gains texture from the piano key shifter and available wood accents paired with leather in Ebony, Medium Light Space Gray, or Stellar Sun, a sensory radiance that turns even a routine commute into time you look forward to.
What does FHEV mean?
An FHEV, or Full Hybrid Electric Vehicle, is a self-charging hybrid that pairs a gas engine with an electric motor, no plugging in required. The battery recharges through regenerative braking and the gas engine. The Lincoln Corsair Hybrid can run on electric power alone at lower speeds, with the gas engine stepping in when you accelerate.
Power That Reads the Road
A 2.0L Turbocharged High Output full hybrid engine delivers a best-in-class standard 305 total combined horsepower through a Continuously Variable Transmission, so merging and passing happen on your terms. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive comes standard on the Lincoln Corsair Hybrid, automatically shifting power between the front and rear wheels as changing road and weather conditions call for it.
Lincoln Drive Modes let you set the tone from behind the wheel, adjusting throttle response, transmission shifting, steering feel, and electronic stability control. Choose Normal for daily driving, Conserve to stretch each tank, or Excite when the drive itself is the point. The Lincoln Corsair Hybrid adapts to the drive you're in the mood for.
Fueled by Its Own Momentum
The Lincoln Corsair Hybrid moves between gas, electric, and both at once without asking anything of you. Its hybrid system engages the moment the gas engine can rest, which is why hybrids do their finest work in stop-and-go city traffic: the electric motor handles low-speed crawling while the gas engine pauses at a standstill.
Because it's a full hybrid, the battery replenishes itself as you drive, so a plug never enters the picture. Regenerative braking captures energy each time you slow, routing it back to the battery while easing wear on the brakes over time. You may enjoy driving the Lincoln Corsair Hybrid so much that you volunteer to chauffeur co-workers or friends.
How does Lincoln BlueCruise work?
On designated highways, Lincoln BlueCruise handles the steering, accelerating, and braking within your lane so you can take your hands off the wheel. An infrared camera tracks your eye gaze and head position to confirm you're watching the road, and clear prompts in the instrument cluster let you know when it's time to take back control.
Connected, Charged, and Content
Front seat or back, everyone on board gets what they need from the Lincoln Corsair Hybrid's cabin technology:
- 13.2-inch center touchscreen
- SYNC® 4
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
- 4 USB ports
- Wireless charging pad
A 4-year Lincoln Connectivity Package rounds it out with Connected Navigation, an unlimited Wi-Fi® hotspot, and Alexa built-in.
The 9-speaker Lincoln Premium Audio System fills the cabin with clear, balanced sound for podcasts and playlists alike, and the available Revel® Audio System takes it further with 14 speakers plus a subwoofer, tuning the interior so each note lands exactly as the artist intended.
A Second Set of Eyes
Lincoln Co-Pilot360® Drive 2.0 comes standard on the Lincoln Corsair Hybrid, watching the road alongside you, including those hard-to-see areas:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
- Lane-Keeping System
Four years of class-exclusive Lincoln BlueCruise with Automatic Lane Change are included, and Consumer Reports rated it the top assisted-driving system tested.** On roughly 130,000 miles of divided North American highways, you can drive hands-free while keeping your eyes on the road, letting long stretches pass with far less effort.
