Lincoln has launched the online configurator for the
new Corsair, the brand’s entry into the luxury compact crossover class. It
includes two different versions of the vehicle, called the Standard and
Reserve. Pricing kicks off from US$ 35,945 and US$ 42,630,, not
including a US$ 995 destination charge. Even the base model is decently specced,
with Co-Pilot360 driver assist technology, SYNC3 infotainment and other
standard gear.
You’ll have to settle with front-wheel drive with
the base models, as AWD is an optional extra that bumps the starting price to US$ 40,540, again, excluding destination. Power in both cases comes from the
2.0-liter engine rated at 250 horsepower and 373 Nm of torque. The
2.3-liter unit, with 280 hp and 420 Nm of torque is available for
the Corsair Reserve and selecting it, along with the all-wheel drive system,
will bring the MSRP to $50,365.
If you’re up to it and want to further attack your
bank account, then you can go for Reserve II Equipment Collection that adds
adaptive suspension, 24-way electrically adjustable front seats, Lincoln
Co-Pilot360 Plus Package and more. Then you’ll have to choose the exterior
color, wheels and options, before arriving inside, where things get even more
costly.
Mind you, by choosing every optional extra, the
price of the 2020 Lincoln Corsair can exceed the US$ 60,000 mark, which would
bring to you Mercedes-Benz GLE territory, as it starts from US$ 56,200.
