The compact premium crossover segment (premium crossover C-segment) contracted 37 percent to 50,979 units during the first quarter of 2022, meaning the Corsair outperformed the segment average. In addition, it’s worth highlighting that the Corsair reported the smallest sales decline in the segment.
The Ford Authority Take
The decline in Q1 2022 Lincoln Corsair sales should come as no surprise as a result of ongoing constraints at the supply chain level, including but not limited to the ongoing microchip shortage, which is expected to continue for another few months. This circumstance has had a massive impact on automobile production during the last two years, resulting in substantial production cuts that then translate to near record-low inventory, record-low incentives, and record-high new vehicle prices. In fact, Lincoln parent company FoMoCo has been forced to idle a number of its plants due to these shortages. As such, it should come as no surprise that the segment saw a not-so-insignificant 37 percent contraction.
Even so, the Corsair still managed to outperform its rivals by showcasing the smallest decrease within the segment by sales volume.
It’s also worth noting that all four of Lincoln’s utility models posted a decrease during the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the aforementioned supply constraints.

Any breakdown available on 2021 and 2022 sales of the Corsair GT (PHEV)? VS other compact SUV PHEV models? Thanks
Maybe dealer gouging on the price may have something to the decline in sales.
My 2022 Corsair Grand Touring is, so far, one of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned. Daily commute is all-electric. Only using gasoline when making longer trips, so averaging over 63mpg in these first 2800 miles on the odometer.
