The Ford Authority Take
Q2 2023 wasn’t overly kind to Lincoln Corsair sales. As has been the case for quite a while now, this is a direct result of the production stoppage for the refreshed crossover, as software issues with their digital instrument clusters prevented them from being shipped to dealers. As reported by Ford Authority, production of the 2023 Corsair was still severely constrained in April, although things are gradually improving at the Louisville Assembly plant. Assembly of the Corsair increased in both May and June 2023, although it seems this wasn’t enough to make a positive impact on sales of the luxury crossover last quarter.
However, once supply ramps up to keep pace with demand, we expect that the refreshed 2023 Lincoln Corsair will drive interest in the luxury crossover later on in the calendar year. The new model features a number of attractive changes, including revised exterior styling, a redesigned interior, standard Sync 4 infotainment.

Comments
I wonder how many sales dropping the 2.3L cost.
Corsair and Aviator are both facing severe production shortfalls this year, although I believe Corsair is back to full production now. Aviator and Explorer issues however are ongoing and worsening.
Ford does not hav a competing product in any segment . They are not a full size SUV and truck company only . After driving my new 23 Escape for 3 months , it’s a cheaply built vehicle, and the hybrid gets 25% less mpg than the sticker states. Retired from Ford, never buying another one , they offer no small SUVs except the Corsair and Escape, and they are subpar vehicles that they could not even built any for almost 6 months. Ford won’t exist in 10-15 years , they only cut products and the ones they do build get worse each cycle
Yeah, MJ not buying another Ford until it’s time to use another A/Z Plan discount. But, Ford does need to get into the ‘starting at $21,900 market’ like Chevy’s Trax. Production shortfalls killed the dealerships. Quality sucks. Ford really can’t fix and release 2022 Explorers and Aviators? Morons. Client’s that did not place Orders 4 months in advanced suffered. Ford and Lincoln trying like hell to kept renewal lease business, but is losing sales to Traverse and others. Especially, retail sales. FMCC needs to lower lease money factor lease rates. $10K sticker increase on all but entry F-150 is killing dealers. Fawley needs to retire and go live in a van down by the river. The board needs to be replaced.
Marty…2.3 didn’t cost Corsair any sales.
I have been shopping the $40K-$42K utility vehicle segment. Looked at the Corsair and the Explorer. I can get a 2023 Explorer XLT 4WD for $4K less than a Corsair AWD Standard. Why wouldn’t I choose the Explorer over the Corsair? More room, utility, and the 2.3L instead of the 2.0L. I may be giving up some “luxury” touches, but would pick the Explorer over the Corsair.
Before we bought our ’22 Corsair Grand Touring, we tested a Lexus NX, Audi Q5, and Volvo XC60. We were looking specifically for luxury PHEV, so Cadillac, Buick, Mercedes, BMW weren’t in the mix. The Lincoln Corsair far exceeded the Lexus and Audi in the luxury aspect. The Audi is a nice car but plagued with some really cheap interior elements. The Lexus just isn’t a luxury vehicle. It is a high-end sporty vehicle, with a very choppy and noisy ride. The Volvo is very nice, but at time it’s PHEV ability was very lacking compared to the Lincoln.
We love our Corsair Grand Touring and we’re very happy we chose it.
