Sales of luxury C-segment crossovers contracted four percent to 77,340 units in Q2 2024, meaning Lincoln Corsair sales outperformed the segment average.
Lincoln Corsair sales pushed the small luxury crossover into the top five during Q2 2024, up a spot from the previous quarter to hold its own against some stiff competition. It placed ahead of crosstown rival Cadillac XT4 but behind the Buick Envision. Furthermore, combining sales of those models pushed GM into second place.
Corsair Production decreased in April and in May, potentially impacting sales, but increased in June.
The refreshed 2023 Lincoln Corsair features a number of substantial changes, including revised exterior styling, a redesigned interior, standard Sync 4 infotainment, and the addition of the luxury brand’s BlueCruise hands-free highway driving feature, which now offers lane-changing and more as part of the 1.2 update. It adds new Whisper Blue Metallic and new Crystal Red Metallic paint colors.
The 2025 Lincoln Corsair arrives largely unchanged from the 2023 update, but ditches Active Park Assist 2.0 and drops two paint colors, while adding new Crystal White and new Harbor Gray.
Weather and track conditions just weren't ideal.
The automaker has made improvements to that part, however.
A move that stems from design changes.
It stays with the vehicle, not the owner.
The automaker argues these moves are needed to reach the country's ZEV goals.

I've mentioned before so let's do it again. Best Lincoln ever! We love our 2023 Gran Touring. I suggest Lincoln keeping the Corsair as one of it's offering (heard rumors of canceling) and think about only make PHEVs to make it a strong contender for the future. The feel and response of our PHEV is just so quality and luxurious, totally enjoy! Thanks you Diane and the whole Lincoln Team.

I agree that it's an excellent vehicle. But people want choices so a hybrid and the reliable 2.0 ICE that has powered the MKC and now the Corsair should all be available to future luxury compact buyers.
