After undergoing a midcycle refresh for the 2023 model year, the 2025 Lincoln Corsair soldiers on largely unchanged – although it does sport some important cosmetic updates. In fact, the luxury crossover drops the standard chrome roof rack side rails found on its 2024 predecessor.
Bright Chrome Roof Rack Side Rails were previously standard on certain Corsair trims, affixed to the roofs of both the Reserve and Grand Touring models regardless of configuration. However, these have been completely removed from the 2025 Lincoln Corsair, though the luxury crossover still offers roof rails.
The 2025 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring now features Black Roof Side Rails as standard, which are included with all equipment groups offered on the range-topping model. Those same Black Roof Side Rails are standard on the Corsair Reserve III (202A) and are optional on the Reserve II (201A) equipment group, but only as part of the $1,700 Panoramic Vista Roof with Power Sunshade bundle.
Adding the Panoramic Vista Roof is also the only way to acquire the roof rack side rails on the entry level 2025 Lincoln Corsair Premiere. This option costs $1,700, and is only offered on the Premiere II (101A) equipment group.
As Ford Authority previously reported, the 2025 Lincoln Corsair offers a number of optional packages as well as a bevy of wheel options, powertrains, and exterior paint colors. Pricing for the luxury crossover starts at $41,805, including destination freight charges – although it can cost over $60,000, depending on configuration.
Aside from the Lincoln Corsair does get a few other changes, including the deletion of Active Park Assist 2.0. It also lost two exterior colors from its lineup, although these were subsequently replaced by two new ones known as Harbor Gray Metallic Clearcoat and Crystal White Metallic Clearcoat. Its Sandstone interior is no more, replaced by a new colorway known as Light Smoked Truffle.
However, the luxury crossover gets extended trial periods for Lincoln Premium Connectivity, which is a part of the Connected Services plan. Lincoln Premium Connectivity adds select digital features to new Lincoln vehicles, including things like connected-built-in navigation, BlueCruise, Alex Built-In, SiriusXM, and Wi-Fi hot spots.

The Decontenting Department’s daily announcement.
Well put. We owned two of the last good examples, nearly identical 2021 and 2022 specimens – which unfortunately were both approved for repurchase due to unresolvsble electronics issues. To replace them with a current version only would be a reminder of how much better a product it was just a couple of years ago.
Perhaps in lower spec but I find the perfect position seats to be at once very comfortable and supportive. YMMV.
The Corsair is pretty enough however the seats (to me) are like sitting on a rock compared to some of its brethren.
I realize brand profitability is an essential mandate and few have farther to go than Lincoln. But how many times does Ford need to remind itself that serially cheapening and decontenting product merely hastens its race to the bottom?
2022 was the last decent model year to buy a Corsair before the 2.3L that made it such an engaging drive was pulled altogether. Since then, even without COVID constraints, the onus has been squarely upon eliminating bits Lincoln thinks owners won’t notice – while jacking up prices astronomically despite resoundingly losing the value proposition battle.
