Design of 2023 Lincoln Corsair PHEV Photo: D.Boshouwers Exterior of the 2023 Lincoln Corsair PHEVOther than an extra port for the charging, there’s no visible difference between the regular and the PHEV Corsair. This is a handsome, well-proportioned SUV not radically different from the majority of compact crossovers out there. From the reasonably sized front-grille to the thin headlights to the relatively low-and-wide stance of the vehicle, the Corsair is done in good taste.

Off-the-line acceleration is fine, the horses on offer enough to handle the weight of the vehicle. Ditto for highway passing; you won’t feel the need to time your passes carefully.
