- Lincoln has introduced the facelifted 2027 Corsair.
- It features revised styling and a $7,310 price hike.
- Chinese-made crossover has a 305 hp hybrid system.
Less than two weeks after announcing plans to stop importing vehicles from China, Lincoln is doing an about-face and introducing the 2027 Corsair Hybrid. While it’s predecessor was made in America, the ‘new’ model hails from China – just like the Nautilus.
Looking instantly recognizable, the facelifted crossover drops the whiskers and sports an all-new front end that closely resembles the outgoing Nautilus. This means it has a wider and more attractive grille as well as slimmer headlights that flow into the nose. We can also see a new hood and a ‘smiling’ lower intake.

Moving further back, the crossover has been equipped with new 18-, 19-, and 20-inch wheels. They’re joined by a new rear bumper, a hidden exhaust, and revamped taillights with integrated “Lincoln” lettering. Buyers will also find five new colors known as Chroma Flame Red, Manhattan Green, Nocturnal Blue, Tinted Copper, and White Platinum.
Americans Miss Out On The Fancier, Chinese Interior
Interestingly, the US-spec model eschews the high-tech cabin found on the Chinese variant. Overseas, it sports a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster as well as a 27-inch panoramic display, which consists of an infotainment system and a front passenger screen.
Americans get an old school interior with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch infotainment system. We can also see a dated steering wheel, carryover switchgear, and an old dashboard.
That’s kind of a bummer and it comes off as penny-pinching. However, the crossover is equipped with a dual-zone automatic climate control system and heated “soft touch seats” with 10-way power adjustment.

An assortment of options will be available including heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a universal garage door opener. Buyers can also get rain-sensing wipers, a head-up display, and a 14-speaker Revel premium audio system.
Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.0-liter hybrid engine that produces 305 hp (227 kW / 309 PS). It’s connected to a continuously variable transmission and a standard all-wheel drive system. The model also comes equipped with BlueCruise 1.5, which allows for hands-free driving and automatic lane changes.
The 2027 Corsair Hybrid arrives in America early next year and pricing starts at $46,495 before a $2,295 destination fee. That’s a huge jump as the 2026 model began at $40,735 and only had a $1,495 delivery charge. This means customers need to shell out an additional $7,310 for what amounts to a modest facelift.
