2022 Lincoln Corsair PHEV Review: Who's Buying?

Auto123 reviews the 2022 Lincoln Corsair PHEV.

With plug-in hybrid SUVs multiplying on the market, consumers are faced with an interesting array of choices.

Normally and logically, you would expect them to go for the model that suits them best, after factoring in elements such as price, style, equipment, image, driving style, etc. Except that with the current supply-chain crisis and waiting times for certain models stretching to 12, even 24 months, those traditional criteria may be getting shoved aside in many cases.

In other words, the top consideration for many buyers now is, “Can I get it soon?” That might be one factor that helps the cause of the plug-in hybrid version of the Lincoln Corsair, because otherwise, it’s legitimate to wonder if enough folks care about it, outside die-hard Lincoln brand fans.

Because, the reality is that if buyers are interested first and foremost in a model that offers some electric range, they can go for the PHEV version of the Ford Escape, for the Toyota RAV4 Prime (although they risk waiting extra-long for that one) or for the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. All of those are less expensive than the Corsair PHEV.
