Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Corsair finally gains its Grand Touring plug-in-hybrid model for 2021. The powertrain consists of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor, a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), and standard all-wheel drive. Lincoln is also introducing two new appearance packages.

Pros
Looks fantastic,
chassis delivers a plush ride,
upscale interior with plenty of features.

Cons
Uplevel models priced against more desirable rivals,
handling isn't as lively as it could be,
upgraded engine does little for performance.

Cons
Gas mileage is middling
Gets pricey, quickly
SUV-ish
Not sporty like RDX or X3

Pros
Huge back seat for its subcompact designation,
generous cargo storage,
really good fuel-economy figures.

Acceleration isn't as spunky as some rivals,
some chintzy cabin materials,
maladroit dual-clutch automatic.
