2020 Lincoln Corsair Reserve Review: So Much More Than a Fancy Ford Escape! 

So what do you think of the all-new Corsair? What's your choice in this ultra-competitive segment? - Max

Starting off by saying it's a Ford escape underneath just seems like such an unnecessary thing to say. Just say that they share platforms and that's it. No need to emphasize that. They've done an outstanding job building a different car than Ford. Great job Lincoln

I'm not sure why, but it seems many car reviewers always heavily compare Lincoln to Ford. Yet I rarely here that for Lexus and Toyota. Or Acura and Honda. Same could be said about the old Lincoln naming of vehicles. Why is it okay for Acura and Lexus, or other luxury brands, but not Lincoln? Don't get me wrong, I love the new naming they are using. But it just always seems sone reviewers ride Lincoln harder than others. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Lincoln is really knocking it out of the park lately.

This is an excellent video; however, I hate hearing all the comparison with the Ford Escape. I've had a Ford Escape which was the squeakiest car I ever owned. I've test driven the Lincoln Corsair a couple times and LOVE it. My wife has the Lincoln Nautilus and we both love it.

Excellent video Max! But, keep the “pros & cons” graphic up a bit longer. I had to rewind 3 times to read them.

I've been driving a 2020 Corsair Standard model (moderately equipped) for about a week while my Aviator is in for warranty repairs. I'm incredibly impressed with it. It's terrific looking. The little 2.0 is exceptionally smooth with more-than-enough power than it needs, the transmission shifts imperceptibly, the auto start/stop is the most unobtrusive I've ever encountered and it's very quiet on the highway. Terrific little truck.

Well i have the old iteration a 2015 Lincoln MKC AWD with the 2.0. And i absolutely love the vehicle it's the best car i've ever owned. I think Ford as a "whole" has REALLY upped there game over the last 10yrs or so. I'm not crazy about this new design. However, i did like the minor refresh for 2019 and the new grille. And honestly folks if your in the market for this vehicle there isn't that much difference between the 2.0 and the 2.3L engines. I test drove both and found it very minimal between the two. Even though were talking about 240hp vs 285hp and 270lbs torque vs 305 for the 2.3L engine. If anything it was the horsepower i felt more then the torque differences. But honestly the 2.0 is MORE then sufficient in power and torque.

Well I watched your video. Went for a road test yesterday. I just purchased the Corsair. I thought it is better then a Lexus and other imports. Time will tell in 2 to 3 years of ownership. Keep up the great videos

Geez Max, your reviews have come so far in such a short time. Just such good and honest reviews you do. Honestly excellent job!

Excellent video! I really love the looks of all the new Lincoln’s

Max !! I Love Your Awesome Reviews ❤️🤗 👍 Great Job

Max Landi ! I ❤️🤗 Your Reviews !!! 👍 Great Job !!!

All of your videos are wonderful but I especially love your videos on Lincoln's you've already reviewed the most. For the first time in my life, I could see myself possibly owning a Lincoln. Do you know when you are reviewing the Aviator?

Excellent video, Max! Another beautiful Lincoln that will be really cheap to pick up after it’s two years old.

Apparently Lincoln is making a more competitive luxury compact CUV, than Ford is making a mainstream compact CUV. I won’t even consider a Escape next to a RAV-4. I would consider this Corsair next to any small luxury CUV. Looks and design and luxury are all appropriate for Corsair and all subpar for Escape.

Great review! And I would buy one of these if I could afford it!

Great review Max....Lincoln is on the right path

That infotainment system looks Dated compared to other brands like BMW, Tesla, Mercedes and Audi

I’ll take this over the competition it’s easy to use and stylish. Go Lincoln

Rear leg room is a scotch tighter with the much thicker 24 way seat option

I would like to see more versus competitions with the Lincoln Corsair and also true winners

Did you find the keyless entry didn't really work in the snow/rain? I'm currently driving a Corsair this week too and it is acting up pretty badly because of all the snow and rain.

Nice looking vehicle

This Corsair is a fantastic beautiful Luxury SUV. I test drove and looked over the Lexus RX350, BMW X3, Range Rover and the GLC...and each of them had hard plastic on the door panels or piano black on the console or dash. So I don't quite understand why these reviewers try to make it seem as though the Corsair is the only Luxury SUV with hard plastic and piano in places...I don't get it.

Max, how quiet was it inside at highway speed? Compared to other luxury CUVs?

is this the Artisan Blue or Fight Blue?

I don’t know why anyone cares that is based on the escape. Most premium vehicle are based on lesser cars. The new ford escapes are really well built too.

So what is the Lincoln Nautilus competing with if this small CUV is competing with the X3, GLC, etc.. The wheelbase of the Corsair is too small. I think it’s only 106.5. That sounds like Lexus NX or Cadillac XT4 size.

How was it in the snow???

Are you being paid by mercury or any other co. with connections to Lincoln mercury ? Are BENEFITING any way from Lincoln mercury co.?

Maybe the Escape is based on the Lincoln platform.....hmm. I too think the constant comparison to it's Ford cousin is getting soooooooooooooooooo freaking old.

Interesting vehicle. It looks impressive. But the price point is... ‘somewhat’ high. After all, looking at historical resale values.... this after 4 years will retain far less value, than a Lexus. Even when compared to the Germans. This or a Telluride/Palisade? Let alone their new GV80. Thanks for the video.

I commented to get a heart

Lincoln is reliable.. No thank you BMW!

I have one and absolutely hate it. The transmission is slippery in low speeds. The car rattles in the cold. I’d stay away. My lease can’t end soon enough.

Very handsome.

Why are they calling this a "compact Suv" It's a wagon....not a bad thing...

Why was the check engine light on..lol ( money pit??)

Can somebody explain to me the extreme paranoia and in some cases, pathological hatred some people have about Ford/Lincoln using the same power window switches?

Another SUV with less capacity than a Prius. Really?

It’s not a Ford Escape , just like a Lexus SUV ‘s are not Toyota’s ! Just like a Acura is not a Honda ! Too much unnecessary criticism!

Would probably look at an Acura rdx before this one
