2020 Lincoln Corsair vs 2020 Cadillac XT5 | American Compact Luxury SUV Battle | Lincoln vs Cadillac 

Have you heard of Dieter Rams before?

They are not direct competitors. Corsair vs XT4 is more reasonable

I'll take the Lincoln.

The XT5 looks like a cartoon style car. The Lincoln is more refined. Love it!

Corsair Body with XT5 interior would be SHARP!

FWD Corsair competes with Cadillac XT4. FWD Nautilus competes with the Cadillac XT5. Aviator, Navigator, and Escalade are all RWD three-row competitors. But you could cross-shop the XT6 with the Navigator or Aviator since the Cadillac XT6 also offers third row practicality if a RWD biased platform isn’t at the top of your priorities. Lincoln doesn’t offer a FWD three-row CUV and direct competitor to the Cadillac XT6.

Just traded my 2017 XT5 for a 2021 Corsair. My wife LOVES it! Enough said.

It would have been nice to have to have the XT4 compared and not XT5, which is a model above the Corsair. You cannot compare apples to oranges

XT4 is the correct match for Corsair. I'm surprised about the author's complaints about the Lincoln seat, because they generally have great seats. The HP of the Corsair 2.3L is 295, and it has a lot more torque than the XT4 engine. This is what Autotrader says about Corsair vs XT4: Conclusion These SUVs are evenly matched in a lot of ways - the interior spaces, base engines and pricing are all very similar. However, the Corsair has enough advantages to be declared the winner over the XT4. The Lincoln has more standard driver assistance features, a fantastic optional engine upgrade and those cool tilting and sliding back seats. You can’t go wrong with either, but we think the Corsair is a better buy for most luxury shoppers.

Another great video pal. Keep them coming

I bought a 2023 Corsair Reserve AWD. I didn't test the XT4 after reading multiple reviews and test videos. The Corsair is very impressive (although pricey) when loaded. Excellent and enjoyable to drive and gorgeous interior. Interesting that this video found the Lincoln seats uncomfortable. Probably the most comfortable seats in any vehicle I have ever owned (I don't have the 24 way adjustable seats but the standard leather seats in the Corsair Reserve are outstanding). Very impressed w/Lincoln.

Great review as always. One thing to mention is the relaibility for Lincoln, not so good.

He doesn’t like the Lincoln and shows it from the beginning to the end. How can you don’t put the front seats at the same place when you test rear seats ? You have the driver front seat much more behind than the front passenger seat in the Cadillac. And every comment, except the noise, is against the Lincoln. And I don’t mention the real opponent, as several comments did…

The back seats on my XT5 actually do slide forward & back and they also recline back, push the button on the shoulder on back seats and they will recline back pretty far!! On all reviews they never mention that ! Try it out next you get in one ! I’m 6’3 and hav plenty of room when slid back and reclined. Awesome

I watched a documentary where Jonathan Ivy, Apple product designer mentioned that he was inspired by Rams. I think Steeve Jobs said something about Braun and Rams in his biography book. He was obsessed with Braun's products and Mercedes too.

Hello I have a Cadillac ST5 and yes it’s very confortable I really love it . Love your video very informative I will be trading my 2019 ST5 for the Luxury 2020 ST5 .

Nice comparison. How tall are you ??? You mention the headroom problems several times, but do not provide a point of reference as far as your height is concerned.

THE BESTTTTT LINCOLN

Why are the comments disabled on the corsair vs x3 comparison???

isn't the xt4 the direct competitor to corsair? I think you should either swap corsair for nautilus or xt5 for xt4.

You are comparing Apples to Lemons The corsair is a smaller car than the XT5. The Nautilus is the comparable car. Just sold my Nautilus and bought a XT5 because of my Lincoln Dealer being very bad.

What Cadillac dealership do you work for. Bad review of two different cars

On the xt5 you have to lock the door and hold the lock button down for 2 sec and the mirrors with fold in

Shouldn't the Corsair be competing with the XT4 and the Nautilus compete with the XT5?

That Corsair with that burgundy color...ohh my!! Great review pal

Size wise the XT5 is closer to Nautilus. But I guess price wise it isn't. I think it wouldn't be any different. Both have similar features anyways.

You're comparing apples and oranges. The corsair doesn't compete with the xt5, the Nautilus does. The Corsair competes with the XT4. The xt6 competes with the Aviator

Love your attention to details like things that might bug you later after you bought it. Would like to have heard a little more about the handling of the Corsair and the ride quality. Great vid through.

These are not direct competitors of each other. The Corsair competes with the XT4 and the XT5 competes with the Nautica.

fluffy hair :-D

They are not direct competitors. Lincoln Corsair vs Cadillac XT4. Lincoln Nautilus vs Cadillac XT5

Um... Yea... Wrong comparison. I love the effort but these vehicles are not competitors as others have said.. Or did Cadillac pay you? 😁

I bought the Corsair reserved sport over the XT4

Do a 2021 version of this please

Lincoln is better more refined ❤

Great comparison. A few things, Cadi has terrible exterior style but well done interior style. Lincoln has a goofy looking interior but fancy exterior.

No disrespect but you should have used the xt4 vs Corsair, and the Nautilus vs Xt5 just my thought.

6’2” is taller than average, I have a Corsair and I’m 5’8” and there’s plenty of room and it’s extremely comfortable and the 24 way seats are super comfortable...and the XT5 is a competitor of the Lincoln Nautilus the Cadillac XT4 is the direct competitor of the Corsair... this guy don’t know what he’s talking about. If you’re doing a competitive review you need to review similar vehicles!!! Worst ever!

I prefer the Lincoln with the lower center of gravity.

The rear seats recline on the xt5. Its on the top of the outside seat by shoulder

RDX platinum elite vs XT5 premium luxury pls

I agree the x4 is a direct competitor not xt5

I think you should compare the Corsair to the XT4 Sport not the XT5 sport has more cabin space and a bigger vehicle. In my opinion but thanks for the video

You are the best vehicle reviewer i have ever seen.You don't hold back anything and try and make the automakers happy.

While this video provides a lot of info, I only came here to see why in the world would anyone compare the XT5 to the Corsair. I too quit watching because it doesn't make a true comparison of XT4 to Corsair or XT5 to Nautilus. I plan to buy this week and it's down to the XT5 or Nautilus, and they are very equally appointed. Not sure you can go wrong with either. I prefer the Lincoln and my wife prefers the Cadillac. It's just preference as to what you're looking for in a quality luxury SUV. The Corsair and XT4 are too small for our needs.

There's more rear leg room in the Corsair than a Suburban. That rear seat moves forward or back 6" and reclines. It is also the compact Ford SUV....the XT5 is the mid-sized Chevy SUV. Look at the rear seat room in their XT4, the correct comparison vehicle.

Lincoln Corsair compares with Cadillac XT4, Pedro.

Xt4 is the more realistic size comparison to the corsair

This really put into a real-life perspective the different types of experience you get with these two American luxury brands. Lincoln has these crazy amazing sounding 30-way Perfect Position seats that are ironically dinged way more than they should simply for not being comfortable. Who’s at Ford and spent the money developing these expensive seats but forgot to make it effortlessly comfortable for the customers? This isn’t the first time I’ve heard someone say they rather have a less complicated and more comfortable seat. Ford’s designers do great designs but don’t seem to drive their own vehicles. It’s like they have an ear for what sounds good on paper but don’t really care how everyday life would be with the product. I feel a lot of Cadillac’s design language is simplistic beauty. The phrase “less is more” really comes to mind. This is the perfect example of that, a less complicated naturally aspirated engine that produces more power and will be more reliable. A much simpler front seat which is ironically more comfortable. All things considered it’s not hard to see why Cadillac is the more successful brand. Lincolns have definitely gotten better to look at nowadays tho, this Corsair blows the Mkc out of the water!

I have to give you a thumbs down on this review, sorry. It all starts with the fact that these two vehicles are not direct competitors. The XT5 is a considerably larger vehicle in every dimension. It’s length alone is 9 inches longer overall than the Corsair, so of course it’s going to be roomier inside. You should have pointed out this fact in your review instead of just crapping on the Lincoln for being so small inside.

How tall are you?

Caddie all day good motor too

That's y the Corsair is smaller then the xt5 cuz the nautilus is the direct competitor to the xt5 not the Corsair but I'll it over the xt5 anyday

Mittens on a grown guy? What are those shoes for walking on Mars?

XT5 is not a direct competitor to Corsair!you should compare XT4 with Corsair

Lincoln the best

The steering wheel design on the caddy is a deal breaker. Cadillac has really fallen. It really sad. It really tells you something that this design made it to market.

I don't think it's fare to simplify them as a Ford and Chevy underneath. You probably should have compared the Luxury model as well. Decent review otherwise. I prefer the Cadillac inside and out. The Lincoln just looks like something and older person would drive. The Cadillac looks more aggressive and modern. Great features reliability as well from the Cadillac. Good job.

My family and I have owned multiple Lincoln’s and Cadillacs. Never had anything big on any of the Lincolns lol and the Escalade basically totaled itself with a massive engine failure and the screen exploded in the SRX… yeah Cadillacs are much more reliable smh

Corsair is better looking cadillac looks like a damn Box

Some of us like to sit higher. You didn't demonstrate how high they go. I like the Caddy. Lincolns don't appeal to me.

My first time watching a review on the Corsair! Damn, I am impressed. The MKC was an ugly piece of sh**. Great job to Lincoln. Nice Review!

L ❤ i ❤ n ❤ c ❤ o ❤ l ❤ n

The Corsair looks like a station wagon, not an SUV.

In terms of design languages Exterior: Cadillac Interior: Lincoln

This is not a really fair comparison of these two SUVs the XT five should be compared to the Lincoln novelist not the smaller corsair that’s a really small car

Such a ridiculous comparison. The Corsair competes with the xt4. The nautilus competes with the xt5. The costs maybe different in Canada, but the xt4 is around the same size as the Corsair. You need to compare them both.

the xt5 competes with the Lincoln Nautilus, NOT the Corsair. The Corsair competes with the XT4

ur like want to fit ur self with the Yugo car

If you are tall you should not drive a compact car or review it. Like I tight pair pants if you don’t like the way fit don’t buy them.

On to... On to.... On to...... On to....... On to.........

Lincoln's are better

Totally biased review in an attempt to bash the Lincoln Corsair. Anyone notice at the begining and end of this so called comparison, he gave thanks to the GM dealership. Every expert review gave the Corsair rave reviews, but all this guy did for 30 minutes was bash everything about car. Pathetic. And BTW, nice job intentionally leaving out the sliding rear seats on the Corsair, while highlighting it on the XT5.

What is the point of this video??? It is apples and oranges! The Corsair and XT5 are not direct competitors. the XT5 is a “sport” mid-size model while the Corsair is more of a “comfort/luxury” SMALL SUV. Everything you dinged the Corsair for: leg room, etc, is because it’s in a smaller and totally different class of vehicle. You really should take this video down.

OMG what irritating camera work.

The Caddy looks better

Xt5 is pretty ugly.

I Drive a Lincoln and it much better than the Cadillac
