The recently inked CA$1.95 billion deal between Ford Motor Company of Canada and Unifor ensures that Oakville Assembly will be the automaker’s Canadian hub for future electric vehicle production. According to auto industry forecasting firm AutoForecast Solutions LLC, this includes an electric version of the Lincoln Corsair, which is slated to go into production by 2026.
AutoForecast Solutions Vice President Sam Fiorani told
Because the electric Corsair would have its own unique platform, Lincoln could very well pull the plug on the combustion engine-powered Corsair and the Corsair Grand Touring plug-in hybrid. Lincoln builds the Lincoln Corsair and Corsair Grand Touring at Louisville Assembly in Kentucky. The crossover will undergo a complete redesign in 2024.
