Wait! Before dumping this story because it’s about Lincolns and not something German, understand that Ford’s luxury division really does have something to add to the conversation. Yes, even if you don’t yet have silver hair, the latest luxury SUVs from Lincoln are more than competitive with rivals from BMW, Audi, and Mercerdes-Benz than you might expect. Overview Officially, the Lincoln Corsair has been with us for less than two years, but before Lincoln switched over to its nautical naming, it was known as the Lincoln MKC (from 2015 to 2019). Today, Lincoln’s smallest SUV is still built in Louisville, Kentucky, on the Ford Escape platform, and features the same two turbocharged engines as MKC, although the automatic transmission now has eight gears, up from six.
