The Corsair’s run is coming to an end after 2026, but it's not fading gently away. It remains an affordable and comfortable option for drivers who want Lincoln quality in a smaller package. Here's what you can expect from its base trim, the Premiere.
Key Takeaways
- The Premiere is the base trim in this two-model lineup.
- Its price is $41,480, as of November 1, 2025.
- This is the last year of the 2026 Corsair. An as-yet-unnamed EV will soon replace it.
Lincoln leaves the Corsair largely untouched for its final year. As the brand prepares for an electric replacement, the Premiere trim stays priced at $41,480 and includes the same comfort, safety, and driver-assist features from the previous model year. For buyers who prefer a traditional setup over the upcoming EV, this version closes out the Corsair nameplate with the same level of build quality Lincoln is known for.
2026 Corsair Premiere Engine Power, Performance, and Mileage
The Corsair continues with its familiar and capable setup. A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 250 horsepower and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while all-wheel drive remains an option for those who want added grip and control.
Fuel economy is 22 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive, dropping only slightly with all-wheel drive.
What Does the Inside of the Corsair Premiere Look and Feel Like?
The Corsair Premiere cabin’s design emphasizes warmth and comfort, with soft-touch materials and available leather that give it a high-end look and feel. Buyers can make the space their own with optional interior themes like Smoked Truffle with warm, earthy tones, or Eternal Red, a throwback design with deep red leather and bright aluminum accents.
Adjustable ambient lighting and Lincoln’s intuitive seat controls make it easy to create a vibe, while 24-way power-adjustable seats and a head-up display are available for those wanting a fully tailored experience. There’s also an app-based digital key that lets you lock, unlock, and start the Premiere from your phone. Finally, its cargo area is generous for its size, making it practical enough for everyday errands or weekend escapes.
The 13.2-inch touchscreen runs Lincoln’s latest Sync 4 infotainment system, paired with a crisp 12.3-inch digital gauge display. Handy mini joysticks on the steering wheel allow the driver to manage key functions without taking their eyes off the road. Standard navigation, wireless phone connectivity, and voice commands keep everything within easy reach.
Final Thoughts on the 2026 Lincoln Corsair Premiere
The 2026 Lincoln Corsair Premiere may be on its farewell tour, but it leaves on a high note. For drivers who want the sophistication of a Lincoln without stepping up to the Nautilus or Aviator, it delivers exactly what the brand is known for: comfort and elegance. If you’ve been thinking about adding a Corsair to your driveway, now’s the time—this is your last chance before Lincoln’s new generation of EVs takes over.
