2021 Lincoln Corsair Interior

The 2021 Lincoln Corsair's cabin is filled with high-quality materials, including wood and aluminum trim. In addition, it has ample room for the driver and passengers, as well as a solid amount of cargo space. Some class rivals feature larger touch screens, but the Corsair's infotainment system is user-friendly and feature filled.

• "There are premium materials all around and there’s nothing chintzy about this interior." -- Autotrader
• "With premium interior materials in vivid colors, the 2021 Lincoln Corsair has a sumptuous cabin." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "There are soft-touch surfaces, real wood trim, and an easy-to-use 8.0-inch touchscreen that tops a semi-floating center console layout." -- Car and Driver (2020)

Cargo

This luxury compact SUV has 27.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back row and 57.6 cubic feet with the back row folded down. These cargo numbers are about average for the class. A power liftgate is standard. Power-folding rear seats and a hands-free power liftgate are available.

• "The Corsair delivers a premium experience and we love its flexible interior that allows you to strike just the right balance of cargo space and passenger space with its sliding back seats." -- Autotrader
• "The Corsair's cargo bay is generously sized. We managed to fit eight carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats, beating the X3 by one case. Lowering the rear seatbacks opens up enough room for 21 cases total." -- Car and Driver
• "The large cargo area includes some underfloor storage compartments, and the rear seats have fold-down buttons." -- Motor Trend (2020)

Seating

The Corsair seats five people in two rows. It has plenty of head- and legroom, which means adults should feel comfortable sitting in both rows. This luxury crossover also comes standard with sliding 60/40-split-folding rear seats.

Standard comfort features include synthetic leather upholstery, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, heated front seats, driver's seat memory settings, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Genuine leather upholstery, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, power-folding rear seats, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and 24-way power-adjustable front seats are optional.

For installing child safety seats, there are two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the rear outboard seats and a tether anchor for the rear middle seat. The middle seat can also borrow lower anchors from the adjoining seats. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave this LATCH setup the highest rating of Good+, which indicates that it is among the easiest to use.

• "There’s not a bad seat in the Lincoln Corsair. The seats are comfortable and there’s a good amount of room in the back in the sliding and reclining rear seats." -- Autotrader
• "The wide dash of the Corsair helps to emphasize the abundant space within this compact Lincoln SUV. … We also like how the back bench can be slid fore or aft up to six inches, allowing owners to choose between extra rear-seat legroom or additional cargo capacity." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "The compact luxury SUV's second row is roomy, with ample leg- and headroom, as well as air vents, two USB ports, and a 12-volt power outlet." -- Motor Trend (2020)
