STYLE
In the case of the Lincoln Corsair and the Lexus NX, these compact luxury crossovers will surely land you in the spotlight. Modern proportions and chiseled accents are only part of what these vehicles offer. Step inside, and you’re transported to a carefully crafted sanctuary.
Leave Your Mark
Never one to blend in, the Lincoln Corsair and the Lexus NX speak to your unique sense of style with their dynamic profiles. Dimensional grille designs and muscular accent lines don’t ask for attention but command it.
With nearly a dozen color options and contemporary wheel designs, it’s easy to style the Lincoln Corsair or the Lexus NX to match your aesthetics. However, the Lincoln Corsair has a few exclusive features that add more personalization and premium touches, including the Jet Appearance Package. When optionally equipped, it adds a touch of mystery with blacked-out wheels and accent trim.
One feature that elevates the Lincoln Corsair far beyond the Lexus NX is the Lincoln Embrace. A choreographed light sequence greets you and bids you adieu, adding a layer of personalization not found with the NX.
No Detail Overlooked
Step inside the Lincoln Corsair or the Lexus NX, and you'll find a space expertly crafted to appeal to your senses. An optional panoramic roof gives the cabins an airy, expansive feel while creating a welcoming and warm atmosphere. Each SUV has a brand-specific version of Active Noise Control, which blocks road noise and creates a bubble of serenity.
While the Lincoln Corsair and the NX each have driver-focused features like heated front seats, the Lincoln Corsair elevates the experience with these standard and available features:
- Symphonic Chimes: Replaces traditional alert sounds with soft notes recorded by a real-life orchestra.
- Auto Air Refresh: Eliminates harmful particles like dust, smoke, allergens, and more to create a healthier environment.
- Perfect Position front seats with massage functionality: Helps find the ideal supportive seat position while offering five massage programs to ensure you arrive relaxed and rejuvenated.
The NX has a basic air filter that doesn’t include an active monitoring system found in the Lincoln Corsair.
CAPABILITY
When you drive the Lincoln Corsair or the Lexus NX, every commute is an opportunity for excitement. Each SUV features a potent powertrain that turns ordinary moments into extraordinary events.
Thrill Seeker
The Lincoln Corsair and the Lexus NX have performance-tuned engines designed to excite. Regardless of which SUV you choose, a turbocharged engine capable of producing at least 250 horsepower is standard. An 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters adds a responsive and engaging element to each SUV.
While these SUVs share some performance features, only the Lincoln Corsair comes equipped with Active Grille Shutters. This standard system can help increase aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. Coupled with standard Auto Start-Stop Technology, the Lincoln Corsair maximizes every drop of fuel, helping you travel farther distances with fewer stops in between.
Without these features, the NX may require more frequent fuel stops.
Your Commute, Your Way
No two commutes are the same, which is why the Lincoln Corsair and the Lexus NX include performance personalization features that allow you to tailor every commute to your changing mood. With the NX, this occurs with its multiple engine configurations, including both hybrid and plug-in hybrid technologies. The Lincoln Corsair also offers a plug-in hybrid variation, which provides a comparable efficiency output and electric driving range to the NX.
One way the Lincoln Corsair offers performance freedom is with the standard Lincoln Drive Modes system. Each selectable mode adjusts not only mechanical aspects like throttle response and steering wheel feel, but also graphical information for a more fine-tuned experience. The Lincoln Corsair features four standard modes plus two available modes:
- Conservr
- Normal
- Slippery
- Excite
- Preserve EV & Pure EV (Grand Touring trim only)
The NX also includes standard drive modes. However, this SUV maxes out at three standard modes.
INNOVATION
After premium craftsmanship details, perhaps the most telling aspect of a luxury model is found in its cutting-edge technologies. From entertainment to awareness, the Lincoln Corsair and the Lexus NX demonstrate that these SUVs will always be at the forefront of technological innovation.
Infotainment That Anticipates Your Needs
As modern driving needs shift, advanced entertainment systems are no longer considered a luxury. With features like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ standard on nearly all models—these SUVs included—the Lincoln Corsair and the Lexus NX push the envelope with their inventive features.
Lincoln Corsair | vs | Lexus NX |
|---|---|---|
| 13.2 in. | Standard Touchscreen Size | 9.8 in. |
| Enhanced Voice Recognition | Standard Voice Control | Voice Command |
| Available | Alexa Built-In | Not Offered |
Alexa Built-In seeks to reinvent the everyday commute. While speaking naturally, you can request songs, review calendar events, create reminders, and more. It even helps keep you connected to home, no matter the distance. When connected to compatible smart home devices, Alexa Built-In allows you to adjust the thermostat and lighting features or even drop in on your family to let them know you're running late.
Without this feature, the Lexus NX may feel more simplified than innovative compared to the Lincoln Corsair.
360 Degrees of Monitoring
The most vital technologies help protect you and your passengers. With standard driver-assist suites—Lincoln Co-Pilot360™ 2.0 and Lexus Safety System+ 3.0—the Lincoln Corsair and the Lexus NX add sophisticated technology around key parts of your SUV that alert you to hazards you may have missed.
While each SUV has a brand-specific version of features like Lane Keeping System and Forward Collision Warning, the Lincoln Corsair continues to raise the bar with exclusive standard and available features, including:
- Intersection Assist
- Evasive Steering Assist
- Reverse Brake Assist
These features can increase driving confidence and help you reach any destination safely. While these features are impressive, available BlueCruise adds a new layer of freedom and ease. This award-winning system offers fully autonomous driving, Lane Change Assist, and In-Lane Repositioning on more than 130,000 miles of North American roads.
