    Lincoln's updated 2023 Corsair crossover adds more driver-assist technology and a bigger touchscreen.

    DETROIT – Lincoln Motor Co. is updating its best-selling nameplate, the Corsair crossover, with new technology, a larger touchscreen and exterior design tweaks in a bid to continue drawing new buyers to the brand.

    The 2023 Corsair, scheduled to hit showrooms early next year, will come available with Lincoln's ActiveGlide hands-free driver assist technology. While the feature debuted earlier this year on the freshened Navigator, the Corsair will be the first to come with an updated version that includes lane-change assist and other capabilities.

    The small crossover will also be upgraded with the Navigator's 13.2-inch centre touchscreen, as well as a 12.3-inch LCD cluster. Outside, it will be the first nameplate to wear the latest iteration of the brand's mesh grille.

    Canadian sales of the Corsair have totalled 1,274 through August this year. It was Lincoln's top-selling nameplate last year and is expected to be again in 2022.

    Key model

    "Corsair plays an important role in our portfolio – artistically crafted and expertly designed to attract younger Lincoln clients and give them the luxury experience they desire," Michael Sprague, Lincoln's North America director, said in a statement. "We want the drive experience to be even more effortless and personal and the new Corsair will deliver that with advanced technology and new features."

    Lincoln revealed the freshened model Monday ahead of the 2022 North American International Detroit auto show.

    In addition to the interior screen upgrades, Lincoln will offer an available back-lit applique on some trims that shines light through a perforated star pattern on the dashboard. It's the latest example of the brand experimenting with ambient lighting, which it highlighted on some recent concept vehicles.

    It's also adding two new interior colour themes: "smoked truffle" and "eternal red."

    "Colour plays a major role in complementing Corsair's beautiful design," Liam Butler, a colour and materials designer at Lincoln, said in a statement. "Refreshing colours and themes create an ambiance that shift the mood of the interior, creating a warm environment and a luxurious experience that is uniquely Lincoln."

    The Corsair is keeping its current engines: a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that's expected to get 250 hp as well as a 2.5-litre hybrid engine on the Corsair Grand Touring plug-in variant that's expected to get 266 hp.

    Lincoln said order banks for the vehicle are open now.
