Though luxury vehicles are known for their elegant styling, they also boast robust performances that give you an edge on the road. The Lincoln Corsair and the Volvo XC40 are proof of this, each offering a souped-up engine lineup, perfect for customizing your drives.
Each model is available with two engine options. Standardly, the XC40 is powered by the turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder that generates a reliable 187 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, which is perfect for showing off on city streets.
The Lincoln Corsair is also standardly outfitted with a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine, but you’ll find more power under its hood. With its impressive 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, you’ll easily become road royalty.
Looking for even more oomph? The 2023 Lincoln Corsair has you covered with its available 2.5L plug-in hybrid engine, which boasts 266 combined horsepower. Unfortunately, the available gas engine in the Volvo model falls behind, with only 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
Plus, the Lincoln Corsair provides four drive modes to adjust to the ever-changing conditions on the road. Simply turn the knob in the center console to choose from Normal, Excite, Conserve, and Slippery. The Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring trim adds Preserve EV and Pure EV drive modes.
If you’re shopping for an SUV, you’re likely looking for a spacious cabin that can comfortably seat you and yours. Luckily, both the Lincoln and the Volvo model offer what you need with room for up to five riders in two sizeable rows.
Everyone on board will find it easier to get comfortable in the Lincoln Corsair, though, thanks to its roomy seating dimensions. Rear-seat riders will appreciate the far greater amount of headroom and legroom in the Lincoln Corsair than that found in the Volvo XC40. Let’s take a look...

Both the Lincoln Corsair and the XC40 have standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility for a wireless phone connection and a seamless user experience.

Plus, new for the 2023 Lincoln Corsair is ActiveGlide™ 1.2 that allows you to drive hands-free while a driver-facing camera ensures you keep your eyes on the road. It can even automatically change lanes for you when you engage the turn signal. The XC40 doesn’t offer this type of next-gen feature.
