The compact crossover segment is one of the hottest in North America, which explains why nearly every automaker has such an offering. Lincoln’s compact crossover is the Corsair, which was updated for the 2027 model year with the goal of making it the standard for distinctive American luxury in the category, with each revision carefully implemented to make the Corsair more distinctive, more comfortable, and more luxurious. Stivers Lincoln provides some key details in this preview. Extensive testing showed the Corsair’s hybrid drivetrain to be the most satisfying, so rather than making it an option, it is now standard across the 2027 Corsair model line. It starts with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine combined with two electric motors to produce 305 horsepower. That is almost 40 hp more than the previous standard Corsair engine and delivers the best standard horsepower in the class, and even more powerful than a version of this engine in the Nautilus. A continuously variable transmission manages power before sending it to all four wheels through the standard all-wheel-drive system, providing on-road confidence in all forms of weather. 305 horsepower in a vehicle this size might imply the Corsair is a “Hot Rod Lincoln,” but the idea is to have ample power delivered effortlessly when you need it most. This concept of effortless luxury also led Lincoln to provide the BlueCruise hands-free highway driving assistance system as standard on every Corsair. This is the BlueCruise 1.5 system builds upon prior variants by including Automatic Lane Change capability. You are also not expected to pay dearly for the privilege while at the pump. There are no EPA estimated fuel ratings at this point, but MotorTrend published its own estimate of 30/ 33/ 32 MPG city/ highway/ combined, respectively. Lincoln has also updated Corsair’s appearance, though not entirely. The dimensions and proportions remain the same, and the greenhouse still features black B-, C-, and D-pillars, creating a refined, seamless wraparound look across the side and rear windows. But up front, Corsair's grille is reshaped to extend further downward, while the upper portions are pierced on either side by LED DRLs, which underpin slend er headlights. At the back, new tail lamps with embedded Lincoln lettering create a sleek, recognizable signature. Corsair also boasts newly redesigned 18-, 19-, and 20-inch wheels, along with five new exterior colors. The 2027 C orsair is already quite restrained in its use of bright trim, but for those who appreciate an even stealthier appearance, a new Jet Appearance Package is available, blacking out the trim for a bolder, sportier expression. The interior’s dash shape remains unchanged, with both a 12.3-inch digital driver display and a free-standing 13.2-inch center touchscreen neatly integrated into its design. Corsair’s front seatbacks feature a new one-piece design that provides additional comfort, while the top Corsair Reserve trim is available with the Perfect Position front seats previously found on higher Lincoln models. In addition to 24-way adjustment, these seats provide heating, ventilation, and Active Motion® massage. No other model in the class offers seats like these. 2027 also adds a newly available Stellar Sun interior theme, which enhances the richness of Corsair’s interior materials, from Black Satin Ash wood trim to the leather seating surfaces and matching dash and door trim, to even the quality of the headliner. The Corsair is available in Premier and Reserve trims. The Reserve is the upgrade, but both trims are designed to create a cocoon of serenity, putting you at ease no matter how stressful the workday behind or ahead. That is how Lincoln defines luxury, and Stivers Lincoln invites you to sample what it can mean for you when the newly revised Corsair arrives in our showroom in early 2027.
Inside and out, from head to toe, the 2026 Lincoln Aviator is a thoroughly modern three-row luxury SUV, instilled with inspired design, advanced technologies, and immersive comfort. So why did the experts at Car and Driver call this the 2026 Aviator an example of “old school luxury?” Well, that’s the highest order of compliment, especially if you’re familiar with Lincoln’s comes to Lincoln’s heritage of leading the industry in distinctive yet restrained design and sophisticated interior designs that feel even better than they look. In an era where it feels as if we constantly pay more and get less, it’s nice to know the Aviator bucks that trend while pampering driver and passengers alike. The 2026 Aviator has been called “understated” in its design, which is also a compliment. Look at the exterior design, which is dictated by its large grille up front adorning the Lincoln Star. The rest of the lines flow with purpose and elegance all the way to the horizontal rear LED lighting signature – a modern touch among classic elements. However, it is a right-sized SUV for the family. Not too tall or imposing. Not too small and cramped. Just right. That is also why the 2026 Aviator is also called “traditional” in its approach to luxury. Being right sized does not mean it lacks accommodation and features. Quite the contrary. Yet, it offers the technology expected of a contemporary a luxury SUV. Car and Driver cited how the 360-degree camera that is featured inside the Lincoln Digital Experience screen can be enabled with a single button to make maneuverability a breeze. Getting comfortable should be no problem when choosing the right place with the Perfect Position front seats, which also includes seat heating, ventilation, and a massage function to keep you temperate and relaxed behind the wheel. Performance comes from the 383-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. It is a modern powerplant that provides plenty of power when most needed while delivering both refinement and impressive efficiency. Combine that with the traction of all-wheel drive and you have the confidence to tackle any excursion in any weather condition, especially when the Aviator’s drive mode selector is shifted to Slippery or Deep Conditions settings. Selecting the available Dynamic Handling Package adds adaptive and air suspension systems which not only improve handling but also ensures Aviator’s passengers are as physically comfortable as possible, even on some of the worst road surfaces imaginable. Aviator also offers the driver BlueCruise hands-free driver assistance technology, which helps bring another level of driver comfort and ease on long highway trips. The takeaway that Car and Driver got from its time in the 2026 Aviator was its “effortless urge” and “magic-carpet ride” that make it a “chillax” experience. That last term may not be an “old school” vocabulary word, but both points still tie directly to that “old-school luxury” conclusion. The 2026 Aviator is now available at Stivers Lincoln in Montgomery. Contact us to see this wonderful mid-size luxury SUV soon.
True luxury is found in the attention paid to detailing, and the 2027 Lincoln Nautilus is proof positive of that adage. Lincoln hasn’t completely re-invented its two-row premium midsize crossover for the 2027 model year, but it has built upon the qualities that set it apart from its competition, resulting in a vehicle that delivers unparalleled comfort, versatility, and performance. Stivers Lincoln offers this advanced look. The most obvious changes include a new front end with a larger, more detailed grille, which is flanked by a redesigned hood and front fenders. The 2027 Nautilus offers five different wheel options, ranging anywhere from 19 to 22 inches in size, depending on the particular trim level – but each provides the right amount of distinctive flair for the Nautilus’ exterior form. In back, a thin horizontal tail lamp stretches the entire width of the vehicle, which helps accentuate the Lincoln badging and provides an elegant presentation. Additionally, Lincoln introduced new colors to accentuate the interior, including a highly metallic Nocturnal Blue for all trims and a rich plum-purple called “Frosted Fig” for the top-range Nautlius Black Label model. Inside, the 48-inch, pillar-to-pillar Lincoln Digital Experience still steals the show, providing a full set of information at the base of the windshield, where eye diversion from the road is minimal. Supporting the system, the Lincoln Connectivity Package3 includes built-in Google Maps, Google apps, and voice assistance as standard features, plus four years of active connectivity covering navigation, apps, and an unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot. Meanwhile, rear passengers will enjoy nearly class-leading 43.1 inches of legroom. Look closer at the interior, and you may discover the Afterglow interior color theme on Premier and Reserve trims, or a new Hot Chocolate color theme on Nautilus Reserve models. The Black Label trim level features two exclusive interior themes. Eminent Hour, inspired by a desert sunset, includes Tranquil Dusk Menorca seating, Eminent Fade perforation, warm stitching, Eminent Copper Ash open-pore wood, and an Ebony headliner. Elysian is its thematic opposite, inspired by a sunrise over water, with Soft Cloud leather and headliner, Pearl Blue accents, and Pearlescent Ash wood trim. A new Renew Package brings the 24-way Perfect-Position front seats with memory and massage to the Reserve trim. Also new is Lincoln Rejuvenate, which, in Lincoln’s words, creates a calming multisensory experience by combining visuals, audio, seat position, and climate control into a single relaxing experience for use when parked. Digital Scent adds curated fragrances to further personalize the Nautilus cabin. A Nautilus purchase includes four years of the BlueCruise 1.5 hands-free driving system, now featuring seamless automatic lane changes. Lincoln also includes four years of the Lincoln Security Package, offering real-time anti-theft tracking, remote engine lockout, and 24/7 live agent support via the Lincoln app. Underhood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 producing 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic and sends power to all four wheels through the standard AWD system. More than half of Nautilus customers have opted for the Nautilus Hybrid drivetrain, which uses a version of the same engine combined with a 100-kW electric motor paired with a continuously variable transmission, for a total system rating of 285 horsepower. 2027 EPA estimates are not yet available, but the 2026 model was rated at 29 in the city, 31 on the highway, and 30 combined. You would be hard-pressed to find a better expression of American Luxury than the 2027 Lincoln Nautilus. The first models can be expected to arrive at Stivers Lincoln in early 2027, though orders are being taken now.
