Comparing the 2025 Lincoln Corsair vs. the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus at Your Lincoln Dealership
Engine and Power
Lincoln offers two powertrain options for both the Corsair and the Nautilus, allowing you to pick between a gas-only or a hybrid engine. The Corsair’s base powertrain uses a 2.0L turbocharged I-4 that produces 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed SelectShift automatic transmission with standard paddle shifters provides efficient gear shifting and allows you to switch to manual control whenever you want.
The available 2.5L I-4 PHEV engine delivers 266 horsepower and an estimated fuel economy of 80 MPGe combined. The Nautilus comes with the same standard engine as the Corsair, but performance upgrades boost torque to 280 lb-ft. Standard on the two upper Nautilus trims, a turbocharged 2.0L PHEV engine pumps out 310 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
Styling and Handling
Both the Corsair and the Nautilus are stunning vehicles designed to command the road. Stylish front and rear fascias with prominent grilles and gorgeous headlamps characterize each model. The Corsair’s headlamps are rounder, while the Nautilus boasts slim light features that enhance its aggressive appearance.
Compact and offered in standard front-wheel drive, the Corsair is perfect for the city, but you can upgrade to all-wheel drive if you need more traction. The Nautilus is longer and wider but still easy to maneuver across busy streets or crowded parking lots. This mid-size SUV comes in standard all-wheel drive and is ready to conquer anything from the urban jungle to the dusty trails.
Interior and Cargo
The Corsair comes standard with ergonomic heated front seats and sliding rear seats that allow you to adjust legroom for taller passengers. Behind the second row, you get 27.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity. A 12.3-inch center touchscreen running the SYNC 4 system and a nine-speaker Lincoln Premium audio system bring connectivity and entertainment to the cabin.
The Nautilus has Comfort front seats with power adjustability and memory on the driver’s side and an easy-fold rear bench for an easy expansion of the cargo area. With 36.4 cubic feet of cargo volume, it can haul a lot more than the Corsair. Dominating the dashboard, a pillar-to-pillar panoramic display brings hi-tech into the cabin and pairs with the Lincoln Digital Experience infotainment system.
