Lincoln's entry-level crossover now boasts the brand's latest tech.

When using the latest Activeglide version, drivers can execute a lane change simply by tapping the turn signal. The system can also suggest making a lane change if a slower vehicle is ahead.The tech updates don't end there, though. An updated blind spot monitor adds a warning light to the side mirror caps and will apply a nudge in the steering system if the driver tries to manually switch lanes while another vehicle is present in the blind spot.

Inside the cabin of the 2023 Corsair, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is standard, and joined by a larger 13.2-inch screen for the infotainment system that comes with built-in Alexa. There's also an automatic air freshener that uses a laser sensor to detect the quality of the cabin air and can refresh it 1.5 times per minute, plus a new color theme dubbed Smoked Truffle.

There are also some minor styling updates on the outside to set apart the updated Corsair from the current model which arrived for the 2020 model year. These include a larger grille and wing-shaped daytime running lights. There are also new wheel patterns and two new color options: Crystal Red and Whisper Blue.

The powertrain lineup for the 2023 Corsair consists of a 250-hp 2.0-liter turbo-4 that's mated to an 8-speed automatic and can be ordered with either front- or all-wheel drive. The alternative is athat pairs a 2.5-liter inline-4 at the front axle with an electric motor at the rear. Peak output of the hybrid is 266 hp. A 295-hp 2.3-liter turbo-4 currently offered in the Corsair won't feature in the 2023 model.

Production of the 2023 Corsair starts later this year at Ford's plant in Louisville, Kentucky. The first examples are due at dealerships in early 2023. Pricing information will be announced closer to the market launch.
