![]() The 2023 Lincoln Corsair is only available with two powertrain options, after the company dropped the turbocharged 2.3-liter from the range. Finally, the optional Auto Air Refresh system monitors the quality of the air and filters out particles from dust, smoke, smog, etc. The new ActiveGlide 1.2 which was introduced in the larger Lincoln Navigator, brings new ADAS features to the Corsair, including the hands-free Lane Change Assist, the Blind Sport Assist, and the improved Predictive Speed Assist. Finally, two new interior color options are added, called Smoked Truffle and Eternal Red. While this change blesses the facelifted Corsair with larger storage compartments and cleaner looks for the dashboard, it also brings the disadvantage of moving the climate controls in the touchscreen menu, something that might put off some buyers. Notably, Lincoln designers opted for eliminating a large sum of physical controls from the now-smaller center console. It is still combined with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, albeit with revised graphics for a high-tech look. That means we might not see the redesigned model debut until early next year as a 2025 model.Moving on inside, the highlight of the facelift is the larger free-standing 13.2-inch touchscreen on the center console, replacing the old 8-inch unit and incorporating the new SYNC4 infotainment. The SUV received a mid-cycle fresh for the 2022 model year, gaining new styling front and rear and the latest technology underneath. We don’t know when Lincoln plans to reveal the new Navigator. Cadillac sold nearly double the number of Escalades in 2022, even though sales were down 40 percent compared to 2021. However, they have been falling since 2020 to just 13,206 in 2022. Lincoln launched the fourth-generation Navigator in 2018 and saw sales jump to over 17,000. The time between an automaker revealing a new electric vehicle and starting production feels longer than ever. While it debuts later this year, that doesn’t mean Cadillac will begin producing it anytime soon, so Lincoln might not need to rush. It’ll likely use General Motors’ Ultium platform that underpins the automaker’s latest EVs. In May, Cadillac teased the Escalade IQ but provided few details. However, Lincoln might be working on such a Navigator as the model’s chief rival, the Cadillac Escalade, is going electric later this year. It could also increase the model’s fuel economy figures. Lincoln could restore the 10 hp lost with the 2022 refresh, possibly bringing output back to the original 450 hp. ![]() It pairs with the brand’s 10-speed automatic transmission. The current Navigator uses the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 making 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. However, it’s too early to know what those might be. The rear roof spoiler appears more pronounced, and an ugly tailpipe sticks out the back that could suggest Lincoln has plans to make updates to the powertrain. Only the taillights’ outer edges poke through the camouflage, but they’re shaped the same as those on the Nautilus, along with the sloped liftgate that looks to have grown taller. However, the crossover’s stylistic fingerprints are much more visible at the Navigator’s rear. That could change throughout the development cycle. There are no good photos of the interior, but it doesn’t appear to feature the Nautilus’ 48.0-inch dash-spanning display just yet. It’s difficult to pick out any specific design details, and any potential influence from the new Nautilus is hard to find in the fascia. The Navigator features a brand-new face with a restyled grille, a new front bumper, and redesigned headlights. White coverings hide portions of the SUV’s revamped face, but a few styling hints suggest the 2024 Nautilus might influence the Navigator’s new design. The full-size luxury SUV is shown wearing a tight-fitting but concealing camouflage wrap over most of its boxy body. New spy photos reveal that the Lincoln Navigator is getting a major redesign.
