Badge Engineering Done Right: 2024 Lincoln Corsair AWD Reserve III

What I didn’t expect about the Lincoln Corsair was how much nicer it would be versus the Ford Escape it is based upon.

Badge engineering is nothing new, but we generally know what we are getting, a lux'd-up version of a cheaper vehicle. However, with the 2024 Lincoln Corsair, there really is no resemblance to the Escape on which it is based.


Between the powerful engine, the multi-way positional seats with massage, and looks that exceed its mainstream sibling, this Corsair makes a case for its price premium over the Ford Escape.
