What are the differences between the Lincoln Corsair and MKC?
2 Answers
Lincoln Corsair and MKC have the following differences: 1. Configuration, powertrain is basically different from MKC: MKC uses two types of engines in total, one is a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The Lincoln Corsair all-series basically uses the high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. 2. Different transmissions: The Lincoln Corsair uses the new 8AT transmission, while the MKC still uses the 6AT transmission. 3. Different dimensions: The wheelbase of the Lincoln Corsair is 2711mm, and the length, width, and height are 4615mm, 1887mm, and 1630mm respectively. The wheelbase of the MKC is 2690mm, and the length, width, and height are 4552mm, 1864mm, and 1657mm respectively.
I've always believed that understanding generational relationships is crucial when buying a car. The Lincoln Corsair is actually the legitimate successor to the MKC. The MKC was a compact SUV launched in 2014 and discontinued by 2019, with the Corsair fully replacing it upon its 2020 debut. The biggest difference lies in the powertrain - the MKC used a 2.0T+6AT combination, while the Corsair upgraded to a 2.0T+8AT setup that runs on regular 92-octane fuel. The Corsair offers significantly more space, especially with much more comfortable rear legroom. The infotainment system evolved from the MKC's 8-inch screen to a 12.8-inch floating display that operates as smoothly as a tablet. Currently, dealerships only carry the Corsair since the MKC has been discontinued for four to five years, though you might still find used MKCs in the pre-owned market. The newer generation also offers superior cabin quietness and more refined chassis dynamics.
