Both engines quietly hum in the background, even at full throttle, and serve up ample low-end torque-310 lb-ft from the 2.3-liter, 275 lb-ft from the 2.0-for drama-free acceleration. Stepping up to the $43,625 Reserve model unlocks an optional 295-hp turbo 2.3-liter inline-four ($1140), which only can be had with all-wheel drive. The Corsair Standard-thatвЂ™s a trim level, not a benchmark-starts at a reasonable $36,940 and comes with a 250-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four carried over from the previous MKC adding all-wheel drive is $2200 on all versions. Pushed to their handling limit, both of our all-wheel-drive Corsair test cars-one riding on 19-inch wheels shod with 225/55R-19 Michelin Primacy Tour A/S all-season tires and the other fitted with 20-inch, 245/45R-20 Continental CrossContact LX Sport ContiSilent all-seasons-returned the same, modest 0.83 g of lateral grip around the skidpad and stopped from 70 mph in about 165 feet, which is respectable for the class.Д«oth on the road and at the test track, the difference in performance between the two engines essentially is a wash.

But it takes an emergency event to actually raise your pulse when piloting the Corsair, and even then, a phalanx of driver aids-such as standard forward automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection, and lane-keep assist, as well as optional evasive steering assist-are there to help you from hitting trees and other vehicles. Switching to its Excite driving mode (there also are Normal, Conserve, Slippery, and Deep settings) slightly stiffens the dampers and the effort of the electrically assisted steering, although we couldnвЂ™t detect much difference aside from the sharper action that Excite mode brings to the throttle and the unobtrusive eight-speed automatic transmission. LOWS: Operation feels uninvolved, headline options are limited to pricier Reserve models.ДЄ firm brake pedal and confident responses to directional changes lend the Corsair a reassuring if lazy comportment on the road. That healthy degree of compliance in the Corsair's suspension translates to a similar amount of isolation when traversing the Third World goat paths of the Midwest, although its larger, optional wheels do occasionally clomp over pavement imperfections and frost seams on the highway. We can say that rolling on its larger 19- or 20-inch wheels (18s are standard), the Corsair floated over the glass-smooth byways of Northern California with competence and cushy grace, its steering aloof in feel yet precise, and its body control reasonably in check on curvy back roads. Yet, the Lincoln adopts its own chassis and steering tuning, optional adaptive dampers ($700 on Reserve models only), and a revised multilink rear suspension. Both vehicles share a similar strut front suspension. Confident and IndifferentДЇrom our initial experience with the latest Escape, Lincoln could have done far worse in terms of a donor platform. While its compact transverse-engine proportions aren't quite as fetching as the larger longitudinal-engine Lincoln Aviator's, the Corsair's elegant lines fit right into the new Lincoln showroom, matey.
