About
Lincoln is Ford Motor Company’s luxury division, tracing its roots to the Lincoln Motor Company founded in 1917 by Henry Leland. Ford acquired the brand in 1922 and has run it as its premium marque for over a century, historically positioned as America’s answer to Cadillac.
The modern Lincoln lineup is built entirely around SUVs and crossovers. The full-size Navigator anchors the range, sharing its body-on-frame platform with the Ford Expedition, while the three-row Aviator is offered with a plug-in hybrid powertrain alongside its gasoline counterpart. The Nautilus midsize crossover sits below it, and the compact Corsair opens the range: from the 2027 model year the American Corsair is sold only as a conventional hybrid and is imported from China.
Lincoln has a significant presence in China, where it sells a locally produced range through the Changan Ford joint venture. The brand has scaled back earlier plans for standalone electric models, instead leaning on hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains across its existing SUV lineup.
