Ford's luxury division, founded 1917. Sells full-size and midsize SUVs - the Navigator, Aviator, Corsair and Nautilus - primarily in North America and China, with a growing hybrid lineup.
The Lincoln Corsair is the brand's smallest and cheapest SUV. For the 2027 model year it is sold in the United States only as a hybrid, with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four, two electric motors, a combined 305 hp and standard all-wheel drive. It is built by the Changan Ford joint venture in Chongqing, China, after US production ended in December 2025, and lists from $46,495 plus a $2,295 destination charge. Deliveries start in early 2027.
The Lincoln Nautilus is a two-row midsize luxury SUV, sold with a 250 hp 2.0-litre turbo four or a 285 hp hybrid version of the same engine, both with standard all-wheel drive. It is built by the Changan Ford joint venture in Hangzhou, one of two Lincolns made in China for the US market. The 2027 model year brings a new front end, five wheel designs from 19 to 22 inches and three new interior themes, reaching dealers in early 2027.
Lincoln has reopened order books on the Corsair nine months after US production ended. The 2027 car is a 305 hp hybrid with standard all-wheel drive, built by Changan Ford in Chongqing and imported, and it lists at $48,790 delivered against $41,480 for the petrol car it replaces.
Ford is rolling out its AI Assistant to up to 8 million eligible Ford and Lincoln vehicles through the brands' phone apps. It answers questions about the specific car using live telemetry, reads photos, and moves into the dashboard from 2027. Google Gemini arrives separately as a voice assistant option.
The 2027 Lincoln Nautilus gets a wider grille, a redesigned hood, slimmer tail lights and three new cabin themes, with the 250 hp 2.0T and the 285 hp hybrid carried over unchanged. It arrives at US dealers in early 2027, still built in China, and still under a 52.5% import duty Ford has said it will stop paying by 2030.
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.
