# 2020 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring Plug-In Hybrid Debuts at 2019 LA Auto Show

Lincoln unveiled the 2020 Corsair Grand Touring Plug-in Hybrid at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, a luxury crossover that joins the [PHEV CUV family](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/27987/the-ultimate-electric-vehicle-glossary-every-term-you-need-to-know>) started by the Aviator Grand Touring Plug-in Hybrid earlier this year.

The Corsair Grand Touring will be the [newly launched Corsair's twin](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/30059/2020-lincoln-corsair-review-90-percent-there-in-lincolns-compact-luxury-crossover>), made fraternal by blue-cued badging all around. Lincoln proclaims that the Corsair Grand Touring will have the compact luxury crossover segment's first electric all-wheel-drive system, meaning an electric motor on each axle. These combine with a fossil-fuel-powered 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for a maximum output of 266 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 25-mile electric-only driving range.

Juice for electric driving can be used immediately after setting off or saved for later, and is stored in a standard underfloor battery pack. This means the Corsair hybrid is just as spacious inside as its non-hybrid twin, with space for four occupants and their luggage. Plentiful sound deadening and Active Noise Control (which [whites out unwanted frequencies](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/8628/the-expensive-technology-behind-keeping-cheap-cars-quiet>)) ensure the Corsair GT is as quiet inside as it is comfortable, with its 24-way adjustable, massage-enabled front seats.

As a vehicle designed for the new decade, the Corsair GT is laden with convenience- and safety-enhancing technology. Off the road, Corsair GT owners will be able to use their smartphones in place of a traditional key to increase vehicle security, and on the road, the Corsair has practically every driving aid available today. Collision, blind spot, and rear cross-traffic watch, automated emergency braking, lane-keeping, automatic high beams, and a rear-view camera. An optional head-up display can keep the driver's eyes where they belong—on the road—and will pair nicely with the Grand Touring's other major tech option, Lincoln [Co-Pilot360](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/19298/ford-announces-co-pilot360-safety-tech-suite>) Plus. This suite adds Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Jam Assist, Evasive Steering Assist, Reverse Brake Assist and Active Park Assist Plus.
