If you want an opulent luxury SUV, there's no need to buy a German import. The new Lincoln Corsair is a refined American crossover with snappy acceleration and a pillowy-soft ride. It's also loaded with gratifying tech features. The new BMW X3 is also a well-appointed small luxury SUV, but it's not as good of an overall value as the Lincoln Corsair. Dana Lincoln created the following comparison to help you see why.
Base Engine and Acceleration
You'll want an SUV with a muscular engine for easy passing on the freeway in Newark. The new Lincoln Corsair comes standard with a turbocharged 250-horsepower four-cylinder engine that makes 280 pound-feet of torque.
The new BMW X3 comes with a turbocharged 248-horsepower four-cylinder engine generating just 258 pound-feet of torque. A stronger engine is available in the X3, but you must pay more to get it.
Interior Quality and Passenger Space
The new Lincoln Corsair has a plush interior with gleaming chrome accents, glossy black trim, and soft synthetic or genuine leather upholstery. Union drivers will like its available EasyFold rear seat, which can be raised or lowered with the push of a button. The new BMW X3 also has an upscale cabin, but it's more conservative and not quite as swanky as the Lincoln Corsair's interior.
The new Lincoln Corsair and the new BMW X3 both offer seating for five. However, the Lincoln Corsair offers more room for taller Edison passengers. It has 38.6 inches of rear legroom compared to just 36.4 inches in the new BMW X3.
Price
Our Linden customers will appreciate that the new Lincoln Corsair has a starting MSRP of just over $38,000. Top-tier Lincoln Corsair Reserve models start at around $43,000.
The new BMW X3's entry-level trim costs more than $46,000. Its top-of-the-line model starts at over $61,000.
