Lincoln product planners are savvy: they've created an SUV to fit the need of every kind of luxury buyer. That's why you'll find several highly compelling options on our lot, including the 2026 Lincoln Corsair and 2026 Lincoln Nautilus. These are two distinct SUVs that share the same razor focus on delivering a world-class ownership experience.
If you're not sure which is right for you, don't worry -- you're not alone. Many visit our Lincoln dealership in Morrow unsure whether they should buy a Nautilus, lease a Corsair or try one of the other models on our lot. Once you test-drive these two top sellers, though, we think you'll quickly know which of these 2026 Lincoln SUVs is perfect for you.
Which Is Bigger, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus or Corsair?
The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus is the larger SUV, offering plenty of cargo room and two rows of seats with generous legroom. The 2026 Corsair is also a 2-row SUV, but its smaller exterior footprint makes it ideal for smaller families and urban living.
The larger Nautilus is the preferable choice if you frequently shuttle passengers in the back seat. The compact Corsair excels when you're more worried about parallel parking in downtown Morrow than hauling four or five people and their cargo. Consider how you plan to use your SUV to determine the Lincoln best aligned with your needs -- the larger Nautilus or city-sized Corsair.

Are the Corsair & Nautilus Engines the Same?
Yes. The 2026 Lincoln Corsair comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 250 horsepower, the same as the standard Nautilus. Notably, however, the available powertrains differ between these two SUVs. The new Corsair offers a plug-in hybrid Lincoln engine; the Nautilus allows you to upgrade to a hybrid engine.
The new Corsair Grand Touring, for sale in Morrow now and exclusive to this model, is your ticket to enjoying electrified performance and limited all-electric range. The Nautilus, meanwhile, lets you upgrade to a hybrid powertrain on any of the three available trim levels. Doing so nets you 285 horsepower and up to 31 highway mpg.
