Lincoln is a classic American brand that always manages to feel current. Its lineup now leans heavily on SUVs, and the latest Navigator proves why Lincoln still dominates the full-size luxury segment. But Lincoln isn’t just about big, pricey vehicles. The brand’s smaller, more affordable SUVs deliver the same attention to detail and luxury that Lincoln is known for.
As the industry shifts toward hybrids and electrification, Lincoln is evolving too, with rumors of new electric models constantly circulating. If you’re curious about which Lincoln SUV might be right for you, this guide breaks down the entire lineup—starting from the most affordable.

## 2026 Lincoln Corsair
**Starting MSRP: $39,985**
The Corsair is Lincoln’s most affordable model, designed to compete with the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. Its turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces a solid 250 horsepower. You’ll enjoy standard driver assists such as lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring—features that make every drive feel effortless. A Jet Black exterior option delivers a sleek, commanding look.
Inside, the Corsair continues to impress. Heated front seats, sliding rear seats, and active noise control ensure the cabin remains cozy and quiet. A large 13.2-inch touchscreen handles most controls but still retains the buttons and toggles you actually use. Multiple interior color options and high-end trim details set the Corsair apart in its class.
With 38.6 inches of rear legroom (in the gas model) and nearly 30 cubic feet of cargo space, the Corsair is a versatile choice for daily drives and family trips alike.

## 2026 Lincoln Corsair Plug-in Hybrid
**Starting MSRP: $54,365**
Think quiet, effortless luxury driving—that’s the Corsair Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV). It offers an all-electric range of up to 27 miles, which is enough for most commutes and can save you money over time. However, its CVT transmission might not suit everyone, so a test drive is wise before opting for the PHEV.
Although it’s technically a separate model, the PHEV is essentially the Grand Touring trim at heart and includes all the standard features of the gas-powered Corsair. You can further upgrade with packages for heated rear seats, a head-up display, wireless charging, and hands-free driving. While the added features aren’t outrageously priced, at this level you might expect a bit more included.

## 2026 Lincoln Nautilus
**Starting MSRP: $53,995**
If you need something bigger, the Nautilus is your move. About a foot longer than the Corsair, it offers 36 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and more than 43 inches of legroom in both rows. This SUV delivers even more features for the price, including a power tilt steering column, heated steering wheel, and a stunning 48-inch panoramic display stretching across the dash for a genuinely tech-forward cabin.
Under the hood, the gas-only Nautilus uses the same turbocharged four-cylinder as the Corsair. The standout is its ride: a soft, calm suspension paired with acoustic glass for an incredibly quiet, luxurious experience.

## 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid
**Starting MSRP: $56,995**
The Nautilus Hybrid offers tremendous value. It’s priced close to the Corsair PHEV but delivers more space, more standard features, and a similar electric-assisted drive—without the need to plug in. EPA estimates claim up to 600 miles per tank, giving you an extra 120 miles over the gas version. Long trips are a breeze, especially with Lincoln’s BlueCruise hands-free driving system and available air refresher to keep the cabin smelling clean.
If you want sharp, sporty handling, a BMW X5 may suit you better, but the Nautilus wins for those who prioritize comfort and luxury. It offers two long rear rows or available captain’s chairs, making it perfect for bigger families who aren’t ready to step up to the Navigator.

## 2026 Lincoln Aviator
**Starting MSRP: $58,495**
For families needing three rows, the Aviator hits the sweet spot between luxury and performance. It offers a twin-turbo V6 engine with 400 horsepower, making highway merges effortless. Standard features include tri-zone climate control, captain’s chairs, BlueCruise, a 360-degree camera, and full LED lighting. The range-topping Black Label trim adds heated rear seats, a head-up display, a panoramic roof, and optional Jet Appearance Package for a bold look.

## 2026 Lincoln Navigator
**Starting MSRP: Around $100,000**
If you want the biggest, boldest Lincoln SUV, the Navigator is the ultimate choice. Seating up to eight, the long-wheelbase “L” model boasts 121.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row and can tow up to 8,700 pounds with its 3.5-liter engine. While the 2026 Navigator hasn’t been fully revealed yet, a plug-in hybrid version is expected soon to improve fuel efficiency.
Parking a Navigator requires selectivity due to its size, but it more than rewards with spaciousness and comfort. Every seat gets generous legroom—even third-row passengers enjoy 43.5 inches, more than the Cadillac Escalade. Luxury features abound, with standard first-row massaging seats and the option to extend that comfort to the rear. The only drawback is the seats don’t fold flat, but third-row accessibility is easier than in many rivals thanks to smart ergonomics.
