2020 Lincoln Corsair vs Cadillac XT4
Are you struggling to tell the difference between the 2020 Lincoln Corsair and Cadillac XT4? At LaFayette Ford, we’re here to help. Our comparison guide takes a closer look at each of these compact luxury crossovers. That way, by the end, you’ll know which is right for your daily drive.
Affordable Starting Price: It’s a Tie!
Both the 2020 Lincoln Corsair and the Cadillac XT4 put a reasonable price on everyday luxury. With an MSRP that starts at $35,695, the XT4 is technically the more affordable of the pair. However, with price tags as low as $34,945, the Corsair only costs a few hundred dollars extra.
Luxurious Starting Lineup: 2020 Lincoln Corsair
Although these luxury crossovers start at equally affordable prices, it’s the Corsair that gives you more for your money. Among the standard features are full LED headlights, a touch screen infotainment system, and a suite of driver safety aids.
In spite of its name—Luxury—the entry-level Corsair model isn’t quite as jam-packed with luxury features. It does, however, include automatic emergency braking and a Wi-Fi hotspot. But if you want extra safety aids or leather upholstery, you’re going to need to spend more money.
Smooth, Powerful Performance: 2020 Lincoln Corsair
When it comes to your daily drive, the Corsair has plenty of treats in store. Choose from two engine options—the most powerful of which is a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder that makes 295 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque—for the performance you crave. The Corsair also makes a point of delivering a smooth, quiet performance, just like a compact luxury crossover should.
The XT4 comes with a powerful engine of its own, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated for 237 horses and 258 pound-feet of torque. However, for a luxury crossover, the Cadillac XT4 feels surprisingly busy on the road. When the pavement gets just a little bit bumpy, passengers will get the jitters. The XT4 could also do a better job of keeping road and engine noise at bay, especially during highway rides.
Towing Capabilities: 2020 Cadillac XT4
Cadillac’s small crossover is the more capable of the pair. Properly equipped, this luxury vehicle can tow up to 3,500 pounds. The Lincoln Corsair, on the other hand, maxes out at 2,000 pounds. Both will tow a Jet Ski or a small boat. If your toys exceed the Corsair’s capabilities, however, you may find yourself in need of the XT4.
It’s true that the 2020 Cadillac XT4 can tow a bit more, but it’s the 2020 Lincoln Corsair that really treats luxury shoppers to the features they crave. To check out the Corsair’s smooth, powerful performance and high-end comfort, visit us at LaFayette Ford, your Fayetteville, NC dealership.
