Special Considerations for the Lincoln Corsair PHEV
The Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring PHEV model receives special considerations that distinguish it as the technology flagship of the lineup. Certain shades, including Magnetic Bronze and Gilded Green, have been specially formulated to emphasize the sustainable luxury positioning of the hybrid model.
These colours incorporate special pigments that provide exceptional depth and reflectivity while requiring less energy during the painting process, aligning with the vehicle’s environmentally conscious positioning.
Colour Care and Maintenance
Lincoln has engineered the Corsair exterior finishes for exceptional durability and ease of maintenance. All exterior colours feature a multi-layer application process that includes a protective clear coat with self-healing properties, designed to minimize minor scratches and swirl marks.
The paint technology incorporates UV stabilizers to prevent fading and maintain brilliance throughout the vehicle’s life. This advanced formulation is particularly important for more saturated hues, such as Burgundy Velvet and Artisan Blue, which have traditionally been more susceptible to UV degradation.
For ongoing care, Lincoln recommends specific cleaning products formulated to preserve the paint’s finish without harsh chemicals that could damage the protective layers. Regular waxing with a high-quality carnauba-based product is recommended to maintain the exceptional depth and gloss of the Corsair finishes.

Each shade has been carefully developed as an integral part of the vehicle’s design language, rather than a simple afterthought, ensuring that every Corsair presents a cohesive and sophisticated appearance, regardless of the selected hue.
This attention to colour development exemplifies an approach to thoughtful luxury, creating vehicles that satisfy both aesthetic desires and practical considerations while maintaining a distinctive brand identity. The result is a lineup that allows customers to express their individual preferences while enjoying the consistent quality and refinement that define the Lincoln brand.
Questions and Answers
What is the most popular exterior colour for the Lincoln Corsair?
While preferences vary by region, Infinite Black and Pristine White consistently rank among the most popular choices, with Artisan Blue gaining significant popularity in the new model year due to its distinctive appearance, which balances uniqueness with timeless appeal.
Do certain colours affect the resale value of the Lincoln Corsair?
Traditional shades like white, black, and silver typically maintain stronger resale value due to their broader appeal. However, distinctive hues like Burgundy Velvet and Gilded Green can sometimes command premium pricing in the pre-owned market due to their relative rarity and appeal to enthusiasts looking for something unique.
Can I order a custom colour for my Lincoln Corsair?
While there aren’t factory-custom shades for individual orders, the brand occasionally produces limited-run special editions with exclusive hues. The new palette offers sufficient variety to satisfy most preferences within the regular production options.
How does Lincoln develop new colours for the Corsair?
The development process typically begins three to four years before a model’s release. The team studies global design trends, architectural influences, fashion, and consumer preferences. Potential hues undergo extensive testing for durability, appearance under various lighting conditions, and manufacturing feasibility before being approved for production.
Are there any special care instructions for maintaining the appearance of my Corsair paint?
To maintain your finish, Lincoln recommends regular washing with pH-neutral automotive soap, avoiding automatic car washes with abrasive brushes, and applying a quality carnauba wax every three to four months. For metallic and pearl finishes, using a pre-wax cleaner helps remove embedded contaminants that can dull the finish over time.
