The Corsair's design follows cues set out by other recent Lincoln crossovers such as the Nautilus and Aviator, with Lincoln's usual grille shape on the nose, swept-back headlights on the fenders, and what designer David Woodhouse calls "S-curve" surfacing on the body sides, hood and liftgate. There are painted black pillars to simulate the cliched floating-roof effect. A large spoiler tops the angled D-pillar, and as on other Lincolns, a full-width LED taillight strip stretches across the liftgate. The car's look is meant to embody a "Quiet Flight" mantra, Woodhouse said. It's a stylish car, if not quite as immediately attractive as the Aviator.

"We wanted to create a dramatic, youthful Lincoln, but with terrific harmony," Woodhouse said of the design, describing the Corsair as "the most dramatic expression of Quiet Flight."
