If you’re in the market for a new car, craving luxury, and aiming for a greener future, hybrid vehicles might just be the perfect choice for you. Here we will introduce you to the basics of hybrid vehicles, the features that make them desirable, and, more specifically, highlight Lincoln’s cutting-edge hybrid models—the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring Plug-In Hybrid and the versatile Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid. By the end, you’ll have all the details you need to decide whether a Lincoln hybrid vehicle fits your lifestyle. 

Understanding Hybrid Vehicles 

Before we explore Lincoln’s standout hybrid cars, it’s essential to understand what hybrid vehicles are and why they’re an appealing option for today’s drivers. 

What Is a Hybrid Vehicle? 

Hybrid vehicles combine a traditional internal combustion engine with at least one electric motor and a battery. They use these components simultaneously or switch between them depending on the driving mode or situation. The goal? Enhanced fuel efficiency, a quieter ride, and reduced environmental impact. 

Key Features of Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs) 

Plug-in hybrids, like the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring, come with both electric batteries and gasoline engines. They offer multiple driving modes, enabling the driver to adapt the car’s settings to fit the circumstances. 

  • Regenerative Braking: While braking, the system recovers energy and stores it in the battery for later use. It’s an innovative way to maximize efficiency. 
  • Pure EV Mode: This mode delivers an electric-only driving experience, ideal for quick city commutes or situations where emissions need to be minimized. 
  • Preserve EV Mode: Need to save electric charge for later? This mode allows you to conserve the battery for electric driving when you need it most. 

The benefits of plug-in hybrids include fewer trips to the pump, smooth and quiet acceleration, and adaptable drive modes for maximum efficiency and control. 

Now that we’ve covered the basics of hybrid technology, let’s look at Lincoln’s lineup. 

Lincoln Hybrid Models 

Lincoln offers two luxurious and innovative hybrid vehicles that cater to the needs of drivers who demand excellence—both in style and performance.

Expect an electric-only range of 27 miles, with a combined electricity and gas efficiency of 80 MPGe. When running on gasoline alone, you’ll achieve 33 mpg in both city and highway driving.
