Changes to the 2023 Lincoln Models

Jessica Shea Choksey | Dec 12, 2022

For 2023, Lincoln's four-model crossover and SUV lineup receives minor changes across the board. The AviatorNautilus, and Navigator each arrive with new exterior color offerings and appearance package upgrades, while the most significant changes affect Lincoln's smallest SUV, the Corsair. It receives a smartly conceived mid-cycle refresh, including hands-free highway driving technology. Aside from the Corsair dropping one of its engines, all powertrains across the model line remain carryover. Here are updates for each 2023 Lincoln model.

For 2023, the 3-row midsize Lincoln Aviator receives minor edits, primarily to packaging and color schemes. Buyers can now equip the Black Label version with an available Jet appearance package, which brings black trim and wheels. The new Black Label Special Edition Luxe variant includes the Jet appearance package and gives the SUV a two-tone look. In addition, buyers can add the Jet appearance package to the Reserve II trim. Lincoln now offers Diamond Red and Jewel Sandstone as new exterior paint colors.

Headed into its fourth year of production, the Lincoln Corsair gets an anticipated mid-cycle refresh that brings mild updates to the exterior, interior, and under the hood. The front fascia gets a new look with a revised grille and newly sculpted daytime running lights. The Corsair now also offers the Jet appearance package, bringing black accents and wheels for a more prestigious presence.

Within, the cabin receives a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch infotainment display. But the tech story goes even further with the addition of Lincoln's available ActiveGlide hands-free driving system to an already robust advanced driver assistance system suite. ActiveGlide includes lane-change assistance, lane-centering assistance, and curve-speed management.

Rounding out the Corsair's updates for 2023 is the elimination of the turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine. However, the 250-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder and plug-in hybrid powertrains return unchanged.

Similar to 2022, Lincoln's midsize crossover SUV carries over with virtually no changes. There are only two minor updates to the Nautilus. First, Jewel Sandstone is a new exterior color. Second, the Premium package is now available on the base Nautilus trim. The Premium package includes 18-inch machined aluminum wheels, a power tilt/telescoping steering column, a universal garage door opener, and connected built-in navigation with a voice-activated touchscreen.

2023 Lincoln Navigator Changes - Find the best Lincoln deals!

Lincoln's largest and most well-known nameplate, the Navigator, returns for 2023 with a minor enhancement to its towing capabilities. The Navigator receives an electronic limited-slip differential as part of its Heavy Duty Trailer Tow package. The flagship SUV model also gains a new exterior color: Diamond Red Tri-Coat. Also, the previously available Manhattan Green is now a paint option for SUVs wearing the Chalet or Invitation Black Label interior themes. Those pairings were not available for 2022.
