Safety Features

The 2021 Corsair and XC40 each feature a broad range of impressive safety features. Both models earned five stars for overall safety from the NHTSA. The Corsair earned a Top Safety Pick and the Volvo earned a Top Safety Pick Plus designation from the IIHS.

Interior and Comfort

Inside the cabin, drivers will love the added room in the 2021 Lincoln Corsair. In most categories, including legroom in the first and second rows, the Lincoln features a couple more inches of space for passengers. When looking at the standard cargo capacity, not including a folded second row, the Lincoln Corsair shines again with 27.6 cubic feet compared to 21.6 cubic feet in the Volvo XC40.

Performance

The 2021 Lincoln Corsair sports a much stockier engine that drivers will love when passing vehicles or entering highways. Both SUVs feature turbocharged four-cylinder engines. However, the 2021 Lincoln Corsair features more horsepower and pound-feet of torque than the Volvo.

When you start looking at how these two models stack up, it's easy to see the Lincoln Corsair has several advantages. The Volvo earned a slightly higher safety rating from the IIHS. The Corsair earned high marks as well but with better interior and performance features.
