The

2020 Lincoln Corsair configurator

is open for business, and that means we also know the luxury compact

crossover’s

price. It starts at $36,940, including the $995 destination charge. If you try your hardest and tick every single box

Lincoln

lets you, it’s possible to get the price above $60,000. We’re not suggesting you do that like we did, but it’s always interesting to know how high it can go.

The base price gets you a Corsair “Standard” that is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque sent to the front wheels. If you want all-wheel drive, Lincoln forces the selection of the “Standard I” equipment package to go with, which ends up resulting in a $3,600 increase. That package consists of ambient lighting, a universal garage door opener, navigation and 18-inch wheels. One of the more expensive boxes you’re likely to check on the entry-level trim is the Co-Pilot360 Plus Package for $3.050. That includes a bunch of driver assistance gear like adaptive cruise control, lane centering, sign recognition and evasive steering assist. A $2,500 Premium Package nets premium leather seats, a panoramic roof and 19-inch wheels.

Of course, you can skip a lot of the option and package jumping by choosing the “Reserve” trim that begins at $43,625 with some premium stuff already included. This also unlocks the ability to get the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, that makes 280 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Selecting this forces the Reserve I package and all-wheel drive onto the table, which gives you a ton of equipment, but also increases the price by $6,740. This makes the cheapest Corsair with the most powerful engine start at $50,365. You can go crazy from there, tacking on the Reserve II Package for features like adaptive suspension, vented front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, 360-degree camera, wireless charging pad, digital gauge cluster and rain-sensing wipers. Like we said, this thing can get near or over $60,000 without much effort.

The base price of the Corsair compares favorably to other compact luxury crossovers like the $41,995

BMW X3

and $40,700

Mercedes-Benz GLC

. However, adding in a desirable option like the higher-output engine brings the price up considerably. A

Cadillac XT4

just barely undercuts it at its base price of $35,795, but we really liked what we saw of the Corsair at the

New York Auto Show compared to the XT4

. Expect an even more expensive Black Label and a

hybrid

variant to follow later this year or next. The Corsair is slated to arrive in

dealers

this fall, so you have the configurator to play with until then.
