It's the status quo at Lincoln, which offers as plug-in options the Corsair and Aviator, two crossovers equipped with Dearborn's PHEV technology.

The larger Aviator comes with a very muscular powertrain, with nearly 494 hp and over 630 lb-ft of torque on offer.

The Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring is more down-to-earth, using a 2.5L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine and an electric motor for a total output of 266 hp.

Possible range (in electric mode): 34 km (Aviator) and 45 km (Corsair).
