Comparison Review

Comfort
The Lincoln Corsair offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen Taos, with comparable head- and legroom. The Lincoln Corsair will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Taos.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Lincoln Corsair as you will with the Volkswagen Taos, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Lincoln Corsair will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Lincoln Corsair is much wider than the Volkswagen Taos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Lincoln Corsair, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen Taos.

Handling
The Lincoln Corsair has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Taos, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Lincoln Corsair greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Taos.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Lincoln Corsair does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen Taos.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Lincoln Corsair and the Volkswagen Taos. The Lincoln Corsair has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Taos, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
