Lincoln Plans 5 Electric SUVs By 2026
Highlights
- There will be five electric SUVs under the Lincoln brand
- They will replace many staples like the Navigator and Nautilus
- Ford thinks of Lincoln as a major cog in its EV wheel
Ford's flagship luxury brand Lincoln is also going all-electric and it will be launching 5 new electric SUVs by 2026 according to a report by Reuters. The SUVs will be replacing the Lincoln Corsair, Nautilus, and Navigator. Originally, Lincoln planned its electric SUVs for 2030.
The first EV will be a large crossover which will be about the price of the Aviator which will be made from 2024 and 2025 in Ford's Oakville in Canada as a part of a $1.5 billion upgrade to the facility.
Reuters claims there are several more Lincoln crossovers by 2025-2026. There will also be smaller EVs that will improve upon the Mustang Mach-E EV platform. The larger EV which is going to be an alternative to the Navigator will be based on the next-generation Ford F-150 Lightning. This is interesting as Ford is slated to start deliveries of the first generation of the F-150 Lightning only this year.
Lincoln is a key part of the $30 billion investment in EVs and battery-powered vehicles by 2030. Ford is going all-in on electric powertrains and there is even chatter that it could spin-off its EV unit under former Apple and Tesla executive Doug Field who joined the company last year.
