Automotive Media Reviews for Corsair Grand Touring


Recommended Posts

Tnx for the link, 8.6 out of a possible 10 for the GT, not bad !  I had a 2010 Fusion hybrid which had pretty much the same atkinson 2.5 and the biggest ‘problem’ I heard from others was that the ICE was loud, and it was compared to EV mode, nothing out of ordinary IMO - I’m waiting to see whats new for the 2023s ...

Ford attempted to address that problem in Corsair Grand Touring and Ford Escape Hybrid/PHEV with additional sound deadening and refinements to the engine itself, compared to older Ford hybrid vehicles. Overall, NVH from the ICE should be less intrusive in a Corsair GT compared to your 2010 Fusion Hybrid. 

 

Still, with all hybrids there will be more noise when the ICE kicks in. Just the nature of ICE vs electric motors.

I had a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus AWD with the 2.7L ICE.  The Nautilus was significantly quieter than my 2021 Corsair GT when the ICE kicks in.

Does the Corsair GT 2.5 ICE have a engine cover to help reduce noice?
