Lincoln to Phase Out Chinese-Made Models from 2030, Boost U.S. Production

Ford Motor Company officially announced it will gradually reduce imports of Lincoln vehicles manufactured in China starting in 2030, while expanding Lincoln’s production capacity in the United States. The affected models are primarily the Corsair and Nautilus. Neither model will be discontinued, though their future production locations have not yet been determined. The Corsair was first locally produced in China in 2020 and currently offers five variants on the Chinese market, priced between RMB 268,800 and RMB 298,800. Production of the Corsair for the North American market has already ceased, with plans to reintroduce it there as an imported vehicle in 2027. Imports into North America will then be gradually phased down beginning in 2030. The Nautilus debuted in China through local production in 2021 and currently offers ten variants in the Chinese market, priced from RMB 305,800 to RMB 468,800. It is currently exported to the U.S. as an imported model and has become Lincoln’s best-selling vehicle in 2025.
