The Lincoln Corsair finished at the top of the Kogod Made in America Auto Index for 2022.

The annual report from American University ranks vehicles on the location of their manufacturing facilities and company headquarters, local economic impact and domestic parts content, which includes components sourced from the U.S. and Canada.

The Louisville, Kentucky-built compact SUV and its plug-in hybrid variant tied for first place thanks in part to a redesign that significantly improved on its 44th place finish last year.
