Lincoln Navigator Overview
The Lincoln Navigator fell off the saddle for a while, but a new generation launched for 2018 brought confidence and a true luxury aura. The eight-seat Navi stands tall thanks to an elegant and athletic exterior and a refined interior design. Lincoln only offers one powertrain option, a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine that pairs with a 10-speed automatic, across Standard, Reserve, and Black Label trims. It makes 450-horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque and is rated at 18-19 mpg combined, depending on the model. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but four-wheel drive is available on all trims. Lincoln also offers an extended Navigator L that is 221.9 inches long with a 131.6-inch wheelbase compared to the standard model that is 210 inches long with a 122.5-inch wheelbase. Those looking for classy adventures will be pleased with the Navigator’s 8,100—8,700-pound maximum towing capacity. Although fresh competition just emerged in the form of an all-new Cadillac Escalade, the Navigator is one of the best and biggest premium hauling vehicles on the market today.
Trim Specifications
Without adding anything, the Navigator presents numerous standard features that make for a luxury experience. On all trims, it has the Co-Pilot360 safety suite, LED lighting with adaptive headlights, active grille shutters, three-zone automatic climate control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a heated steering wheel, an embedded 4G modem with available Wi-Fi capability, a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen unit, heated and ventilated 10-way power front seats, and side-wind stabilization. Upgrading to the Reserve trim adds adaptive suspension, 22-inch wheels, illuminated power running boards, a panoramic sunroof, a cargo area reversible mat, 24-way power leather-trimmed front seats with memory, and second-row power folding heated captain chairs. The ultimate trim, the Black Label, comes standard with four-wheel drive and loads on the comfort and convenience with an illuminated grille Lincoln logo, tow hooks and hill-descent control, first- and second-row illuminated belt buckles, a head-up display, a 20-speaker Revel sound system, Black Label floor mats, massaging leather-trimmed 30-way power front seats, and unique 22-inch wheels. On Standard and Reserve trims, four-wheel drive is a $2,675 upcharge.
