Lincoln Navigator

The Navigator is a full-size three-row luxury SUV that accommodates seven to eight passengers, depending on the configuration. Available in two sizes (a standard length and an extended-wheelbase L version, which is about a foot longer), it is the largest SUV in Lincoln’s lineup, slotting above the Aviator, its midsize sibling.

Since 2017, Lincoln has offered the Navigator in four trims: the entry-level base, the mid-tier Select (discontinued in 2020), the well-equipped Reserve, and the range-topping Black Label. Prior to 2017, it came in a single trim with a wide range of available packages offering varying levels of additional equipment, features, and styling. Lincoln has added popular tech features over the years, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which became standard in 2018. A 13.2-inch touchscreen replaced a 10-inch predecessor for 2022. Advanced driver and safety features such as blind-spot monitoring (since 2018), lane-keeping assist and forward collision mitigation (since 2020), and adaptive cruise control (since 2022) are standard across all trims after previously appearing as options on select trims.

Following a complete redesign for the 2018 model year, the Navigator received a revised twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 (450 hp, 510 lb-ft of torque) mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, improving output by 70 horses and 50 lb-ft of torque compared to the version it replaced. Prior to that (2007-2014), the Navigator was outfitted with a 5.4-liter V8 (310 hp, 365 lb-ft). Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is optional on most Navigator models. No hybrid or electric variants are available.
