“I always tell friends that the Navigator is one of the best on the road, excellent to drive, updated technology, spacious room for cargo, second row, smooth riding.”
2019 Lincoln Navigator: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2019 is that the Reserve trim makes its driver-assist package standard. Otherwise, the Navigator is largely a carryover from the 2018 redesign.
About the 2019 Lincoln Navigator
4th generation, second model year after the 2018 redesign.
Lincoln positions the Navigator as its flagship full-size SUV that turns family travel into a first-class experience. The appeal is the combination of genuine three-row room, strong towing ability, a quiet cabin, and easy-to-use technology wrapped in a calmer, more understated luxury style than some rivals. It is meant for buyers who need full-size SUV capability but want the interior atmosphere and service experience to feel more like a premium lounge than a truck.
The standard Navigator focuses on the essentials, including a 10-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, built-in navigation, and heated first- and second-row seats. Select adds everyday conveniences such as adaptive suspension and a 360-degree camera, while Reserve brings standard 4WD, a panoramic roof, 24-way front seats, and more driver-assist equipment. Black Label tops the range with themed Venetian leather interiors, 30-way massaging front seats, and 20-speaker premium audio.
