2022 Lincoln Navigator: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Lincoln Navigator gets a meaningful mid-cycle refresh, led by revised exterior styling and a much larger 13.2-inch touchscreen. It also gains adaptive suspension that reads the road ahead and expanded driver assistance, with ActiveGlide hands-free highway driving on Reserve and Black Label.
About the 2022 Lincoln Navigator
4th generation Navigator (2018-2024), mid-cycle refresh year.
Lincoln positions the Navigator as its flagship three-row luxury SUV and a rolling sanctuary for long trips. The core appeal is quiet comfort, a roomy cabin that still treats the third row seriously, strong towing ability, and easy-to-use technology wrapped in a more calming, less flashy personality than some rivals. For most shoppers, the Navigator is the choice when full-size SUV space matters just as much as premium materials and relaxed road-trip comfort.
Standard is the well-equipped starting point, with a twin-turbo V6, the new 13.2-inch touchscreen, and heated and ventilated seats in the first two rows. Reserve focuses on added comfort and includes ActiveGlide and a panoramic glass roof. Black Label tops the range with 30-way massaging front seats, 28-speaker Revel audio, richer leather and wood trim, and exclusive interior themes.
