About the 2023 Lincoln Navigator

4th generation Navigator (2018-2024), 2023 model year; second year after the 2022 mid-cycle refresh.

Lincoln positions the Navigator as its flagship large luxury SUV: a quiet, roomy three-row vehicle built for long trips, family hauling, and confident towing more than sharp-corner sportiness. Its core appeal is big-SUV capability wrapped in a calmer, more comfort-focused cabin than many rivals, with strong turbo V6 power, a tall seating position, a plush ride, and a technology-heavy dashboard that aims to make long highway drives easier and less tiring.

Standard is a well-equipped starting point with a twin-turbo V6, adaptive suspension, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, and a 360-degree camera. Reserve adds genuine leather, a head-up display, and hands-free highway driving. Black Label emphasizes richer materials and comfort with themed interiors, 30-way massaging front seats, and a 28-speaker audio system.

The biggest change for the 2024 Lincoln Navigator is that four-wheel drive became standard on every trim. Otherwise, it is a light final-year update rather than a redesign.

“I love it. Great size and extremely comfortable. When the 3rd row is up, the truck space is a little small. If you need more trunk space I would recommend going with the XL version.”
