That's a great question, and it's remarkably easy to answer since the Lincoln Navigator is unequivocally the most impressive full-size SUV on the road. Since we're your Brooklyn Lincoln dealer, it's probably no surprise that we have so much affection for this large and powerful vehicle, but we're also happy to provide specific reasons as to why we feel this way. For starters, Lincoln's engineers have clearly thought about the driving experience with the Navigator and provided a powerful engine inside it that makes it fun to drive, even with its large size.
Speaking of its size, the Navigator is the perfect option if you need plenty of room inside for friends and family or for loading up with stuff before you hit the road. You get three rows of seating, so you can take up to eight passengers with you, with stunning luxury features and options to ensure everyone remains as comfortable as possible. Plus, the Navigator comes with advanced technology to make your drive easier and ensure you enjoy the latest innovations designed to elevate your experience behind the wheel. Wrap up all that in the gorgeous and powerful exterior Lincoln has given this SUV—plus the incredible safety features that help ensure you get home safely each day—and you'll be driving home in an unbeatable piece of machinery.
Bold Power and Remarkable Performance
In order for us to love any vehicle—even one made by Lincoln—it has to be enjoyable to drive, and that typically comes down to the engine; even if not solely the engine, that's where it starts. Nothing else really matters if you sit in a vehicle, press the pedal, and you're met with a lackluster, lukewarm, and disappointingly meager response. With a large SUV like the Navigator, this is even more important since you need enough power to not only make it fun to drive but also to feel like you'll be able to get up a hill and have the muscle you need when you're merging with faster traffic on the highway. Bigger vehicles need more horsepower to accelerate at the same rates as their smaller competitors.
Fortunately, Lincoln's engineers understand this, and the Navigator comes with a powerful engine that also ensures you'll have a good time behind the wheel. You get a 3.5L Turbo V6 engine inside the 2023 Navigator that delivers a stunning 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque, which comes paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the Navigator, though four-wheel drive is available if you prefer it, and it's a great choice for dealing with rough weather—particularly in the winter.
A powerful engine is great, but what we like most is that this is the standard engine rather than an available option with a weaker powertrain standard—something you'll find too often in vehicles from other manufacturers. This means you don't have to worry about choosing a particular option or paying more to get the kind of power you deserve in your full-size SUV. You can choose a trim level with the sort of features and options you want in your vehicle, secure in the knowledge that the engine in your Navigator will be powerful enough to put a smile on your face every time you hit the road.
A Spacious, Comfortable Interior
Since most of your time with your vehicle will be spent inside of it, the interior is one of the most important things to look at, and it's a big reason that we love the Navigator as much as we do. For starters, the interior is gorgeous, so even before you get inside, just the sight of it as you open the door is enough to get you looking forward to the trip ahead of you. This is something that can be easily overlooked; plus, with the Navigator, you have three spacious rows of seating that are incredibly comfortable and remarkably welcoming.
Depending on the model and features you choose, you'll find seating for either eight or seven passengers inside the Lincoln Navigator, so this is a fantastic option if you have a lot of people that you need to get around the city. There are actually two different Navigator models: the standard Navigator and the Navigator L, which is almost a foot longer. The standard Navigator has about 19 cu.ft. of rear cargo space, with more than 57 cu.ft. of cargo volume behind the second row and more than 103 cu.ft. of total cargo space behind the front seats. With the Navigator L, you'll get more than 34 cu.ft. of cargo space in the back, with more than 73 cu.ft. of cargo volume behind the second row and about 120 cu.ft. of total cargo space behind the front row.
Advanced Technology Throughout
Not only do you get plenty of room to stretch out inside the Lincoln Navigator, but you'll also find remarkable technology to enjoy. With the starting Navigator Standard trim, you get a 13.2-inch LCD infotainment display, a 12-inch configurable LCD driver display, and a Revel Audio 14-speaker sound system. Other standard features include tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, ambient lighting, and a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror. Intelligent access with a push-button start, a wireless charging pad, and heated front and second-row seats are also standard.
The highest trim for the Navigator, the Black Label, elevates your experience with truly remarkable features inside and out. This includes gorgeous genuine wood accents, a head-up display that provides you with information on your windshield so you can keep your eyes on the road, and heated and ventilated front- and second-row seats. Black Label models include Perfect Position 30-way front seats with Active Motion functionality, leather seating surfaces, and a stunning Revel Ultimate 3D audio system with 28 speakers for a listening experience that's simply impossible to describe.
Exquisite Design and Rich Details
We've never seen anything quite like the 2023 Navigator and the sophisticated design that it brings to the road. For starters, there's the available approach detection system that can tell when you're approaching your vehicle, and it will go through an illumination sequence to greet and remind you that you're about to enter an SUV unlike any other. With 3D tail lamps that provide a warm glow around the tailgate, available illuminated power running boards to guide you when getting in and out of your vehicle, and available massaging seats, you'll look forward to every opportunity to get into the Navigator and go for a drive.
All This & So Much More
At the end of the day, perhaps the most remarkable thing about the Lincoln Navigator is that we have only explored the tip of the iceberg. In addition to what we've covered, we could spend as much time exploring the innovative safety features it has, including things like the available Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 Drive system with ActiveGlide, which provides you with hands-free driving capability on more than 130,000 miles of roads throughout North America. Other remarkable technology like Adaptive Cruise Control and a 360-Degree Camera are also standard, providing you with a driving experience that surpasses what's available on many other vehicles out there.
Ultimately, words simply fail to do justice to the 2023 Navigator and everything that it brings to the road. Fortunately, however, you don't have to take our word for it!
