2022 Lincoln Navigator Overview
While the Lincoln Navigator shares its mechanicals and basic setup with the Ford Expedition, that's about where the similarities end. The Lincoln Navigator has a deluxe, spacious cabin adorned with fine materials, leather comfort, wood panels and trim, knurled metal knobs, and all the technology you could imagine.
Engine and Performance
The 2022 Navigator is powered by a hefty, responsive twin-turbocharged 3.5L V-6, putting out a roaring 440 horsepower. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, it smoothly shifts through gears effortlessly. You can tow up to 8,700 lbs. as well, making this one of the best all-around luxury SUVs.
Interior, Comfort, and Luxury
One of the strongest aspects of the Navigator is its lavish, roomy, and downright beautiful interior. The materials include open-pore wood trim, hand-stitched leather, and other premium qualities. There's plenty of legroom in the third-row seats, significantly more space than the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. The Navigator also offers 30-way adjustable massaging front seats, allowing you to perfectly dial in your comfort. The sculptural seats are some of the most comfortable in any production vehicle. You can even adjust the individual right and left thigh support. A large cabin makes for perfect road trips with plenty of space for luggage and passengers alike.
