Pros

Strong turbocharged V6 with ample power for towing
Three comfortable rows of seats
Lots of cargo room
Easy-to-use technology interface

Cons

Disappointing real-world fuel economy
Ride quality can be a little too floaty at times

What's new

Flight Blue Metallic added to paint selections
Four-wheel drive comes standard; rear-wheel drive discontinued
Part of the fourth Navigator generation introduced for 2018

Overview

Large luxury sedans like the Continental and Town Car once served as Lincoln's flagship models, but today it's a large luxury SUV. Like those yesteryear sedans, the 2024 Lincoln Navigator combines a plush cabin and soft ride with robust power and towing capacity. (those old Town Cars could tow!) But today's Navigator also offers technology beyond even the high-tech standards of those days, highlighted by infinitely adjustable seats and the optional BlueCruise hands-free driving system. Despite middling fuel efficiency, the Navigator is a benchmark. Fittingly, it's our No. 2 pick for a large luxury SUV.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Lincoln Navigator Premiere 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.64 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: If it ain't broke

The Navigator rolls into 2024 with just one notable change. Four-wheel drive, previously optional, now comes standard. Combined with a low-speed transfer case, every Navigator can now better handle tricky conditions or terrain. This minor update follows last year's round of minimal changes, but this isn't much of a concern. The current Navigator is pretty good as is. With its muscular turbo V6 and stout chassis engineered alongside the F-150, the Navigator can tow up to 8,700 pounds. Among big luxe SUVs, only the Jeep Grand Wagoneer can pull more. It can seat up to eight passengers with room to stretch, and if you need more cargo space, there's always the Navigator L version, which adds nearly a foot of length.

Competitors to consider

The Cadillac Escalade shares similar features and sophistication with the Navigator. You can't go wrong with either. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer offers impressive power and towing capacity but falls short of the same luxury. The Infiniti QX80 costs less, but its ancient platform and abysmal fuel economy don't make it a bargain. The Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7 are smaller and less powerful with similar features and equal or better fuel economy. For luxury off-roading, the Land Rover Defender is hard to beat.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

How does the Navigator drive? Considering the size and weight of the Navigator, it's surprisingly good at providing strong performance and stress-free driving. The engine is quick and responsive, the steering is low-effort, and the body doesn't lean or flop over too much when you go around turns. The V6 is plenty strong and gets you up to speed in a hurry. At the Edmunds test track, our test Navigator accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds, which is about a second quicker than the last Escalade we tested.

Large vehicles tend to nose-dive or squirm around when you jam on the brakes suddenly, and the Navigator is no exception. That said, braking performance is perfectly adequate for the class. The Navigator also feels composed around town and even on tight roads. We wouldn't go so far as to call it sporty. But for the amount of comfort it provides, it's not the clumsy behemoth you'd expect it to be.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the Navigator? Wind and road noise is pretty minimal, and only a small amount of ambient noise sneaks through. The suspension is great at riding smoothly over sharp bumps or ruts. But on continuously undulating surfaces, there can be a lot of up and down body movement, which borders on uncomfortable.

The available 24-way front seats have a huge number of adjustments, more than really seem necessary. It takes a while to find a setting you like. But once you do, you'll be sublimely comfortable. The seat heaters and coolers are effective too.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The Navigator's interior is huge. The large doors, well-placed grab handles and retractable step rails make getting in and out a breeze, while the second row's ability to tilt and slide allows excellent access to the third row. Adjustable pedals and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel extend the range of driver comfort.

A lot of controls require some time to become familiar with, but ultimately they're easy to use. Visibility is decent for a vehicle this size, but there are still blind spots, mainly at the front due to chunky windshield pillars. Cameras help you maneuver in tight spaces; the 360-degree camera system is particularly helpful.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The Navigator embraces the latest technology, with an excellent 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment interface, superb sound-system quality, and an available hands-free driving mode. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot are icing on the cake.

We were impressed with the easily configurable, immersive experience offered by the 28-speaker Revel stereo in our test vehicle. The BlueCruise driving aid, which integrates blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, and forward collision detection with automatic emergency braking, offers true hands-free driving on select highways. It works very well, though the driver monitoring system seems to have strict parameters and can deactivate the hands-free mode if you're not constantly looking down the road ahead of you.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? If it's space you want, it's what you'll get, even without the extended-wheelbase Navigator L model. There's 19.3 cubic feet behind the third row, 57.5 cubes behind the second row, and 103.3 cubes with the rear seats folded. All the rear seats fold flat electronically. The second-row center console sits higher than the seat bottoms, though, which prevents a fully flat load area.

There is also an abundance of in-cabin storage for everyone's personal items, with tons of cubbies of varying sizes and a deep console bin. The anchors for car seats are slightly tucked away in the seat creases, which make them a little hard to access, but the top tethers are easy to get to and there's plenty of space to fit a rear-facing car seat.

Need to tow something? A properly equipped Navigator can manage up to 8,700 pounds (8,300 pounds if you get the 4WD). This is one of the highest capacities in the large luxury SUV class.

Fuel Economy

6.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? Based on the EPA estimate of 18 mpg in combined city/highway driving, the Navigator is less efficient than many of the newer class offerings. We averaged 14.0 mpg over 700 miles of mixed driving on premium fuel (our best fill was 15.9 mpg with a lot of highway miles) so we think the EPA's estimate may be difficult to achieve in the real world.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Navigator a good value? The Navigator looks and feels like it's worth the money, especially from the inside. Design has brought Lincoln a long way. The floating center console, touchscreen arrangement and wrapped dash elevate the Navigator's appeal to new heights. Considering what you get for the money, the Navigator undercuts the competition and stands out as a smart choice overall.

Lincoln offers a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, comparable to other luxury brands, though its six-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty is above average, just like Cadillac's. Owners who opt for the Black Label trim receive a pretty extensive list of benefits and features, including free car washes and vehicle pickup and drop-off for complimentary maintenance covered for four years/50,000 miles.

Wildcard

9.5/10

The Navigator is the first vehicle in a long time that's made us excited about the Lincoln brand. It's awesome on many levels. It's comfy, quick and surprisingly stylish. It's not sporty, but no one really expects vehicles of this size to be. There's road presence without being overly garish.

Which Navigator does Edmunds recommend?

The Reserve adds features that make it worth the jump from the base Premiere trim, including leather upholstery, upgraded front seats and the BlueCruise hands-free driving system. The optional Luxury package also merits a look for its upgraded audio system and more comfortable seats. The Black Label is plush, but it's hard to justify the extra cost for what you get.

Lincoln Navigator models

The 2024 Lincoln Navigator is available in Premiere, Reserve and Black Label trim levels. Each has a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (440 horsepower, 510 lb-ft of torque) paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive.

An extended-wheelbase model — the Navigator L — is also available in all three trim levels. The Navigator L adds almost 12 inches of length, expands cargo capacity, and increases fuel tank capacity from 23 to 27 gallons.

After years of Navigators I became bored and bought a few different Suv's, until the new Navigator was announced. I ordered one immediately!

2020 Lincoln Navigator Reserve 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

BEWARE of the Navigators interior, a light color interior seating can discolor from wearing blue jeans. The dealer will tell you its common with High Grade Leather however the purchasing department will tell you before they order a light interior the Manufacturer warns them seating may discolor. IMPORTANT the SALESPERSON will say nothing about that.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2024 Lincoln Navigator, so we've included reviews for other years of the Navigator since its last redesign.

Lincoln Navigator vs. Cadillac Escalade

Cadillac redesigned the Escalade three years ago, giving it slightly more interior room and about 25% more cargo space than the regular-length Navigator. But unless cargo is a top priority, both models are class-leading rivals, as they have been since their late 1990s debuts. Both are opulently designed and detailed, offer similar features and cost about the same. Design sets them apart, with the Cadillac's sharper, futuristic look standing in contrast to the Lincoln's more classic style.

Compare Lincoln Navigator & Cadillac Escalade features

Lincoln Navigator vs. Ford Expedition

The Navigator and Expedition share underlying platforms, powertrains and technology, and they offer similar levels of comfort, cargo space and towing capacity. Mostly they differ in style, interior design and perks. The Lincoln is classier and more upscale, with premium materials and trim and ownership perks that include valet service for maintenance visits to the dealership. But the Expedition costs less and also offers an off-road Timberline trim level.

Compare Lincoln Navigator & Ford Expedition features

Lincoln Navigator vs. Jeep Grand Wagoneer

The Navigator and Escalade haven't worried about a domestic rival since their debuts, only smaller European and Asian alternatives. The arrival of the Grand Wagoneer in 2022 changed that. With its roomy, three-row cabin, superior cargo space (nearly 8 cubic feet more than the Navigator), and strong engines full of low-end towing power, the Wagoneer is a luxury barge from a name you don't expect. Like the Navigator, it also offers a long-wheelbase version. Although plenty comfortable, the Jeep's ride doesn't quite meet the Navigator's cushier standards, nor do some of the Grand Wagoneer's features and details rise to the Lincoln's level of luxury.
