Great ride, but so hum for kids

The ride, quality materials and others are great on this vehicle. Many have already highlighted the PROS and I agree with them. This is from a 4 month ownership review of four "not worth it" aspect. 1) $2K rear entertainment system is not worth it. First, the dual screens are not touch screen (why not?) and to compound it, the navigation is too awkward and frustrating. Second, the screens have to be sync'd to the car speakers via bluetooth, how awkward - we experience sound delays and you have to pair the bluetooth after each ignition, for which you have to navigate the complicated screens and wait for the sync. Why not just a dedicated, simple wire connection (and bring the cost down)? 2) 3rd row gets a lot of the exhaust sound. You would not notice this unless you've experience it in real world situations. The droning sound is annoying in mid-long trips. Extra sound-proofing is required for $90K+ vehicle. 3) Climate change take the entire user interface/navi screen. When you need to see the navi route, its obscured by the single large dial that tell me that the climate fan is changed from 2 to 3 speed and then you wait for it disappear. Its not a good design. 4) I heard of the parts shortage that's slowing down vehicle production and in Nov, just 3 weeks of ownership, the vehicle got rear-ended and that when I fully understood the supply chain issue. The vehicle was brought into a Lincoln authorized body shop for the rear bumper and underlying plastic pieces to be replaced. We were given a 1 week turn-around time. The body shop called and told us that the parts were back-ordered (even after we were assured that the parts would arrive that week). Regional Ford/Lincoln parts depot quoted a new delivery the following week. Again, the body shop called to tell us there was a delay in the parts delivery due to back-order. This happened 2 more times. We waited and waited. Finally after 6 weeks at the shop, the repairs were completed. Lesson learned.

Awful entertainment system

I never write reviews but don’t want anyone to make the same mistake that I did by buying the Lincoln entertainment system. This is the worst entertainment system i’ve Ever seen in a car. The system is completely separate from the car itself (like sticking 2 iPads on the back of the seats) and can not be controlled from the front easily. It also is not integrated with the car sound system (my kids are too little to wear headphones) so that I can not have something play on the entertainment system through the speakers & have it switch to a phone call on Bluetooth because rather than having the entertainment system wired to the sound system, it’s just a Bluetooth connection for the sound with the entertainment system. So basically i need to choose between screaming kids or taking a phone call safely in my car. Would have expected better from Lincoln. Nobody in Lincoln or the dealership wants to take responsibility for this awful system they sold me.

2018 Lincoln Navigator Premiere 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

I purchased the Premier/base model with two wheel drive. I wanted all the luxury without the high price of the other models. It comes standard with navigation, blind spot monitoring, front and back parking sensors. I didn't want a sunroof or the technology package. I mainly wanted the 20 inch wheels which provide a smooth ride without needing adaptive suspension that comes with the 22 inch wheels. You also fixed steps instead of automatic steps on the side. Once you are inside the interior and seating are the same as select and reserve models. I got a great deal for 68,900 so my depreciation wont be as great as the higher end models. I have averaged 21mpg over the first 4000 miles.

Almost Perfect

What's not to love about the new Navigator. I'm coming out of a Denali, and there's simply no comparison. Much better interior space, and much higher trim level then Denali or Escalade. I appreciate the amount of power available as well as the fuel economy. For the overall big SUV luxury category this is the new industry leader. There is only one detraction - the rear Air Conditioning. The AC simply can't keep the second row cool, and the third row doesn't have a prayer. I took my Navigator in for service. The company is aware of the issue, but as of yet - does not have a solution. If you live in a warm climate and/or expect to have many rear passengers - please be ware. Other then that, this Navigator is a joy to drive, allowing all to arrive in comfort and style!

I had to get a larger car because of a growing family. Owned the Gl450 which is a great suv. Had some electrical issues but that seems to come with the territory of a Benz. The new navigator is impressive. Looks are great. Drives like a much smaller suv. Interior is very upscale and seats super comfortable. We love it as a family. Roomy and great ride. It’s only been 2 weeks so no answer in reliability. But they pickup car at home and give a loaner so it’s a low stress issue.
