Beautiful SUV but would not buy again.

2018 Lincoln Navigator L Select 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
I am a professional driver that puts 5000 miles a month on a vehicle so this will not pertain to most drivers, but here is my review. I love the look and comfort as do my clients but for a $70,000 vehicle there are way too many electrical issues and I do not feel great long term with this vehicle like I did my Chevrolet Suburban. Headlights and brake light went out at 10,000 miles. Radio … keeps not working. Side mirrors make clicking noises. Lincoln service is TERRIBLE at least in my market. They keep my car over a week every time. Can not wait to get back to Chevy or possibly a Tesla.
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator L Select SUV
Pros & Cons
- Pro:Lots of cargo room in both the standard and extended-length versions
- Pro:Easy-to-use tech interface
- Pro:Strong turbocharged V6 has plenty of power for towing
- Pro:Long options list full of available safety equipment
- Con:Massive size makes in-city maneuvering difficult
Which Navigator does Edmunds recommend?
While the base Premiere trim level is appealing for its lower starting price and the topped-out Black Label trim comes with almost everything as standard, our recommendation falls right in the middle of the lineup. We say go with the Select trim level with the optional Technology package. The Select trim level gets the benefit of the surround-view parking camera system and the adaptive suspension, while the Technology package adds all sorts of desirable top-end safety equipment such as adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning and intervention.

Driving
8.0Considering the size and weight of the Navigator, it does a surprisingly good job of keeping itself tidy. The drivetrain is quick and responsive, the steering is low-effort, and the suspension is relatively slop-free. The one caveat is it performs best on premium fuel, which may get expensive.
Comfort
8.0You'd expect the Navigator to be comfortable, and it delivers. Seat comfort is excellent, and the adaptive suspension is good at filtering out sharp impacts. The climate control system works effectively to keep you delightfully cool or warm and toasty.
Interior
8.5The Navigator has interior room in spades, and its smart design maximizes ease of entry. A lot of controls require some familiarization time, but ultimately they are easy to use. Cameras help you maneuver this large SUV in tight spaces.
Utility
8.5If it's space you want, it's what you'll get, even without the extended L Navigator model. There's an abundance of in-cabin storage for everyone's personal effects, and power-folding seats make loading longer cargo items a breeze. Need to tow something? The Navigator can handle up to 8,300 pounds.
Technology
8.5With an excellent infotainment interface, superb sound-system quality, comprehensive driving aids and ample device-charging options, the Navigator has embraced the latest technology without reservation. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a Wi-Fi hotspot are icing on the cake.
