Did a great deal of research and traded a 2014 BMW X5D for the 2018 Nav. LOVE it - but it IS big! The machine is great. There is not one negative to this ride and we LOVE it! This is the finest automobile we have ever owned. It only gets better every drive. Lincoln has done an amazing job with this machine.

Unfortunate Very noticeable flaw

Look at front console..passenger side cup holder door misaligned to the point it immediately draws your eye. The right front coroner of the door slops down almost 1/4" : the right "seam" of the door is very tight while the opposite side has about 1/8" gap...driver side door OK . Makes the console look like a 3rd world after market product . Not my definition of luxury.

I've had this SUV for a year now and I drive it up and down steep, curvy mountains in PA often and drive 8+ hrs straight on trips. I love it. I've only had one issue so far, and it seems like it was a freak thing...the driver side door would not close during a cold winter day right after I got it. But Lincoln sent a tow truck (for free) to pick it up and they replaced the latch just in case. The seal must have froze, which has never happened to any of my cars without rain, ice or snow involved. It was a dry day, so not sure how it happened; faulty seal? I love driving this thing, you sit very high up, like a typical large truck and the seats are SOOO comfy. The front seats massage and are heated, with soft leather. So nice. And the controls are intuitive, easy to change settings, and just very nicely organized. We use the back seat row all the time...it's good for constant use for adults. They're not "just in case" seats to use occasionally like other SUVs. The rear could use better suspension, I think they improved this on the newer models. You feel the motion in the back more than middle or front seats. Not a place to be if you get car sick. A big down side of having a Lincoln is the service department was terrible at my dealer. Was NOT luxury treatment. For a car this expensive, I expected better service. On the physical side, the storage is limited...the trunk size in this non-L version is tight. I have to put back seats down constantly to haul ANYTHING. I went from a Honda Odyssey to this, and I miss that trunk space. But this SUV is powerful and very pretty. Great safety features, fun to drive, very fast, nice sound system, good tow capacity. Love it.

There is not one thing I don't love about my new Navigator. From the looks and lines of the exterior, to the amazing materials and design of the interior, the fresh new technology, the engine and the way it rides. I feel like a pilot in this vehicle and I feel like I'm riding a rocket ship through space. This car was a dream come true for me because I wanted one for years. I leased the Black Label and I wouldn't change a thing. I have not had one problem with this. I have heard that some people have had issues with the technology, but not me. The dealership even gave us a free Roku so the kids could have everything set up on their screens in the backseat because they thought it would ease and issues. We still have the Roku in the box, there just hasn't been a need for it. everything works fine. We pay $20/month for Wi-Fi in the car, and that has been a Godsend on roadtrips and saved us on our mobile data! Especially with two teens!! I only drive black cars, so I only had 3 options to choose from as far as interior colors because I got the Black Label. It was white, burgundy, or a light blue. No white with the kids and doggos, I don't like burgundy, so I got the blue. It is gorgeous. It's easy to clean, sleek and just a dream come true. It runs amazing in all the drive modes - excite, slippery, 4x4. Doesn't matter what drive mode I use, it runs like a dream. I absolutely love this SUV!!!

Beautiful SUV but would not buy again.

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.

This a review of a 2019. The engine has a loud noise when starting it. I have found one other person experiencing this same issue. I am now experiencing a vibration under the gas pedal. When I am coming to a stop the vehicle jerks a little.

This is my second Lincoln Navigator I have owned. I purchased it brand new in June of 2018. In the first 18 months of ownership it spent 77 days in the shop. Mainly a variety of electrical issues that they couldn't figure out how to repair. Seats that would move on their own, hatch that would open by itself, side mirrors that would get stuck and click, and a strange sound coming from the engine at start up. Trying to resolve this will BBB and Lincoln Customers service to no avail. For a $100k car, I would expect better customer service. If you want to talk about comfort, drivability, and options, this car is top notch! Just a shame that it's had so many issues and it has sat so many days at the dealer waiting for repair vs in my driveway.

Great truck but sometimes not so great.

First off it’s a love hate relationship. I love the truck most of the time. Big, roomy, the most comfortable truck I’ve ever owned. Love the styling, the retro yet modern interior. The stereo, revel ultimate, is fantastic. The massage seats are great. The performance is outstanding. Plenty of power and handles much smaller then it’s size. Gas mileage sucks but to be expected from a truck this size. The cons however is that the truck is not super reliable. I’ve had issues with my 18 that were so bad I had to trade it in on the 19 I have. This one is much better but still had to have the cam phasers replaced, heater hoses replaced, and little stuff like the lights for the seat control. Overall I still love the truck but wish the little things would stop breaking.

I thought buying this car was going to be the best vehicle I've had yet but NOPE, that's not the case! I switched from a Yukon Denali XL and HATE it. I have a gravel driveway and this damn car hates coming up my driveway, I have to put it in deep conditions just to make it up an that's in nice weather. I've owned this car for over 1 year and am losing my A$$ to trade it in. And that's with a 5yr loan and I have been paying extra every month since my 1st payment. The car has an awkward thump when it down shifts while coming to a stop that I despise of. When you want to change a seat setting, climate control, a text comes through on your phone, or you want to turn on the seat massager, your entire screen gets taken over. So you better hope your not using your navigation and a text comes through during a confusing intersection. It sucks and I absolutely hate this vehicle. I am looking to trade it in on the BMW X7 and can only pray it isn't as big of a let down as this vehicle. Now for the Premium maintenance package - keep an eye out for what your being charged for. I had my car in for an oil change and inspection. They called and said it needed wipers and an alignment, they ended up charging me for the wipers and weren't supposed to. Make sure to read what you bought and pay attention! When I purchased they told me it was for so many years, turns out it's only for 12 times. My advice is don't do it!!!!
