2019 Lincoln Navigator L Reserve 4dr SUV 4WD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
25 of 25 people found this review helpful
We’re a Ford family, a new Superduty every 3-4 years for towing and still have my 2003 F-150 for routine ranch duties. I can count on one hand the number of check engine lights in >15 years and hundreds of thousands of miles (and tons), on multiple trucks. That being said there was a lot of gripes for my last Navigator (‘08), wallowing with every breeze or rut, gutlessly, down the highway. Grudgingly we stuck with the always-something-wrong but more planted and fun to drive Escalade ESV’s—just never past the end of the warranty. Lincoln finally did it right and this is easily the most comfortable vehicle I’ve ever owned: the seats are unparalleled, ergonomics are perfect, great storage and it drives like a crossover. My only gripe is I miss the Caddy’s V8 punch. Although the speedometer climbs faster it just doesn’t feel as fast or confident during 2-lane highway passing. It linearly hurdles into, and calmly/quietly handles, speeds which get you one free phone call and maybe that’s why it doesn’t feel as fast but I really wish the turbos were blowing into two banks of 4 cylinders. Well and the rear TV’s can only be figured out by the kids. Of note we’ve averaged 16.6 MPG over ~8,300 miles of mixed driving, albeit we live in rural Texas so not much city and higher-speed highway.

I couldn't be more impressed with the overall quality,comfort,and performance of my 2018 Lincoln 2wd Premier. I wanted the base/premier due to the 20 inch wheels. They increase the ride and comfort without having the adaptive suspension. The highway mileage on trips in the conserve mode reaches 23 mpg all the time. It has so many standard features that are optional on other luxury full size SUV. It uses regular unleaded and the yearly maintenance cost is a fraction of an import. The twin turbo V6 has tremendous horsepower and torque that other luxury SUV V8 cant even match. This is true American luxury reborn. I just reached 60,000 miles averaging 21mpg after three years of ownership. This is an amazing vehicle. After owning it 4 years and 66,000 miles , my dealer offered me $48,000 and I sold it back to them. I only paid $69,000 new and after 4 years of ownership, I felt that was a great resale.

After 15 months, nine times in the shop and 45 days without my car, my brand new 2019 Navigator has FINALLY been deemed a lemon. The transmission was slipping and the engine was burning oil. Lincoln told the dealership to put oil in the car and give it back to me!!! Lincoln refused to replace the engine as well as the transmission. Sadly, I absolutely loved my Navigator. It had all the bells and whistles you could ever want but mechanically the car was junk. Please don’t fall into the same trap we did. These are beautiful luxury cars but they are horrible and Lincoln’s customer service is by far worse than the vehicle they built. There is no customer service whatsoever! It was a horrible experience and I’m glad it is finally over. We are one and done for any Lincoln product in the future. As we went through this process we have discovered several other people that have had the same problem.
Car nice - dealers not so much.

Wanted a black label but they dont have black leather seatsm go figure, huge error. Purchased 2018 reserve 2 weeks ago @ 97k . Came across a couple issues. Steering column plastic housing rubs slightly when turning - AC when running both rear and front zones seams to lose temperature, osillated from warm to cold and never freezing, random. Passenger side second row seat belt lacked tension and wont retract- this part is on backorder. These issues are small and will get reseloved, but its an indication of a slight build quality issue. The biggets issue is the Lincoln dealers. Lincoln corporate puts the white glove message out there that they will come get your car and give you a loaner etc ( purhcased maint package ) use the app to schedule etc. Well thats a fantasy.......I purhcased my care from a dealer thats 65 miles away because they had the car. However the nearest dealer is 5 miles away. When I contacted them for servive on my new 100k car they said sorry you didnt buy it here so no loaner car. I had to escalate this to lincoln and threaten them etc.... finally after 2 weeks and wasting time on the phone they accomodated me. Point is Lincoln corporate needs to get these dealers up to to speed with the marketing message if they are going to sell 100k cars. I had a platinum escalde before this and zero issues and amazing service. That said its a gorgeous car and I hope to enjoy it once its out of the shop.

I moved from the Cadillac Escalade to the Lincoln Navigator and I am so happy I did. The seats are so amazingly comfortable, I feel like we all have more room (even though I went from extended version of Cadillac to the smaller sized navigator) and the technology is amazing! It drives so smooth and has so many wonderful features! Couldn’t be happier!

It overheated at 1000 miles on the odometer transmission radiator failed, with all my family 400 miles away from home it was a mess. No car for 12 days took to repaired . Transmission also clank noise a lot when lowering gears. Buy a Toyota Land cruiser is a lot more reliable. Now I drive around my home area because I don't trust this car for long family trips. Update 12-20-20 After that broken down at a 1000 miles from new is doing a lot better actually no problems now , but I purchased a spare oil transmission filter to carry it around in case it broke again. We are planning to do a long trip and this suv is perfect for those long escapes. Updated 12-21-22 Now we have 40k miles and still doing good no issues at all.

UPDATE!!! I FILED FOR LEMON LAW AND FORD HAD TO BUY THE NAVIGATOR BACK FROM ME!!! Three months ago, my dealer picked up my 2019 Navigator L Black Label for service. While in their possession they crashed it due to an ongoing technical problem and backed it into their building causing over $44,000 in damage to the vehicle. Now, three months later, Ford is unable to provide some of the parts. In particular, the glass for the rear tailgate; the sensors for the cross vehicle detection system, and others. The crash was caused because when one of their employees went to put the car in reverse, it lunged backward apparently at full throttle and crashed through a wall in the dealership, causing over $44,000 in damage to the Navigator. While the dealership has been very helpful, getting the parts from Ford is a problem. Also, since I have had ongoing issues with the vehicle's computers, I am now scared to drive it.

Do you want to feel like King of the Road? This 4x4 vehicle will give you a commanding road presence. I think it can eat into Bentley and Rolls Royce Cullinan sales. It’s that luxurious and it seats 7 or 8 not 4 or 5! Built in America is another plus. I questioned the Hankook tires but when I went to see the new Audi Q8...you guessed it...same and they’ve been great. Must be a new high tech tire factory! Steering wheel heater switch is a small touch on the LCD screen and I see they took my advice and made it easier to see in the newer models. I’d still rather have a hard switch near the steering wheel but I guess that’s the way things are going for reliability and efficiency. Love that it has Start / Stop at the stoplight and Brake Hold. The tech like active cruise and lane keeping in general is great, except for voice recognition which need updating. You can control the truck and get location status, tire pressure and I other info from your iPhone. The piano key shifter frees up space. Its powerful 6 cylinder engine, independent rear suspension and Aluminum body panels are true competitive advantages! The head up display has a lot of useful information unlike my BMW. I’d love to see a Brembo Brakes option like Escalade has but other than that, it’s the winner of that contest. Also a repeat prompt button for Navigation is sorely needed. There’s no perfect car but if you need luxury, safety and space the Gator is actually a great Value. I loved it so much I bought my new Gator rather than lease it! Update: would like to have a suspension tighten switch. The only way to tighten it up is to choose “Excite” on the drive select knob. I’d like to tighten it in “Normal” and “Conserve”. The previous generation had separate selections for transmission and suspension. Bottom line is it’s made proudly in Louisville KY and it shows because it’s my first American car that came to me with no defects!

World class interior on black label,on 93 octane 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, top notch tech,easy to use,tons of interior room and storage areas. Third Navigator -by far the best. Now it is really big and it is pricey,but cost competitive to Mercedes and Infinti and Caddy. Other car is a Caddy CTS -V so I understand performance and handling. The Navigator is really good for a 6000 lb. vehicle. After about 6 months and 2000 miles only complaint is a little lack of smoothness on downshift just before stopping. Love the heads up display.After 7500 miles trans issue was improved by software update. Was not a big deal nothing else at issue.After 8500 miles still great -battery replaced under warranty was likely due to lack of driving so no big deal.Don't put a lot of miles on it but did take to Florida from New Jersey and got about 22 mpg and it was really comfortable.

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.

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.

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 traded my 2015 Cadillac Escalade for the Navigator L. After one year, here are the facts... Hate and I mean hate the rear seat entertainment system - DO NOT opt for it - it was a $2000 con (it can’t be controlled from the front so toddlers can’t use it) - Lincoln just shrugged its shoulders. After a year, mine still has the plastic on the screens - useless. Love the seats and the ride compared to the Escalade. Hate the piano key shift - thought it was cool until doing 3 point turns. Getting any parts for the car is a nightmare right now (COVID). Safety features like the backup cameras are much better on the Escalade (camera does not auto switch to front camera when put in drive after backing up - the Escalade does this automatically). If Cadillac upgrades their seats and reliability, I will be returning my business to them.

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.
The luxury SUV you’ll ever want to drive.

I went from luxury sedans all of my life to a Black Label Navigator. By far the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. Just drive one first to see if if the size to too difficult to maneuver. It took me a couple of days but piece of cake now. At stop lights on lookers stare. It an awesome ride. Brosky

Lincoln Play RSE - NO DVD / OTHER ISSUES

Owned the vehicle for two weeks. My wife is literally crying and wants her 2011 Infiniti QX56 back. Family of 4 children (with a 3 year old) who have become accustom to always watching movies while riding. Wife's disgust with the vehicle is based solely on the Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) system that has 1) no DVD player, 2) Cumbersome/time-consuming steps to have the RSE play through the speakers, 3) audio through the Bluetooth connection to the vehicle's speakers are delayed, and 4) NO controls on the front screen. There is practically NO integration between the vehicle and RSE; Lincoln should have simply said 'we have no RSE option' go find an aftermarket unit. Lincoln clearly did no functional testing with a family usage of this system - it would have taken placing a mother with a carseat child in the vehicle for one trip to the grocery store to know the flaws. The RSE has much other great technology, but totally missed the mark on the basic functionality. One last thought of confusion from lincoln - no DVD because it is old technology, but they REQUIRE a CD player for the upgraded audio speakers - REALLY???? If your needs do not include a RSE for children, the vehicle is very very nice, and you will enjoy the vehicle. Unfortunately, for me . . .

I purchased the Premier 2WD edition . I wanted 20 inch tires instead of the 22 inch tires with adaptive suspension. The 20 inch tires provide a much more composed ride at a better price. The premier has so much standard that I didn't feel the extra thousands for a select was worth it. The reserve only comes 4WD which I didn't need. You have much more tire wall that it is less likely to scrape your wheels. I wanted fixed running boards instead of the automatic ones. The seats navigation and revel stereo are the same in the select and premier. I didn't want a sunroof that is standard in the reserve. The best thing was my price of $68,900. When I decide to sell in a few years my depreciation wont be so dramatic. After 7000 miles my mileage has been 20.7 miles per gallon. I couldn't be happier with my burgundy velvet Navigator with cappuccino interior. I also have a dedicated stand alone Lincoln dealer. Their service is amazing. After reaching 40,000 miles I have averaged 21.0 miles per gallon using regular gas in conserve mode using auto stop start. I traded in my 2016 Lincoln MKC 2.0 liter AWD which averaged 23 -24 mpg. The drop was marginal considering the huge increase in space and horsepower,

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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!!!!

By far and away the finest SUV I have ever owned

18 month ownership update. Other than one single LED lamp which went out and was replaced during a scheduled oil change - the truck has been flawless. My same arguments and comments below remain germane. Remains the finest FULL sized SUV I’ve owned and the Escalade and Denali owners I know fully agree. Original review This is truly a $s decision in my mind. If you are going to pay $80,000 for a large SUV you have only a few choices and honestly the which one is it going to be a personal preference decision. From a specs on technology, ride and cargo/towing there really isn't a competition - so if you are weighing logically (not likely) the decision is over, until 2018 the odds on luxury SUV for a full size vehicle likely would have been a Caddy. Now comes 2018 (and 2019, same truck) with the all Aluminum body and the 6 cylinder ecoboost with 10 speed tranny there is only one choice for a reasonable person trying to be gentle on the environment while still driving a beast of a truck - the Navigator. The Caddy's big V8 has nearly half the gas milage and still not the torque or power of the Ford/Lincoln V6 ecoboost. Not to mention the Navigator is a front forward class leader for looks and redefines seating luxury. Nuf said.

I have been a life long GM SUV driver... from Cadillac to Denali, I bleed GM and have enjoyed those vehicles for many years. I never even considered changing to a Ford badge until I drove the Navigator... and it is no Ford. Quite ride, fantastic seats, refinement, technology and head turning beauty. Hats off to Lincoln on the Navigator - it quickly swayed this GM junkie to become a hard core Lincoln Navigator fan. You will not find a better luxury to the dollar value than this vehicle. Can't wait to see what they do next!

2019 Lincoln Navigator is known to have issues, just one goggle search will show you them. I’ve experienced them firsthand. What was a $120k car is now KBB valued at $32k just 4 years later. I’ve spent most of that time taking it into the shop. The twin turbo engine blows through oil, so you have to put in oil in between changes. Additionally the computer system goes on the fritz, and causing all sorts or malfunctions. Ford and Lincoln have been unable to resolve no matter how many times I go in. They also would not honor the lemon law, so I have to get a lawyer involved. Please don’t make the same mistake I did. I’ve never had a more high maintenance, unreliable car and a very poor investment. It’s a beautiful car, but don’t let that fool you. I’d look elsewhere and save yourself time and money.

Great vehicle and so attractive to allow us to turn in our 9 year old /24500 mile 2010 Navigator. Graphics on the main screen could be more vibrant other than gray and dull black. Same for instrument panel which could use some LED gauges, etc. Also passenger has handle over the seat so should the driver.

Don't buy the 2018 Navigator! Tons of P.R. stating it's the next best thing...it's not! FAKE NEWS. Always keep in mind it's a fancy ford...same low quality paint job, interior knobs and trims are cheap looking and feel cheap...example: radio, a.c. controls. The rear entertainment system is the worst in the market! Only SUV with no DVD...they didn't think this through...so some of us can look past the NO DVD, but what movies can you really play on a USB or SD card? NONE! Or pirated movies! You can stream netflix or roku or whatever but you will pay $20 a month on top for wifi via ATT&T. If you have a BMW or MBZ you will hate be very let down with this vehicle. I read so many stories online that this will compete with Range Rover and the rest of the European brands, but not even close. You have been warned.

We’ve enjoyed a Lincoln Navigator Black Label for four years. The build quality as well as the Lincoln after-sale care is awesome. Lincoln is making an extra special effort to elevate their brand and it shows. This was my first “non-Mercedes’” luxury vehicle in 16 years and I’ve been very pleased.

The air conditioner is not working after being worked on four times. I’m waiting for over four weeks for a fifth try at fixing the AC. I’ve had numerous issues with this vehicle. I’ve purchased 9 Ford and Lincoln vehicles since 1984, all have been trouble free for the most part. After paying over $106,000 for a 2018 Lincoln Navigator, I can honestly say that this is by far, the worst vehicle that I have ever owned. I will never purchase another Ford or Lincoln vehicle as long as I live.
