Review and specifications

2026 Lincoln Navigator

A number of cosmetic changes make the redesigned 2025 navigator look a bit more modern, but under the skin, it's largely the same, with a powerful twin-turbo V6 engine, 10-speed automatic transmission and a roomy interior. Four-wheel drive is now standard. As before, both short- and long-wheelbase models are available. Improvements can mostly be seen inside, where a customizable 48-inch interactive display panel arcs across most of the dash. The digital display does duty as an instrument panel while underway, and when the vehicle is stopped, can be used for gaming and as a soothing background for the massaging seats. A smaller 11.1-inch screen below contains the climate menu and vehicle apps. The rear tailgate features a new split design, with a short lower tailgate and an upper hatch Lincoln says makes it easier to load and unload groceries and the like without spilling them onto the ground. Standard BlueCruise hands-free highway driving is another plus.

Brand context

About Lincoln

Lincoln is Ford’s luxury brand, and most Lincoln models are fancier, quieter versions of existing Ford SUVs. The Lincoln Navigator, for example, is based on the Ford Expedition, and the Lincoln Corsair is based on the Ford Escape. Some models are available as hybrids. Lincoln SUVs tend to come with standard leather seating surfaces, large screens, and sound deadening. That interior quality paired with lively powertrains have earned some models Consumer Reports’ recommendation. Lincoln stopped building sedans when it discontinued the Continental and MKZ in 2020. As a brand, for new and used car reliability, road-test scores, and owner satisfaction ratings, Lincoln tends to be average.
