Lincoln Teases the 2025 Navigator Ahead of Official Reveal
The Navigator has long been Lincoln’s flagship SUV, but its star has been eclipsed by the Cadillac Escalade in recent years. The automaker has a redesigned vehicle coming for the 2025 model year and recently teased the Navigator ahead of its official reveal this Thursday.
We don’t get a full view of the new SUV in the teaser video, but Lincoln showed a few key elements. The Navigator’s grille features an illuminated logo and LED lightbar, while the model’s logo still graces the front fenders. A brief shot of the wheel design shows a black and polished look, but no other exterior details are visible.
Inside, the vehicle retains its funky “piano key” shift buttons and gains a rotary control dial, likely for scrolling through the infotainment system. As it did with other recently updated SUVs, Lincoln focused heavily on the sanctuary aspect of the Navigator’s interior, saying that it “captivates your senses.”
Lincoln is expected to continue offering the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 from the current Navigator but could adopt the F-150’s hybrid system in the next-gen SUV. The automaker initially planned an electric variant, but parent company Ford pumped the brakes on new EV development in favor of new hybrid models.
If you’re interested in learning more about the 2025 Navigator, more information will become available on Thursday night after the company’s media briefing on the new vehicle.
