Lincoln just pulled the wraps off its new Navigator. The flagship luxury SUV got a significant update for the 2025 model year, arriving with new styling, a revised interior, and more screens than an AMC movie theater.


The Navigator’s exterior styling has a new grille and integrated LED lightbar that features an animated lighting sequence to welcome and say goodbye to passengers. The lightbar look extends to the rear, where the taillights span the rear liftgate. Lincoln equips standard 22-inch wheels, but two 24-inch designs are available for the first time.


Inside, the refreshed cabin features “Rejuvenate” systems that bring heated and massaging front seats, calming audio-visual tech, ambient lighting, and a standard interior scent system. The SUV uses its display screens and interior lighting to create the themes. There’s seating for up to eight people, and Lincoln offers heated, ventilated, and massaging second-row captains chairs.


Two new Black Label themes are available, including the Invitation theme with black leather and Khaya wood accents. The Enlighten theme brings a lighter interior with beige and gray piping, laser-etched birchwood accents, and espresso-color carpeting.

The 11.1-inch touchscreen is part of a 48-inch panoramic display powered by Google. It offers Google Play store and Assistant features, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A new Pano Mode allows passengers to utilize the panoramic display for movies or games when the vehicle is parked. BlueCruise is also available.


Finally, the new Navigator retains the previous model’s powertrain. It’s a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 making 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. Adaptive suspension and four-wheel drive are standard. The powertrain offers up to 8,700 pounds of towing with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package, and Ford’s Pro Trailer Backup Assist is available.


Lincoln hasn’t detailed pricing for the 2025 Navigator yet, but said it would land on dealers’ lots next spring.

    Not nearly enough different than the previous unit. Definition of mailing it in. And Cprescott nailed it. Those screens not only will be big $$$ but totally unnecessary.

    Have you noticed designers have gotten away from the teardrop design of the roof. Instead, as flat as a pancake with gobs of headroom in the second and third row seats. Reminds me of my '12 Ford Escape. Boxy as hell!! I like boxy...boxy is good!!🚗🚗🚗
  • Lorenzo If it's over 30 years old and over 80k miles, and not a classic, it's a parts car, worth no more than 20% of original price.
  • Dusterdude No mileage noted on a 33 year old car means likely well north of 300k + miles , along with issues noted , should equate to an ask price of less than $3k
  • Ajla IMO, something like this really should be naturally-aspirated.
