has debuted in society. The current generation of the popular Lincoln brand luxury SUV has undergone a facelift. A mid-cycle upgrade to help you tackle the rest of your business life ahead of you.
The Navigator has been updated in terms of design. Now she wears a new image which places it in line with the new models that the American firm has introduced in recent times. In addition, it has been used to reinforce technological equipment of a vehicle that is considered a benchmark in its competitive segment. Let’s go into detail and break down all the keys to this «facelift».
We must start from the premise that when it comes to a face lift, the aesthetic changes are not radical. Just take a quick look at the images that illustrate this article to discover How the Navigator’s Design Has Changed. The main novelties in this regard are concentrated at the front of the vehicle, at the front. The grill has been modified and the headlights renewed. At the rear, although there have also been changes, they are not so obvious. The taillights have been updated for a cleaner yet minimalist appearance.
Leaving aside the outside, if we venture into the interior of the new Navigator we will find a more digital and connected environment. It debuts the SYNC 4 infotainment system and a 13.2-inch touch screen. The instrument cluster is digital and has a size of 12 inches. In addition, for the passengers in the second row of seats there is an additional screen that allows them to adjust important parameters of the audio equipment and the air conditioning.
It also now has wireless compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In terms of connectivity, the Lincoln SUV has taken a major leap and now benefits from remote upgrades. Integration with Amazon Alexa is complete. Rear seat occupants benefit from a multimedia system comprised of two 10.1-inch screens equipped with Fire TV thanks to Lincoln’s partnership with Amazon.
The list of driver assistance systems is really long. The package Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.0 is the protagonist. It now incorporates the new ActiveGlide semi-autonomous driving system. When carrying out the configuration, it is possible to choose different finishes. Along with the Black Label completion we must add the new themes Central Park, Chalet and Yatch Club.
When it comes to the mechanical section, there are no options. The protagonist is a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 petrol engine that develops a power of 446 PS (440 hp) and 691 Nm of maximum torque. This block is associated with a ten-speed automatic gearbox. Optionally, it will continue to be possible to configure a 4×4 drive.
The adaptive suspension with Road Preview technology is another of the novelties that have been introduced. The system uses a forward-facing camera and 12 sensors to read the road 500 times per second and make up to 100 adjustments per second to maintain a comfortable ride.
When will it arrive in dealerships? The landing of the new Navigator in Lincoln dealerships is set for the first quarter of next year 2022. Once the date of its commercial launch approaches, the brand will reveal the rest of the details corresponding to its range. The complete list of equipment and, what is equally important, all their prices.
Production of the new Navigator will take place at Ford’s facilities in Louisville, Kentucky (United States). There it shares facilities with the Lincoln Corsair.
