The 2023 Lincoln Navigator Reserve Is A Highly Desirable Family-Sized Luxury SUV

A few years ago, #Lincoln finally delivered the #Navigator that could compete with the best from Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus. For 2022, the #LincolnNavigator is getting a subtle refresh to allow it to stay competitive with new rivals such as the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The exterior styling gets some soft tweaks, while the inside gets improved tech. While we wish Lincoln had offered the hybrid PowerBoost engine from the F-150, the twin-turbo V6 is still among the quickest in the segment.

Remember how crazy good the Lincoln Navigator was when it was redesigned in 2018? Well... some new competitors have showed up to challenge this vehicle, would you still go for this? Or choose the new Escalade and/or Jeep Grand Wagoneer?

Lincoln should have kept the running joke of giving Sofyan the burgundy interior again.

Always liked the Lincoln lineup. I consider the Navigator the top of the SUV market when it comes to luxury. The other models, like the Aviator, give you great styling and luxury. Great video.

I personally think the escalade and the grand wagoneer look a bit more "ooohh ahhh" but the navigator is very nice still. 2nd row massaging seats are incredible. Kudos to Lincoln for a good full size SUV. A good truck for what it's primarily built for.

the navigator took the segment way forward in 2018, but the industry responded immediately. What they did then, they can do again, but that was risky before. lincoln probably just needs stable sales.

I drove one of these today and it was amazing. Felt like riding on clouds and had plenty of power for such a big vehicle. I liked the interior better then the Escalade as well. Much more plastic and plain feel in the Escalade. Jeep was nice when I drove it, but I’ve seen so many horror stories in groups

Owner of a 2023 here. Ergonomics and dealer experience are a major reason I chose this over anything else. I feel like Ford/Lincoln designs amazing interiors.

The improvements on this are very well done looks good, but I would take an Escalade over this one, I am a huge fan of the Aviator though.

After experiencing both the new Navigator and Escalade. The Navigator is the nicer of the two in terms of luxury, especially the back seats.

[nothere]

I like it, I just wish they did more to differentiate it from the prefacelift in the front. Also maybe add the powerboost.

Great Review ! ( FORD for $100K the rear wiper needs to be on top and hidden into the rear spoiler or do something and a better steering wheel )

[SahZoom]

Seems weird to have massaging seats in the back, but missing some of the basic rear seat features (power adjust and window shades - not even manual shades…) Seems like a big oversight at this price point for segment standards…

Mine arrives in February 2023. My anticipation couldn’t be higher.

This vehicle will be recalled in a couple of months.

Got a 2021 Navigator reserve only option I have is the revel upgrade and the perfect position seats and I agree it doesn’t match the German company’s for fancy technology and it doesn’t draw any attention as my trucks silver literally draws zero looks as compared to Escalades and Mercedes big trucks but that’s what makes it great to me I ride in my cocoon of silence in the massage seats in the softest settings and it’s the most relaxing part of my day I love it simple American luxury and comfort.

[EnthusiastCarHangar]

It’s a great vehicle and I would love to have one. The MPG ruined it for me for an SUV and I think Lincoln needs to come out with a hybride and additional engines.

[ahmedxkhan]

Its a good thing lincoln did not put air suspension, air suspension is the worst, and it always needs maintenance. It usually breaks after a few years and personally, it doesnt make much of a difference. Good vehicle to buy.

[tonytomahawk]

Excellent as a business vehicle imo.
I love the Nav because it's functional luxury to me. Can't see myself hauling anything but the wife in an Escalade so the Nav has been my go to. I have one now and ready to upgrade.

[Thebusdriverandgamermorefan]

Still my favorite Lincoln SUV I wanted to buy.
