The new Lincoln Navigator has a price tag of $1001,990 (Korean money of 144.9 million won) on the basic type. This is the price before adding new add-ons or fancy external options. The price of the rival Lexus LX and Infiniti's new QX80 has also increased considerably, so it has some price competitiveness. It combines improved technology, luxury, safety, and luxurious interior.
A completely new navigator pursues its own style.The power train remains the same, but pretty much everything has changed for the rest of it. First of all, the body is very big. The new grill is much higher and wider, making the existing grill look smaller. It is thanks to the signature lighting that makes the grill look bigger.
A similar integrated light bar on the back is impressive.The new navigator interior is reminiscent of a comfortable seat like a salon. It also provides a full-body massage function for passengers in the second row.In this segment, the only 40/20/40 split third row sheet is the default specification. It can also be installed in the second row as an option.Row 3 does not have massage and ventilation, but the row can be used.
The new navigator has a 48-inch panoramic display on the top of the dashboard. Various operations are possible through the 11.1-inch touch screen at the bottom.A 5.8-inch digital monitor is also applied to the second row.Google-based infotainment systems can be linked to Google accounts or used for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The powertrain has a familiar 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission with a four-wheel drive system.The existing engine is also excellent. 440 horsepower and 71.6kg·m of torque are enough to move a huge vehicle. Looks more suitable for cruising than a mid-size Lincoln Nautilus.
It is impressive that the steering is surprisingly accurate in this test. There were many elevation changes and sharp curves around the Cuyamaka Mountains, and sometimes there were sections where the view was obscured. The navigator went through calmly as if on an expedition. The weight of the tolerance is 2277 kg.In the 136km section, which is mostly downhill, it recorded a decent fuel efficiency of 8.9km/l.However, on the uphill road, the combined fuel efficiency was only 4.2 km/l.
The updated Blue Cruise performed amazingly.The hands-free system works with just one button.Lane change support and intra-lane position adjustment functions have been added. Automatic lane change has become as simple as pressing a turn signal.When passing by a large vehicle, the navigator moves to the opposite side of the lane.The system maintained steady speed and distance and moved nimbly to match road conditions.
Other ADAS programs are sometimes unstable, such as braking too early or unexpectedly deactivating them. The Blue Cruise is soft to decelerate and accelerate, so it is stable and gives reliability to its operation.
A third of Lincoln Navigator owners do trailer towing.The navigator has secured a towing capacity of up to 4,300 kg. Lincoln also integrates trailer apps and Google Maps to provide optimal safe driving routes based on trailer size.
Competitors will first start with the Cadillac Escalade, followed by BMW X7, Mercedes GLS, Lexus LX, Infinity QX80, and Range Rover. With additional options, the new navigator can apply the comfort of three-row seats, luxurious convenience specifications, high-quality finishes and the latest practical technology.Advanced safety equipment, which is mostly a basic specification, is also comparable to competing models.
Is the exterior design the only part that is disappointing. However, if you like the angular box-shaped exterior, the new navigator can feel the luxury and spacious interior space suitable for a full-size SUV title.
Cadillac Escalade, a solid competitive model, launched a partial change model in Korea in April. The Lincoln Navigator 5th Generation Full Change model is scheduled to be released in the second quarter in Korea. The two models are expected to compete fiercely, the two largest mountain ranges of American full-size SUVs.
