The new 2023 Lincoln Navigator: Caring for your family in a big way

The Lincoln Navigator is a large luxury SUV with a magnificent interior that might look like a small, family-friendly auditorium. There's a vast amount of cargo space and room for up to seven passengers. You can get twin-turbo power in either a V6 or V8 formula and you will be treating your family to extra-large premium transportation. Luxury options include a 30-way power-adjustable driver's seat with massage. Here's a look at all that the new Lincoln Navigator has to offer at Dana Lincoln in Staten Island NY.

What's new for 2023?

The Lincoln Navigator for last year was so good, it receives only minimal changes for this year. There is now an optional electronic limited slip differential that's included on the heavy-duty trailer tow package with both the Reserve and Black Label models. A new Diamond Red Tri-Coat paint gets added to the exterior color palette and Manhattan Green is now available on Black Label models that are equipped with the Chalet and Invitation interior themes.

Trim levels on the new 2023 Lincoln Navigator

The new Lincoln Navigator offers a total of five trims for buyers from Union and Newark, NJ to choose from:

• Standard
• Reserve
• Reserve L
• Black Label
• Black Label L

What's included in the Standard trim

Don't be fooled by the name "Standard" because this is automotive craftsmanship at a high level. The engine in the Lincoln Navigator Standard is a twin-turbo V6 that's good for 440 horsepower, 500 pound-feet of torque and a towing capacity of up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped. You'll be riding on 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, enjoying the convenience of a hands-free power liftgate and sitting under a chrome roof rack. A 13.2-inch touch screen is also part of the Standard model and so is wireless smartphone connectivity.

What's included in the Reserve trim

Over and above the base model, the Reserve trim in the new Lincoln Navigator includes a panoramic Vista Roof with a power sun shade, 22-inch wheels, premium leather seating in both the first and second rows, a front passenger memory seat and 24-way Perfect Position front seats. The Reserve also provides you with trailer reverse guidance, a head-up display and an Active Guide hands-free driving system. With the available Luxury package, you can add more premium features like a Revel Ultima 3D 28-speaker stereo system with QuantumLogic 3D surround sound technology.

What's included in the Black Label trim

The Black Label trim is at the top of the Lincoln Navigator lineup and provides the most luxurious experience available from the Lincoln brand. After all, the Navigator is the flagship of the Lincoln fleet. Every variation of the Lincoln Navigator Black Label includes Venetian leather seating in all three rows, a steering wheel wrapped in leather with wood inserts and a suede cloth headliner. All Black Label models include Lincoln Embrace interior lighting, a premium cargo mat, power-adjustable pedals and unique security approach lamps.

Engines and performance in the 2023 Lincoln Navigator

The Lincoln Navigator keeps things simple with a single engine-and-transmission combination, but you'll like the results of that simplicity when you find yourself in command of 440 horsepower. The new Lincoln Navigator is a responsive driving machine and the 10-speed automatic transmission takes you smoothly through the gears in a way that won't awaken sleeping passengers. The new 2023 Lincoln Navigator can make the dash from zero to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. That's like a big linebacker setting speed records.

Fuel economy in the new Lincoln Navigator

The Lincoln Navigator makes use of the twin-turbocharged 3.5 liter V6 engine along with a 10-speed automatic in order to maximize fuel economy. The EPA estimates that you'll get about 17 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on highways around Edison and Linden, NJ when you're operating with rear-wheel drive.

Interior comfort in the new Lincoln Navigator

Step inside the cabin of the high-end Lincoln Navigator and you'll be surrounded by a high level of luxury and enormous amounts of cargo space. Move into the upper trims and you'll be sitting on massaging front seats and open-pore wood trim. The third row is a good example of the interior passenger room you'll find with 1.1 more inches of legroom than you'd get in a Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class.

Cargo space in the new Navigator

The new Lincoln Navigator gives you optional 30-way adjustable massaging front seats and there's plenty of cargo room inside. The standard wheelbase model gives you up to 20.9 cubic feet of room behind the rear seats and up to 63.6 cubic feet behind the second row. Fold both rows down and you'll find up to 103.3 cubic feet which is outstanding in this category.

Infotainment technology in the new Navigator

A 13.2-inch touch screen comes standard but you can upgrade to a 28-speaker stereo and give the family a dual-screen rear entertainment system along with the extra blue sky and sunshine of a panoramic sunroof.

Safety technology in the new Lincoln Navigator

A rear view camera comes standard and so does blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a forward collision warning system and lane-keeping assist.
