2022 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR
The buzz around enormous luxury SUVs has reached fever pitch. To fend off new and enhanced entries from Jeep and Lexus, Lincoln has polished the Navigator by upgrading interior tech and adding hands-free driving capability.
Outside, thinner LED headlights flank the gently redrawn grille, while the slimmer full-width LED taillight bar now emits animation sequences when you approach or exit the vehicle. Michael Knight's K.I.T.T. would approve.
The vast, welcoming interior sees bigger changes. A new 13.2-inch touchscreen is crisply rendered and smartly laid out, running Sync 4's bounty of features-among them a window-rattling 28-speaker Revel audio system. New animations in the digital instrument cluster include swaths of twinkling stars that follow the speedo and tach needles. The second row gains an optional 5.8-inch infotainment touchscreen and dual 10.1-inch monitors, and the available captain's chairs add a massage function.
