The 2025 Lincoln Navigator Has a New Look and Tons of Tech! But Is It Different Enough?

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

I was just telling someone the other day how much I like Lincoln ever since they revamped their brand. Their vehicles are expensive, but they are beautiful, and so luxurious. One of those "if I had money..." cars.

[@bricekoirokpi9954]

You're right 😇

[@RichtrucktionTv]

They need to put a coyote in the navigator!

Amen. Until Ford does, the Yukon/Burb will always be king.

[@fasttime823]

​@@1FiftyOverlandPeople want to know that they have a V8 under the hood regardless!!

[@Lawnyyy-]

It was about time the navigator got an update, it was way behind against the competition, looks like a pretty good refresh. I wish they put power boost system in this though. Also, what’s nice about the AC is there is a preset that you can tap that automatically aims at the driver and passenger so you don’t have to mess with it

[@DRCHICKS]

Squircle 😂. You said that so smoothly like it’s actually a word

Of all the American big SUVs I've always preferred the Navigator & now that they've facelifted it am ❤ing it the more!

[@mikek5298]

Every single adjustment takes longer, is more complicated, and requires driver distraction compared with a dial, button, or lever.

[@HDHQDIRECT]

Especially changing the air vent movement on screen. That has to be the dumbest idea, nobody asked for. Why manufacturers are following Elon on that, makes no sense.

[@cliffordmontana4562]

It “looks so cool” and is just plain dumb. I agree. Give me knobs and buttons. I’ll take a nice screen too, but I want to keep all the usefulness of knobs and buttons.

[@ml9867]

New fire trucks even have screens with buttons next to them to control multiple electric/electronic items. I have to load different pages on the screen to get to certain functions. I'd much rather have the 1 or 2 rows of switches above the windshield like the trucks 10 or 15 years ago had.

[@waynewallace2061]

Yikes, screen upon screen, complexity, what could go wrong?

[@Big.W.]

Because it’s cheaper

[@amalfi460]

5 days after the warranty expires you will have to pay 16,000 dollars to replace the 48 inch display when it breaks

[@chris2901]

people dont realize how much these are becoming a problem lol had a buddy tell me he gets dozens on dozens of cadillacs with that insane screen causing all sorts of issues

It's not a Cadillac. It's not going to break.

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

​​@@inkwellunderground3746its a ford it will break. Not as good as they couldve been and cost higher than Ussr if you ask me. I think it looks good to my eyes but the eyes decieve and how wrong would it be to assume all is well and we cannot possibly improbe and do better? You see what im sayin. This is like, how much money can they yoink outta wallets to pay the bills it costs so much ot better impress theres few peopls on earth who can even afdord to drive around like this spending so much money yet its not bulletproof.

[@armytruth6860]

No you don't if you have extended warranty

[@tombradfiled9342]

Wow Ford is really stepping up their luxury game, finally might have eclipsed the Escalade. As stunning and beautiful as this new Navigator is, with all the fancy screens and little motors and servos this is a vehicle you definitely want sell or trade before the warranty period stops.

[@MySmokingToaster]

I find it more attractive than the 2024 model.

[@USABoricuaBreeze]

In serious? Obviously!!!!🤦🏽‍♂️

[@BeanoNoir]

The vent angle being controlled by solenoids is level 100 inanity. It's like someone creating a perfect cylinder it of a banana on a lathe, plating it with a decorative caramel drizzle, setting it under glass to be observed, then having a robot peel and feed you a regular banana while you look at the one in the glass case.

[@Jay-ns5ub]

I'm disappointed the windshield isn't a tv screen with a live feed from a front facing camera. It needs more screens

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

Frankly i hope they make it cost more

[@waynewallace2061]

Hahaha, amen.

Soon the pedals will be a touch screen

[@fantomtuba]

You'd think it would be easy to put the Powerboost hybrid system in, at least for brand fleet fuel economy averages

[@richardnavratil9661]

Good lord. Can we get over the trend of "more screens = luxury?" This is so distracting and unnecessary. Imagine how bad this will look in 5-7 years. And I don't care if most people will lease these. These vehicles still will exist somewhere.

[@mrjohnnyk]

Nobody will want to own these in 5-7 years because the electronics will be a nightmare without a warranty

[@G-Rated]

@@richardnavratil9661 yes this will look a mess in 5 years and that’s because they’re trying to copy somebody else’s interior design language without spending the same type of money to execute it as well. The Escalade’s interior hasn’t been changed since 2021 and aged like wine. The 2020 Navigator has now undergone 2 heavy refreshes and it already looks more dated than the 2025 Escalade.

[@velboone6041]

It 2025 not 1960....Quit being a cry baby and go buy you an old ass car...😒

[@Silverback_GMT410]

I love it! Will never afford it but still. Though it not having the PowerBoost as the standard engine is a let down. So much power and capability.

[@thomasnew8606]

We have a 2007 Tahoe and a 2023 Expedition Limited. That tailgate design is perfect and so much better than a full tailgate that opens. Now, let's just hope that smaller section doesn't stop working when closing!

[@ml9867]

I believe both of your SUVs have a glass portion that can open alone. I'm curious if you ever use it. I had a first gen Expedition and used it occasionally and left it open when we had to transport a snowblower. My second gen Expedition also had it, but the glass hinge failed on it and we just taped it back together and never used it again. Several years ago when I wanted a replacement in a junkyard, I found that most of them fail and the dealer wanted several hundred dollars for the parts.

[@USABoricuaBreeze]

A que viene mencionar tus autos? Con hablar del portón trasero? Yo tengo varios autos también🤦🏽‍♂️….

[@T0astedR0asted]

Can’t wait for the Expedition FX4/Timberline refreshed version. With the split-gate, it’ll be as close to an American Land Cruiser as we can get

[@USABoricuaBreeze]

Es probable que solo sea exclusiva de la Navigator….

[@bigrr64]

Very attractive, and I really like the rear tailgate that's really nice. Ford should have added some more engine choices, it would be nice to be able to get a coyote or the hybrid.

[@yejoonyang9552]

But this is a luxury vehicle, their selling point isn't being easy to maintain

[@drewthompson7457]

@@yejoonyang9552 : so luxury vehicles should break often and be expensive to repair, as well as an inconvenience. Ok.

[@yejoonyang9552]

@drewthompson7457 it makes even less sense to price a vehicle that lacks luxury features with a luxury price. All I'm saying is if it's a luxury car it needs to include a lot features to justify its price tag and with a lot of features things are bound to break. And also people who have enough money to buy luxury vehicles don't care about it being cheap to insure or saving gas money, they have enough money not to.

[@drewthompson7457]

@@yejoonyang9552 : actually the title says nothing about it being luxury. But guaranteed, it will have lots of recalls.

@drewthompson7457 I dont know about you but people generally know lincoln is more of a luxury brand than an economy brand.. maybe you're unfamiliar with their brand. And yes it will have many recalls, as do a lot of other luxury brands like Land Rover for example.

[@ToryonDavis]

My opinion is that the navigator looks more elegant than the Escalade. Since me and my wife are going to have her family down from Japan. Then at other times my sister and her family. We need a big vehicle. I feel this may work.

[@Roll-With-It-7]

It’s pretty cool that Lincoln stepped up there game with the two tone color schemes and the different materials they use, I actually like the screens, although other people don’t, but I rather like the screens than dislike them because they’re not gonna go away anytime soon. I do agree though overtime reliability may be a concern,so I hope the screens are in sections and not one piece.

[@mrjohnnyk]

If it's not going away anytime soon don't expect me to buy a new car anytime soon.

[@modlerjeancharles9637]

Wow. I don’t think I like any other SUV more than this for a family hauler. It’s perfect.

Crash test requirements

[@superiortrans-1697]

Does either trim have memory seats for the front passenger? You didnt mention HUD on either, will it have that? Lastly, I dont see any paddle shifters, are those available? Having the seat controls on the doors was a lincoln signature, taking those away was terribly wrong!!.

[@richardadamiak269]

Love the blacked out appearance and new Grill, disappointed in the lack of Hybrid power train

[@timothyboyd4130]

Nice, it would be next level if the passenger had a screen that was focused on them to enjoy while riding or make the screen able to turn to face the passenger only to unlock certain features while riding. Like when you lock it in passenger mode features like games and streaming become available for the passenger

[@Chitwn81]

I was thinking same thing but probably federal regulations wouldn't allow it. Although I'm sure an aftermarket accessory to do this will be available soon enough

[@mrjohnnyk]

Range Rover thought of a solution to this problem nearly 20 years ago. The two way screen, the driver sees different things on the screens from the passenger. Like the passenger could use some headphones and watch a movie while the driver just sees information on the displays.

[@googlename8066]

Nobody wants TV screens! Bring back chrome, wood, analog gauges, knobs. Timeless and classic. It’s why a Rolex will always be more desirable than a Casio.

[@mrjohnnyk]

Couldn't agree more.

[@The-fs5wn]

The difference with this is that all of the things you mentioned are part of the Navigator except analog gauges. And they are physically not as good looking as a properly integrated and heavily customizable dash screen, which this has.

[@SonicSouz]

Everyone wants screens. That’s why they’re doing it.

[@edwardbutera1362]

Goodness! Look at all that tech! And luxurious?! I remember when I thought AC was a luxury. Now you don’t even have to smell the kids’ feet on a road trip: they’ve “solved” that! It is a beautiful truck (yes, I also call those trucks), though it kind of blends in with a lot of the other vehicles in that segment. Is that a holding center seat in the second row, or a fixed arm rest? I would imagine the latter, given the complexity of it.

[@pleopold4010]

Looks ok for maybe a sport version but I like the chrome on the Lincoln. Would be nice to offer a V8 as well

@@Turbodude12345 It's all in the name of being more technological and trends compared to the other guys. They are all so focused on unnecessary tech these days.

[@G-Rated]

Exactly. TFL tries to rag on *gm* for putting an automatic headlight control that you’ll rarely use inside the display as a digital button that never goes anywhere. But then the same publication praises their direct competitor Lincoln for making air vent controls an electronic setting inside of the screen. Tell me these folks don’t have double standards.

I'm still waiting for manufactures use the windshield as a display screen. The little screens still have you chasing for information. Yeah, google has good interactive tech.

[@99-Zulu]

Yes it would be the Ford Expedition. Granted I don't think it comes with half the luxuries as the Navigator. Ford, GM, and Toyota and I think Nissan all use the full size truck platform to make the 3 row SUV's. F-150 is the Expedition and Navigator, Silverado/Sierra is the Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade. Then Toyotas Tundra is the Sequoia, and I think the GX series for Lexus. I'm not familiar with Nissan but I think the Armada is from the Titan platform. But also Ford and Toyota uses their midsize trucks to make smaller truck based SUV's. The Ranger has the Bronco, and Tacoma has the 4-Runner and the new Landcruiser. GM refuses to make fun offroader SUV's to compete with Toyota and Ford. They had a missed opportunity when they brought back both the Blazer and the Trailblazer. Instead they made the Blazer that's based off the Impala platform and the Trailblazer that came from Korea.
