The only engine option (for now, according to Lincoln) is a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, shared in part with the Ford F-150, and is good in this application for a whopping 450 horsepower and around 500 lb. -ft. of torque, though official figures haven't been released just yet. Entering testing in Miami this week, Lincoln Chauffeur allows Lincoln owners and lessees to request personalized driver or shopping assistants for their busy lifestyles.
David Woodhouse, Lincoln design director, calls the interior "massively different" from the current-generation Navigator, last refreshed in 2015.
I'll withhold final judgement on the new Navigator until I get behind the wheel, but if you're on the market for an enormous SUV to haul around your family (something Lincoln says you probably have if you're considering this vehicle), it could be the mega-sized machine for you.
Lincoln says additional weight savings were reinvested in features such as towing capability and quietness, like laminated front and side glass that contributes to the quietest Navigator cabin ever.
The rear-seat entertainment system provides dual 10.0-inch screens on the front seatbacks and can play media streamed wirelessly from paired Android devices.

That's why the Lincoln team is so gung-ho about creating Lincoln experiences to "enhance" your life when you buy or lease one of their vehicles. Other LED lights in the lower front body and tail lamps are also triggered when the driver approaches the vehicle as well as a Lincoln welcome mat that appears beneath the front doors. An available wireless phone charger in the first-row center console media bin eliminates tangled cords.
The second and third row seats - the vehicle comes in seven- or eight-passenger formats - are also adjustable, and the third-row seats can even be made to recline. There are three Lincoln Black Label options, which alter interior design themes and materials, in addition to other membership benefits. For internet junkies, an embedded 4G LTE modem begets a Wi-Fi hotspot capable of handling up to 10 mobile devices at once.
An available Revel II audio system includes 20 speakers that work in concert with Navigator's interior design and acoustics.
