Lincoln has debuted an updated version of its Navigator full-size SUV. Finally.

The new Navigator is set to feature HID headlamps, LED accent lights and a front fascia design more in step with Lincoln’s other offerings. By kissing the chrome, Paul Wall-reminiscent grille goodbye, the 2015 Navigator has a much more stately split grille design that makes for a classier mug.

Replacing the 5.4-liter V8 is Ford’s twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine putting out around 370 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant puts the power down using a six-speed automatic transmission which, coupled with the available 4.10 final drive, will actually tug quite a bit.

The updated interior features a redesigned gauge cluster, a push-button start, SYNC with MyLincoln Touch and plenty of leather and wood paying homage to Lincoln’s brougham roots.

While pricing and other details have yet to be announced, you can expect these to begin hitting showroom floors this fall.

Why does Ford insist on throwing turbochargers at V6's, trying to make V8 power, while increasing mechanical complexity, chances of breakdown, increased cost, and not much better fuel economy? It's like they don't want to accept that EcoBooze isn't as great as they keep hyping it out to be. Plus, this ugly turd looks like someone fitted the new Lincoln Corporate grille to a 10 year old Expedition, kind of how gangbangers in the South put Caddy grilles on whatever POS GMC truck they obtained (stole).

At best it looks like a minor refresh of a 10 year old SUV. If you like retro that's OK but make mine a black Escalade.

Ras815 Ok, you weren't kidding. That rear pillar window trick is freakin' awesome. Even in 2024.
Probert Captions, pleeeeeeze.
ToolGuy Companies that don't have plans in place for significant EV capacity by this timeframe (2028) are going to be left behind.
Tassos Isn't this just a Golf Wagon with better styling and interior?I still cannot get used to the fact how worthless the $ has become compared to even 8 years ago, when I was able to buy far superior and more powerful cars than this little POS for.... 1/3rd less, both from a dealer, as good as new, and with free warranties. Oh, and they were not 15 year olds like this geezer, but 8 and 9 year olds instead.
