It isn’t uncomfortable, per se, but it’s busier than it should be, with too much road intrusion into the seat, pedals, and steering wheel. The Navigator’s ride is compromised by the Black Label’s standard 22-inch rollers. There are also air-conditioning vents throughout the headliner and buttons in the cargo area that drop the second and third rows flat for maximum cargo capacity. The second-row captain’s chairs are not quite as lavish as the fronts, but they’re heated, they recline, and they slide forward easily to provide access to the spacious third-row bench that can seat three. Our truck’s optional Perfect Position Seating package offered 30-way adjustment, three heat settings, three ventilation settings, and massage for the front seats. There are also illuminated, power-operating running boards a heated steering wheel power-folding second and third rows and a gargantuan panoramic sunroof. The features list seems endless and yet par for the segment, from rear audio controls and onboard Wi-Fi to a 360-degree camera setup. The gauges and infotainment arrangement are Navigator specific, too a configurable 12.0-inch screen displays the elegant instrumentation, and a 10.0-inch touchscreen atop the dashboard handles the infotainment and navigation duties. And this is not a case of simply layering better materials on top of Expedition bits the Navigator’s interior is impressively differentiated from the Ford’s, with an entirely different dash and center-console design, gear selector, and even Lincoln-specific turn-signal and wiper stalks. Even the dash-mounted push-button shifter is trimmed with chrome, as are the parking-brake and engine-start buttons.
The headliner and pillars are covered in yards and yards of faux suede, and the huge front and rear consoles present an array of wood, piano-black trim, brightwork, and knurled knobs. There’s more chrome inside the Navigator than out and more perforated leather than we’ve ever seen in one place. And you can hear it inside the cabin, but only because Lincoln pipes it in through the speakers. We prefer Caddy’s V-8 rumble, but the Lincoln’s V-6 has a pleasing, deep burble. With only a few options, including a rear-seat entertainment system, our Navigator L Black Label 4x4 test vehicle cost $101,765.
The Navigator is not just the largest, most opulent, and most powerful Lincoln ever it delivers what an American luxury vehicle should in this day and age, in the market segment where luxury buyers have gathered. And Cadillac knows it, refusing to make an Escalade available for a comparison test.

One look inside the 2018 Navigator’s comprehensively overhauled interior-particularly that of our né plus ultra Black Label example-shows that this is not badge engineering business as usual Lincoln appears to be trying like it cares again. It’s like the Bengals–Browns game there are a few die-hards still sitting in the stands, but America has tuned out. For too long, that rivalry has been a fight for last place.
