Both the Navigator and Navigator L are SUVs that can seat up to seven. The chimes, recorded by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, add another layer to the calming soundscape of the cabin, Lincoln says. A few of our best sellers include the Navigator, Nautilus, Corsair, and Navigator L. Safety features include eight air bags, blind-spot detection and precollision assist with automatic emergency braking.Īnother Lincoln signature (gimmick) are six symphonic chimes - replacing standard electronic alerts - for everything from an open fuel door to an unbuckled seat belt. There seem to be no overlooked conveniences, including headlights that turn with the steering wheel, wireless charging, four USBs, keyless locking and push-button ignition, 14-speaker Revel audio system, 4G Wi-Fi, infotainment apps and approach and departure lighting (including the Lincoln logo beamed downward at the side mirrors). And the 24-way Perfect Position seats should adjust for most sizes, but the upper side bolsters might cramp large bodies.
LINCOLN SUV MODELS DRIVER
The array of driver controls and an 8-inch touch screen display are not as difficult to master as might seem at first view. The tester’s optional 360-degree view camera is helpful in being able to see how badly centered you are in a parking slot or how close you parked to the garage door. Sightlines are not compromised, though the rear glass is narrow. Headroom is functional at 38.7 inches with the panoramic vista roof and maximum legroom is long at 42.3 inches. Even tire noise or harshness from the 20-inch Continental Cross Contact tires was not objectionable.Īs a compact-class vehicle, Lincoln has carved out comfortable interior space. With laminated windshield and side glass, dual-wall dashboard, acoustic underbody panels, wheel-arch liners and a noise-canceling audio function, the cabin is not vaultlike quiet, but the decibel count is luxury class whether driving 35 or 65 mph. There is a reassuring feel of quality to the action of switches, door closings and the Bridge of Weir leather-trimmed upholstery. There is engaging and restrained use of chrome, piano black and metallic trim elements - and no burl walnut. Lincoln tried to build a sanctuary in the cabin, and it succeeded. The automatic all-wheel-drive system requires no driver input and, with a disconnect feature, switches automatically from front- to all-wheel drive in response to road, speed, temperature and other conditions. The other driver-assist and warning systems worked subtly and without frightening alerts to potential danger.īraking is confident from 12.1-inch vented front discs and 11.9-inch solid rear discs.

LINCOLN SUV MODELS PLUS
The CoPilot360 Plus system for semi-autonomous driving provides precision lane centering and was not prone to random canceling due to sunlight glare or road-marking conditions.
