Happy Thursday everyone! We had a chance to see the new Navigator in person earlier this week and right now we are heading to Monterey Car Week in Pebble Beach for the weekend to film lots of new car content! Stay tuned! 😊
Why does a luxury car not have a height adjustment system and has normal assistance? Infiniti QX 80, its new generation, has a height adjustment system and wind assistance, the only luxury car in the world that does not have such a suspension system and does not have a paddle shifter.
One of the main advantages of a split tailgate on a large car is that the hatch doesn’t stick out ridiculously far when it’s open. Overall I’m really liking these updates. My only criticism with the Navigator (and Expedition) is that they’re too slab sided. Flare the fenders, give it a stronger crease… something.
Agreed. Also, for a redesign that was long overdue - this looks like lots of afterthoughts. Disappointing that it just looks like a rental from the side and a weird wagoneer from the front + the rear of an EV Kia.
Good observation and I completely agree on the body lines/exterior. The split tailgate is fantastic on a full size SUV. It’s a little surprising that it took the big 3 (Ford, Chevy/GMC, Ram) this long to implement one but a welcome change for sure.
Also, I agree with you. Lincoln needs a new key fob, especially for its black label trim vehicle. They should do what Volvo has done and have the key match the interior.
@@johnkraft6053per the video he says it can help stop things from falling out and it can double as a seat when tailgating. I’m not a fan. I don’t have issues with stuff falling out often enough 💁🏽♂️
I wish they did the Continental door handles like they did on the new Nautilus. I feel that would be a great thing for Lincoln to have as their signature feature for all their vehicles.
the whole full size SUV crowd is doing an amazing job with these refreshes. Cadillac's escalade and now Lincoln's Navigator (and even the import crowd with the LX and QX80) are all getting refreshes that tone down gaudiness/chrome everywhere vibe and replaces it with a more subtle luxury aim designs.
They almost got it perfect - the black line down the front door is too much IMO and the overall size is just way larger than it should be. Excursion might look small next to these newer full size XXXL SUVs
@@tonywong303 If the Escalade didn’t exist this interior would be impressive. But because we’ve seen how it’s been executed in the Cadillac, this interior just looks crazy and thrown together over a Zoom meeting. Beautiful materials that will compare nicely but their integration and placement of screens, buttons/controls and switches are off. Exterior rear looks like a watered down Escalade _IQ._
@@chill-pill923 tragically, yes. There was just a shooting at my Alma mata and I’m still in shock to be honest. I just moved back to Winder and was out getting tires put on my car when the owner of the shop who barely speaks English with a heavy accent was trying to tell me there were cops flying past his shop a few mins before I arrived heading towards the school. There’s only one high school? Middle school, and elementary school in the area and they’re all there together. My phone was dead and i didn’t understand what was really happening at the time, wasn’t until i got home that i realized what was going on down the street from me. This is absolutely insane.
This thing looks absolutely crazy. I think it'll probably grow on me. The new Nautilus looks amazing in person, Im sure the same will be true of this... Split tailgate's a cool addition, but sucks if youre short lol. Good luck reaching anything more than a foot into the trunk with the bottom section open.
Hopefully farley is taking quality seriously like he said previously. Cost cutting may show a good quarterly sales figure, but people won't buy again when their transmission blows at 60k.
that rear turn signal is throwing me off. it looks like two signals pasted onto one car. the shape, the fact that they aren't in sync, they aren't both sequential, it's just really ruining the rear end for me. am i being dramatic???
@@Tbcycoji ... potentially they can. But some automakers are going apesh*t with their designs. Right now, they remind me of kids with a new toy and everyone is trying to be "edgy" and different. Eventually, I think they'll settle down (hopefully). When they start thinking things through, I think we might see some pretty amazing designs.
Looks good from the front and side. They dropped the ball on the rear. I can still see the GM triplets still out selling this, especially the Escalade.
I love the luxury-minimalist look, it's hard to achieve but Lincoln made it! I also like the lack of cluttered button-dashboard thing, to me a good high quality screen with good graphics is the best thing
It looks gorgeous. I really wish Lincoln didn't discontinue the Continental. Would be so amazing to get a new generation Continental on a RWD platform and with this kind of styling.
Escalade screams top tier with its new exec. package but this is just "nice" to me. I think the taillamps shouldve been more stretched on the end like the Nautilus, it looks stubby. Its nice but where is the powerboost option?!
This is nice but I'm towards more the new escalade, lincoln did came out with the luxury big size SUV first but when escalade came out it's been on top, especially the executive trim
I really like how you explain that you took your time it wasn’t rushed and I got a chance to see just by everything I wanted to see in the Lincoln navigator sexy automobile. I’ll tell you thank you

@@jonathanlopez9494 I agree. We used to have the MKT, the Flex's sibling, and LOVED the fridge in the middle row. It was a lifesaver, and I'm shocked more cars don't offer it.
Lincoln/Ford THANKFULLY has been doing Amber turn signals for a while now. For the Navigator, Lincoln started using Amber with the introduction of the 2015 model. I loathe red-colored turn signals and appreciate manufacturers that go the extra mile and put a turn signal that’s independent of the brake light. ❤
Honestly, every SUV should have a split tailgate. Ever since trading my 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander, I’ve missed it dearly. Such a useful feature! Great for organizing things before putting in the trunk or keeping things from rolling out when first opening the tailgate
@@Aki_Lesbrinco another jealous clown and there’s nothing wasteful about a comfortable vehicle. What exactly is being wasted? There’s enough crude oil for 5000 more years so come up with a better excuse.
Technically, the GMC Yukon was the first idea of a luxury large SUV before the Navi. It looks good though, but the updated Escalade looks BONKERS compared to this, with doors that automatically close, and the interior finishes look more like a Range now. But this is still quite nice. Not a fan of the rear silhouette.
Can't wait to see this Duke it out with the New escalade. The only detractor is that i wish they gave it the flush door handles like the nautilus and continental.
Alright everyone, Have a 2017 Ford Expedition. After 4 years, it had incredible amount of rust, after 6, exhaust manifolds rusted off, exhausted gone, door sills/ kick plates rusted to hell, control arms, roached, struts all shot, engine misfires intermittently even after coil and plug replacements. All in all, I've invested $86,0000 in this car over 7 years, in sad sorry condition at only 110,000 miles. Maintained religiously. My 2010 Mercury Milan, mad it 107K miles before dying. Noticing a trend with my Ford products.
I’m just not a Escalade person. I’ve always been team Lincoln especially with the suvs they’ve been putting out. The aviator as well is a gorgeous vehicle
Absolutely gorgeous SUV! Still wish they had an optional V8 like the GM competitors. I’m really surprised that this is only a refresh to the current generation Navigator. I thought for sure that this would be an all new generation considering how much is changed.
@@RemykhTV technically it _should’ve_ been a full redesign as the Navigator has already been refreshed before and a redesign is expected in due. My guess is the saw the 2025 Escalde/Escalade _IQ,_ panicked, and rushed this “refresh” to market. Except this ain’t a mid cycle refresh, it’s a *heavy emergency update.*
Looks great! only thing they really need to do to it is to put exposed exhaust tips or pipes on the rear bumpers like they're doing on the escalades and yukons. That'll alone would give it a more sportier look. IMO
Yeah that is terrible. It actually looks like it's broken. If that big bouncer type dude wasn't looming in the background, I guarantee Sofyan would have pointed that out.
After they reworked the Caddy front end, I’d lean towards the Navigator for this iteration of the two. There’s something off about the headlight integration on the Escalade
Nothing off about the new Escalade headlights. They look great. I missed the waterfall headlight style that they used to have, especially for the 2015 -2020 escalades. For 2025 They finally brought it back and it looks more in line with their other vehicles in the lineup so it definitely works for the Cadillac brand
Its crazy how these cars are becoming so futuristic and full of technology I grew up seeing the 98 Lincoln navigators as the top of line luxury 😅😂 and now theres this 😮 Slowly transitioning into flying cars one day or hoover
5 improvements I could see that could make them over the top: 1) A competition to the Escalade V-Series. A high horsepower luxury SUV. 2) Full roof panoramic sunroof. All the way to the 3rd row. 3) Add refrigeration options to both the front and/or second row consoles. 4) Have second row and optional 3rd row fold down seat tables. Great for business people, high end clients, and others. 5) 3rd row headrest TVs.
Finally full electric 2nd row seats! It can definitely be competitive even in Europe. Amazin'! Even long base, all they need to do is to keep the weight no more then 3,5 tone so we could drive it on B driver licence, no needed to have track C driver licence and also keeping it up to 3.5 tone allows cllients in Europe no to pay extra road tax during the each drive.
Interior style is a winner but missing Escalade's exec package with trays, heated/cooled cupholders, console fridge and power closing doors. Exterior is very good except that lower front grill doesnt match anything it looks cheap.
4:56 it’s the camera making the left signal sequence off right?? 😅 if not idk how I could live with that it would throw me off just knowing the timing isn’t calibrated correctly
Sofyan, how do you feel about constantly growing screen sizes? Does it make for a better experience over all consistently? I literally traded in my 2021 bmw after lease and got a pre owned bike that was prior to the big screens my 2021 had in it. Thoughts ?
Nice!!! I Love how all the Uber Luxury SUVs are trying, the new QX80, the refreshed Escalade, and insanely expensive Wagoneer, and now this new Navigator all look gorgeous and they all have amazing tech. I don't think any other class of car is bringing their A-game like these trucks are right now. They aren't being lazy and/or repetitive as far as their designs.... well they aren't being super repetitive, these panoramic infotainment slabs are officially outdated but they found a way to make each of theirs unique thankfully. I honestly can't decide which looks better.
To me The previous body style still looks more aggressive and more stylish. in the interior, a style more familiar to what we are used to seeing, for example, in Hyundai or KIA, is depicted, with a single-faced instrument panel. I don't want to be too critical, but I can't say that in the 2025 navigator there are kind of stunning changes.
I really have to admit man, this 2025 5th Generation-Redesigned Navigator is really the class leading King-Sized 3-Row SUV with such more drastic improvements from the outgoing 4th Gen. Navigator before and it stands out the greatest vehicle in its industry at this time. As I think that the Escalade is kicking rocks despite that Navigator is becoming a comeback for tech and styling.
Looks nice. Those screens seem so far away from the driver though, i feel like i would need binoculars lol. I guess I would need to see it in person to really know. But i think they did a good job on the redesign
4:50 thumbs up for Lincoln and Ford on keeping the amber turn signals and making them sequential looks cool too. With LED lights, it’s not difficult to incorporate amber turn signals while still having the unique lighting animations.
Is it me but does the camera quality change significantly when going to wide angle? Navigator looks like real competitor though I wish, too, that they went hybrid!
I'm a huge fan of your reviews. This interior looks really impressive. The thought I had - does the full-length screen in front detract from the driver's view ahead compared to the BMW screen that stops around the middle of the dashboard? I wonder if this is "too much of a good thing" that compromises visibility. That said, it looks awesome.
I recently bought a '23 Navigator BL, so probably should have waited. At the same time, I'm on the fence because the tablet display and all leather dash works just great for me now.
I love the fact that the Navigator offers a 2nd row arm rest console which the Escalade does not. Minor issue for most but I think it offers a little more elegance for the passenger
Thanks for the vid, great work as always. Commenting on when you said the hands-free driving is now a subscription. Didnt they learn from when BMW almost got hammered for that? No feature already on the car should ever be part of a subscription. Full stop. Even if they need to perform an “update”, it should be included like ALL other software updates are. My 2 cents. Thx.
Can’t imagine this thing sitting in a drive way for 5 years plus, curious to how the tech will hold up. I hope this screen trend goes away. Looks great until it doesn’t work.
This seems like a step back while also looking modern. I don’t see this as stealing sales from the Escalade at all. I once loved the Navigator but not anymore.
Anyone who has one of these been happy with the reliability? We have an Explorer ST that has been terrible and we pretty much swore off Ford products. However, I’m digging this.
I don’t have an answer, but i don’t trust the American manufacturers any longer either. I am looking at the Nissan Armada/ Infinity QX80 in 2025 for my next purchase.
Happy Thursday everyone! We had a chance to see the new Navigator in person earlier this week and right now we are heading to Monterey Car Week in Pebble Beach for the weekend to film lots of new car content! Stay tuned! 😊

Absolutely gorgeous! Inside and out! Only thing missing is PowerBoost Hybrid. But still knocked it out of the park! Well done!
Ever since 2020, new vehicles take about a year or a subtle refresh to grow on me.
I wish they did the Continental door handles like they did on the new Nautilus. I feel that would be a great thing for Lincoln to have as their signature feature for all their vehicles.
Agreed! I love those door handles. So beautiful and elegant and unique. I wonder if they don't work on the Navigator because it's too tall?
@@allenmoviesI assume that it is just too tall. Our door handles on our RAM are already pretty high up and they are a good 6” down from the window.

I love how the luxurious the Navigator is. Never had to do to much just enough.
To me The previous body style still looks more aggressive and more stylish. in the interior, a style more familiar to what we are used to seeing, for example, in Hyundai or KIA, is depicted, with a single-faced instrument panel. I don't want to be too critical, but I can't say that in the 2025 navigator there are kind of stunning changes.
I really have to admit man, this 2025 5th Generation-Redesigned Navigator is really the class leading King-Sized 3-Row SUV with such more drastic improvements from the outgoing 4th Gen. Navigator before and it stands out the greatest vehicle in its industry at this time. As I think that the Escalade is kicking rocks despite that Navigator is becoming a comeback for tech and styling.
Looks nice. Those screens seem so far away from the driver though, i feel like i would need binoculars lol. I guess I would need to see it in person to really know. But i think they did a good job on the redesign
This looks really good. Also that engine bay had so much space! They could fit a V8 in there lol.
Unless it has more power? This has more power than the 6.2L V-8 in the Escalade.
@@PearlJamFanLV the question is is it more reliable ? Hell no
And it also has 100 less Newton meter of torque
Can you use it to go from one place to another?
Hello, the previous Lincoln Navigator car had a single muffler, but is this car single or double or if it is single, where is it located?
4:50 thumbs up for Lincoln and Ford on keeping the amber turn signals and making them sequential looks cool too. With LED lights, it’s not difficult to incorporate amber turn signals while still having the unique lighting animations.
Is it me but does the camera quality change significantly when going to wide angle? Navigator looks like real competitor though I wish, too, that they went hybrid!
The best review of all in my opinion, I have 2021 gator just wishing the new 2025 gator got air suspension, does it have it? Thanks
Looks more refined and more upscale than cadilac. Bravo! Lincoln.
Looks like a hearse
I'm a huge fan of your reviews. This interior looks really impressive. The thought I had - does the full-length screen in front detract from the driver's view ahead compared to the BMW screen that stops around the middle of the dashboard? I wonder if this is "too much of a good thing" that compromises visibility. That said, it looks awesome.
I recently bought a '23 Navigator BL, so probably should have waited. At the same time, I'm on the fence because the tablet display and all leather dash works just great for me now.
I think it’s time Lincoln makes continental into a sub brand … so they can really show off
The Lincoln is the best riding luxury SUV on the market.
What would you recommend this or the Escalade v i'm going to sleep and i need to know which one to dream about
Split tailgate is the best part. More manufacturers should bring it back.
I love the fact that the Navigator offers a 2nd row arm rest console which the Escalade does not. Minor issue for most but I think it offers a little more elegance for the passenger
Is there air suspension available🤔
Thank you Sir
Its absolutely nice, i want to buy this car because the design of vehicle is perfect, no doubt
Thanks for the vid, great work as always. Commenting on when you said the hands-free driving is now a subscription. Didnt they learn from when BMW almost got hammered for that? No feature already on the car should ever be part of a subscription. Full stop. Even if they need to perform an “update”, it should be included like ALL other software updates are. My 2 cents. Thx.
Can’t imagine this thing sitting in a drive way for 5 years plus, curious to how the tech will hold up. I hope this screen trend goes away. Looks great until it doesn’t work.
two things. Brakes look comically small and that side badge spans the more than the door and more. Bold
Anything will look comically small when you have such a ridiculously huge vehicle.
Are these seats more comfortable than the escalade?
Would have loved to see ventilated 3 row seats...
Over all, great vehicle and great review as always.
Keep the videos coming!
This seems like a step back while also looking modern. I don’t see this as stealing sales from the Escalade at all. I once loved the Navigator but not anymore.
Anyone who has one of these been happy with the reliability? We have an Explorer ST that has been terrible and we pretty much swore off Ford products. However, I’m digging this.
I don’t have an answer, but i don’t trust the American manufacturers any longer either. I am looking at the Nissan Armada/ Infinity QX80 in 2025 for my next purchase.
Elegant inside out…
Nice 24s
I don’t like the extended wheel base version
Now this is NICEEEEE 😍😍😍
Verone's Lincoln Navigator is very cool.
Where have i seen that grill shape before? ... thats right GMC!
The split tailgate is for lemo service providers. It keeps the area covered while baggage is loaded and unloaded.
When are they comming out and what Colors ??🥰
