What Is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator?
The 2023 Lincoln Navigator is a full-size luxury SUV with seating for up to eight people, if you choose an optional second-row bench versus the standard dual captain’s chairs. With its massive prow and commanding seating position, the Navigator cuts a path through traffic wherever it ventures. A 440-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 teamed with a 10-speed automatic transmission is the sole powertrain, though there is a choice between rear- and all-wheel drive. Maximum towing capacity is a stout 8,700 pounds. For those who need even more Lincoln SUV in their life, there’s also a long-wheelbase Navigator L. Other than small houses, direct rivals to the Navigator include the Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW X7 and Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
What’s New on the 2023 Lincoln Navigator?
The Navigator receives only small changes for the 2023 model year. Reserve and Black Label trims equipped with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Towing Package now come with an electronic limited-slip differential, and second-row massaging seats are also now standard on those trims.

Should I Buy the 2023 Lincoln Navigator?
The Lincoln Navigator is one of the biggest SUVs available today, and it’s priced accordingly: A fully loaded Navigator in long-wheelbase L format and Black Label trim soars well beyond $100,000. Many car shoppers, however, will be fine without adding every conceivable option to this amply proportioned and well-equipped sport-ute. The cabin is elegantly designed, and the tech features are easy to use without needing to spend days reading the owner’s manual. If you need a vehicle of this scale, the Navigator is worth a test drive.
