The Lincoln Navigator is a great option for the family seeking high-end luxury, plenty of seating and power without sacrificing safety. The Navigator's 3.5-liter, twin-turbo V-6 engine provides 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque but gets a respectable RWD fuel economy of 17 mpg city and 23 highway, while the 4WD is EPA-rated at 16/22. If you're seeking more cargo volume, the Navigator-L has an extended wheelbase and a bigger gas tank to deliver the goods.
For the height of luxury, Lincoln offers a Black Label Trim package with multiple amenities that include 22-inch alloy wheels, massaging front seats and captain's chairs for the second row. Black Label Navigators also give you four years or 50,000 miles of complimentary maintenance as well as Lincoln Pickup and Delivery service.
Competitors include the Cadillac Escalade, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLS, Lexus LX 600 and Infiniti QX80. MotorTrend ranks the Navigator a close second in Best Luxury Full-Size 3-Row SUVs, but the Lincoln bests the first-place vehicle by a considerable amount when it comes to fuel economy. For comfort, technology and good gas mileage in this class, the Navigator is an excellent choice.
