Lincoln's flagship Navigator was launched in 1998 as a response to the increasing demand for luxurious full-size SUVs. Spanning four generations, Lincoln's top-flight SUV has gone head to head against Cadillac's wildly popular Escalade. This fourth-generation Navigator entered Lincoln's lineup in 2018 and helped bring the flagship SUV into prominence once again.
This latest Navigator uses Ford's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 to send 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque through a ten-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels or all four if you opt for the four-wheel-drive variant.
In this episode of Quick Spin, Executive Editor Tom Murphy puts the Lincoln Navigator Black Label edition through its paces and highlights its features and interior before taking you along on a live drive review. Adding more context, Murphy chats with host Wesley Wren about the Navigator's competition, its sales history, and its price. The pair also talk about where the Navigator would excel, how it stacks up against Cadillac's Escalade, and what makes the 2022 Lincoln Navigator special.
