Navigator caters to ‘bigger is better’ crowd

If size matters, the all-new Lincoln Navigator is going to win.

Standing next to it makes the onlooker feel positively small, such is its imposing facade.

That aside, it is a classy looking rig and similar in its execution to the concept shown last year.

It’s also bristling with technology; the list runs from the Perfect Position seats with 30 adjustments plus heating, cooling and massage functions, to no fewer than a dozen power outlets and a Trailer Backup Assist system.

A twin-turbo V6 engine, expected to produce 450 horsepower, drives all four wheels through a 10-speed transmission.

Thanks to its weight loss (the high strength aluminum body is almost 100 kilograms lighter than the previous monster), it promises sprightly performance despite the outward dimensions. Lincoln also emphasized the fact that everything was engineered to promote the quietest ride possible.
