NEW LINCOLN NAVIGATOR COMMANDS THE ROAD

FEATURES INCLUDE ELEVATED DESIGN, ACTIVEGLID­E HANDS-FREE DRIVING

- BY MIKE SELF

HEADS turn at the sight of a Lincoln Navigator with its unmistakab­le, commanding presence and elegant design. And with the debut of the new 2022 Navigator, Lincoln is elevating first-class travel yet again with the introducti­on of more effortless technologi­es. The new 2022 Navigator is the first Lincoln vehicle to offer Activeglid­e. An evolution of Intelligen­t Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-go, Lane Centering and Speed Sign Recognitio­n, Lincoln Activeglid­e adds a new level of convenienc­e for drivers. Signature blue light cues appear on the digital cluster and headup display to indicate when the system’s advanced camera and radar are activated, enabling drivers to operate Navigator hands-free on prequalifi­ed sections of divided highways. Hands-free Blue Zones include more than 130,000 miles of dedicated highways across North America in the Lincoln GPS mapping system. A driver-facing camera in the instrument cluster monitors eye gaze and head position to help ensure a driver’s eyes stay on the road.

The new Navigator boasts a stunning design, a true expression of Lincoln luxury with an updated signature grille and new front end, giving a more dynamic presence on the road. Standard adaptive pixel projector headlamps debut with a new look that accentuate­s the fascia and imparts a modern aesthetic to the SUV. New 3D taillamps fade from the center out upon welcome and out to center upon farewell, creating a depth that gives the LED lights a more dynamic look and enhances the overall welcome of Lincoln Embrace, providing balance and a commanding stance.

Additional standard features include forward collision warning, post collision braking, distance alert, dynamic brake support, pedestrian detection, auto hold, hill start assist, automatic headlamps, voice-activated touchscree­n navigation and phone as a key.

The new Navigator will be built at Lincoln’s Kentucky Truck Plant and arrives in dealership­s early next year.
