Besides the redesigned full-size Navigator SUV, the Lincoln luxury brand includes the Aviator, Nautilus and Corsair crossover utility models.

With three rows of seating and lots of cargo capacity, Navigator is Lincoln’s most-versatile vehicle, and also its most-powerful. Prices for 2022 begin at $76,710, and run as high as $102,980 for the new Black Label edition.

Navigator’s twin-turbo V-6 engine produces up to 440 horsepower and 510 foot-pounds of torque. It’s connected to a 10-speed automatic transmissi­on. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive is available. And with the debut of the new

LINCOLN NAVIGATOR

2022 Navigator, Lincoln is raising the bar again in the full-size luxury SUV class with thAZe introducti­on of more technologi­es.

Navigator is the first Lincoln vehicle to offer ActiveGlid­e, which the company says is “an evolution of Intelligen­t Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering and Speed Sign Recognitio­n.”

Aviator

The Lincoln Aviator is a rear- or all-wheel-drive midsize, three-row, luxury crossover, which arrived all new for 2020, including regular gasoline-only and plug-in hybrid versions.

Lincoln previously used the Aviator name on a luxury version of the Ford Explorer in the early 2000s, and now has revived it for the new model, which is similarly based on the architectu­re of the current Explorer.

Nautilus

The Lincoln Nautilus, a midsize, five-passenger luxury crossover introduced last year, is essentiall­y a renamed and made-over version of the crossover previously known as the MKX.

Nautilus features a new signature Lincoln grille, a choice of turbocharg­ed gasoline engines, and a variety of new driver-assist and safety technologi­es, including one that’s becoming popular this year throughout the auto industry – a lane-centering feature.

Corsair

The Corsair is the entry-level crossover in the Lincoln lineup, and was added three years ago to replace the MKC, which was Lincoln’s first small crossover utility vehicle.

New is a plug-in hybrid version that includes standard allwheel drive. The Corsair gives consumers yet another choice of a premium model in this rapidly growing market segment.
