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.
