It is a very spacious vehicle and it has lots of room.

My vehicle is really a good truck to drive in it is big enough for the whole family to fit in and it is more room so nobody will be cramped up. It do take a lot of gas but it is really worth it I just really love my truck. But in the long run I would probably want another vehicle.

It has many luxury features that make it a joy to drive/ride in.

I love all the fun features like heated and air conditioned seats. The back up camera and park assist is fabulous. It's a pretty color and looks very sleek. My only main issue is I have trouble popping up the second row seats to get to the third row.

Spacious, comfortable and reliable.

My vehicle is super reliable. It is spacious and can carry seven people including the driver comfortably. Once you keep up with the schedule service, the vehicle runs like new. Some problems you may encounter is during the winter with low tire pressure and fuses may go bad from time to time.

Navigator features review.

The navigator has very comfortable seats, a fantastic cabin, and adequate legroom. The features are exceptional for a vehicle in this price range. The navigator handles well in all weather conditions. We have had no problems with performance or reliability.

Delores H

An automatic floor board comes out when the doors open.

I have no problems with the navigator. I have owned a Lincoln since 1988. The comfort, performance and reliability are a 10+. The majority of the features come standard. The only feature that I wish I had is a front camera. I really love the backup camera. Some vehicles have both front and back cameras.

Max S

It's great value. For the price. It has good mileage.

I like the look. I like the quality. I like the brand

Brandi P

Lets you know when you're getting too close to another vehicle or anything else.

It's like riding on air. Heated and air conditioning seats backup view. I have had no mechanical problems just regular upkeep of car. All seats lay down flat if needed I feel that my kids are safe in this vehicle. Car seats anchor down. Plenty room for a large family. Bluetooth connection and GPS are great. The sound system is awesome.

The paint color is called tuxedo black need I say more?

My Lincoln has been a great car everything works consistently and in style. Drove it to Canada 2 summers ago absolutely no issues very comfortable car and looks really nice going down the road.

Great family friendly vehicle with luxury feel

Great family suv. Luxury feel. Great for long rides. Problems include sometimes the automatic step doesn't go done on one side when you open the door.

It's long lasting. Ours now has over 200K miles and still going strong.

The vehicle is sturdy and dependable. The only thing I don't like about it is that it takes a lot of gas. It doesn't get good gas mileage. Other than that, I love it.

Pros from Owners

Peter F.

Plenty of passenger / cargo space. Very comfortable seats with fine leather upholstery. Comfortable and stable ride. Engine provides good acceleration for the vehicles size. Luxury amenities are still useful 8 years after vehicle debut.

Cons from Owners

Peter F.

Gas mileage is subpar, but that was expected for this size vehicle. Can be challenging to get into for older driver / passengers. Usually have to park further from other vehicles because of the sheer size.
