El All-New Lincoln Navigator: First-Class Modern Luxury for The Entire Familia!
- All-new Lincoln Navigator combines sleek, modern design with smooth power to turn heads and help families move confidently on the road
- Luxurious, spacious interior allows first-class seating for every passenger, with a dozen power outlets so everyone can stay charged and connected
- New advanced technology allows drivers to adjust Navigator with the twist of a knob to make driving easier and more enjoyable in any weather or terrain
- All-new Navigator comes with Lincoln’s signature personalized client service, including standard Pickup & Delivery
Lincoln today introduces the 2018 Navigator, an all-new full-size SUV that combines modern luxury with advanced technology – elevating family travel to first class.
Wireless charging and standard Wi-Fi keep everyone connected. Advanced technology allows the driver to effortlessly adjust the vehicle to make driving easier or more enjoyable – in any weather or terrain. With more space for your belongings than any other large SUV*, the all-new Navigator assures almost nothing is left behind.
“Quiet luxury is both a look and a feeling,” says Kumar Galhotra, president, The Lincoln Motor Company. “The all-new Navigator embodies both. The sleek styling, spacious interior and technology are all designed to make each trip effortless.”
Modern elegance
Navigator’s elegance is on display before the doors even open. Upon approach, the chrome Lincoln star logo on the grille softly illuminates**. Then, LED lighting in the lower front body and taillamps subtly engages, and a luminous Lincoln welcome mat appears beneath the front doors.
At night, interior ambient lights sequentially illuminate each of the SUV’s three rows. During the day, a panoramic roof fills the cabin with natural light.
A twin-turbo V6 engine projected to produce 450 horsepower provides smooth power whenever you need it, delivered through a 10-speed transmission. Navigator’s lighter, high-strength aluminum-alloy body removes nearly 200 pounds, helping create a more refined ride.
Additional weight savings have been reinvested in features such as towing capability and quietness. For example, laminated front and side glass contributes to the quietest Navigator cabin ever.
The all-new Navigator offers speed-dependent adaptive lighting, a new Lincoln technology that provides a wider spread of light at lower speeds for increased visibility – helpful when driving through residential areas. As the vehicle accelerates, the beam of light narrows to help eliminate the glare off signs or other distractions.
Beneath the sleek interior are inclination and intrusion sensors, which trigger an alarm if someone attempts to move or enter the vehicle.
Spacious, luxurious interior
Inside, spaciousness comes in all three rows, including storage in each to keep the cabin clean and organized. The all-new Navigator’s advanced cargo management system offers an adjustable shelf behind the rear seats that allows clients to create storage customized to their needs. Even with the vehicle parked on an incline, the feature ensures groceries won’t roll out when the liftgate is opened.
The interior layout is clean and uncluttered, with a simple, soothing ambience.
“When designing the Navigator, we put an emphasis on ultra-luxury touch points,” says David Woodhouse, Lincoln design director. “We took everything the client would see and touch, and made sure it would look and feel a little more exuberant, a little more indulgent and incredibly beautiful.”
Staying connected is easy in the all-new Navigator with six USB ports, four 12-volt power outlets and a 110-volt plug. An available wireless phone charger in the first-row center console media bin eliminates tangled cords.
The client experience is further elevated through Lincoln’s new Personal Profile. It uses the key fob to recall individual driver preferences for adapting seat, mirror and pedal positions, as well as climate control and entertainment settings.
For owners desiring a more personalized look, Navigator comes with three Lincoln Black Label options – an exclusive collection of interior design themes and materials, plus a host of membership privileges.
First-class seating for all
Even when the all-new Navigator is fully packed, each occupant can sit in comfort. The driver and front-seat passenger enjoy Perfect Position Seats, which offer massage, heating and cooling functionality, and can be adjusted up to 30 different ways.
Standard SYNC® 3 with both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility enables clients to manage audio, phone, navigation and more from the vehicle touch screen or steering wheel-mounted controls. Second-row passengers have their own audio and climate control, while third-row seats feature power recline capability.
An available rear-seat entertainment system allows passengers to stream content wirelessly with an Android device to one of the 10-inch adjustable screens mounted on the rear of the front seats. Content also can be accessed through more traditional devices like an SD card, an HDMI cord or a USB, as well as through SYNC AppLink™, which permits the front-seat passenger to monitor and select viewing choices.
Each screen can display different content, allowing a personalized entertainment experience for every passenger. Through Lincoln’s agreement with Sling Media, those who own a Slingbox can access their TV channels on the go. The standard Wi-Fi allows for up to 10 mobile devices at a time to be connected.
Clients can enjoy available Revel® II audio with 20 speakers that work in concert with Navigator’s interior design and acoustics. This transforms the cabin into a personal amphitheater with three distinct listening modes – stereo, audience and on-stage.
Family-friendly technology
Navigator is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The 12-inch configurable instrument cluster allows drivers to choose the information they want displayed.
The available Head-Up Display allows drivers to show selected information on the windshield instead of the instrument cluster. The system helps drivers keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
It’s also easy to adjust to changing conditions. With the turn of a dial, the driver can adapt the Navigator to changing road or weather, and enjoy a smooth, confident ride.
Additional available technology includes:
- Trailer Backup Assist, which automatically steers the vehicle to turn a trailer the desired amount – meaning less time required to perform the task. Navigator is expected to deliver more towing capability than any other premium full-size SUV
- 360-degree camera and enhanced park assist, which reduce stress from parallel and perpendicular parking. The system integrates views from four cameras to create an overhead image so the driver can see all around the vehicle
- Adaptive cruise control, which automatically slows Navigator in stop-and-go traffic – resuming speed when traffic allows

As we kick-off the month of love, Ford Motor Company would like to emphasize the importance of protecting ourselves and our loved ones by wearing a safety belt year-round. On February 14, the automotive giant, will kick-off its award-winning Abróchate Por Amor initiative for 2022, reminding everyone that wearing safety belts save lives.
The digital and community programs initiative aims to jumpstart the habit of safety belt usage, especially among new and young drivers. Abróchate Por Amor encourages everyone to take a 7-Day Challenge by wearing their safety belt above the shoulder every time they get behind the wheel. To celebrate the importance of establishing safe driving habits, share a selfie using the hashtag #AbrochatePorAmor — while your vehicle is parked.
According to the U.S Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), safety belt use in passenger vehicles saves thousands of lives each year, in 2017 alone an estimated 14,955 lives were saved by safety belts.
In 2018, nearly half of the 22,697 passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes were unbuckled – 52% of male passenger vehicle occupants killed were not wearing a safety belt, as compared to 39% of women. According to the National Occupant Protection Use Survey, safety belt use continued to be lower for males (87.7%) than females (92.0%) in 2018. Among teens and young adults 18 to 34 killed in crashes in 2018, more than half (58%) were completely unrestrained, one of the highest percentages for all age groups.
Crashes are still the leading cause of teen deaths. Tragically, safety belts use is lowest among teen drivers. In fact, the majority of teenagers involved in fatal crashes are unbuckled.
Join the safety revolution and take the pledge today! For additional information about the APA Campaign, please visit: https://www.facebook.com/abrochateporamor/

Ford Motor Company, Ford Fund Invest More than $400,000 to Support Latina Entrepreneurs Impacted by COVID-19
Ford and Ford Motor Company Fund, the company’s philanthropic arm, are investing more than $400,000 to strengthen and support Latina small business owners as they battle challenges posed by COVID-19.
Beginning today, Latina small-business owners nationwide can apply for a $5,000 grant through the Ford Driving Dreams Latina Entrepreneurs program. In addition, monthly webinars are being planned for early 2021 to provide critical educational resources, networking opportunities and other business development tools for Latina entrepreneurs as they weather the global pandemic.
“Minority and women-owned small businesses have been especially hard hit during COVID-19,” said Mary Culler, president, Ford Motor Company Fund. “Our goal is to provide much-needed resources to help minimize the economic uncertainty that many Latina small-business owners, their families, employees and surrounding communities are all experiencing during these unprecedented times.”
The Latina Entrepreneurs program was announced during a virtual event, “Juntas Podemos: How to Adapt to Changes and Market Trends.” The event, which featured a panel of entrepreneurs that shared advice for Latina small-business owners, was the first of many online events that will be offered as part of the new initiative.
Throughout the first quarter of 2021, several online trainings and webinars will be offered, covering topics such as financial planning, funding opportunities, branding, technology and communications tools, among others. Webinars will be offered for Ford Driving Dreams Latina Entrepreneurs grant recipients and will be accessible to the public, as well.
The Ford Driving Dreams Latina Entrepreneurs initiative is being implemented in collaboration with eMerge Americas and the National Development Council. To apply, interested small- business owners can visit www.FordDrivingDreams.com to complete an online grant application and view program guidelines, timing and details. Winners will be announced in early December.
The Ford Driving Dreams Latina Entrepreneurs initiative adds to Ford Fund’s long-standing commitment to driving socio-economic mobility in Latino communities across the U.S. and Latin America. The new program is an extension of Ford Fund’s signature Ford Driving Dreams initiative that has delivered more than $10 million in scholarships and educational resources for over 200,000 middle and high school students across the United States, Puerto Rico, Latin America and Europe.
The new Latina Entrepreneurs program is the latest example of how Ford Fund is providing assistance during the global pandemic. To date, Ford Fund has contributed nearly $3 million to assist nonprofits and community organizations helping people manage challenges related to COVID-19, including more than $1.1 million raised by employees and others through its COVID- 19 Donation Match program.
