WITH THE 2018 NAVIGATOR, LINCOLN WANTS TO MAKE EACH TRIP ‘EFFORTLESS’

Lincoln's resurgence may have started with the Continental, but the new Navigator shows it's ready to battle the luxury elite
Lincoln shocked the automotive world with its stunning Continental sedan last year in Detroit, and at the 2017 New York Auto Show, the luxury brand revealed an equally-



impressive follow up — the all-new 2018 Navigator. The Navigator represents the vehicle’s first full redesign since 2006, and the results are something to behold. Starting from the outside, the SUV looks handsome and refined with tasteful body contours, a “floating” panoramic roof, and a bevy of LEDs including a set that softly illuminates the Lincoln badge. Despite all the regalia, the Navigator isn’t overly gaudy. Instead, the seven-seater carries a soft elegance to it, something Lincoln calls “quiet luxury.” We definitely miss the gullwing doors from the concept though. “Quiet luxury is both a look and a feeling,” said Kumar Galhotra, President of Lincoln Motor Company. “The all-new Navigator embodies both. The sleek styling, spacious interior and technology are all designed to make each trip effortless.” More: Infiniti’s QX80 Monograph concept debuts with bolder, more aggressive styling The exterior is certainly appealing, but the Navigator’s real highlights exist inside the massive cabin. And yes, it truly is massive. Lincoln says the vehicle features more cargo room than any other SUV, and after seeing it in person, we believe it.
