Lincoln's large luxury SUV, the Lincoln Navigator, has been completely redesigned for 2007, with significant improvements in refinement, a more luxurious interior, and a cleaner, more elegant exterior appearance. The new Lincoln Navigator gets more of a chiseled look on the outside, with an upright chrome grille and more prominent, simple chrome trim alongside. Wheels come in several attention-getting designs. Machined aluminum 18-inch wheels are standard; 20-inch chrome ones are available.
Inside, the Lincoln Navigator is fashionable and formal, with instrument-panel bezels styled after fashion eyewear, real Dark Ebony or Anigre grain-matched wood trim for the console and upper door panels, plus satin-nickel trim. The interior also includes soft leather upholstery and soft white lighting. An acoustic windshield and thicker glass help reduce noise.
A 5.4L V8, making 300 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque, is the only engine offered on the Lincoln Navigator, paired with a new six-speed automatic transmission that brings an especially wide gear range, for improved acceleration and fuel economy. It can also tow up to 9,100 pounds.
The Lincoln Navigator gets a new independent rear suspension design that allows more confident handling. The safety-oriented AdvanceTrac stability control system with roll stability control (RSC) is now standard, along with front side air bags, Safety Canopy side air bags for all three rows of outboard occupants, and new knee bolsters for front occupants.
The Lincoln Navigator L is nearly 15 inches longer than the standard Lincoln Navigator, bringing an additional 25 cubic feet of cargo space compared to the standard Lincoln Navigator, along with improved entry and exit for second- and third-row occupants. Actual seating space is the same between the Lincoln Navigator and Lincoln Navigator L, but easier access is possible with the wider-opening back doors.
The second row can be configured 40/20/40 for versatile folding to accommodate combinations of passengers and cargo, and the third row is also split-folding and tumbles forward to make a flat cargo floor. A PowerFold system, which automated the third row's fold-and-tumble operation, makes the additional 54.5 cubic feet of cargo space even more easily accessible. And there's also an available power liftgate. With all the seats up, there's seating for eight.
Each model is available with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. There's also an Ultimate model available with any of the variants, which adds a power moonroof, a power liftgate with flip-up window, heated and cooled front seats, an overhead console, and the power-folding third-row feature.
A 600-watt THX premium audio system, with a six-disc changer and 14 speakers, is available. It's offered in a package, paired with the rear-seat DVD system, which includes an eight-inch viewing screen and wireless headphones.
The long list of standard features on all Lincoln Navigators includes automatic dual-zone climate control, HID headlamps, a reverse sensing system, a garage door opener, ten-way power driver and front passenger seats, and adjustable pedals.
