2024 Lincoln Navigator Premiere

The Navigator is Lincoln's full-size three-row SUV, the one that goes up against the Escalade and the Grand Wagoneer. It's a big, heavy SUV, so it moves with a deliberate, unhurried feel rather than any sporty urgency. The ride is genuinely cushy, and the seats are among the most comfortable you'll find in any vehicle. Inside, you get a huge, airy cabin with room for seven or eight, plus a power-folding third row that's easy to use. The Premiere is the entry point to Navigator ownership, skipping the Reserve's upgraded leather and power-deploying running boards while keeping the same powertrain and most of the tech. Its 3.5L V6 makes 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, moved through a ten-speed automatic to four-wheel drive, and the EPA rates it at 18 mpg combined. The Premiere still gets the adaptive suspension with road preview, so it rides as smoothly as the pricier trims over broken pavement.
