Pros: New turbo V6 engine delivers improved economy with no significant sacrifice in power; Spacious and comfortable 3rd-row seat folds flat to the floor; impressive towing capacity; lots of standard equipment
Cons: Fuel economy is still poor compared to most vehicles; some controls are placed out of easy reach; tall step-in height means entry and exit can be tricky for smaller occupants
CG Says: The Lincoln Navigator sees a substantial refresh that includes updated interior and exterior styling, new infotainment and safety features, a topline trim level called Reserve, and a 380-horsepower turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 in place of the previous 5.4-liter V8. The Navigator is obviously an expensive vehicle, but it is actually something of a bargain when compared to the rest of its class—and to high-end versions of the Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban and GMC Yukon. The Navigator’s 3rd-row seat space and comfort remains among the best in the class, and the extensive updates for 2015 help Navigator hold its own against the redesigned Cadillac Escalade.
