What's New
The 2023 Lincoln Navigator SUV gains some new paint colors and an electronic limited-slip differential for the available towing package. The current Navigator debuted in 2018 and received a mild exterior refresh last year.
Choosing Your Lincoln Navigator
The regular 2023 Navigator comes in three trim levels: Standard, Reserve, and Black Label. Pricing starts at $79,330 and heads to $107,770 for the Black Label.
The extended-length Navigator L is offered in Reserve and Black Label trims, priced from $94,550 and $111,565, respectively.
Engine Choices
Every 2023 Navigator is powered by 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 that develops 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. The Standard and Reserve start out with rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive is available for $3,000.
The Black Label comes exclusively with 4WD. All models use a 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Towing capacity ranges from 8,300 to 8,700 pounds, depending on configuration.
Rear-drive models are EPA-rated at 17 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. Estimates ease by 1 mpg with 4WD.
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Navigator is a full-size SUV with standard seating for seven across three rows. The available no-cost second-row bench seat boosts capacity to eight.
The standard 2023 Navigator offers 19.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row and 57.5 cubic feet with it folded. With both rear rows down, the Navigator can swallow up to 103.3 cubic feet.
The Navigator L offers an additional foot of length behind the third row, which translates into 120.2 cubic feet of total cargo space. The Navigator L remains one of the most spacious SUVs on the market.
Safety Features
Every Navigator comes loaded with active safety technology. Standard equipment includes adaptive cruise control with lane-centering, lane-keeping assist, evasive steering assist, surround-view cameras, intersection assist, an automated parking system, automatic wipers and high beams, a rear camera washer, and front and rear automatic emergency braking.
The Reserve and Black Label also carry a head-up display and a hands-free highway driving system called ActiveGlide.
Connectivity
The 2023 Navigator's infotainment system spares nothing buyers expect in this class. Features include a 13.2-inch touchscreen, satellite and HD radio, Wi-Fi capability, wireless phone charging, five USB ports, four power ports, a household-style outlet, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
The Standard and Reserve come with a 14-speaker Revel sound system. A 28-speaker Revel system is optional on the Reserve and standard on the Black Lebel.

The 2023 Lincoln Navigator is impressively luxurious no matter how it's equipped. That said, we still recommend starting your build with the Reserve, which offers a handful of special amenities that aren't available on the Standard model.
