The 2022 Lincoln Navigator Is A Pleasantly Updated Flagship Luxury SUV 

LOVE that the Lincoln has door handles that you actually pull and interior buttons. Some of us don't want all this touch screen b.s. everywhere in your car. Good looking vehicle!

Lincoln’s themed interiors are so classy. Love the green leather. This vehicle defined the category in 2018 and still does.

The 2017 Lincoln Continental was the first Lincoln to adapt Lincoln’s new design language and the perfect positioning seats. The Navigator was the first SUV to get the treatment in the Lincoln family.

Honestly love the looks of it. I think the 3 luxury SUVs offer their own thing.

27:38 Robert flipped the bird to the Sienna. I love the naturalness and real world coming in. Not a fan of self driving. Too much can go wrong.

I really respect sofyan style of presentation skillset, hope I meet this dude someday at a random Chipotle or Starbucks lol. It would be nice if sofyan did a q and a, talks cars to shop, cars to avoid, cars to hold of on, cars to hold off for, would be awesome!

Such a beautiful suv. It looks so clean, exterior and interior, unlike the Escalade that has a bunch of cuts and super small third row windows. The column gets on your way and makes you feel super uncomfortable. Lincoln also has the best third row seats with plenty of legroom, plus they recline, and you have easy sliding access through the second row. This is a refresh unlike the Cadillac that is a complete redesign and this still looks so much nicer. I love how they hide the door handles and how everything is symmetrical, and how the second row seats offers the center consul. I have a 2017 Navigator L Black Label, I’m considering updating to this refresh.

The zooming in this video is all over the place lmao

Wow, Lincoln actually found some designers and engineers who hadn't failed TAILLLIGHTS 101 and fitted this thing with amber rear indicator lights.

I'm still driving my Navigator L from 2011, only 100K miles; it goes like the first 100 miles with no significant repairs and unbelievable comfort. Do have the air suspension and every available option, don't think you can beat it. Look forward to purchasing another, but the Premium Gas requirement is a tad of a turn-off, but then again, we don't put a lot of miles on ours to worry about it. ELectric sounds excellent, but towing distance will not be possible for a long time. - 6 seconds, don't see the need in a 6000lb vehicle. Remember that is about a Porche 911 time in 2000. The first curve, forget about sports handing. Mileage ratings on the Ford Lighting are about 300-350. You can cut that in half with any trailer of significant weight and spend most of your day driving at charging stations. Love the new seats, but the old ones aren't that bad, still better than 90% of new cars on the road. S ze, room, seat room are still the same as in 2011. 5.4-liter engines are known for going quickly 200K with all your maintenance. Ye s, 11 years, I blacked out my chrome with vinyl wrap; Lincoln needs to drop some of the big chrome panels. T at style was dead 10 years ago. Still, the best riding vehicle I have ever owned and the most extended vehicle ever owned. T e self-driving looks poor, but as with any other car that I have rented, it seems the technology just isn't there yet, buzzers, seat vibrations, lane veering with any manufacture. O er $70K back then, amazingly with the excellent condition and maintenance and 100K miles can still get $20K plus in today's market. N t terrible after 11 years of use. Good help with my next purchase. Thanks for the great review.

The front grille makes this one look like it is older than pre-facelifted one. Odd choice with the chrome bar indentation.

Navigator definitely is the top choice between the Escalade Sport Plat(best exterior) and Grand Wagoneer. Reasons why: 1.better mpg 2.better interior materials, hard to find cost cutting materials in the Nav vs all the plastic touch pieces in the Escalade. 3. better reliability 4. Better service department(Jeep is the worst of the three) 5.no air suspension to fail after 50k miles. Air suspension is overrated and has many leak issues. This is why Lexus LX uses hydraulic suspension which on average last 85k miles and is easier to maintain. 6.I found after driving all three, the Nav to be the most comfortable and have the quieter interior. My take on it, the Escalade is a Peacock SUV for those who like to be flashy and the Wagoneer is weirdly boxy and the service department is not a place to take $100k suv to when you’re spending that kind of money and Jeeps have horrible reliability, so having a bare bones service dept. and expecting a higher level of service is not going to happen. Escalade is great upfront but the 2nd row is very cheap when compared to the black label Nav. for the same money.The trend of big oled screens is actually more distracting, not a fan. Just my .02

I really like that interior. Actually, i like the exterior as well. That dark green is gorgeous

I can see these types of land yacht sells declining because of gas prices, supply chain issues, and chip shortage. Adding the Aviator's 3.0L hybrid engine with 494hp/630tq would be a good option with today's gas prices

Rob always looks like he’s watching out for cops 🙂

" I'll Always Love Lincoln Motor Company "

New camera equipment? Some of those zooms and pans were a bit abrupt.

Great review as usual and thanks for knowing the hp had decreased for it seems other reviewers isn’t aware of this fact.

Always liked the Navigator. Actually prefer this model when compared to Cadillac or Grand Wagoneer. The exterior on the navigator is a stylish vehicle but my number 1 priority is the interior. The interior on the navigator and other Lincoln vehicles just gives you that luxurious feeling. The only low point, in my opinion, is losing the V-8. Having an 8 cylinder just gives you a better feeling than a turbo V-6.

Sofyan is the most professional guy for car reviews! Best environment, description, such a pleasure to listen ,this guy makes Doug demuro a joke but people like stupidity nowadays! Proud of you Sofyan!

That black appearance package looks good.

I think it looks better than the Escalade.

I don't know.. there's something about the exterior that still looks unpolished. The Escalade is so clean it can go toe to toe with the Range Rover but I feel like Lincoln and Lexus actually are struggling in the design section. The interior is crazy but this dosent have the same presence and the Escalade.

Lincoln is making some bold plays in the luxury SUV realm. I dig it. Also noticed Rob doing some unique videography during the review. Different camera maybe, or just trying something different?

The Navigator is turning into your Granddaddy's SUV again. The Escalade V is where the helm is.

Been waiting for this!!

The Manhattan green is the best color I've seen. I want one!

My guess is that ActiveGlide (and subsequently BlueCruise) wasn't as effective due to the type of sunglasses you are wearing. There is a section in the owner's manuals about BlueCruise in the MME (p.237); "The driver-facing camera may not operate correctly due to any of the following...wearing glasses or sunglasses that are too dark or reflective." Chances are the Lincoln manual includes the same info.

Also, the L version of the Navigator does *not* give you more space in the third row. It only increases the cargo space _behind_ the third row. The Cadillac Escalade is the only one that increases both third row leg room _and_ the space behind the third row when you opt for a extended version (Escalade ESV).

This looks like a fancy Expedition

Wow, I been waiting for this one. Also I totally love the paint job on this vehicle as well. Also I rather get this vehicle over it's competition. But great review sofyan.

Weird that the expedition gets a bigger screen.

I love the design

idk what you're talking about Rob, that was the sexiest audio I've ever heard

Great well detailed review. Keep up the hard work.

Active glide hands on 🤣🤣🤣. The Lincoln executives probably didn't think about what that actually meant before rolling it out which is funny because they do a lot of research into this.

27:38 watch the birdie!!

I love my Lincoln.

Just ordered a 2022 standard Navigator yesterday. Hopefully here by Christmas. This video was helpful, as there were no Navigators on the lot to even test drive or sit in.

that is an ugly cabin. ill take the escalade any day

Caddy and jeep wagoneer got nice looking interiors.

Well with the headlights the old nav was the only one with 2 bars in the headlight all the other cars had the one since it is there biggest vehicle i actually found it very cool with the 2 bars

Excellent review!. One of the best videos I saw on RU-vid. What was the tool you had on windshield to measure a 0-60? Thanks

I'd give that Wisconsin cheesehead the bird too. The navi looks good but seems like the target demographic is stuck in time.

New camera work!! First time seeing zoom! And first time seeing digital dash display on camera!! Beautiful SUV!! Good work!!👌

Perfect position, Active Glide, Blue Cruise, this is one very naughty Lincoln!

I’m sorry but this is a old man’s luxury behemoth. No matter what they’ve done this is just no match for the futuristic and bold styling of the new Cadillac Escalade. I even prefer the GMC Yukon Denali with the 6.2L over this, interior and exterior. The gauge cluster, infotainment display integration, Google assistant and overall technology is way better in the GMC.

Whats the payload? Can you get one with a trailer brake controller? Everyone towing wants Powerboost. It can run the camper AC. Ford is waiting for the Expedition refresh to add it.

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah IDK this is still my favorite large luxury SUV. i dont care that it doesn't have ridiculous screens. thats a selling point

i love the navigator but im disappointed it doesn't offer a digital rear-view camra, the 2021 traverse has it.

These vehicles are way out of my price range, but I live between two neighbors, one has a 2020 Navigator and the other 2021 Escalade. I'm not sure if the Escalade neighbor just got bad luck with a lemon, but seeing what he has gone through, if I were in the market for these behemoths, I'd defintely go with the Nav. Nothing wrong with the Nav yet, but the Escalade seems to have been in the dealership more than in my neighbor's driveway. I haven't asked too much about it, but I do know he had problems with the camera system (none of them worked, or wouldn't show on his screen) and the cruise control, which also effects the Caddy hands free driving system, whatever that's called.

That green color is really nice. Would be my choice 👍

Wow. 🤩 I’m sold on the green combo alone.

New camera man this time? lol. They really love the zoom.

Please make sure your info is correct. 5 minutes in and 3 big mistakes already: -Premium fuel is NOT required -The 4WD system is NOT full time. -The L (extended) version is just shy of 1ft longer, not 1.5ft

Love the interior. Looks better than the latest Lexus LX.

Different cameraman? the camera work seems a bit less polished....

The updates definitely boosted the appeal of an already desirable luxury SUV! I prefer the more qualitative look and material usage on the dash compared to the overwhelming screen usage of the Escalade and Grand Wagoneer. Although the Grand Wagoneer also has a pretty well designed dash...

Nice ride. And this video was great. Had me laughing after the hands-free comment and when the middle finger was appropriately displayed. Lol

When will they put the powerboost / Hybrid engine ???

Also if youve seen it move on the streets it accelerates as quick as a car and maneuvers very sports like

I have the HUD in my 2018 accord and it's 1200 to replace the windshield. Definitely not something I expected

One thing I personally hate wether it bothers anyone else or not is when the headliner is a tan color or grey and from the bottom of the pillar down to the carpet is black . Ok black hides the dirty footwell yata yata yata but it’s so much nicer when the headliner is the same color whatever that may be . If you get in most actual high end suvs like Bentley , Lamborghini , Porsche the headliner is always matching . Even Audi offers matching headliner these days if you choose specific packages . Tell me the giant Pano roof isn’t enough to make it bright airy enough to not have to use light colors up top . I like the suv as a whole it’s great for huge families who can afford it . They are missing a mini fridge like the new Escalade ,Lexus LX and Jeep Wagoneer have . I also would appreciate if the third row could lay back a bit which would make it feel a bit more roomy in my opinion. As always great review !

17:06 There is a button on the pillar to move the second row seats to get to the third row.

That's a beautiful scenery at the start of the video

Could the hands free system not be working well because you're wearing dark sunglasses- also, you're going 10 mph over the speed limit?

We got the 2020 Lincoln Corsair Reserve and thats just as great!

I am just wondering does the Active Glide system need to be serviced on a regular basis? Oh and wet it is raining does it have a Wet Glide feature? Asking for a friend.

How come this car has the older steering wheel instead of the same one from the Aviator?

No need to apologize. The video was good, informative and funny.

I think the Navigator is best compared to a GMC Yukon Denali over an Escalade/Wago comparison.

This camera is good? i feel it jumps too much when zooming... also a bit too much noise or am i just too picky? (maybe stoned lol)

Did you guys film this with the iPhone 13 pro? Video looks way better!

THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE CAR IN USA IN LUXERY ... IT IS BY ALL MEANS & DEEDS THE QUEEN OF CARS ...

The Navigator is on a very archaic platform and architecture of product hence you don't see soft close doors, electronic door latches, non carpeted side cargo trim,, etc. Designers and engineers missed the mark on attention to detail for the interior.

Your passenger is adorable. 🤣🥰

Not sure if you guys changed your camera, but this video was really crisp looking. Edit, it was the iPhone wasn’t it? Lol.

I think Lincoln could have added a hybrid to the engines to be more competitive. Love Lincoln though.

lincoln nailed it love lincoln

Nice job Lincoln!

I think the “2 or 3 memory” settings on cars now is so old fashion. These expensive vehicles should just be able to recognize me and set the memory settings accordingly.

I assume an update, my wireless carplay does the whole screen, there's an expand icon on my '23 Navigator. The luxury is best experienced in-person. The 28-speakers are superb. It's a fantastic, six-figure luxury yacht. Nothing wrong with the Cadillac, but I just like something more unique. This has the buttons for what I want, I don't need to use the screens constantly. The ride quality is great. I did upgrade the tires to Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive tires and matching front tint.

Although Lincoln theoretically added second-row massaging seats, they are currently not available due to the chip shortage. Hey, Lincoln, maybe if you stopped worrying about building cars for the Chinese. you'd have enough chips to build fully functional cars for the U.S. market! You ARE an American company after all---at least as of right now!

The Navigator is still my favorite SUV overall. It’s got all the luxury, but it stays more traditional and elegant. It’s not trying to be a spaceship by throwing new electronic crap on everything that doesn’t need it. Jeep and Cadillac are trying too hard. I’ll stick to the OG Navigator!

What a beautiful vehicle. I would love to have one for myself, god willing.

Nice looking Navigator.

I have a 2012 Navigator Limited. This is beautiful, but I love my 5.4L V8. If Lincoln makes a Navi with a supercharged V8 ill be interested.

These are beautiful SUVs, what song is that at the beginning? I’ve been trying to find and can’t, it’s funny to see the green seats and stuff, glad to see Lincoln doing this, my fiancé would love this bc of New York

Did you not have your normal camera equipment with you? Seemed to be a lot of random choppy zooms during the interior section.

I've own a 2018 Limited QX-80, and love it. But after seeing the reviews of the Navigator. Thinking about switching over. Looked at most of the competition. Escalade, Waggoner, Lexus, Range Rover, and for the price, and what you get with the Lincoln. Definitely leaning toward it. The Escalade is nice, as id the Waggoner, and others but all have a higher price point. I've owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and had a lot of trouble with it. So the Waggoner is definitely not in the running. Especially for its price. Great review.

If you count the segment as only the Caddy and Jeep, this is the first to have a massaging second row and second to have a ventillated second row, but the GLS which is a genuine competitor for most has offered those features now for 2.5 years.

I guess 100k for a new vehicle is becoming normal now days, everything keeps going up except the hourly wages!!.

I see a missed opportunity here for the navigator: There’s no blue interior like the continental black label rhapsody theme. I freaking love that interior color and I wish this had it

Lol Sofyan …I see a new tshirt in your future! “Redline reviews now featuring Active Glide HANDS FREE!😈”

This is what luxury is supposed to be. No gigantic over abundance of screens. Horizontal dash with no weird contour lines. Tons of leather and chrome, luxury features and technologies. Easy to use interface and lots of physical controls. Giant storage space under the center console. It’s a great luxury vehicle. Wish it was a bit roomier like a Maybach or a Bentley, and wish there was no plastic on the doors and console, but otherwise they did just about everything right. Now they just need überluxury versions of their lineup to go against Rolls Royce.

Great video, you know your stuff. Where did you get the info that premium fuel is required?

Imagine complaining about not having soft closing doors and electronic door handles

STARTS at $76,000 !! I know I'm being an oldie, but I remember when I was around 13 yrs old, with my dad, lookie-louing at the Cadillac dealership, and being gobsmacked by the $7,000 price tags on moderately equipped DeVilles.

What's going on with the camera man??
