The 2025 Lincoln Navigator is giving the 2025 Cadillac Escalade a Run for its Money! 

The color alone exudes elegance.

Ok, this is a gorgeous Navigator.

What a disaster that they didn’t give it a V8. I love everything else but what’s the point of a V6 that’s still inefficient..?

This is the best implementation of the Lincoln grille

I grew up with Lincolns but they seem more intent on matching the cost of other luxury cars than delivering quality and rational upkeep expenses. I took my car in for work and know the owner who had a Navigator next to my car. I asked about the car and he laughed noting that the repair on the front bumper resulting from a fairly minor accident was around $10,000. This was the second conversation I had about massive repair costs for seemingly minor repairs. I avoided Land Rovers due to this issue and will avoid Navigators for the same reason. Paying over $100,000 is bad enough.

The Lincoln Navigator has NEVER looked better! This is a home run! First time it's ever looked better than the Escalade. This is really REALLY NICE!

Maybe I'm just getting old but $100k plus for a Navigator or Escalade (both tarted up base model trucks that start around $40k) just seems ridiculous. And guys, put the PRNDL handle back on the steering column please. Your "creativity" has crossed the line.

Love it. I'm glad they tucked the rear wiper blade a way. That's one of the only reason I would not buy the Navigator it looked cheesy and cheap this looks very rich very classy well done Lincoln

Just make sure you trade it in after the warranty ends, all this amazing technology looks like money..

Finally did something to the back. Good improvement, just wish it was better. Make the back look good, slightly improve the sides, and this thing wins

Cops: Don't look at your phone while driving. Lincoln: watch a waterfall on a giant screen while driving 😊

this is nice but escalade has a supercharged v8 trim. O yea and 750 hp escalade ev. Lincoln need to come harder.

Such a elegant car. It is gorgeous, love the split tailgate.

Cadillac Escalade is the Standard for full size luxury SUV's. The facts substantiate that

Love the clam shell trunk door

Escalade does look better, but negligibly so, imo. Both are beautiful.

Wow, no split headlights. Thumbs up for that. Wish there was an option to disable that lightbar but keep the Lincoln logo illuminated, that would look really sick

The 2025 with the new grill/header design reminds me of gen 1 and early gen 3. I watched a different vid on this yesterday and said something similar in the comments. It dawned on me what it is that makes me think of gen 1 with the 2025 and it's those narrow, slightly angled, squinty headlights. I absolutely love that squinty I'm judging you/stinkeye look with those headlights on the Navigator and that big chrome Lincoln trademark grill in the center. When gen 2 made those headlights taller/wider and changed the angle and size of the grill it killed it for me. I'd take a gen 2 if I had never seen a gen 1 though. 😂 I adore my 99 4x4 (not a super common feature for 1st gen) Navigator and though it's so primitive with comfort options and interior design/options compared to this gen 5 it's still an awesome ride. 👍👍🥰🥰 Oh!! And OMG the tailgate on the gen 5 is great. My first 'SUV' was a 92 Blazer and I loved the tailgate. It was great as a seat/ a table, or to have down for hauling long stuff and it was something I really missed about the back end design on my Navigator. So nice to finally see that on the Navigator. I mean I get it, the liftgate is more elegant but sometimes functionality has to take presidence. Nice job.👍

Just another vehicle that will be worth half what you pay after three years.

Cadillac Escalade is straight OG of large luxury SUVS.

The only thing missing on the front of the new Navigator in my opinion is the driving lights or fog lights. I've always liked cars with fog lights or driving lights

You forgot the Nautilus dude!!

I love it. There's nothing not to like about it.

Y’all realize how suddenly NOBODY is complaining about 24-inch wheels being ridiculously stupid and how they make absolutely zero sense for any vehicle? When *gm* did it people had nothing but negative things to say. Ford does it and it looks great. 🤷🏽‍♂️

WTF? Rejuvenate mode? You gotta be kidding?!

Thank you for that great review! I definitely have to see this in person.

This truck will become an electrical nightmare.

We loved our '21 Aviator. Pros: unreal Revel audio, plenty of power, comfortable except the seat bottom bolsters were hard and hurt my leg on longer trips. Cons: body panels falling off, especially the b-piller trim. The transmission needed replacing at 9500 miles(the Navigator shares that same drivetrain), and I worried about the push-button door openers as only the driver's seat had a manual release in case of electrical failure. We rented a Navigator for a long trip and the seats are wider so I don't think that seat bolster will be an issue. If you buy one pay the money for that Revel audio, you won't regret it!

The more I see all this junk on new vehicles makes me want to resurrect an older car from the junkyard. These vehicles nowadays have no soul. The laws want us to not be distracted from driving yet all this crap and electronics in cars is more of a distraction than ever before. This world has gone crazy AF

The pushed back horizontal dash infotainment/instrument panel screen is no flush with the dash and placed in a way that will cause a distraction to the driver. That should not have left the design phase. On the contrary, the Cadillac Escalade did it beautifully.

It's the first time viewing your content, I like.. it's crisp, clear...right to the meat and potatoes🥳🎊🎉🍾

It should have a hybrid 5.0 V8 as the highest trim or small twin turbo coyote like Mercedes does

It's very nice but it should've had a supercharger in it..... a Shelby 500 motor would've been excellent...etc

Whoever Told You To Use The Eyeliner Need To Be Fired 🔥🔥ASAp.You Will Be Painting Your Nails Next Man

You should have never changed your marketing campaign with Matthew McConaughey to begin with🤷🏻‍♂️ glad he's back for your brand 👌🏼

24 speakers 🔊 and 24” inch wheels 😳 I want one 😂

Great video. Only 2 things that I didn't get to see were how to change the scent cartridges and if the opening mechanism for the rear window only is still the same as the 2024 Navigator (not the entire tailgate - just the window portion for putting groceries).

No V8 = loss. The Navigator needs a V8 to be competitive.

لماذا لا يحافظون على حجم السيارة وهيبتها بدل تصغير الحجم كل سنة أكثر وأكثر؟؟ حتى أصبحت بحجم افياتور و إكسبلورر !!!

Pass on some feedback. If you have to road trip, ask the designer to sit in all the seats and try to relax, where do your arms rest, how do you lean, can you prop yourself against anything? I know that shouldnt be main focus but almost all designs overlook it. Also, that big dash maybe consider snacking or eating. Again super overlooked behavior that cars see daily especially families on the go. Like a kitchen in a house is the highlight, what are the highlights for cars. Comfort and eating are big.

Friend has 2024 Navigator and has electrical issues. So they are in the process of lemon law litigation

Designers should be fired

Kinda makes me happy that I’m poor

The Escalade still looks more aggressive and lean overall

Cadillac has speakers in the headrest, tables in the rear passenger area and automatic close doors Thats going to give Cadillac the win Even the new QX80 has speakers in the headrests

Escalade is a better choice but I guess it’s a matter of opinion

Tire blow outs on those over pot holes are hilarious. Bent wheel and shredded tire.

I'm glad that this redesign turned out great, unlike whatever the GM engineers were thinking with their escelade refresh

I don't like the color but the vehicle itself is very beautiful and very well executed. Job well done Lincoln 💯

I like the symmetrical dashboard. I hope that will make it a lot easier for right-hand drive conversions to be done. Ford won't make an extended Everest so this will do.

@15:33 “Starting at $100,000”??? The 2024 model black label already starts at $111,000. I don’t think they’re going backwards on the prices.

The problem with this interior is that the Cadillac Escalade is even nicer.

Just saw a video for a F-150 King Ranch and it's seats are way more luxurious.

Love the new design. Happy 2019 owner here and the only two things I wish they changed on mine was all chrome on the exterior and all the gloss black on the interior. It’s a nightmare to keep clean. This new model addresses that!

I’m not in love with the dash, but the rest of the Navigator looks gorgeous!

That steering wheel is not very attractive. But I love those wheels.

Seats should be thicker - double.. remove the black plastic behind

THANKS FOR AN INSIGHTFUL & INFORMATIVE VIDEO REVIEW ON THIS STUNNING & DROP DEAD GORGEOUS 2025 Lincoln Navigator. Entertaining too, I loved it. You did a masterful professional review, quite honest in your explaining the pros & cons of this new version of the Navigator, I will buy one.

The problem with Lincoln and Ford is that they pack a lot of tech into their vehicles, but the software is poorly designed and it’s often riddled with bugs. I know personally from experience.

Yes yes yes!! Display pillar to pillar is amazing!!!

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR. I LOVE IT. NICE VIDEO.

It’s an exact copy from the Nautilus. Nautilus and Navigator have always had similar design characteristics, while the Corsair and Aviator have always looked similar to each other.

With the exception of the display screen, Lincoln really dailed back the fanciness of the current Navigator. This feels very plain jane.

my dog will be clicking that moonroof button like nothing else

The 2025 Lincoln Navigator is NOT giving the 2025 Cadillac Escalade a run for it's money.

No v8 = no interest for me. I am a Ford stockholder and collector. Big disappointment

This is very sexy, the Escalade is bolder, and the new QX80 is right in the middle.

That is one epically gorgeous Navigator!! What color is that?!!!! That 48" screen is also gorgeous!!!! I'm absolutely impressed!!!!!

FINALLY...they hid that gawd awful rear window wiper! Like all the other Navigator designs, I don't like the high-ish dashboard design that limits your view of the hood and front end. The Escalade gives you a commanding view of both where this really doesn't.

The Escalade looks better in my opinion but this comes in at a close second

Well its about time Lincoln Navigator start stepping up its game. Let just hope Ford can figure out how to manage their transmission issues they normally have.

Well…you started off good then you made a remark about the elephant in the room…cheap shot because the New Escalade’s grill is killer. I didn’t expect you to be so Lincoln bias, I thought you were just a guy with a better voice talking about the car. They ripped off the Range Rover’s design. I want to assume you’re a car guy and you should know the Escalade is riding on 24” wheels also. That new info screen on the dash is nice, but the Escalade has on too!!! A whole 55” screen compared to the Navigator’s 48” and the Escalade is the sales leader over every manufacturer!!! Oh, I forgot to mention the BMW rear tailgate. Is there anything original to Ford or Lincoln in the new Navigator?

Why would you show an older model Escalade as a comparison?

I wonder .... if your dog is in the car... and it walks on the drive, reverse, or natural buttons...😮

Do more auto vehicles they are great I follow along of the biggest car enthusiasts and your video was awesome thank you

The escalade is still better

An ICE vehicle hitting $100K is a gamble with so many EVs in that range with equal dressing that have more power, way cheaper to operate without gas and maintenance reduced to wiper fluid and tires.

Front is beautiful...back is meh!

What color is that?

First question: how bad are the crash test going to be?because NHTSA just tested the navigator and the results were possibly fatal.

Kinda looks like a range rover😮

Great review - good job. You made me want to buy one

Those wheels are ridiculous. Looks like they cloned a Hot Wheel.

Excursion with a 460 gas engine and steel bumpers and a 12 thousand towing capacity is better

no night vision camera and no built in fridge .........I`ll take the Caddy !!!

It’s pink!

So your kids can just move your front seats at will from the back? I remember my parents Ford Aerostar had rear radio controls and eventually my dad had to disconnect it.

The fronts OK, but overall, it's very ugly I'm sticking with the Escalade

Really hate those button .

I wish they left the seat controls on the door

Buttons are better than screens

Not a fan of this Navigator, I personally would much rather have the refreshed Escalade, it looks a whole lot better inside and out.

The Lincoln MKT was first with the slope roof for Lincoln. I loved it and replaced it with the Aviator!

That color looks like melted and slightly mixed Neapolitan ice cream 😬. Love the overall design and interior though!

Wow, the JETSONS on ground. Wish I were 30 years younger and tech wise, (and still making $$$$).

What is the color called? Love it

No the caddy started that trend not the Lincoln and you car guys knows it. But what can you expect from a guy with a ford shirt on. Btw the wheels ans screen is hideous af

Dam that is fugley! Is the casket in the boot?

It’s the 2024 Nautilus , not the Aviator, that the 2025 Navigator the resembles , both the Exterior and the Interior.

ESCALADE STILL THE KING
