Explore this guide for a complete overview of the 2024 Lincoln Navigator, including its top-rated performance, design, technology, and safety.
2024 Lincoln Navigator Overview
The 2024 Lincoln Navigator exudes style and luxury while continuing to be a competent full-size SUV. New in 2024, four-wheel drive now comes standard across the Navigator lineup. With this system, the truck-based SUV maintains a firm grip on the road, regardless of the terrain or the weather.
The 2024 Navigator will turn heads on the Southern California roadways. This SUV has a commanding presence, complemented by its sleek lines and modern style. When approaching the Navigator, the front and rear running lights perform an animated sequence, and the side mirrors create a glow on the ground, welcoming passengers to step inside. Once there, everyone will enjoy a spacious interior with dozens of creature comforts, such as tri-zone climate control and available massaging seats for the front and second rows.
Performance and Fuel Economy
Every 2024 Navigator comes powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine, pumping out an incredible 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth handling that balances its power. It also features five selectable driving modes, plus an available slow climb mode, as part of a trailer tow package. This package also includes trailer reverse guidance, providing five camera perspectives to help when towing a trailer or boat. When properly equipped, the Navigator can tow up to 8,300 pounds.
The EPA hasn't released its fuel economy estimates for the 2024 Navigator yet, but they should be similar to the outgoing version. Current four-wheel-drive versions achieve 22 mpg highway and 16 mpg city. That's similar to other full-size SUVs with four-wheel drive.
Specs and Design
The Lincoln Navigator has an iconic style — everyone knows one when they see one. The SUV features Lincoln's signature lighting, with adaptive projector headlights in the front for additional illumination. This innovative lighting continues in the back with 3D taillights wrapped around the tailgate. Other thoughtful touches, such as heated automatic side-folding mirrors and a power liftgate, complete the Navigator's impressive exterior design.
But its style doesn't stop there. Premium materials, such as genuine wood accents, inside the SUV give the cabin an elevated look. Soft-touch seats come standard, while most trims feature buttery-soft leather seating surfaces. A piano key shifter maximizes space in the center console. For the driver, a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel features audio controls, so their hands never have to leave the wheel. Other standard interior features in the 2024 Navigator include the following:
- Ambient lighting.
- Auto-dimming rearview mirror.
- Lockable glove compartment.
- Coat hooks in the second and third rows.
- Rain-sensing front wipers.
- Remote start.
Technology Used
Besides its style and power, the new Navigator also impresses with its state-of-the-art technology. In the center console, a 13.2-inch LCD touch screen provides access to settings, apps, and entertainment. It has a swipe capability to quickly access different features, such as navigation or seat settings. The screen also integrates with the latest SYNC 4 technology, featuring enhanced voice recognition for hands-free driving. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow passengers to use their phone apps, such as music or podcasts.
Standard wireless charging keeps the phone battery full, even on long road trips. There are also multiple USB ports in all three rows of the Navigator. A 14-speaker audio system comes standard, or there's the option of a premium 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system, which comes with three listening modes. Once a driver has all the technology settings adjusted precisely how they want them, they can program a unique personal profile. As they approach the SUV, it'll automatically implement their preferred settings without pressing a single button.
Comfort
The Lincoln Navigator offers numerous features to make every ride more comfortable. The SUV seats seven to eight passengers in three rows. There's no such thing as a bad seat since third-row passengers get an impressive 40.9 inches of legroom. In the second row, that increases to 42.3 inches. Both rows also fold flat when there's a need for more space to transport cargo. Navigators with a longer wheelbase have a maximum cargo capacity of 120.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
In the front row, 10-way power-adjustable seats feature power-lumbar support for ultimate comfort, especially on long drives. Available 30-way front seats have power thigh extenders and head restraints for additional support. Standard heated and ventilated seats in the first and second rows keep the driver and passengers comfortable, even on hot California days. No matter where someone sits in the 2024 Navigator, they're guaranteed to have a relaxed, enjoyable ride.
Safety Features
New for 2024, the base Navigator now comes with the option of Lincoln BlueCruise technology. This innovative feature, standard on all other trims, allows hands-free driving on over 130,000 miles of compatible roads in North America. The system will accelerate, brake, and steer as long as the driver pays attention and stays focused on the road. It's one of the many standard or available driver-assistance features in the 2024 Navigator. Other safety technologies include the following:
- Pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking.

- Reverse brake assist.
