Lincoln Navigator Series

The 2018 Lincoln Navigator gets its first major upgrade, thanks to a new chassis and aluminum body panels.

Cosmetic updates have been made seven years into the Navigator's life.

Introduced in 2006 at the Chicago Auto Show, this model is the third generation of the full-size luxury Navigator sedan.

Based on the Ford U platform and introduced in 2003, the second generation of the Navigator is powered by a 5.4L V8 electronic injection Triton petrol engine rated at 305 HP and 365.1 pound-feet of torque. The full-size luxury sports utility vehicle, fitted with rear wheel drive and automatic, 4-speed transmission, benefited from tire-pressure monitoring, power-deployable running boards, power liftgate and power folding third row seat. The 2004 facelift incorporates a SOHC 5.4 L V8 3-valve engine and replaces the 4-speed transmission with a ZF 6-speed automatic transmission.

In production between 1998 and 2002, the first generation of the Navigator was initially powered by a 5.4 L Triton SOHC V8 petrol engine rated at 230 HP and 325.3 pound-feet torque. In 1999, this full-size luxury SUV received a 5.4 L InTech DOHC V8 petrol engine upping the performance to 305 HP and 354.8 pound-feet of torque. Based on the U platform from Ford, the Navigator incorporated a four-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
