Loving the new redesigned Lincoln Navigator. I have a 2022 Reserve Black with just 8,000 miles on it. Can't wait to add this 2025 to my fleet. I am all Lincoln!
Owned several in my Limo Service years. I had Escalades and Navigators, driving up mileage into the 150k, 200k, 250k+. The Escalades were powerful and could handle SO-CAL valleys.The Navigators, were the long run mileage haulers, but weren't quite as robust in the hill climbs. However, if comfort, elegance and mature styling is your game, than the Navigator is King of your mountain. But if New Money glitz and flash are your goal...Escalade!!!!
The only problem I have with American manufacturer vehicles 🚗 are reliability issues, after 25k miles defects appears. I have Audi, Honda and ford and ford was the most cheapest and most unreliable
@@alansariammar I don't know of ANY Limo Fleet owners that use them in Limo Service. Historically they're known as gas guzzlers. Also, the Wagoneer doesn't have that L'aire d"Elegance. It's been seen as a Country Squire look which doesn't appeal to the business crowd, nor the party/prom/date crowd. Also, being a Stellantis (the durability kiss of death car maker) product, most Limo companies want their rides without late night mechanical rescues, refunds for mech issues and embarrassment. I have yet to see one in service in Southern California yet. Not much help, sorry
@truthserum5310 , That's exactly how I'm paying for my choice, I've made excellent investments, I'm going to enjoy some of it soon. I just purchased my daughter a Loaded 2025 Chevy Equinox RS 3 weeks ago for College.
My wife and I can't wait for this! We recently purchased our first ever Ford... 23 Lightning XLT and absolutely LOVE IT! This thing is an absolute beauty! This dolphin-ish gray with the black rims looks SO good. Love the lack of chrome as well!
I have been a Lincoln guy for years, and my favorite was a 1981 Mark VI Givenchy Edition. (should've never sold it!) However, today's Lincolns with small displacement + turbo are no-go for me. If I'm spending $70k+, a powerful NA V8 is mandatory.
I do agree the fog lights are missing to give it that extra luxury umph also rear fog lights would be a good option espcially in luxury cars and trucks.
Great video, very informative and thorough as always. Appreciate the great work y’all do. Really digging the redesign Lincoln has done. Navigator a bit big for me, but I am taking a big look at the nautilus.
Raiti I play reviews of the Escalade and Navigator back to back. And Yes the 2025 Escalade is literally pure unfiltered luxury premium with that beautiful elongated Infotainment screen. The back seats look like a first class jet!!....BUTTTT...This Lincoln Navigator definitely has the 1 up🏆 Ford Lincoln literally created a interior that is in no other vehicle. I am woww'd. Exterior and Interior is thee best design of all car brands. And I will say this..The 2025 Cadillac is at a tie with it. It comes down to your liking. But WOWW LINCOLN ITS OVER FOR BENZ AND BMW AND AUDI...American Luxury is back🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Es un honor y un privilegio escribirte!, se que no entiendes lo que te he escrito, así como también no entiendo lo que hablas!, pero!!!, tú dinámica y gestos son más que suficiente para transmitir lo que quieres, soy tu fans desde Quisqueya la Bella (República Dominicana) Dios te bendiga siempre hermano! 🙏
Great auto show review, Joe! Looks like Lincoln has sleeked it up a bit, very nice! I will be interested to see all of the other colors and trim options that they bring to market.
Drove the QX80 last week. Waiting to see this and the 2025 Escalade. Have had a LWB Range Rover on order for a year. Contemplating skipping the RR for one of these. We need a second row bench and a third row. Really tough decision
@ 2025 LWB RR Really happy with the decision. It’s much larger than our 2017 SWB RR. In fact we are on our second road trip this weekend. Happy with the choice.
It's a twin-turbo V6 though & it gives you plenty of performance while giving you slightly better MPG than the GM V8s which helps when you factor in the fluctuating price of premium gas right now
This isn’t a muscle car. The TTV6 is quieter, more efficient, and vs the Escalade more powerful. Low NVH matters a lot more in a luxury car than a muscle car.
Why are SUV’s and cars getting rid of fog lamps in general? I have a navigator 2024 black label, not sure I liked the seat buttons to be removed from the door to the side of the driver and passenger seats. But the redesign is absolutely amazing for sure!!!!
Astronomical if you can't buy the individual panels and It all contributes to the increased disposability of these newer vehicles. I was able to buy the 8.8 inch sharp LCD panel for my 2017 BMW X3 from China and replace just it when it went bad a couple of years ago. Cost me $140 including shipping instead of $1200-3000 for a used/new computer at the time.
The Cadillac Escalade and Yukon Denali seats are top-tier you so I don’t know which vehicle you’ve been in but definitely not neither of these luxury SUV’s
I wish they would make our Lincoln Navigator app able to open up and view 360 video of live footage. We have the 360 camera why not allow us to view our navigator live. What use is it if it only alerts us that our doors have been yanked on if we can’t prepare ourselves if someone is actually doing so or have proof of footage someone doing so. Better yet have audio so we can let them know we are coming. Work on that app @Lincoln
A couple things that stick out for me, #1 I'm seeing a lot of plastic and cheap leather in that interior and it kinda feels like they dialed down the luxury #2 That screen is beautiful, but is it too far away from driver?
I like that split rear door. My big dogs would love jumping up onto that platform instead of clearing the bumper. Ok that doesn't actually matter but I do like it
Raiti!!! What's up, brother? I was there, I was waiting for you to finish recording to say whats up to you and your wife, but you left so fast. I was the guy setting up the palm trees and orchids at the lincoln display. Great job. I was going to tease you and say, being in Miami, you had to shout out some miami foods in your storage areas!!lol! It was disappointing GM didnt bring any 25' models like escalde, yukon, tahoe etc.. great job. Keep it up
Oh man! So sorry about that! Auto shows are very hectic especially this one since it is only a media half day! I hope next year we can say hello! I appreciate your support and I am also disappointed with what GM had there!
Going to need a Raiti cloth for that huge screen. I looked in the store didn't see any. That's a nice ride. A little too big for me though. I like crossovers. But I'll take one if I win the lottery or something.
I like the big radio knob to the left easily accessible and start/stop button on the console 👍Looks similar in size to a suburban, do they make a Tahoe sized navigator? Gotta test drive it and tell us how the engine is. ☝
Hey, listen to this wild thought I had! Picture this: a Twinkie, floating up in the clouds, and guess who's riding it like a boss? Joe! Can you imagine that?
Instead of building an outbuilding in the garden, I would like to park this Navigator there and use it as a gorgeous study room. I wish that in the back seat it has a folding table that we would see in the airplane so that I can put my laptop on it.
I own a current generation black label in the Chorma Crystal Blue with the yacht club theme interior which is my all time favorite. I don't think this new model is any improvement over the current model. It's built on the same chassis and even the side sheet metal is the same along the doors. The interior trim is not any better or nicer in fact I think it's a bit of a downgrade with the seat controls now move to the bottom of these seats. Additionally the new models are completely devoid of any chrome which takes away some of the bling effect and elegance. Functionally, this vehicle is no different than the previous model and offers no real improvement. The only real feature that is an improvement is the clamshell style tailgate. BMW has already been doing it for a few years so it's really not groundbreaking. To be honest I feel the outgoing model is more elegant and you would be smart to buy one of those before they are gone for good.
Even though the new Navigator has 48 inches of screen on the dash, I can't help but admit that it does somehow look like a comfortable place to be when compared to something like the interior of the BMW X7 or Mercedes GLS where the screens look as if they were just glued onto the dashboard or center console with no effort put into them being integrated well. I don't even know how else to explain it.
When I want to see a review on cars, nobody comes close to raiti rides… thanks for the video sir..
That is nicest thing to say!

If only they would offer the 5.0 in it.
You are not the first to say that!
Let's Go!
It's between 2025 Navigator and 2025 Escalade that will get my money next year.
It’s going to be a tough decision
Waste of money. Invest that 100K plus and watch it grow, not depreciate.
What about the Range Rover Sport SV...with a V8.

Oh man! That is really awesome of you Adrian! Always nect year brother!
Agreed Joe. Lincoln has laid the Smackdown on the Escalade 100%
Freaking beautiful. I still have room in my garage for one of these.
I will have Lincoln send it to you Omar!
That navigator still has room for my garage.....
@@teepee4531I see what you did there 😂
Great video and thank you 😊
You are so very welcome!
Speakers look amazing in that vehicle. 30 speakers 🔊! Holy cow 🔊
I know right!
Navigator =it's possible to make the front one gigantic grill 😂
I guess here in the States it’s still all about bigger issues better!
On technology, this puts the navigator at the top of the full-size SUV list for me. The 24 models was the Wagoneer.
That is so very true!
Is it just me or does the pre-refresh version & the current generation look better inside & out in some ways?
Raiti you really were stoked bout the entire walk around of the 2025 Lincoln Navigator .....I think you should own it🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏆🏆🏆
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real 👏 true and I love the video 👍 💯
We seriously can not do it without you!
Love the front end.

The V6 kills this. If GM can still have V8 engines I think Ford should not have eliminated them!
It's a twin-turbo V6 though & it gives you plenty of performance while giving you slightly better MPG than the GM V8s which helps when you factor in the fluctuating price of premium gas right now
It's for emissions regulations. Blame our government!
This isn’t a muscle car. The TTV6 is quieter, more efficient, and vs the Escalade more powerful. Low NVH matters a lot more in a luxury car than a muscle car.
@@The-fs5wnSometimes the paying luxury buyer wants to know he or she has a V8 under the hood regardless!

This navigator is the most beautiful it’s been ever. Which is unusual for automotive brands, usually the previous gen’s are better
OMGG.... What is the projected release date?
This coming spring
I'm over here waiting for them to through a 5.0 coyote in them. I have the 3.5 Navi and already having turbo issues. My 5.0 f150 has 0 issues.
Looks like a RAV4 from the back. I give this exterior design a 6/10.
I am not seeing it.
WRONG
I own a current generation black label in the Chorma Crystal Blue with the yacht club theme interior which is my all time favorite.
I don't think this new model is any improvement over the current model.
It's built on the same chassis and even the side sheet metal is the same along the doors.
The interior trim is not any better or nicer in fact I think it's a bit of a downgrade with the seat controls now move to the bottom of these seats.
Additionally the new models are completely devoid of any chrome which takes away some of the bling effect and elegance.
Functionally, this vehicle is no different than the previous model and offers no real improvement.
The only real feature that is an improvement is the clamshell style tailgate. BMW has already been doing it for a few years so it's really not groundbreaking.
To be honest I feel the outgoing model is more elegant and you would be smart to buy one of those before they are gone for good.
