- The Navigator has been a top seller from Lincoln for years. Now there is more competition with the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Infiniti QX80, GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate and Cadillac Escalade. On the outside you will find a black grill, optional wheels and full LED lightning. On the inside there have been recent changes made to the seats, infotainment and digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 that is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Lincoln Navigator a BETTER new luxury SUV than a Cadillac Escalade?

This Lincoln is a masterpiece. It looks really really good and drives great too.
This is so true Omar!
I still have my Lincoln Navigator and we take it across the country each year for vacation. I have rented plenty of new vehicles and nothing compares to the navigator. It drive’s amazing, the entertainment system is mind blowing especially the surround sound, and the comfort level will make any 13 hour trip seem like a breeze! We even had tons of stuff packed on top, and it still drive like a champ, we took turns sleeping in the third row, which is a complete luxurious third row, where your knees won’t hit your chin……. Full size…… I dk but my 3 kids 2 being babies didn’t even cry at all in this vehicle……
And don’t forget the amount of power in this thing! Some say it’s like a dinosaur bc it’s slow…… and I’m like what? This thing climbs steep hills like nothing, it’s got power like a truck, and I’m
Not going to cry if it doesn’t go to 100mph in 20 seconds…… this thing has survived all weather when jeeps were sliding all over the place and new cars….. nope not this thing! It climbed the snowy hill like it was child’s play!
My oldest navigator is almost 20 years old, and it has outlasted my friends Chevy, my moms Jeep and many others. I won’t get rid of it even tho it’s got 200k plus miles, it has no rust, and I’m not getting rid of it. (Rocker panels are starting to rust)
This year we said it’s time for a new vehicle and we are getting a new navigator. I hope it looks like the thumbnail for a 2024, bc I don’t really like the latest model.
I had an Escalade and I don’t like gmc or Chevy. They are cheap on the inside and are way too much money. Navigator is the best and anyone that knows vehicles will agree. Lincoln and ford do not disappoint when it comes to the cabins, where Chevy is laughable. My friends suburban is something I was never jealous of….. cheap plastic, transmission went out around 115k miles, and her blazer had electronic issues and eventually it wouldn’t run….. no thank you! I’ve had jeeps same with my mother, plenty of models, and so many stupid things go wrong like the windows won’t go up, heat stops working, etc….. not the navigator!!
My fiancé is a mechanic and can fix anything, he also worked for a construction company and he said chevy trucks are a gimmick. They break. His company switched to fords and never had an issue since…. He does like a dodge for a truck tho.
But yeah for our family and my fiancé which is an expert, we only buy fords or some foreign vehicles. The only Chevy I would get is a gmc Yukon. But I had an Escalade for years and hated it.
Agree 💯 with you. We've had 3 Navigators. There's just no comparison to the comfort and beauty of it. I have 4 kids, teenagers. The Navigator has taken us to many states for soccer tournaments. A Navigator NEVER disappoints.❤.
We have had 2 Chevy vehicles and inside parts were indeed very cheap!
Sorry if you don't mind I have a Question my family is actually Deciding to get an SUV which is like a 7 seater do you think the Lincoln Navigator is worth it because we need a Family SUV and we just hope that Reliability isn't an Issue in a Lincoln...
I'm digging the 2 tone paint job on this one. Makes it stand out well. Cant go wrong with black and white on any car. Both those colors go hand in hand
I like the way that you think Matt!
I've always done things differently, so yes, I'll take this Navigator over any Escalade, Suburban or Expedition in a heart beat. It looks more premium, more exclusive and luxurious. Great job Lincoln...
Small trunk. Fails.
@@radiohead2206 Get the L version. Bigger cargo area.
@@radiohead2206 Do you need to carry 7 passengers always? If not, the automated seats turn it into an enormous trunk. It's not a fail when you realize the 7 seats are there, but most probably won't need that or they'd get the L version.
@@radiohead2206any 3rd row vehicle has small trunk space. I’ve looked at them all.
this is yout "premium" 13:59
when you say "premium" it means you are a victim, without knowledge,
*premium* and *audiophile* is the same thing to cheat zombies.
Thanks Joe. After watching your reviews and comparisons of the big three, the Navigator, Escalade, and the Wagoneer I picked up a new Wagoneer with the series three option last week. The Wagoneer seems larger on the inside, floaty controlled ride, material build quality is above the rest, unlimited entertainment features, rear seating is mind-boggling.
Both are incredibly well designed and beautiful with layouts and all. I might have to go with the Cadillac more on this one.
This is so very true!
You smoking something.
Don't be fool , Elon Musk will tell you Ford is right behind him.
GM doesn't have sh%% to offer.
Why would you pay for a vehicle that cost a little more but don't offer you sh%&??
Gm has a big a& 9.8 liter motor sitting under that hood pushing out a weak a& 349 🐎 power, drinking gas like the neighborhood drunk drinking whiskey getting a measly 14 miles to the gallon, motor crapping out around 170k miles, electric problems, and outdated cheap materials.
Why bro??
Did you got drop on your head as a baby?? I'm asking this because I see too many grown people acting like something wrong with their brains.
How about asking some of these people in the threads that's owners of these Lincolns, or read the comments. These people don't all just love these Lincolns because they're fans, they love these Lincolns because they're not fools.
It's nothing.... ITS NOTHING out there being produce at the moment is better than a Lincoln suv, not even Rolls Royce or Bentley. They're handcrafted and special but Lincoln is ahead of them. Ask Elon Musk, he'll tell you the same
I'm a GM guy but this is a nice ride! Great review as always, Joe & Steven.
I baby my cars & my Lincoln left me stranded yrs ago, transmission fail @ 33,000 miles. Bought an SRX Cadillac & now an XT5 premium luxury & love it & no problems.
Damn .... the mid row then the third row is super comfortable. Nice job Lincoln
So in this line up and design I like the clean no exhaust looking back. I would rather that than the fake exhaust or vacuum looking exhaust! Great review as always!
Thanks for this review. The camera angles and your narrative makes you feel you are in the vehicle. And of course that vehicle is 🔥.
I test drove one while I was waiting for my MKZ to get serviced. Incredibly comfortable and a fantastic ride. Not an over the top design either.
I love this guy ! Best car presenter ever, I am not rolling with any other 👏🏻
I just realized that Raiti reminds me of Joey.(Joey Tribianni from "Friends") If Joey was doing car reviews, first thing he would check would be places to carry sandwiches and pizzas in cars and SUVs. 😍
Thanks for saying that! I think you ate so very right!
I’m driving my fourth Navigator. The latest is a 2020. Just love it.
Lincoln over Cadillac... Lincoln is a true luxury brand
JJ ~ I love Lincoln, my late Uncle was a Lincoln Man, he had the newest baddest fully loaded Continentals. it's WAY better than the GMC Caddy Sport. the market is simply saturated with too many different SUV's. I love when you're in the 3rd row & you say I just wanna sit back & chill (reclining seats) ya recline a fifth of a centimeter heeeheeeheee just razin' ya brother, you always bring the good stuff to YT, tony
I so glad I could hit the nail on the head with this one with you!
One thing that I am surprised that more suv makers aren't doing that they should for rear passenger monitors is adding bluetooth ear or headphone capability.
That vehicle is a masterpiece. The cadilac looks like a big square box with wheels. Beautiful color.
I’m so glad that you are all about this one.
Great review as always!
🇺🇸 *Beautiful NEW Navigator* !! *LOVE the contrasting color combo inside and out* !! *FAB video Joe and Steven* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸
I like how Raiti goes into detail about the car's exterior styling
Me too, its what sets him apart..
I think this Lincoln absolutely beautiful If I were to buy one that's the spec and color I would get but I do agree with you on the rear wiper I don't understand why they don't put it at the top of the lift gate I think it would look so much better and I also think they have the perfect balance for of chrome and black trim
Thank you Joe. I rarely see any Lincoln vehicles on UA-cam. I am impressed when compared with the Escalade.
Thanks Michael! I really appreciate you!
Great camera work Steven flood and awesome review Joe;although my particular setup would be the black label in Chroma Caviar Dark Gray Metallic with the black accent package. I was going to go blacked out but it didn’t allow me so dark gray it is. 😊😊😊😊
From my standpoint, Lincoln navigator in town called the best riding luxury cars you can get in plus the navigator has way more power and faster than the Escalade but one thing joe you didn’t mention is they drive by itself assist right on the steering wheel
Great review Joe. This Navigator is a beauty! Love the interior. Love the massage function. Not sure if I’d spend the extra cash on the Black Label. The Reserve trim would probably be enough for me. Thanks for bringing it to us.
My brother and I went to the Cleveland Auto Show. And we went to the door panels. We looked at how many twinkies could fit. We also checked spaces for class rings and how many balls we could protect. We definitely zonked some rear wipers and non functional styling up front. I also set up youtube to play your channel in one car.. my brother quizzed me on some of the prices. he accused me of reading the sticker first. I said hey I've learned from Raiti's Rides. Lol.
I had the luxurious blessing of riding in this today via Lyfts VIP vehicle option and I was BLOWN AWAY 🤯!!! I literally and I mean literally felt like the freaking president or Queen of England riding in the 2nd row seat and it was very sunny and hot outside today and the lighting was PERFECT it had black shields/curtains pulled up on the back windows to block out the sun and super cool air conditioning!!! It was totally worth the ride! Very smooth ride and felt like a limousine 10.0 inside and looked SUPER professional, posh, exotic and I thought this vehicle was worth $200K! That’s how good it looked, felt and rode!
Great review too 😎 love KFC also 🍗
I’ve owned 2005 Lincoln Navigator in the past…. I sold it in 2013. Over the past 9 years or so I owned different non luxury SUVs and they were all nice. When the redesigned 2018 or 2018 Navigator came out I got excited and was planning to buy one then that new Escalade 21+ model dropped…… I bought it!!! I absolutely love my 21 Escalade Platinum ESV…. Ouuuu it’s nice.. I got the sport white with black onyx package too! I’m in love with it lol…
Sounds nice, I have its little brother an XT5 premium. Plenty big for me I'm single, just put new chrome 20" wheels on it,,can't stop looking @ it!!!
@@richardmorris7063until I pull up next to you in my black on black, black label Continental, sitting on 22” staggered custom Forgiato’s and you realize…you did it all wrong. 🤔
Hostess should be giving you a spiff on all the twinkie references. Love it.
Man How do I wish!
I’m digging the all new reinvented navigator but the back wiper not diggin it needs to be tuck in also the interior so phenomenal
I agree with you 100%!
@@RaitisRides I don’t understand y won’t Lincoln tuck it in
I've been waiting for this one Joe! Thanks for always making it happen. I'm guessing live q and A us next month since tomorrow is last day of Feb?
Hey Chris! We are going to have the next one on March 14th. This month travel wise has been so crazy.
@@RaitisRides Sounds great Joe! Just marked my calendar!
@@chrisgelo1425 sweet I can’t wait bro! Now that you’ve seen this navigator tracked down, you thinking of buying it?
@Redeye Who Dominates The Drag Strip Oh bro honestly, I just like to dream of it! One day......one day.....I got to work on getting a good career first, amd if I could buy I definitely would!!!
@Redeye Who Dominates The Drag Strip What do u do for a living bro? If you would be able to buy it would ya?
Nice Lincoln Navegator Black Label you know you're doing good when you're the Apostle to the luxury SUV's.
Great job. Very entertaining.
Lincoln navigator been the king of SUVs since day one
Hey Joe , thank you for the video it’s a beautiful SUV. Any word from Lincoln if and when they will put a hybrid engine in it such as the powerboost engine??,Like in the F-150 ,considering that the F-150 , Expedition and Navigator are all built on the same frame?
Probably when they redesign the Navigator in 2025 or 2026
I gave you a video a thumbs up keep doing your thing on UA-cam❤
You can fit a bucket of KFC chicken inside the arm rest....im sold 😂
Now we are talking!
New viewer here. This is going to help with my next purchase. Absolutely loved your review! Subbed
Thank you
I like this. This is the smaller version not the L. I like the brief history you did at the beginning. I remember reading in Car and Driver that the Cadillac Escalade is the vehicle GM said they would never build because they felt there was no US market for full size Luxury SUV. They could not have been more wrong. Ford/Lincoln said hold my beer. Then the race was on.
Fire!! Was never a Ford brand fan, but I'm on board with this!! Great review!!
Been waiting for a video on this
How do you disable the touch middle console because my kids love to mess around with them and change the stations constantly
Love your reviews
I might prefer these seats to the ones in my '21 Escalade Sport (it's ergonomics aren't perfect for me) but the V8 sounds so much better, it's worth the trade-off.
Ikr, I have an XT5 I love but those Lincoln seats do look premium..
The Navigator has the Ford Raptor setup, it’s plenty quick to be honest
No black wheels for me, not on a luxury vehicle. I just got 20" chrome for my Cad XT5 & they sparkle. Mine isn't in comparison to this monster though ,apples & oranges! For me I like Lincoln interiors but exterior & motor is all Cadillac. Mine has the V6,310 hp & surprisingly quick. Almost a million subs Joe,,here's one more for ya!
It’s was the twinkies and jolly rancher comments that made me realize. “This is a man I’ll listen to. He just gets it.” Sold.
Thanks Ashley! I really appreciate you tuning in.
When did Lincoln come out with this body style and when will they replace it based on historical data? What’s the refresh you were talking about in the beginning of your video? I tried to Google it but the only answer I received was they got rid of the Flight blue from 2022
Steve's camera skills are exceptional 🤸🏼🤸🏼🤸🏼
I’m really impressed with this beautiful SUV. As far as luxury is conceredn this throttles the Escalade. Cadillac who?! Nice work Lincoln!
Looks extremely comfy inside 🙂
Love all your references to food and storage.
Omg those seats look amazing
This will be my first Lincoln SUV now Joe.
Sounds like a plan Jeremiah!
Best looking suv in the lincoln lineup
I think you are so very right!
Merci pour ces vidéos qui sont très bien fait et don je suis un abonné .
En 2020 j’avais commandé un Cadillac Escalade de nouvelle génération, mais lorsque je suis aller au salon de l’auto et que je me suis assis dans un Lincoln Navigator j’ai été envouté. J’ai annulé la commande Cadillac et j’ai commandé le Navigator noir monochrome.. incroyable ce camion … confort, remorquage, système de son 🫶. Continuez votre beau travail 👍🏻
I love both of this sqb and Lincoln look very nice and classic the space it a plus I love the. Black and white.
Good content.
After watching the GMC Denali Ultimate video I think I would take this Black Label over it. But like others stated, I’m still taking the Escalade over both.
The Lincoln Navigator it’s very nice and luxurious! 30 way adjustable seats adjustable seats. It’s a lot of adjustability for both driver and passenger.
Love me those navigators I want one of these new body styles so bad
Keyword it's been a classy ride ❤
It's really nice and a lot of features and luxury like the caddy but it just needs that big v8 rumble when you crank that big truck up
Does the navigator comes with air suspension?
Thanks Joe nice looking ride and I think the Navigator is one of the top high end Full Size SUV's but I don't think its number one.
Grand Wagoneer just smashes this, IMO. I’m picking up my “used” GW with 72 miles tomorrow morning and am pumped. Grabbed it for $20k under MSRP at $94k sticker. The I6 is an absolute unit and allows to GW to keep up with an Audi S5 to 60.
For 74K thats a great price for a grand wagoneer, congrats 🎉🍾
@@chef7209 I wish lol. It was $94k after the reduction. Was $114k! Should have been more clear.
You stupid as Cuck , you know good n well you can't compare a Jeep to this thang, get your silly && off the internet
@@josephquinto5812 yeah man and i like the wagoneer much more especially that the navigator interior looks so outdated like the 2015 model, the wagoneer interior is a yacht actually
That’s the only way to buy a Jeep, $20k off MSRP. Have you checked the forums? Plenty of people having issues with their wagons.
CLASSY......USA.........thanks Joe and Steven.
I went Yukon Denali, but I really like the Navigator’s seats.
I'm going to buy me a 2023 Lincoln navigator Black label two-tone just like that I love the way everything is bright white creme in the inside I'm definitely going to buy that today🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Did you buy one ?
Joe, you're a legend 😅
💯💯💯📈954k i wanna see you grow on your channel
this is not for me.
I can't install a Pioneer car audio sys, subwoofer, (0o)! the last window does not open, :(
What dealer is this located at? Is it still available?
This is my opinion, but I love Escalade more because it has a more cleaner look and the navigator, looks really boxy
Raiti bro man dude I asked u about that hole in the door of a lexus, and now I see it on here too 🤣 probably some vent or something anyway it's 11 o'clock from the door speaker when u open the door 8:19 in the video 😆😆
I like the body style of the escalade the best
Me too, but the interior on the Navigator I think is nicer. The seats are far more comfortable than the Escalade.
It definitely looks good wow
One of my favorite SUVs from the Lincoln lineup IMO.
It is their #1 seller at Lincoln.
I’ve never been a fan of Lincoln but this is pretty nice
If this had a tan interior this would be god send
I’m surprised the Navigator is faster than the Escalade( Non V of course) but then again, that is a derivative of the engine from the Lemans winning Ford GT so it is a world class engine even if it is a 6 cylinder. This is a super impressive machine. The Lincoln and Escalade are def top 2. I was disappointed with the Grand Wagoneer, I had hoped it would be more aesthetically pleasing. It has super vanilla styling unfortunately but the American full size luxury SUV game is in good hands with this Navi and the Escalade leading the charge both with their own class leading specifications
Its bragging rights I guess but were talking luxury vehicles,0-60 times are not that important,, are they? I have 310 hp. @4000 lbs in my Cad XT5 & its plenty fast & torquey. I passed a semi last week & as a Corvette owner I was surprised.
14:08 whoa whoaaaa...tread carefully there 😅
Is the leather with the white black or a tone of brown?
I love this car. But something about the plastic on the 2 front seats (the black) really disturbs me. I have a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. It’s my first car but I have to start looking for a new car in a year from now. The Corsair is one of my options. But idk Lincoln is for sure different than the other brands and I don’t know how..
It is injection molding, and I’d rather have my kids kick that than leather.
These seats and price but that Escalade v engine/exhaust is obnoxious in like the best way
Nice video👍
The Navigator is a competent luxury SUV but the 2022 USA sales figures tell the tale: Escalade 40,247 Navigator 13, 206. That kind of sales dominance, 3x as many Escalades and a 52% market share, is not because the Escalade and Navigator are about the same, it's because the Escalade is far better.
Joe, Lori, this one ("is bringing the business) wooow!!.... it almost has everything i would want, i agree that manufacturers has to send more love to the 3rd row with control of their part of the panoramic sunroof, all media access including those beautiful screens in the midrow, i would add another 15k of options to finish the pkg for my liking
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PUT THAT UGLY REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER ON THAT BEAUTIFUL GLASS!! as Joe says (tuck it up top under that beautiful spoiler that should be there)
Best third row I've ever seen in a SUV
Sweet ride I wonder how many they'll be able to sell with ~$2k/month payments lol
Somethin tells me they will sell out! It’s amazing the $ some folks have. $100k is the new $50k it seems! Not for me of course but folks got deep pockets out there
I understand the Navigator deserves it's respect but next to the Escalade curb appeal it's slightly dated. Lol and the over usage of chrome is semi 2002 rap video. Wouldn't be surprised if those weren't spinning rims 😂😂. Once again Joe delivered an honest review, Great work Raiti's Ride 🤣🤣 gotta get these kids to school "ON THROTTLE!" Also, I would definitely go with the Grand Wagoneer L for that Hurricane V6🔥🔥🔥 and nicer/roomier interior VS this.
Pure elegance
I have the "pre-owned 2020 202A Aviator.
Thanks to you and your review's, you had helped me choose a great ride.
Thanks 💯 😊
This dude is permanent-childhood-memory infomercial level good. Shamwow slapchop oxyclean vibe😂 A+
Escalades are dime a dozen. Give me this Beauty right here. The Escalade is performance, the Navigator is pure luxury. Especially the Black Label. Beautiful American luxury
The Navigator had fallen off so far I thought they were going to discontinue it. They didn't make any good changes for a decade. Now... it's arguably the best lux SUV.
It’s the best looking vehicle in its class. Inside and out. Everything else is personal preference. But it’s looks are undeniably top of class.
Its all personal preference, I like a 3 yr old Escalade. For me that never gets old, on the short WB model!
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 Lincoln Aviator Reserve
I will get that together for you.
I second this but instead of Reserve Black Label
@@RaitisRides Thank You Man
Ebony and Ivory, together in perfect harmony. Per M. Jackson and Sir Paul McCartney! Very nice boat! I’ll take it!❤
You nailed ity!
What power plant does it have?
My favorite Lincoln SUV I wanted to buy one.
Close friend of the family has this and we love riding in it! Only thing I wish they would do is make the key fob a little more luxury like. They shouldn't do the same key fob that they make for all the ford's. Looks too tacky for a 105k super luxury SUV.
