Happy Thursday everyone! We had a chance to see the new Navigator in person earlier this week and right now we are heading to Monterey Car Week in Pebble Beach for the weekend to film lots of new car content! Stay tuned! 😊
Why does a luxury car not have a height adjustment system and has normal assistance? Infiniti QX 80, its new generation, has a height adjustment system and wind assistance, the only luxury car in the world that does not have such a suspension system and does not have a paddle shifter.
One of the main advantages of a split tailgate on a large car is that the hatch doesn’t stick out ridiculously far when it’s open. Overall I’m really liking these updates. My only criticism with the Navigator (and Expedition) is that they’re too slab sided. Flare the fenders, give it a stronger crease… something.
Agreed. Also, for a redesign that was long overdue - this looks like lots of afterthoughts. Disappointing that it just looks like a rental from the side and a weird wagoneer from the front + the rear of an EV Kia.
Good observation and I completely agree on the body lines/exterior. The split tailgate is fantastic on a full size SUV. It’s a little surprising that it took the big 3 (Ford, Chevy/GMC, Ram) this long to implement one but a welcome change for sure.
They almost got it perfect - the black line down the front door is too much IMO and the overall size is just way larger than it should be. Excursion might look small next to these newer full size XXXL SUVs
@@tonywong303 If the Escalade didn’t exist this interior would be impressive. But because we’ve seen how it’s been executed in the Cadillac, this interior just looks crazy and thrown together over a Zoom meeting. Beautiful materials that will compare nicely but their integration and placement of screens, buttons/controls and switches are off. Exterior rear looks like a watered down Escalade _IQ._
I wish they did the Continental door handles like they did on the new Nautilus. I feel that would be a great thing for Lincoln to have as their signature feature for all their vehicles.
It looks gorgeous. I really wish Lincoln didn't discontinue the Continental. Would be so amazing to get a new generation Continental on a RWD platform and with this kind of styling.
Also, I agree with you. Lincoln needs a new key fob, especially for its black label trim vehicle. They should do what Volvo has done and have the key match the interior.
the whole full size SUV crowd is doing an amazing job with these refreshes. Cadillac's escalade and now Lincoln's Navigator (and even the import crowd with the LX and QX80) are all getting refreshes that tone down gaudiness/chrome everywhere vibe and replaces it with a more subtle luxury aim designs.
@@johnkraft6053per the video he says it can help stop things from falling out and it can double as a seat when tailgating. I’m not a fan. I don’t have issues with stuff falling out often enough 💁🏽♂️
@@chill-pill923 tragically, yes. There was just a shooting at my Alma mata and I’m still in shock to be honest. I just moved back to Winder and was out getting tires put on my car when the owner of the shop who barely speaks English with a heavy accent was trying to tell me there were cops flying past his shop a few mins before I arrived heading towards the school. There’s only one high school? Middle school, and elementary school in the area and they’re all there together. My phone was dead and i didn’t understand what was really happening at the time, wasn’t until i got home that i realized what was going on down the street from me. This is absolutely insane.
I love the luxury-minimalist look, it's hard to achieve but Lincoln made it! I also like the lack of cluttered button-dashboard thing, to me a good high quality screen with good graphics is the best thing
Hopefully farley is taking quality seriously like he said previously. Cost cutting may show a good quarterly sales figure, but people won't buy again when their transmission blows at 60k.
This thing looks absolutely crazy. I think it'll probably grow on me. The new Nautilus looks amazing in person, Im sure the same will be true of this... Split tailgate's a cool addition, but sucks if youre short lol. Good luck reaching anything more than a foot into the trunk with the bottom section open.
that rear turn signal is throwing me off. it looks like two signals pasted onto one car. the shape, the fact that they aren't in sync, they aren't both sequential, it's just really ruining the rear end for me. am i being dramatic???
@@Tbcycoji ... potentially they can. But some automakers are going apesh*t with their designs. Right now, they remind me of kids with a new toy and everyone is trying to be "edgy" and different. Eventually, I think they'll settle down (hopefully). When they start thinking things through, I think we might see some pretty amazing designs.
Lincoln/Ford THANKFULLY has been doing Amber turn signals for a while now. For the Navigator, Lincoln started using Amber with the introduction of the 2015 model. I loathe red-colored turn signals and appreciate manufacturers that go the extra mile and put a turn signal that’s independent of the brake light. ❤
I really like how you explain that you took your time it wasn’t rushed and I got a chance to see just by everything I wanted to see in the Lincoln navigator sexy automobile. I’ll tell you thank you
Looks good from the front and side. They dropped the ball on the rear. I can still see the GM triplets still out selling this, especially the Escalade.
@@jonathanlopez9494 I agree. We used to have the MKT, the Flex's sibling, and LOVED the fridge in the middle row. It was a lifesaver, and I'm shocked more cars don't offer it.
Can't wait to see this Duke it out with the New escalade. The only detractor is that i wish they gave it the flush door handles like the nautilus and continental.
Honestly, every SUV should have a split tailgate. Ever since trading my 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander, I’ve missed it dearly. Such a useful feature! Great for organizing things before putting in the trunk or keeping things from rolling out when first opening the tailgate
@@Aki_Lesbrinco another jealous clown and there’s nothing wasteful about a comfortable vehicle. What exactly is being wasted? There’s enough crude oil for 5000 more years so come up with a better excuse.
This is nice but I'm towards more the new escalade, lincoln did came out with the luxury big size SUV first but when escalade came out it's been on top, especially the executive trim
Absolutely gorgeous SUV! Still wish they had an optional V8 like the GM competitors. I’m really surprised that this is only a refresh to the current generation Navigator. I thought for sure that this would be an all new generation considering how much is changed.
@@RemykhTV technically it _should’ve_ been a full redesign as the Navigator has already been refreshed before and a redesign is expected in due. My guess is the saw the 2025 Escalde/Escalade _IQ,_ panicked, and rushed this “refresh” to market. Except this ain’t a mid cycle refresh, it’s a *heavy emergency update.*
Yeah that is terrible. It actually looks like it's broken. If that big bouncer type dude wasn't looming in the background, I guarantee Sofyan would have pointed that out.

Escalade screams top tier with its new exec. package but this is just "nice" to me. I think the taillamps shouldve been more stretched on the end like the Nautilus, it looks stubby. Its nice but where is the powerboost option?!
Its crazy how these cars are becoming so futuristic and full of technology I grew up seeing the 98 Lincoln navigators as the top of line luxury 😅😂 and now theres this 😮 Slowly transitioning into flying cars one day or hoover
Technically, the GMC Yukon was the first idea of a luxury large SUV before the Navi. It looks good though, but the updated Escalade looks BONKERS compared to this, with doors that automatically close, and the interior finishes look more like a Range now. But this is still quite nice. Not a fan of the rear silhouette.
22:08 you know what's actually relaxing, getting into a car with minimal screens and capacitive touch buttons. That's why the likes of Rolls Royce and Bugatti try to use the least amount of screens and soft buttons and keep lots of beautiful, satisfying hard buttons.
Also catering to a different type of client. This needs a little more mass appeal to attract customers. You are talking about another $150,000 to $200,000 more than this.
4:50 thumbs up for Lincoln and Ford on keeping the amber turn signals and making them sequential looks cool too. With LED lights, it’s not difficult to incorporate amber turn signals while still having the unique lighting animations.
Interior style is a winner but missing Escalade's exec package with trays, heated/cooled cupholders, console fridge and power closing doors. Exterior is very good except that lower front grill doesnt match anything it looks cheap.
Escalade doesn't have any worries. The wheels seem to have been designed by Genesis. The rear doesn't seem to go with the vehicle at all. The 2025 Escalade is far more cohesive.
@@DeadofWinter321 the Escalade name is arguably more infamous that the Cadillac nameplate. It will continue to outsell the Lincoln. The Escalade refresh is more cohesive inside and out.
I’m just not a Escalade person. I’ve always been team Lincoln especially with the suvs they’ve been putting out. The aviator as well is a gorgeous vehicle
Ultimate expression of American luxury? I would give that title to Cadillac. Just think the overall quality, interior and exterior styling is better on the Escalade.
Finally full electric 2nd row seats! It can definitely be competitive even in Europe. Amazin'! Even long base, all they need to do is to keep the weight no more then 3,5 tone so we could drive it on B driver licence, no needed to have track C driver licence and also keeping it up to 3.5 tone allows cllients in Europe no to pay extra road tax during the each drive.
It's "ok" but I'll play devil's advocate here. Cadillac, in my opinion, has always and still does a much better job of stylistically setting the Escalade apart from its mainstream siblings. The Escalade's exterior styling just exudes cohesion. With this Navigator, the same issues still plague it imo. The Lincoln front with the Expedition sides look glued together with that black bar that just looks like an afterthought. The Aviator is beautiful. The Nautilus is beautiful. Both have unique styling and look nothing like their siblings, the Explorer and Escape. Those just "look" special. There is nothing special about the exterior of this Navigator. The interior on the other hand is extremely nice.
To me The previous body style still looks more aggressive and more stylish. in the interior, a style more familiar to what we are used to seeing, for example, in Hyundai or KIA, is depicted, with a single-faced instrument panel. I don't want to be too critical, but I can't say that in the 2025 navigator there are kind of stunning changes.
17:55 the lack of second row headroom is unacceptable. How did Lincoln make such a large vehicle with so little headroom? Anyone decently tall sitting there better be 70% legs.
@@1227Masher Not as hideous as the new Range Rover The new Range Rover Sport however has a gorgeous rear end...but the full size regular Range Rover? Yuck.
5 improvements I could see that could make them over the top: 1) A competition to the Escalade V-Series. A high horsepower luxury SUV. 2) Full roof panoramic sunroof. All the way to the 3rd row. 3) Add refrigeration options to both the front and/or second row consoles. 4) Have second row and optional 3rd row fold down seat tables. Great for business people, high end clients, and others. 5) 3rd row headrest TVs.
You'll a fool if you think the Cadillac is better. That Lincoln is years ahead of the Cadillac. Go look at those car reviews and listen to what everyone saying
@jigglejigggleee8765 people who are a fan sometimes gets the wrong idea. GMC can't afford to build anything better than Ford, because they're still in debt
Looks great! only thing they really need to do to it is to put exposed exhaust tips or pipes on the rear bumpers like they're doing on the escalades and yukons. That'll alone would give it a more sportier look. IMO
After they reworked the Caddy front end, I’d lean towards the Navigator for this iteration of the two. There’s something off about the headlight integration on the Escalade
Nothing off about the new Escalade headlights. They look great. I missed the waterfall headlight style that they used to have, especially for the 2015 -2020 escalades. For 2025 They finally brought it back and it looks more in line with their other vehicles in the lineup so it definitely works for the Cadillac brand
Have you not seen the update of the 2025 Escalade? Its second row is much nicer than the Navigator. The 2025 Escalade essentially has the same interior as the IQ.
Can’t imagine this thing sitting in a drive way for 5 years plus, curious to how the tech will hold up. I hope this screen trend goes away. Looks great until it doesn’t work.
As nice as it is, it's lagging behind the Escalade, especially when it comes to cylinders. Turbos are crutches for weak engines and add more unnecessary complexity and maintenance. However, neither vehicles can hide their mundane origins and the Navigator seem from the sides screams Expedition.
Happy Thursday everyone! We had a chance to see the new Navigator in person earlier this week and right now we are heading to Monterey Car Week in Pebble Beach for the weekend to film lots of new car content! Stay tuned! 😊

@@allenmoviesI assume that it is just too tall. Our door handles on our RAM are already pretty high up and they are a good 6” down from the window.

To me The previous body style still looks more aggressive and more stylish. in the interior, a style more familiar to what we are used to seeing, for example, in Hyundai or KIA, is depicted, with a single-faced instrument panel. I don't want to be too critical, but I can't say that in the 2025 navigator there are kind of stunning changes.
That rims though 😝😝
Looks more refined and more upscale than cadilac. Bravo! Lincoln.
Looks like a hearse
Love your car video
17:55 the lack of second row headroom is unacceptable. How did Lincoln make such a large vehicle with so little headroom? Anyone decently tall sitting there better be 70% legs.
Get one without the sunroof if you want more head space.
They may not have had the seat at the lowest position, since it now power, not manual like the current model.
I would have liked to seen dual exhaust on the Navigator, but it looks great.
They should’ve put a sound bar setup in the dashboard instead of that smaller speaker.
This will be top contender for my next Family SUV. I like the interior way better than the 24 model
Am I the only one getting Pontiac Aztek vibes looking at the rear fascia design?
Yes! The rear end is horrible. Worst on any of the full size SUVs.

Not as hideous as the new Range Rover
The new Range Rover Sport however has a gorgeous rear end...but the full size regular Range Rover? Yuck.
5 improvements I could see that could make them over the top:
1) A competition to the Escalade V-Series. A high horsepower luxury SUV.
2) Full roof panoramic sunroof. All the way to the 3rd row.
3) Add refrigeration options to both the front and/or second row consoles.
4) Have second row and optional 3rd row fold down seat tables. Great for business people, high end clients, and others.
5) 3rd row headrest TVs.
A very nice Lincoln but unfortunately, it's NOT a 2025 Cadillac Escalade. Just saying.
You'll a fool if you think the Cadillac is better. That Lincoln is years ahead of the Cadillac. Go look at those car reviews and listen to what everyone saying
@@BruceDragon-sf1tr😂😂😂😂😂
@jigglejigggleee8765 people who are a fan sometimes gets the wrong idea. GMC can't afford to build anything better than Ford, because they're still in debt
Looks great! only thing they really need to do to it is to put exposed exhaust tips or pipes on the rear bumpers like they're doing on the escalades and yukons. That'll alone would give it a more sportier look. IMO
My local Ford dealer currently has an entire row of these giant BRICKS, each costing over 100k that no one is buying.
Every dealer has a large inventory right now. Not just Lincoln. Case in point the local Cadillac dealer has 127 Escalades.
@@ourloveofcars4521 that still doesn't justify building such wasteful expensive monstrosities.
@@Aki_Lesbrinco just because you don't have a need for it doesn't mean other people don't.
@@ourloveofcars4521the Escalade is best selling luxury full-size suv each year they sell more the 40k of them
This looks really good. Also that engine bay had so much space! They could fit a V8 in there lol.
Unless it has more power? This has more power than the 6.2L V-8 in the Escalade.
@@PearlJamFanLV the question is is it more reliable ? Hell no
And it also has 100 less Newton meter of torque
Escalade>Infiniti Qx80>Lincoln Navigator. In fact, I’d grab a GMC over this. I cannot believe they did not upgrade the engine.
That is just shocking. They had a chance to trump the others and they were just like “meh”.
@@Mint2842 yeah, I’m doing a review on this tomorrow. I’m so shocked. I can’t believe it.
@@CarTrims can’t wait to hear your commentary!
@@Mint2842 thank you!!
After they reworked the Caddy front end, I’d lean towards the Navigator for this iteration of the two. There’s something off about the headlight integration on the Escalade
Nothing off about the new Escalade headlights. They look great. I missed the waterfall headlight style that they used to have, especially for the 2015 -2020 escalades. For 2025 They finally brought it back and it looks more in line with their other vehicles in the lineup so it definitely works for the Cadillac brand
The Navigator SUV appears unappealing at this length.
False
@@thomastague9359 I’m referring to the longer wheel 🛞 base version. it’s too long
@@Phil-fw2ib I wanna know if the standard length here is shown
Would have loved to see ventilated 3 row seats...
Over all, great vehicle and great review as always.
Keep the videos coming!
escalade is the king of American luxury suv. this looks like a posted up ford
I like the new wave of futuristic designs hopefully the platforms are as futuristic
Dude… slow down, bro we love you. You’re amazing. It’s OK slow the fuck down and breathe.
Many times, at these press events, they only give these guys maybe 30 minutes to make their videos.
The split tailgate is awesome. Wish more suvs had it!
lincolns new theme "lets copy the escalade" only that interior is hideous
Lincoln’s new theme is copy GM but make it worse and uglier
Now this is NICEEEEE 😍😍😍
16:41 2025 navigator=escalade iq but gas
Have you not seen the update of the 2025 Escalade? Its second row is much nicer than the Navigator. The 2025 Escalade essentially has the same interior as the IQ.
Absolutely stunning!
It's just ugly. Inside is great, tech is superb, spacious.....but ugly 🤷🏾♂️
Can’t imagine this thing sitting in a drive way for 5 years plus, curious to how the tech will hold up. I hope this screen trend goes away. Looks great until it doesn’t work.
Where the hell are you parking this bus? This ain’t fitting in a soccer mom garage 🤣🤣 great job lincoln
Right? In a couple of years SUVs are going to grow to the point where people will need hangars instead of garages.
My Chevy Colorado fits in a garage I’m pretty sure this will fit.
@@TheJ602Colorado not that big compared to this
This looks great. Lincoln knocked it out of the park as always
Escalade looks better.
Not with those hideous split lights
I'll choose the Escalade over this, however the navigator is 🔥
Absolutely not...😂
both literally look very similar body wise. both very boisterous just different fascia.
A tad bit too long. Front should've gotten more boxier but I mean I'd drive it😂
gorgeous. good job, lincoln!
As nice as it is, it's lagging behind the Escalade, especially when it comes to cylinders. Turbos are crutches for weak engines and add more unnecessary complexity and maintenance. However, neither vehicles can hide their mundane origins and the Navigator seem from the sides screams Expedition.
I’d buy the older navigator over this new one
