The Critics' Lincoln Navigator Reviews

View Reviews for years 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
63 / 100
Lincoln revamps its large SUV for 2007, giving it fresh styling and an extended-wheelbase model.
HowStuffWorks
75 / 100
But overall, even if the 2012 Lincoln Navigator doesn’t have any glaring issues, reviewers say that most of its rivals are better choices for shoppers who value extra horsepower and opulent interiors.
USNews
71 / 100
The Navigator delivers a large presence, acceptable styling, generally competitive safety features, and a spacious and comfortable cabin. However, it can't match the performance and styling of others in its class.

The 2009 Lincoln Navigator is an often-overlooked, but very competent, full-size luxury SUV.

77 / 100
Not only does the Navigator offer adult-sized third-row accommodations but it also has good driving dynamics and head-turning style.

The 2011 Lincoln Navigator gives buyers comfortable seats in all three rows, practical cargo space and a long list of high-tech standard features, but an underpowered engine leaves reviewers wanting more.

The 2012 Lincoln Navigator is truly all about comfort, almost. Its older design does betray the driving position as the steering wheel is not telescopic.

If you are looking for a luxurious family hauler with the lowest starting price in its class along with an excessively spacious cabin capable of accommodating eight passengers and their gear, the 2012 Lincoln Navigator is worth your consideration.

40 / 100
Though luxurious, the Navigator's interior design lags behind that of the newer Lincoln sedans and crossovers as well as its competitors. The Navigator's biggest weakness is its engine.

The Lincoln Navigator slides into 2008 after a major overhaul in 2007, so the changes for this year are pretty slim.

The 2009 Lincoln Navigator is a well-rounded, full-size SUV offering both luxury and performance.

Improvements for 2010 include the addition across the range of the new SYNC and Sirius Travel Link features, plus Standard Trailer Sway Control as part of the AdvanceTrac stability system and MyKey technology, which allows Navigator owners to limit top speed and radio volume even when they're not in the car-and all are standard.

The 2011 Lincoln Navigator is large and lavish, in a uniquely American way, though its powertrains are a step behind those of rival truck-based SUVs.

Lavish and large, the 2012 Lincoln Navigator is luxury, American-style, but its powertrains are a step behind those of the competition.
