FactIn 1998 Lincoln briefly appeared to outsell Cadillac for the first time in decades, until an audit found the figures came from overzealous employees.
The fifth-generation Lincoln Navigator (model code U718) was revealed on August 15, 2024 and has been built at Kentucky Truck Assembly in Louisville since January 2025 for the 2025 model year, in standard and long-wheelbase Navigator L forms. Every model has the twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 carried over from the previous model, a 10-speed automatic, standard four-wheel drive and adaptive suspension. Inside is a 48-inch full-width display across the top of the dashboard and an 11.1-inch touchscreen; it also gains a Split Gate tailgate and power-folding third-row seats. BlueCruise hands-free driving assistance is standard.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 3.5 EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

In 1998 Lincoln briefly appeared to outsell Cadillac for the first time in decades, until an audit found the figures came from overzealous employees.
This Navigator went aluminum-bodied like the Ford Expedition it shares a platform with — ending up nearly 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor despite being physically bigger.
The Navigator had run V8-only since 1998 — for the 2015 model year Lincoln dropped it entirely and sold this generation with just a turbo EcoBoost V6.
Despite sharing its platform with the Ford Expedition, this Navigator's four-wheel-drive system was quietly downgraded to a single-range transfer case with no low-range gearing at all.
The 2003 Navigator's dashboard wasn't new-school at all — its symmetrical "dual-cockpit" layout was a deliberate callback to the 1961 Lincoln Continental, finished in real walnut burl.
In the Navigator's debut year, Cadillac briefly claimed to have out-sold it - until an audit forced GM to retract the figures and apologize, blaming 'overzealous' employees for inflating December Escalade sales numbers.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
IIHS only crash-tests the driver's corner; tested on the passenger side instead, the CX-5 showed far worse intrusion.
Despite launching from a standing start in late 2025, the i60 topped GAC Aion's own sales chart through January's seasonal slowdown.
Every Defender before this one was body-on-frame — this generation broke decades of tradition with an aluminium unibody structure instead.
Crashed on the passenger side instead of the driver's, the 2014 Forester showed far more intrusion and would have rated Marginal with the IIHS.
Subaru built a 2.5XT for the National Ski Patrol with a diamond-plate floor, a 9,500-pound winch and a toboggan on the roof.
The L405 was the first Range Rover with a fully aluminum monocoque body, cutting up to 420 kg from the outgoing steel-bodied L322.
Rear passengers get a 17.3-inch screen that extends from the roof, and a lidar sensor sits in the front of the roof.
Its range-extender variant is rated for 1,200 km on a tank and charge, over three times the car's electric-only range.
