Tag along with Edmunds Senior Writer Mark Takahashi as he gets behind the wheel of the allnew 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It follows the Continental sedan to market, strengthening Lincoln’s foothold in the premium luxury market.

The Navigator makes a strong styling statement with oversized proportions and a bold grille. The interior combines smart features with easytouse interfaces, along with sharp design and impeccable materials.

Mark spent quite a bit of time in the topoftheline Black Label trim, enhanced with 30way poweradjustable seats and the Revel Ultima audio upgrade. Like all Navigators, it’s powered by a twinturbo V6 that produces 450 horsepower. The price of admission rings in just shy of the $100,000 mark and he’s convinced it’s worth it.

At that size and price, it’s primary competitors are the Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes GLSClass. Mark says he’d take the Navigator over both of them in a heartbeat.
