Is the 2022 Lincoln Navigator a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Lincoln Navigator earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.2/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

It stands out as Lincoln’s flagship full-size luxury SUV, with classically elegant styling, robust towing capacity, and soothing comfort in all three rows of seats. That makes it a strong fit if you want a large upscale SUV that emphasizes comfort and capability.

Is the 2022 Lincoln Navigator reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2022 Navigator is presented as a refreshed model that updates styling, comfort, technology, safety, and driving dynamics. Its twin-turbo V6 delivers strong performance, and the updated suspension and brake hardware help the SUV feel more composed than before.

The tech package also helps the ownership experience, with over-the-air update capability and a voice recognition system that is better than last year’s version. Lincoln also includes ownership perks such as valet service when it’s time for maintenance.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is the cost and complexity that come with a large luxury SUV, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Lincoln Navigator?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully and prioritize a thorough inspection, especially on a large luxury SUV where repairs can be expensive. Focus on signs of wear in the cabin, electronics, and suspension, since those are the areas most likely to affect your ownership experience.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Standard, Reserve, and Black Label are the trims explicitly identified here, and the base setup already includes a 20-inch wheel design, updated lighting, and Lincoln’s new display theme. Higher trims add more luxury presentation, so compare cabin materials and equipment carefully if you want the best value.
• Powertrain: The Navigator uses a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. It delivers 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, with towing capacity ranging between 8,100 pounds and 8,700 pounds depending on configuration.
• Safety package: The standard suite includes Intersection Assist, Road Edge Detection, Active Park Assist 2.0, ActiveGlide, and a surround-view camera system. ActiveGlide is a hands-free system for approved highways, but you still need to stay attentive.
• Infotainment: The Navigator gets a 13.2-inch touchscreen with Sync 4, wireless-style smartphone support through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and over-the-air update capability. The system also supports split data panels for navigation and media.
• Fuel efficiency: The Navigator 4WD should return 18 mpg in combined driving, and the test vehicle averaged 18.6 mpg during evaluation.

Which 2022 Lincoln Navigator trim should I buy?

The 2022 Lincoln Navigator is offered in 3 trim levels: Standard, Reserve, and Black Label.

Here's the short version:

• Standard: This is the entry point, but it still brings the updated styling, the 13.2-inch touchscreen, and the core luxury-SUV experience. If you want the Navigator’s size, comfort, and capability without chasing every extra feature, this is the trim to start with.
• Reserve: This is the best-value choice if you want a more upscale feel without going all the way to the top. It should be the trim to compare most closely if you want a balance of equipment and price.
• Black Label: This is the most luxurious version, and the review’s test vehicle used the Central Park theme with a matching green interior and second-row heated, ventilated, and massaging captain’s chairs. Choose this if you want the richest presentation and the most premium cabin experience.

The standard safety package includes Intersection Assist, Road Edge Detection, Active Park Assist 2.0, ActiveGlide, and a surround-view camera system.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Lincoln Navigator?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,097 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.46% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $47,557, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Lincoln Navigator's resale value?

The current average of $47,557 sits slightly below last year's $56,256.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may pressure future resale if prices keep easing. For a seller, the current trend means you may need to price competitively to move the vehicle.

The good news is that the Navigator’s strong reputation for comfort, capability, and technology helps support demand among shoppers looking for a full-size luxury SUV. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Lincoln Navigator safe?

The 2022 Lincoln Navigator earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Several new driver assistance systems debut on the 2022 Lincoln Navigator. They include Intersection Assist, Road Edge Detection, Active Park Assist 2.0, and ActiveGlide, and a surround-view camera system is also standard.

ActiveGlide is Lincoln’s hands-free driving technology for approved highways, but you still need to pay attention the entire time. The system works within its limits, though it can disengage on tighter curves, so it’s best viewed as a helpful aid rather than a replacement for driver attention.

Should I buy a 2022 Lincoln Navigator or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.46% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 refresh adds updated styling, technology, safety, and driving dynamics.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $37,512, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $47,557 average.
• It offers a spacious, upscale full-size SUV feel with a quiet cabin and premium materials.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $54,921, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $47,557 average.
• It emphasizes spacious third-row comfort and impressive technology.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the best all-around pick if you want the refreshed Navigator with strong value relative to its recent pricing trend. If your priority is saving money, the 2021 is the better budget path; if you want to spend more for a newer-year alternative, the 2023 is the next step up.
