How much does the Lincoln Navigator cost in today's market?

Used Lincoln Navigator prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Lincoln Navigator's current nationwide average price is $50,739, and its year-round low is $47,263.83. That gives you a useful snapshot of what shoppers are paying for this model overall, with pricing varying substantially by model year and condition.

Recently, prices have come down for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Lincoln Navigator a good car?

Yes — the Lincoln Navigator is a strong choice if you want a large luxury SUV with broad owner appeal and a premium feel. The all-generations owner rating is 4.61/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Navigator for its spacious interior, comfortable seating, and smooth ride. The cabin quality and technology also come up often as strengths, especially for long trips and family use.

Expert reviews rate the 2022 and 2020 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs in recent expert-tested years center on ride quality, rear-seat space, and the amount of physical control hardware in the cabin. Even so, the Navigator remains compelling because it combines size, comfort, and capability in a way that few used luxury SUVs can match.

31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Lincoln Navigator models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the Lincoln Navigator as a comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped luxury SUV with strong everyday appeal. Expert coverage also reinforces its premium cabin, smooth-road composure, and high-end technology focus.

• Owners rate the Lincoln Navigator between 4.75 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is tied more to age, mileage, and upkeep than to the model’s core appeal, so a careful history check and pre-purchase inspection matter most.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 81.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Infotainment: Lincoln Digital Experience infotainment system with a 48-inch panoramic display and an 11.1-inch center touchscreen control center
• Fuel efficiency: 20.3 mpg, well above the official EPA rating of 17 mpg in combined driving

Which Lincoln Navigator trim should I buy?

The 2025 Lincoln Navigator offers...

• Navigator Reserve: This is the base version, and it gives you the core 2025 redesign with the Lincoln Digital Experience, the 48-inch panoramic display, and the latest BlueCruise system. It is the best-value starting point if you want the new cabin and tech without moving up the trim ladder.
• Navigator Reserve Jet Appearance Package: This adds a blacked-out look with Jet Appearance details for shoppers who want a darker, more distinctive exterior treatment.
• Navigator Black Label: This top trim adds the most upscale presentation, with the most premium interior theme and the most decadent-feeling cabin treatment in the lineup.
• Navigator Black Label Special Edition Package: This adds special-edition styling details, including blacked-out wheels and trim, for buyers who want the most expressive appearance package.

What Lincoln Navigator do most buyers choose?

The Lincoln Navigator years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Those higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right color, mileage, and equipment mix. They also tend to attract more attention from used buyers because they sit close to the newest redesign while still offering a meaningful price break.

What is the Lincoln Navigator's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the lineup, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The newer model years are seeing especially sharp drops, while the older years are also moving lower but by slightly smaller amounts.

The 2016, 2017, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Lincoln Navigator safe?

• 2025: 9/10

• 2022: 8/10
• 2021: 8/10
• 2020: 9/10

Should I buy a used Lincoln Navigator now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2024 model is at −13.88% versus a year ago, and the 2023 model is at −13.27%.
• Deal availability: The 2024 model has 32.9% good and great deals, and the 2023 model has 33.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $66,707. The Lincoln Navigator offers a spacious, upscale cabin with a strong sense of presence and comfort that makes it especially appealing for family travel and long-distance cruising.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Lincoln continues to use a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine in the 2025 Navigator. It makes 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, bolts to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and has a towing capacity of up to 8,700 pounds with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package and 22-inch wheels.
• Tech: For 2025, the Navigator adds the company’s Lincoln Digital Experience infotainment system with a 48-inch panoramic display and an 11.1-inch center touchscreen control center.
• Safety: In the 2025 Navigator, Lincoln uses BlueCruise 1.4, the latest version with driver-signaled automatic lane changes and in-lane repositioning to give large trucks traveling in an adjacent lane a little more room.
• Starting price: With a base price of more than $100,000 (including the destination charge), the 2025 Lincoln Navigator is more expensive than the BMW X7, Cadillac Escalade, Infiniti QX80, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Land Rover Defender 130, and Mercedes-Benz GLS.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2028 inventory to mature.
