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

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2020 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel 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. Four-wheel drive (4WD) is standard on the Navigator, which boasts 8.9 inches of ground clearance. Our first drive was near San Diego, California, on a route that dropped about 4,000 feet in elevation and was mostly highway driving. That explains the unexpectedly favorable observed fuel economy of 20.3 mpg, well above the official EPA rating of 17 mpg in combined driving.
• Infotainment: 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. The tech blends native Lincoln features with Google Built-in and Alexa Built-in, providing a remarkably intuitive interface that should prove easy to learn for to anyone who is familiar with a modern smartphone.
• Safety package: BlueCruise is also standard and comes with a complimentary four-year subscription to service. It provides hands-free driving on approved roads, taking full control of the SUV as long as the driver continues paying attention and is ready to assume command of the Navigator at any time.

Which Lincoln Navigator trim should I buy?

The 2025 Lincoln Navigator offers these trims:

• Navigator Reserve: The base version brings the Navigator’s core luxury setup and serves as the starting point for the lineup.
• Navigator Reserve Jet Appearance Package: This version adds a blacked-out look with darker exterior details for shoppers who want a more distinctive appearance.
• Navigator Black Label Special Edition Package: This version adds the blacked-out treatment and sits at the top of the lineup, making it the best fit if you want the most exclusive presentation.

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 popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, mileage, and price combination. They also sit close enough to the newest redesigns to deliver modern features while still offering more used-market value than the latest model year.

What is the Lincoln Navigator's resale value?

Most Navigator model years are showing double-digit year-over-year price declines, which is good news if you’re shopping used. The pattern points to broad softening across the lineup rather than isolated movement in just a few years, so you may find stronger value in several different model years. The 2019, 2016, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Lincoln Navigator safe?

• 2025: 9/10
• 2023: 8/10
• 2022: 8/10
• 2021: 8/10
• 2020: 9/10
• 2018: 7/10

BlueCruise is standard on the 2025 Navigator and comes with a complimentary four-year subscription.

For the safest used buy, the 2020 and 2025 models both post the highest confirmed score of 9/10.

• Starting price: Our Black Label test vehicle had a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $128,340, including the $1,995 destination charge.

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 the next model year's inventory to build up.
