Is the Lincoln Navigator a good car?

Yes — the Lincoln Navigator is a strong choice if you want a large luxury SUV with a roomy cabin, upscale comfort, and a powerful driving character. 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 high-quality technology and long-distance comfort also come up again and again, especially for families and road-trip buyers. Expert reviews echo that appeal with a focus on the Navigator’s size, luxury feel, and strong presence.

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

The trade-offs tend to center on ride quality, back-seat comfort in some recent versions, and the amount of physical control reduction in the newest cabin design. Even so, the Navigator remains a compelling used luxury SUV if you value space, power, and a premium feel.

28.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Lincoln Navigator models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently describe the Lincoln Navigator as a comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped luxury SUV with strong power and a refined cabin. Across the model years, that combination is a big part of why it continues to attract buyers who want a full-size premium SUV.

• 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 any single model-year pattern, so a careful history check and pre-purchase inspection matter a lot.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 81.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: BlueCruise, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, lane-centering assistance, intersection assist, evasive steering assist, and Turn Signal View.
• Infotainment: Lincoln Digital Experience infotainment system with a 48-inch panoramic display and an 11.1-inch center touchscreen control center.

Which Lincoln Navigator trim should I buy?

The 2025 Lincoln Navigator offers these trims:

• Navigator Reserve: This is the base version, and it gives you the Navigator’s core luxury setup with the clean, architectural cabin design, the 48-inch panoramic display, and the 11.1-inch touchscreen. It’s the best-value starting point if you want the Navigator experience without moving up the trim ladder.
• Navigator Reserve Jet Appearance Package: This adds a blacked-out look with blacked-out wheels and details for a more dramatic exterior presentation.
• Navigator Black Label: This top trim adds the most upscale interior treatment, quality materials, and the most exclusive feel in the lineup.
• Navigator Black Label Special Edition Package: This adds the blacked-out styling treatment to the Black Label, along with the Sunrise Copper paint and the Enlighten interior theme on the test vehicle.

What Lincoln Navigator do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you the broadest selection of listings and a strong mix of pricing and deal availability. That usually makes it easier to compare trims, mileage, and condition before you buy.

What is the Lincoln Navigator's resale value?

Most Navigator model years are posting double-digit price drops, which is good news if you're shopping used and want more SUV for the money. The newer years are falling sharply too, so recent-model buyers may find stronger value than expected. The smallest declines are still meaningful, but they show that some older years are softening a bit less than the rest.

The 2016, 2015, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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

For the safest used buy, the 2020 and 2025 models both post the highest confirmed score of 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 −13.91% versus a year ago, and the 2023 model is at −13.46%.
• Deal availability: The 2024 model has 29.9% good and great deals, and the 2023 model has 29.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $66,501. The Lincoln Navigator offers a spacious, upscale cabin with a strong sense of presence and comfort.

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.
