Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Lincoln continues to use a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine in the 2025 Navigator.

• Starting price: With a base price of more than $100,000 (including the destination charge), the 2025 Lincoln Navigator is more expensive than several rivals.

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.
