2023 Lincoln Navigator L review

1. Potent turbo V6 engine 

The Lincoln Navigator L comes standard with a Ford-sourced twin-turbo 3.5L V6 that pounds out 450 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque that flows through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Its potent engine allows the Navigator L to sprint to 60 mph in under six seconds, and its strong construction nets it an estimated 8,400-pound towing capacity when properly equipped — an estimated 8,100 pounds with four-wheel drive.

2. Bring all the cargo 

The 2023 Lincoln Navigator L has an extra 11.9 inches of length compared to the base Navigator. What did Lincoln use this additional room for? Cargo space, of course. The 2023 Navigator L hauls an impressive 34.3 cu-ft of cargo with all three rows upright so the whole family can come along on your shopping trips. Need more room? Fold down the third row, and open up 73.3 cu-ft of space. If you need more space, leave the kiddos at home and lower both rear rows to expose 120.2 cu-ft of cargo space. 

3. Loaded with technology 

The 2023 Lincoln Navigator L has no shortage of tech features in its cabin — just as you’d expect from a luxury SUV. Its standard tech list includes a 12-inch configurable digital instrument display, navigation with real-time traffic data, available 4G LTE data services, keyless ignition, a power tailgate, and more. The infotainment system is even more impressive, boasting a 13.2-inch touchscreen with Ford’s intuitive Sync system, Apple CarPlay^Ⓡ and Android Auto^™ integration, navigation, a smartphone charging pad, and more.

For the audiophile, there’s a standard 14-speaker audio system or the optional 28-speaker system. 

4. Unmatched comfort 

The 2023 Lincoln Navigator L leaves you craving nothing in terms of comfort from a luxury SUV. It comes standard with comfortable front seats, which offer plenty of support and softness, heating and ventilation, and optional 30-way power adjustment. The second-row captain's chairs are also quite comfortable and have plenty of room for passengers of all sizes, with 41.1 inches of legroom. The third-row seats, often an afterthought, have an impressive 42.3 inches of legroom and dedicated cupholders and USB ports.  

5. Superior ride 

The 2023 Lincoln Navigator also boasts a well-tuned chassis that handles this big-bodied SUV well. However, the suspension system’s main claim to fame is its incredible ability to absorb bumps and imperfections in the road. Even if you add the large 22-inch wheels, it still handles road imperfections beautifully, making your daily commute peaceful and luxurious.
