2014 Lincoln Navigator review

1. Roomy interior 

The 2014 Lincoln Navigator is a full-size luxury SUV, and its big body goes to good use in terms of interior space. Inside, you’ll find three rows of seating for seven people that can accommodate even your large family. But not all three-row SUVs are equal. The Navigator’s two rear rows have plenty of legroom for children through adults, with 39.7 inches in the second row and 37.7 inches in the third row.  

2. Cargo room for miles 

Full-size SUVs are notorious for hauling mass amounts of cargo, thanks to their cavernous interiors. The 2014 Lincoln Navigator can haul with the best of them. With both rear rows upright, it can accommodate 18.1 cu-ft of cargo, which is plenty for a week’s worth of groceries or sports equipment. With the third row folded, it can swallow up 54.4 cu-ft of cargo. If you’ve got a big haul, you can leave the kiddos home and fold both rear rows, opening up a massive 103.3 cu-ft of cargo space.  

3. Tow with the best of them 

The 2014 Lincoln Navigator has a 5.4L V8 engine that delivers 310 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque. This pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel or optional four-wheel drive. While this powertrain isn’t tuned for performance, it combines well with the Navigator’s chassis and construction to deliver an estimated 9,100-pound towing capacity when properly equipped.

4. Great ride 

While the 2014 Lincoln Navigator is no corner-carving SUV, its suspension is excellent in terms of ride comfort. Its soft suspension helps it glide over even the roughest of roads. Plus, its well-insulated cabin keeps road and wind noise to a minimum, allowing you to enjoy your daily commute living in the lap of luxury.  

5. Plenty of options 

The 2014 Lincoln Navigator lacks some standard features, particularly adaptive cruise control and an advanced infotainment system. However, its voice-activated navigation is a nice touch, as is its standard Bluetooth^Ⓡ connectivity and HD radio. Where the Navigator shines is its long list of premium options, including a power moonroof, rear-seat DVD system, perimeter alarm, illuminated entry with approach lamps, and adjustable pedals.
