The 2017 Navigator stands out for its top handling, spacious cabin and new infotainment features. It offers a better mileage without compromising on performance, which makes it one of the most sought-after SUVs at the moment.
Here is a review of this large SUV with a closer look at its design, performance, safety features and price in the UAE.
Design of the 2017 Lincoln Navigator
At a glance, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator looks exceptionally handsome and luxurious. Even with a gigantic body, the exterior is aerodynamic, bold and classy. On the other hand, the interior is very luxurious and spacious with plenty of advanced technologies to make it irresistible. Together, the exterior and interior give the Navigator a more practical appeal.
Breathtaking Exterior
The exterior of the new 2017 Navigator is very eye-catching, thanks to its massive grille and wide stance. It is very well-proportioned with a slimmer grille at the front and subtle use of chrome accents at the sides and front of the vehicle make it even more striking.
Also at the front fascia, one can find the signature LED lamps with Adaptive high-intensity discharge (HID), rainlamp and autolamp features. The lower body side of the SUV wears the chrome “NAVIGATOR” insignia with pride, while the satin-finish grille complements the look without overpowering the overall design.
Even though it is luxurious, it is still an SUV and this is why Lincoln has added tow hooks at the front of the vehicle. The power liftgate at the rear of the vehicle makes it easy for adventure enthusiasts to load and unload their gear. Furthermore, Lincoln is offering more cargo space with the luggage rack on the roof with chrome side rails and black crossbars for added space.
To further accentuate the aggressive style of the 2017 Lincoln Navigator, 20-inch ultra-bright machined aluminium wheels are standard on the SUV. However, the Navigator comes with the option of 20-inch dark finish aluminium wheels, 22-inch machined aluminium wheels and 22-inch 9-spoke machined aluminium wheels.
Impeccable Interior
The expansive interior of the all-new 2017 Lincoln Navigator is the highlight of this SUV. The cabin of this SUV is exceptionally spacious with plenty of leg room for all of the 8 passengers. In fact, the third row seats in the Navigator have capacious head room and the best-in-class leg room.
At the front of the cabin, Lincoln has added heated and ventilated, low-back 10-way power adjustable front seats with three heating and four cooling settings. For the second row passengers, Lincoln has added low-back heated bucket seats with gorgeous leather trim.
The third row features a bench seat with 60/40 split PowerFold feature that will fold down the seats with just the touch of a button. The seats are covered with Geneva leather, which is a no-chrome, premium leather with natural grain shine. Throughout the cabin, one can find real wood appliques in Brown Walnut Swirl and Persian Burl that add to the luxurious appeal.
To enhance the cargo capacity, the third and the second row seats can be folded down for better storage capacity.
