The first prototype of the 2023 Lincoln Navigator has been sighted testing. This SUV underwent a complete redesign three years ago, with a fresh style and various improvements. The new model, on the other hand, will feature major aesthetic modifications that differentiate it from the full-size Ford Expedition.
As one of the best SUVs on the market, we should anticipate significant technical advancements. The next Navigator will certainly arrive in the first quarter of 2023. We anticipate numerous updates to this SUV, and here’s what we know about this model at the moment.
2023 Navigator Exterior Facelift
The market has traditionally been dominated by full-size SUVs. In general, there are numerous models, but only a select few can compete with the 2023 Lincoln Navigator. The Navigator’s front fascia is more attractive as a result of a new taller grille. The headlights are slightly different in such a way that they appear to wrap around the fenders. The back now features new LED taillights that cover the length of the tailgate.
Overall, the new Navigator resembles the stunning Lincoln Aviator. Naturally, all Lincoln vehicles are stunningly stylish, and the Navigator is no exception, despite its greater size. Spy images certainly indicate some significant cosmetic enhancements, and we expect to see significantly more once the camouflage is gone.
Cabin Updates
To this day, we saw a couple of images of the 2023 Lincoln Navigator. We do not anticipate any changes, as it will continue to run on the same platform as its predecessor. The standard Navigator has a luggage capacity of 19.3 cubic feet behind the third-row seat, while the Navigator L has 34.0 cubics.
The Navigator, once again, can seat seven passengers in three rows of seats. The new SUV will share Escalade’s huge digital display. The infotainment system has a high-end 16-speaker Revel audio system. Additionally, the dash will be new, and we may anticipate new system controls. Finally, Lincoln will add the latest driver-assistance technologies to enhance safety.
Familiar V6 Engine Remains
The 2023 Lincoln Navigator will most likely maintain the same engine options as the present model. This model will once again deploy a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine. The Navigator is still available in rear-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive configurations. It comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission and develops 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. This powerful engine is capable of towing up to 8.750 pounds.
However, current speculations suggest that the company may be working on a new hybrid system. By the way, Lincoln remains mum on the subject. Hybrid power will undoubtedly be an excellent addition, particularly in terms of fuel efficiency.
2023 Lincoln Navigator Release Date, Price
Lincoln has not yet announced a release date for the next 2023 Lincoln Navigator. However, the full-size SUV is almost certain to appear in late 2023 or early 2023. Pricing is still unknown, however many anticipate it to be identical to the current model. The price changes according to trim level. For instance, the base trim level starts at $77,500, while the range-topping variant will cost above $100,000.
