2023 Lincoln Navigator vs. the Competition

2023 Cadillac Escalade

The Cadillac Escalade is a powerhouse in the large luxury SUV segment. However, it trails behind the 2023 Lincoln Navigator in every measure. While you might find some of the same features like an adaptive suspension and heated and ventilated seats, you'll be asked to pay more for a Cadillac.

Luxury Details Matter

Experience Comfortable Luxury the Lincoln Way

The 2023 Lincoln Navigator is the perfect blend of comfort and luxury. Experience details like no other, including Perfect Position seats with 30 possible adjustments, including separate thigh heights, to give you a truly personalized experience that prioritizes your comfort to the smallest details. Not only do first-row passengers enjoy quiet luxury like massaging leather seats, but the Lincoln Navigator extends the same creature comforts to second-row passengers. When it comes to creating the perfect sanctuary that makes every drive a blissful escape, no one does it better than Lincoln.

LINCOLN EMBRACE

A dramatic entrance. Your Navigator will greet you every time you approach with an awakening illumination sequence and organic movement.

APPROACH DETECTION

From the moment you approach, your vehicle guides the way. When your key fob is within a detectable range, autofold sideview mirrors project a signature Lincoln logo welcome mat on the ground below the front doors, door handles glow and front and rear running lamps illuminate in a thoughtfully timed sequence.

Available features shown.

3D TAILLAMPS

The coast-to-coast rear design of the Lincoln Navigator is elevated with brilliant lighting, soothing lines and grounding energy. The commanding stance of the vehicle is anchored with a sleek rear design that achieves harmonious balance. 3D taillamps wrap the tailgate in a warm glow, with a Lincoln Embrace lighting sequence that bursts from the center like a brilliant sun and spreads its rays across the horizon.

AVAILABLE ILLUMINATED POWER RUNNING BOARDS

A step up in stepping in. Power-deployable running boards extend and available illumination greets you as you approach - helping to lead the way and to assist you as you enter and exit the vehicle. In sync with the Lincoln logo welcome mat, this small design cue gives you the feeling of a high-profile arrival.

2023 NAVIGATOR® SUV Performance Features

TWIN-TURBOCHARGED 3.5L ENGINE

Capable of producing 440 horsepower* and 510 lb.-ft. of torque,* the twin-turbocharged 3.5L engine in the Lincoln Navigator® is a true powerhouse. With smooth and controlled power, it performs in a way that matches both your mood and the road. Additionally, this vehicle features five standard, selectable Lincoln Drive Modes, and offers the available Slow Climb mode when equipped with the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package (4x4 only).

*Horsepower and torque ratings based on premium fuel per SAE J1349® standard. Your results may vary. Horsepower and torque are independent attributes and may not be achieved simultaneously.

10-SPEED SELECTSHIFT® AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The 10-speed transmission in the Lincoln Navigator® helps to balance power with comfort. With 10 shift points, the engine can operate in its sweet spot and avoid the highs and lows associated with fewer gears.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

Conquer a range of terrain with ease. The available 4x4 configuration deftly applies the twin-turbocharged engine's 440 horsepower* and 510 lb.-ft. of torque,* making rugged driving conditions easily traversed. Plus, by adding available Hill Descent Control™ and tow hooks, trying situations can be easily overcome.

*Horsepower and torque ratings based on premium fuel per SAE J1349® standard. Your results may vary. Horsepower and torque are independent attributes and may not be achieved simultaneously. Always consult the Owner's Manual before off-road driving, know your terrain and trail difficulty, and use appropriate safety gear.

2023 NAVIGATOR® SUV Technology Features

PERSONAL PROFILES

Adjusting to your preferences upon your arrival. With personal profiles, up to three key fobs* can be programmed to instruct your Lincoln Navigator® SUV to adjust a number of features, even as you approach, that have been specifically set for different drivers. Profiles can also be accessed and initiated through the SYNC® 4* home screen. You can preset a variety of settings that adjust as soon as you approach and enter the vehicle, including audio, climate, displays, driver-assist features, mirrors, pedals and seats.

*Two key fobs provided at time of purchase. Additional fobs can be purchased through your Lincoln Retailer.

PHONE AS A KEY*

Because Lincoln designs technology around humanity, now you never have to worry about losing or finding your keys. Through the Lincoln Way™ App,** you can program your smartphone to act as the key to your Lincoln Navigator® SUV. Via a Bluetooth® connection, your phone will grant you entry into the Lincoln Navigator, allow you to start it and drive away. And should your phone die or get misplaced, a backup start passcode allows you to simply enter an access PIN to enter and start your engine.

*Available on select vehicles. Requires feature activation. Not compatible with all mobile phones.
**Lincoln Way™ App, compatible with select smartphone platforms, is available via a download. Message and data rates may apply.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

The available head-up display* helps to prove that what lies ahead is just as important as what is happening now. The system helps to create a custom driving experience by letting drivers choose what data to display, from standard driving information to Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control settings, Lane-Keeping System information and more. Digital light projection technology allows the display to be visible in different ambient lighting conditions.

*Don't drive while distracted. See Owner's Manual for details and system limitations.

INTERSECTION ASSIST

Intersection Assist* uses a camera mounted behind the windshield's rearview mirror to monitor road lane markings and detect oncoming traffic when making a left turn at an intersection. If the camera detects a vehicle approaching, it will prevent you from making the left turn in order to help prevent a potential collision.

INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control* with Stop-and-Go capability makes your drive even more effortless. When the Navigator® SUV is in adaptive cruise mode, radar scans the road ahead and detects if you are approaching slower traffic. The system can automatically brake and accelerate to keep you at your set speed or follow with the pace of traffic when speeds are below your set speed. With the addition of Stop-and-Go,** the feature can bring your vehicle to a complete stop in congested traffic and resume driving as traffic begins to move.

ACTIVE PARK ASSIST 2.0

Parking made easy - even in tight parallel or reverse perpendicular spots. When engaged, it can help locate a potential spot. Then all you have to do is brake to a complete stop, shift into Neutral and hold down the Active Park Assist button - your vehicle does the rest. Standard Active Park Assist 2.0 also offers Park Out Assist with side-sensing capability so you can confidently navigate out of a parking spot when someone's parked too close to you.*
