SUVs are all the rage nowadays and to cash in, Lincoln has just unveiled its all-new full-size SUV, the 2018 Navigator. Set to debut at the New York Auto Show, the new model has been dramatically overhauled and promises to be more luxurious than ever before. For starters, the body of the 2018 Navigator is made from lightweight aluminium, a change which saves almost 200 pounds on its own. Grunt is then provided by a twin-turbocharged V6 which Lincoln says will produce around 450 hp and be mated to Ford’s new 10-speed automatic transmission. The cabin of the Navigator has been completely re-thought and pushes the vehicle to the upper-echelons of the luxury SUV market. As standard, it comes with three rows of seats and incorporates a unique cargo management system that includes an adjustable shelf behind the rear seats to allow storage to be customized. Elsewhere, the 2018 Navigator has front seats with heating and cooling features that can be adjusted up to 30 different ways. Th...

Lincoln just dropped a shady image of what looks like the successor of the Navigator full-size luxury SUV. The new Navigator will draw inspiration from the impressive gullwinged concept shown last year but don’t expect to see its huge gullwing doors reaching the production line. It doesn’t matter though as the new big Lincoln is rumored to be a drastic departure from the current model, featuring an all-aluminum body to help it shed some of its colossal weight along with a tasty luxurious environment on the inside. Powertrains will definitely include Ford’s 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 and the 10-speed automatic transmission as well. There’s very little information about what else to expect from the new Navigator. Rumors suggest that Lincoln wants to directly rival models like the Cadillac Escalade with the new Navigator, which means that an increase in its price tag is also imminent. Lincoln will reveal the all-new Navigator at the New York Auto Show, so be patient and stay tuned...

Last night Lincoln revealed a new concept that essentially previews the new generation of their full-size SUV. Nothing wows more than a pair of huge gullwing doors, like the ones on the Navigator concept but it doesn't seem very likely that  the actual production model  will get them. Under the fancy doors and the whole yacht-inspired bling though, Lincoln’s new concept hides a new chassis, a 3.5-litre V6 EcoBoost engine with more than 400hp and an array of Ford’s shiny new technologies to make the new Navigator a true Range Rover rival. "The all-new Navigator Concept reinforces our commitment to give every Lincoln client what we call quiet luxury – vehicles and experiences that are elegant, effortlessly powerful and serene," said company president Kumar Galhotra. "This kind of quiet luxury sets Lincoln apart. Now, we're showing  fans of large SUVs  how we can exceed their expectations, without being the loudest statement on the road." The concept itself ...
