The Lincoln Navigator has successfully maintained its top position among luxury SUVs over the years, fighting against such competitors as the Cadillac Escalade. Still, the latest upgrades have taken it to a whole new level of refinement. In fact, its massaging seats and sublime features make the 2022 Lincoln Navigator a vehicle of luxurious comfort.

The 2022 Lincoln Navigator is better than ever

With a price range of $76,710 to $106,025, the 2022 Lincoln Navigator is one of the most expensive luxury SUVs on the market, and with good reason. A few additions and tweaks have been made to the 2022 Navigator to make it more appealing than its previous model year.

You’ll notice the redesigned front end with updated headlights, turn signals, and cool tinted fog lights from the outside. The new Lincoln Navigator’s grille has been revamped and features gloss black and chrome accents for a more elegant appearance.

Meanwhile, under the hood is a powerful turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 450 horsepower. The new Lincoln Navigator also comes equipped with an adaptive suspension and 22-inch wheels, both of which provide some offroad capability and excellent towing capabilities. The Navigator has several standard safety features, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, active lane control, blind-spot monitoring, park assist, and more, Car Connection reports.

The Navigator’s ActiveGlide system offers limited hands-free driving

According to CNBC, Lincoln has also implemented its ActiveGlide system in the 2022 Navigator. The system offers limited hands-free driving and can maintain the luxury SUV’s speed while keeping it in the center of the lane, all without help from the driver. While the Level 2 system can conquer over 130,000 miles of road in the United States, it requires a navigation data plan with a three-year trial period before switching to a subscription.

Updated comfort and entertainment for the 2022 Navigator
