The interior mixes American burl walnut, premium leather trim, satin nickel
finishes and white light-emitting-diode lighting to create a luxurious and
contemporary cabin.
The optional Lincoln Soundmark THX-Certified audio system offers DVD-based
navigation with voice activation, a touch-screen system interface and an in-dash
six-disc CD changer.
Powertrain and Chassis
Navigator's 300-horsepower, 5.4-liter, 3-valve V-8 engine with 365 pound-feet of
torque is mated to a premium six-speed ZF automatic transmission. The Navigator
is the only domestic full-size SUV equipped with a six-speed automatic
transmission. This premium transmission provides increased refinement and better
fuel economy than the typical four- or five-speed automatic. The transmission is
also currently used on Jaguar's flagship XJ sedan - providing an example of the
synergies between Ford Motor Company brands.
The engine features variable-valve timing and computer-controlled charge motion
control valves for torque across the rev range and maximum horsepower with
premium gas. Sound-damping actions, customized for the Navigator with the aid of
computer analysis, help to make this refined engine even quieter in operation.
Navigator's refined ride and handling are direct benefits of its four-wheel
independent suspension, rack- and-pinion steering and stiff frame.
With the optional heavy duty towing package, Navigator can tow up to 8,600
pounds when properly equipped. Both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive
versions are available.
Safety and Security
The Lincoln Navigator has a legacy of industry-leading safety.
AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control is standard on all Navigators. Unlike
any other system in the world, Roll Stability Control features roll-rate sensing
and correcting capability, offering assistance to the driver in maintaining
vehicle control during extreme maneuvers. The system automatically engages
counter measures to help the driver maintain maximum control and further reduce
the risk of rollover.
Navigator's well-balanced chassis, precise steering and powerful brakes provide
the first measure of defense in emergencies: controllability. If a collision is
unavoidable, a robust frame and a comprehensive portfolio of safety features
help protect the driver and passengers.
Additional safety features include Safety Canopy system, dual front air bags and
a standard tire-pressure monitoring system.
