A rugged and refined luxury SUV.
Are you looking for a luxury SUV that can carry around a large group of people in style? The 2020 Lincoln Navigator may be the right choice, thanks to its impressive interior space, an incredibly powerful twin-turbocharged V6 engine, and cutting-edge luxury. And, there are two body styles to choose from with the larger Navigator L offering even more cabin space. Available rear-entertainment systems will make passengers in the second and third row feel like they're on their own private jet. You’ll get the best of both worlds in this luxury SUV. While we currently do not have many of these models on our lots, we look forward to selling more in the future.
