2025 Lincoln Navigator: $113K SUV That Won't Let You Drive It

The 2025 Lincoln Navigator L Reserve costs $113,150 and features a twin turbocharged 3.5L V6 making 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. But here's the problem: Lincoln won't let you access that performance. Seven electronic intervention systems stand between your inputs and the vehicle's response, creating a luxury SUV engineered for isolation over engagement. This all new Navigator represents a complete redesign with a 48-inch panoramic display, Lincoln Rejuvenate spa features, and continuously controlled damping that adjusts 500 times per second. The adaptive suspension, electric power steering, and 10 speed automatic transmission are all calibrated to protect you from spirited driving, whether you want that protection or not. At 6,044 pounds, the Navigator L seats seven, tows 8,700 lbs, and competes with the Cadillac Escalade, BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and Range Rover. The question isn't whether it's well engineered, it's spectacularly executed. The question is whether you want a $113,000 sanctuary on wheels or a vehicle that communicates with you. We test the twin turbo V6's real world performance, explore the electronic intervention hierarchy, evaluate steering feel and brake pedal feedback, and determine who this flagship SUV is actually built for. Spoiler: if you care about chassis communication, Lincoln has politely shown you the door. 2025 Ford Expedition Review: They Fixed the Unfixable https://youtu.be/XL6tVpMIAKs ——————————————————————— // MY AMAZON STORE with my favorite things for drivers https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-4cc174af (this is an affiliate link) /// MERCH Pick up some sweet merch in our store! https://brian-makse-shop.fourthwall.com/ /// SUBSCRIBE Subscribe NOW to Brian Makse's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=brianmakse /// SOCIAL Instagram: http://Instagram.com/BrianMakse Twitter: http://Twitter.com/BrianMakse Facebook: http://Facebook.com/MakseAttack Spotify: https://sptfy.com/brianmakse Link In My Bio: https://makse.com/linkinbio/ /// MORE About Brian: http://makse.com/about /// WHAT I'M LISTENING TO Real AF With Andy Frisella https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/realaf-podcast Be sure to let us know what you think about this video and smash the subscribe button if you haven’t already!
