Auto Spotlight: Lincoln Navigator
Some call the Navigator the automobile version of the Taj Mahal. With its spectacular style and large size, it is easy to see why. The ever-lavish Lincoln Navigator greets passengers with a stunning and indulging interior filled sophistication and plenty of charm. The Navigator by Lincoln was first introduced in 1998 and it marks a historical moment in the carmaker’s history. That year was the first time Lincoln ventured into the SUV / truck market. Earlier versions of Lincoln Navigator were also based upon the popular Ford’s Expedition, although the luxuriousness is to par with the Cadillac Escalade. Let’s find out more about the Lincoln Navigator edition in this auto spotlight!
Adaptive Suspension
As a brand, Lincoln is known for understanding that road conditions vary, and that is why the Navigator is designed to enable a confident and smooth driving experience. The 2018 edition has added adaptive suspension controls to improve the up-and-down movement of the wheels. This means you will not face major difficulties when navigating potholes and uneven surfaces. This new and improved system is controlled by six selectable Lincoln Drive Modes. Each mode helps decrease the stress of unforgiving driving situations, without sacrificing comfort for the passengers sitting inside.
Four-Wheel Drive
Whether you are driving on or off the road, the 2018 Lincoln offers true mastery of your journey with its 4×4 capability. The newly improved Navigator’s powertrain is designed to unlock and deftly apply the twin-turbocharged engine. You will be able to easily traverse rugged driving conditions! Involved in a trying situation? Don’t worry! The addition tow hooks and Hill Descent controls ensure that it will be easily overcome.
Panoramic Vista Roof® and Illuminated Grille
The 2018 Lincoln Navigator offers a spacious interior that figuratively invites the world into the cabin. Lincoln recognizes that some clients want to make the cabin even more expansive. Hence, the Navigator can accommodate a panoramic roof. By giving first row and second row passengers control of the retractable roof, your vehicle becomes more inviting for all to enjoy. Another feature that caught many potential SUV owners’ eyes is the illuminated Lincoln Star within the eye-catching new grille. The star logo is made to shine as you approach. It continues to shine even when you are driving, helping you make a bold statement.
