2022 Lincoln Navigator Comes with more luxury & tech

New functions of autonomous driving, connectivity with Alexa, and comfort elements

The current generation of the brand’s flagship Lincoln Navigator was without a doubt the turning point that showed us the profound transformation at the product level that was to come. Today, four years after its arrival on the market, the titanic SUV is updated with the aim of not giving ground to the increasingly intense competition.

What’s happening?

Lincoln introduces a mid-life facelift for its gigantic Navigator, which for 2022 shows some very minor cosmetic updates, but hides a very robust list of convenience, connectivity, and safety equipment.

Outside, the changes are barely perceptible; the grille is larger, the frame now extends below the license plate space, while at the rear, the skulls were redesigned to now offer 3D viewing.

Actually, in this section there are no changes, it maintains the already known V6 Ecoboost powertrain, and although it is a very powerful and capable power plant, it is somewhat disappointing that the brand has not been encouraged to incorporate the hybrid system that He already uses the Ford Lobo Hybrid.

  • Engine – V6 3.5-liter Ecoboost
  • Power – 440 hp
  • Torque – 510 lb.-ft.
  • Transmission – 10-speed Automatic
  • Traction – 4WD

The adaptive suspension now has a feature that monitors the way to ensure a comfortable ride no matter the circumstances. In addition to using the steering, suspension, acceleration, and braking information, a camera monitors the road up to 500 times per second, with which the suspension can vary the setting up to 100 times per second and thus mitigate any impact that may cause discomfort.

Lincoln Navigator 2022: Safety

The great novelty is the incorporation of the Active Glide autonomous driving assistant (an evolution of the systems: ACC, lane-keeping, and signal recognition) that allows driving without the need for driver intervention on roads previously mapped by the navigation system. It works much like the Cadillac Super Cruise.

Currently, there are already more than 130,000 miles (210,000 km) of roads called Hands Free Blue Zone, where the driver will see in the cluster of instruments that the detected lanes light up in blue and that is where he can activate autonomous driving. It should be noted that a camera pointed at the driver will check at all times that he is paying attention to the road. That is to say, that recklessness of falling asleep while the car moves alone, will not be able to be replicated in the new Navigator 2022.

Additionally, the Co-Pilot360 2.0 ++ system now offers intersection assist, which detects when an oncoming car is about to turn, as well as an improved parking assist.
