2025 Lincoln Navigator Preview – Consumer Reports

Regardless of your opinion on hulking full-sized, truck-based SUVs, you’ll have to admit that the Navigator makes a statement. It’s big. It has a big grille, and big, slabby sides, and an imposing cliff of a rear end. Lincoln has modernized a long-running design approach by squishing some features here (the headlights and rear quarter windows) and ballooning other features there (the grille and wheels), and adding little flourishes that a lot of automakers use to make something that’s the same look different. For the most part, though, these design tweaks—especially the optional 24-inch wheels—play to the Navigator’s bigness.

As for colors, don’t expect bedazzlement. A host of muted hues are available, including two whites, four grays, a black, a washed-out blue, and—for the more adventurous—a hazy brown color called sunrise copper metallic.

There are a number of different trim packages available, too, that each offer a different look. The Reserve Jet trim blacks out the wheels and grille, and adds black accent spears running the length of each side of the truck. There are now two Black Label treatments that include a more glittery grille and dark/wooden interior trim touches.

As before, both short- and long-wheelbase models are available.
