Overall Rating
The 2014 Lincoln Navigator, as you expect, is plush and comfortable with plenty of space. The second-row seats are captain's chairs, and you have to opt for the split-bench. The interior technology is good too.
The 2014 Lincoln Navigator, as you expect, is plush and comfortable with plenty of space. The second-row seats are captain's chairs, and you have to opt for the split-bench. The interior technology is good too, with the option of rear-seat entertainment. Lincoln has priced the Navigator at an MSRP of $57,160, bringing it into competition with the Cadillac Escalade, Infiniti QX80, and the Mercedes-Benz GL450.
As the navigator comes in one trim, we recommend buying it. The full-size SUV comes with plenty, and we say keep the captain seats in the second row and to also opt for the rear-seat DVD entertainment system the 20-inch chrome wheels (if you want them). If you do not like chrome, the Monochrome appearance package, tones the amount of chrome down.

The 2014 Lincoln Navigator comes with one trim with two wheelbase options - regular and elongated wheelbase called “L”. The features are the same on both trims, including the same engine and both get two drivetrain options- rear-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive. The difference between the two is the additional length, the larger fuel tank, added cargo space, and the added weight.
