Overall Rating
The 2016 Lincoln Navigator carries forward the 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 engine that is powerful and provides great overall performance. The Navigator is quick but lacks in terms of the fuel economy that it provides.
Lincoln is basically Ford's way of saying “Luxury”, and the brand does a good job at that. However, the 2016 Lincoln Navigator lives up to the legacy and does more with the tech-loaded features it has. The 2016 Lincoln Navigator is available on sale at a price of $63,195, and even the base trim comes loaded with features. The top ten can reach up to $71,260 is a truly premium full-size SUV.
If you don’t do a lot of traveling in your vehicle, then the base Select trim should serve you fine. Given that you are fine with the standard 20” alloys. However, if you travel long distances regularly for business or pleasure, then going for the Reserve would be totally worth it since the upper trim brings better comfort for the passengers inside.

The 2016 Lincoln Navigator is a full-size luxury SUV, and it has all the bells and whistles you can ask for in a luxury car from the base trim itself. However, if you think you can use some more luxury than the regular customer then you can always go with higher trims. The SUV is available in two trims, namely Select and Reserve, where the base trim is offered at $63,195. Here is a list of the key features available with both the trims:

The above trims are available along with an option of a 2WD or 4WD and a normal Navigator or the one with an extended wheelbase, the Navigator L. However, with every added feature, you will be shelling out that much more money.

If you don’t do a lot of traveling in your vehicle, then the base Select trim should serve you fine. Given that you are fine with the standard 20” alloys. However, if you travel long distances regularly for business or pleasure, then going for the Reserve would be totally worth it since the upper trim brings better comfort for the passengers inside.
The 2016 Lincoln Navigator is equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 twin-turbo engine. This big engine with 380hp and 460 pound-feet of torque output ensure that you make long overtakes with ease. The car has good ride quality, which translates into better interior comfort, but for the driver, this does result in lower feedback from the suspension and steering wheel. However, the car is still planted for lane changes and mild levels of cornering.
The V6 engine is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission and delivers the power to the front wheels as standard. Along with that, there is an option to opt for an AWD variant. The Lincoln Navigator accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 6.5 seconds which is quite decent considering its curb weight.

For the price being paid, all the SUVs offer generously, but if we are looking specifically at the engine output, the Infiniti QX80 definitely is impressive with a combo of 400hp and 413lb-ft of torque. In comparison, the Lincoln comes in second in terms of power output, followed by the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class. But the Mercedes is the quickest of them all with 0-60 mph in just 5 seconds.
When compared to the MPG figures offered by the previous-gen Navigators, the 2016 model has improved a lot in terms of gas mileage. The 2016 Lincoln Navigator provides a fuel economy of 16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, which should be fine to cover you for all your adventures and errands. It all comes down to a combined mileage of 19 mpg.

If we were to compare the MPG and the power figures of these cars, then we would see that the more power the lesser the fuel efficiency. Thus the Infiniti QX80 with 400hp gives a combined fuel economy of 17 mpg, while the Lincoln Navigator gives 19 MPG and the Mercedes-Benz’s GL-Class gives the best in class mileage of 23MPG.
The interior of the 2016 Lincoln Navigator looks fancy at the first glance, but as you look closely, you will find some unsatisfying elements used across the interior. These are mainly leather upholstery and hard plastics. But this is for the Base model, and as you move to the ‘Reserve’ trim, the whole of the interior does change up for good.
 It is quite noticeable how similar the dimensions of these cars are. This is mostly due to the segment standard being followed by the manufacturers. With regards to the Navigator, the dimensions shown here are for the normal version, when you opt for the extended wheelbase, Navigator L, you will have more legroom to play with.

The hulking dimensions on the exterior have been efficiently transferred into the interior as well, resulting in spacious interiors.

The huge front grilles with the integrated square automatic headlamps along with the huge 22-inch alloy wheels complete the entire look of the vehicle. The Navigator also gets automatic wipers, a power liftgate, keyless ignition and entry, and an adaptive suspension system. The exterior design of the Lincoln Navigator looks dated but still holds its ground.
