The 20265 luxury Lincoln Navigator full-size SUV brings more signature features and standard technology for those who want only the very best. The Navigator is massive, and imposing – long, tall, and wide. It just oozes class with the giant grille and illuminated centre crest. High level luxury and technology is standard on the Navigator. A stand out is that amazing full-length upper digital display panel that spans the whole dash.

As on trend with many large SUVs , the Lincoln Navigator forgoes V8 power for a technologically sophisticated Ford EcoBoost 450bhp 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, mated to a 10-speed auto transmission as found in Ford’s high-performance Raptor pickup. In its highly tuned state, the V6 is more than adequate. All Canadian Navigators are equipped with all-wheel drive.

We tested a fully loaded 2026 Navigator Black Label Editon (based price from a whopping $153,000!) equipped with a plethora of options: including the stunning looking $2,500 Sunrise Copper metallic paint and the superb Black Label package.  The  added options came to $14,9750, making for a heady final price of $170,570! So, what does the Lincoln Black Label package offer? Instead of standard trims, the Black Label offers high concept “themes” called Invitation, Enlighten and Atmospheric that completely alter the cabin’s mood with exclusive colors, leathers, woods, and contrast stitching.  There are  Ultra-Premium Amenities sic has: 30-way Perfect Position driver and 28-way front passenger seats with Active Motion massage and power thigh extenders. The Second Row features Executive-style seating with heated, ventilated, and massaging captain’s chairs, plus an available large center console and dedicated screens.  The “Lincoln Rejuvenate” wellness modes, and a 28-speaker Revel Ultima sound system.  Also rounding  up the too long to list luxury features. Lincoln Black buyers also receive significantly upgraded customer care  with VIP-level services, Anytime Car Washes at authorized Lincoln Black Label dealerships for the lifetime of vehicle ownership and concierge pickup & Delivery and loan for when service is needed.

Interior wise, the Navigator offers an incredibly sumptuous cabin where no detail has been spared in the pursuit of perfection. We had the dramatic Atmospheric interior theme.  Overhead, a panoramic sunroof lets in the light, and at night color selectable ambient lighting illuminates the cabin to glorious effect. It is a cabin trimmed in high quality materials, with all occupant touch points covered in the most beautiful soft premium leather. The front seats are well bolstered and super comfortable with 30- way adjustment plus auto heating and cooling.

Technology wise Ford’s infotainment interface works via a 10-inch touchscreen with dedicated Lincoln graphics. It all works seamlessly, while a pushbutton gear selector frees up the front centre console. Safety features such as auto high-beam headlights, blind-spot detection, pre-collision assist, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection and more are courtesy of Lincoln’s Co-Pilot360. The Co-Pilot 360 suite of tech also can unlock and start the car remotely, connecting with the Lincoln Concierge system.

Lincoln’s Phone as a Key system also allows owners to use their phone as a key, instead of using a traditional key fob to unlock and start the car. With all seats in place, there’s a useful 546 L trunk. Fold the second row and cargo capacity expands to 2,925 L, this increases even more when the power-folding third row is flipped down.

 The retuned high performance V6 engine borrowed from Ford’s high-performance F-150 Raptor pickup – with 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque certainly does not make the Navigator a slouch. The smooth efficient 10-speed automatic transmission makes sure the Navigator  never feels stressed with turbo torque available from an early 3,000 rpm. On the highway, almost no noise enters the Navigators well insulated cabin. The Lincoln is best driven on the highway and wide urban streets, not the congested inner city where its ponderous size and bulk become obvious. Still, the on- board 360-degree cameras and the self- parking feature will help. The optional heavy-duty tow package enables the Navigator to haul up to 3,765 kg (8,300 lb). Fuel economy is just about right, but it is no fuel sipper.   

To sum up, the 2026 Lincoln Navigator Black Label SUV offers the best premium luxurious cabin around, cosseting in a way nothing else on the road is. The fantastic cabin and equipment levels – plus options make this luxury SUV amongst the very best you can buy. Sadly, the premium price of the Black Label package puts it out of reach for many, but is truly worth the cost if you can swing for it. Highly recommended as best in class.

2025 Lincoln Navigator Black Label Base Price: $153,000. Price, with options as  tested $170,5700 plus $2,595 destination and delivery.
