It ain't no Escalade, that's for sure.
Also, Escalade is faster and the Navigator only got 1 mpg better despite the EcoBoost V6.
The grill sucks.
Ouch.the grille has horizontal bars similar to those on newer Lincolns, but the resemblance is remote—it looks more like a chromed evolution of the long-dead Oldsmobile Bravada’s grille than it does the swoopy wings of the smaller MKC crossover
Nice back-handed compliment. It's kinda OK compared to some even more irrelevant competition! Great news.There’s no disguising the Navigator’s size or mass, but when the road curves, the 2015 version fumbles and flails around less than before. GM’s fresh SUVs feel nimbler (in part thanks to weighing a lot less), but the Lincoln can hold its head up in the presence of an Infiniti QX80.
I actually liked the Navigator back in 98 because it came with a new engine: the 5.4 DOHC which was putting out 300hp to GM's L31 Vortec 5700 at 255hp in the GMT-400 trucks. So that seemed cool. But once GM switched to the Gen III+ engines, Ford lost the powertrain advantages. And I think GM slowly began to pass them on the rest of the vehicle, as well (especially at the high end).
