Overview
The 2012 Lincoln Navigator remains majorly unchanged as compared to the previous model year. However, Lincoln has added few interior features like dual-displays for rear entertainment system, HD Radio functionality and a 110-volt AC power outlet. The 2012 Lincoln Navigator price starts at $57,630 and an additional $925 is charged as destination fee. The 2012 Navigator L (extended wheelbase version) costs $59,795, excluding destination charges.
Featuring a single-trim lineup of the Navigator, the 2012 Lincoln Navigator MSRP can be an expense of $57,630-$60,530 this season. Having said that, it simply translates to the fact that the range-leader 2011 Lincoln Navigator 4X4 will cost you $2,900 more than the base 2011 Lincoln Navigator 4X2 for enhanced specs and assets.

Exterior6.0/10
The redesigned 2011 Lincoln Navigator exterior, with a longer wheelbase, a vehicle body that's 1.7 inches taller, and wider front and rear tracks than its predecessor, it's truly an SUV built for power and size. The exterior design is defined by three prominent horizontal character lines that run the length of the body. They divide it into upper and lower halves with a distinct separation of old and new where the chrome is toned-down and more in line with the other Lincoln vehicles.
The 2011 Lincoln Navigator is undeniably a big vehicle, but it doesn't have to be a pain to park. The new 2011 Navigator features Lincoln's signature 3-bar grille, which has long been synonymous with premium luxury. The hood and front fenders are sculpted to provide a more muscular appearance and offer engineering solutions that reduce weight while increasing strength. From the side, stacked headlights provide a low profile look, while fender-top turn signals visually extend the length of Lincoln's signature c-pillar.

Safety8.0/10
For frontal- and side-impact occupant protection, the Navigator received a perfect five-star rating from the NHTSA. As standard on the 2011 Lincoln Navigator, you'll find stability control (with a rollover sensor), traction control, antilock disc brakes with brake assist, front-seat side airbags, and side curtain airbags for all three rows. Under certain conditions, Trailer Sway Control uses stability control sensors to detect and minimize a trailer's tendency to weave. With the 2011 model year, parents can specify the speed limit and stereo volume for their teenage drivers using the programmable MyKey device. Other notable safety features include:

Final Verdict
The 2011 Lincoln Navigator is a traditional three-row SUV that has a long wheelbase, and ample amounts of interior room. Sitting at the top of the Lincoln SUV range, the Navigator protects its passengers from any weather conditions. No matter how wet or dry two of its engines, with more low-end torque than most trucks and SUVs, and a suspension system that grows up to 3 inches when loaded, make sure the road ahead is a smooth ride. With seating for up to 8 passengers, lots of storage areas and plenty of features, this is one of the best SUV's money can buy.
