2021 Lincoln Navigator

The 2021 Lincoln Navigator is offered in three majestic trim levels, namely Standard, Reserve, and Black Label. All these variants have Tri-zone automatic climate control, Adaptive LED headlights, 10-inch infotainment touchscreen, Heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats, Heated second-row seats, and Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers as the common highlight features.

The Reserve trim adds a head-up display, a panoramic sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, and surround-view parking cameras on top of the base trim. The top-of-the-line Navigator Black Label comes with all the luxury that Lincoln has to offer with a Chrome Grille, Curated interior color and trim packages, 22-inch Ebony Black Paint Wheels, Heated side mirrors, LED fog lamps, and integrated Lincoln's proprietary Lincoln-Connect.

The 2021 Lincoln Navigator gas mileage is quite good for a vehicle of this class and size. In cities, the fuel economy is rated at 16 mpg, while highway miles are accounted for at 21 mpg, and combining these figures yields 18 mpg. A 23.2-gallon gasoline tank that is standard on the 2021 Lincoln Navigator allows it to cover as much as 487.6 miles in a single fill.

With a lighter curb weight than competitors, the BMW X7 offers the best fuel economy at 22 mpg combined. On the other hand, the GLS-Class is more fuel-efficient than Navigator by offering 3 mpg more than Navigator in combined scenarios. Cadillac's expansive fuel tank ensures that it can drive for longer distances without stopping at a gas station, but it's least fuel-efficient among its competitors. 

The 2021 Lincoln Navigator interior exudes luxury providing seats covered in high-end leather for an outstanding plush feel and featuring adjustable massage functions that use air chambers to streamline your travel experience.

While it gives all of its competitors a run for their money regarding seating, the Cadillac Escalade offers more space for the first row than the Lincoln Navigator seats. The Navigator seats provide sufficient wiggle space inside the vehicle but do not outshine any metrics and give balanced space to all passengers. For entertainment and infotainment, Lincoln Navigator features a 10-inch high-resolution LCD touchscreen with a touchpad, along with with a 14-speaker Revel premium sound system. A cargo room of 19.3 cubic feet ensures that one can pack and go for long trips without any concerns.
