In response to GM’s pending launch of not one, but three new (related) full-size SUVs, including the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon and Chevy Tahoe/Suburban, Ford has prepared a redesign for its luxury-orientated Lincoln Navigator, which according to a purportedly official document that surfaced online, will occur tomorrow, January 23.

Along with the text that outlines the changes for the 2015 Navigator, Lincoln itself posted a dark teaser of the large SUV on its Instagram page.

From what we understand, it will be a facelift and not an all-new model, sporting redesigned front and rear ends, and an updated interior that will benefit from FoMoCo’s latest tech goods.

More importantly, the document confirms previous rumors that Lincoln will introduce its 3.5-liter V6 turbocharged EcoBoost gasoline engine to the lineup, though, it’s not clear yet if it will replace or complement the existing 5.4-liter V8 engine.

You can read the release that was shared on FordInsideNews in full below.

Update: Reader Allan C. who tipped us the first time on the 2015 Navigator, sent us a second teaser photo released on Lincoln’s social media pages
