Lincoln had a feeling that the time is ripe to release pricing for its facelifted Navigator so it announced today that the bog SUV will start from $62,475 for the 4×2 model, including destination and delivery charges, when it goes on sale in the States early this fall.
You can read all about it in our posting here (we also did a poll with the Escalade here) but to sum up the changes for the 201MY, it gets a brand new face along with some tidying up of the rear end on the outside, a new instrument panel, center console, steering wheel and fresh tech inside, while the 310hp 5.4L V8 was replaced with a 375hp 3.5L turbo V6 connected to a six-speed auto.
The base edition has a push-button start, SYNC with MyLincoln Touch connectivity system, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert, and an LED-backlit instrument cluster with tachometer, trip odometer, compass, outside thermometer and message center as standard among other features.
Moving up the trim range, the Reserve Package gets hand-wrapped leather and stitched instrument panel, armrests and console, in addition to leather seats, the Lincoln Drive Control with continuously controlled damping, 22-inch polished alloys and Ziricote wood trim. The MSRP for the rear-wheel drive version of the Reserve Package is $69,975, and for the 4×4, $72,900.
For those who aren’t satisfied with the space offered by the regular Navigator, Lincoln offers a longer version with a 131-inch wheelbase (versus 119 inches for the standard wheelbase) and a total length of 222.3 inches (versus 208.4 inches), with pricing starting from $64,640 for the 4×2 (RWD) and $68,215 for the 4×4, including destination and handling.
