The All-New Lincoln Navigator, a seven-seat flagship sport utility vehicle (SUV) newly launched by FL Auto Korea, is a product that maximizes space and comfort. It has a massive size of 5,340mm in length, 2,070mm in width, and 1,955mm in height, with a wheelbase (axle-to-axle distance) reaching 3,110mm.

The first row features a 48-inch large panoramic display and an 11.1-inch touchscreen panel arranged as if wrapping around the driver. Equipped with Perfect Position seats, the driver's seat offers 30-way power adjustment and the passenger seat 28-way. Ventilation and heating functions, as well as an elaborate massage function, are applied as standard.

The second row consists of independent seats, allowing occupants to enjoy the same functions as the first row, including power adjustment, ventilation, heating, and massage. In addition, the third row is equipped with heating and power reclining functions. The seatback folds in a 40-20-40 split ratio, allowing long cargo to be loaded freely even while passengers are seated in the third row.

For the first time in the brand's history, it has adopted a split design in which the upper section, occupying three-quarters of the tailgate area, and the remaining lower section open independently. The lower door can withstand a load of up to 227kg, allowing it to be used not only for loading and unloading cargo but also as a resting space like a bench.

The Lincoln Navigator was first launched in North America in 1997, pioneering the full-size SUV segment. After being introduced to the domestic market as the fourth-generation model in 2021, it has returned as the fully redesigned fifth-generation model five years later. The 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivers a maximum output of 446 horsepower and peak torque of 70.5 kg·m. A 10-speed automatic transmission, a four-wheel-drive system, and adaptive suspension with continuously variable damping control support strong yet smooth driving performance.

The advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) is anchored by Lincoln Co-Pilot 360 Drive 2.0, which integrates a forward collision avoidance assist system, adaptive cruise control, and lane centering assist. Functions such as "Turn Signal View," which shows footage of the adjacent lane when the turn signal is activated, and "Intersection Assist," which detects oncoming vehicles when turning left, have also been added.

Inside the vehicle, a high-end "Revel Ultima" 3D audio system composed of 28 speakers provides voluminous sound. It applies a panoramic "Vista Roof" to enhance the sense of openness while being designed to block external noise and exposure with acoustic glass and privacy glass.
