Lincoln's flagship SUV has received a styling update for 2022 which includes a reworked grille and new exterior lighting elements. The interior has been enhanced with a new infotainment display with updated Sync 4 software, and two new design themes. The Central Park design theme includes interior trim with a laser-etched map of the famous park's pathways on the instrument panel while the Invitation theme sports open-pore Kai wood trim with an overlayed geometric motif as well as black leather upholstery with brandy-colored stitching. Lincoln's new semi-autonomous driving mode—called Active Glide—will also make its debut on the 2022 Navigator.

Pros
Powerful twin-turbo V-6,
palatial interior,
upscale styling.

Cons
Fuel efficiency could be better,
large size inhibits maneuverability,
stiff ride.
