The 2022 Lincoln Navigator has a gorgeous design, offers admirable performance, and impeccable convenience.

It seems like "luxury" is the favorite word in the entire automotive industry this year, as many car manufacturers have notched up their game with top-class designs. Well, that and "SUVs." Together, these two combine into a significant and admirable market offering one may find challenging to navigate.

If you're looking into buying a luxury SUV, you probably noticed quite a few names popping up. So, how can you know which one to choose? We personally recommend exploring Lincoln and its first-class SUV called the Navigator. This iconic brand decided to elevate its offering in luxury and traveling segments for 2022, updating its Navigator to meet the needs of contemporary drivers.

The 2022 Lincoln Navigator showcases gorgeous design, brings forth admirable performance, and offers impeccable convenience with its features and tech. But let us explore all these benefits in more detail to show you why we think the 2022 Lincoln Navigator may be a good choice for you.

The first thing you'll notice about the 2022 Lincoln Navigator — alongside the good looks — is a single powertrain option. This SUV comes with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivering 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. Because of such an output, Lincoln truly didn't need to introduce any other power option.

The 2022 Lincoln Navigator is simply a great performer with excellent responsiveness and acceleration. The 10-speed automatic transmission, adaptive suspension with road preview, heavy-duty trailer tow package, and trailer reverse guidance are only some features that compliment the impressive powertrain. Thanks to all these and a quality build, the 2022 Lincoln Navigator is stable and easy to handle, despite its large size.

Moreover, you can switch between five standard drive modes when on the road to get more control or more fun over your ride. These include Slippery, Excite, Conserve, Deep Conditions, and Normal. The sixth available is the Slow Climb drive mode, but it only comes with a heavy-duty trailer tow package.

Your driving experience with the 2022 Lincoln Navigator will also get improved significantly because of the advanced security features. We'll explore those in more detail later on.

The 2022 Lincoln Navigator is stylish inside out. There's practically no side or angle of this ride left without a luxurious element of some kind. Outside, this SUV offers a blend of smooth and sharp lines to make a powerful statement. Inside, it's all about extravagance, comfort, and convenience.

As an SUV of its class, the 2022 Lincoln Navigator is outstandingly spacious, giving not only enough room for passengers to fit comfortably but bring all their belongings with them. Although it's true that with all the seats up you may have less cargo room, you can always fold them down when the extra space is necessary.

By ticking the space box, the 2022 Lincoln Navigator moves on to comfort and luxury. The seats in this SUV boast premium leather in every trim and 30-way-adjustable and massaging functions in the front. You also get to choose various colors and material packages to your preference. Customization is a significant feature of this ride.

Another thing to like about the 2022 Lincoln Navigator is the sound-dampening technology and acoustic laminated door glass that keeps the noise out and improves comfort inside. In the quiet of the vehicle, occupants can enjoy the feel of premium leather, wood accents, supportive seating, and top-notch technology. There are also plenty of additional features, including an optional panoramic roof that ensures a beautiful view of nature when off-road.

The 2022 Lincoln Navigator probably wouldn't be that attractive even with all those top materials and features had it not had an exceptional tech to support modern drivers. At the center of the cabin is a 13.2-inch liquid crystal display that allows the drivers and the front passenger to see and operate driving and entertainment functions. The driver alone has a head-up display for more convenience, and the passengers in the rear also get their own screens.

The infotainment system in the 2022 Lincoln Navigator is generally sleek and easy to operate (and elegant, for that matter). The brand actually brags that this SUV is the first vehicle in the current offer to provide ActiveGlide, an intelligent system with advanced camera and radar inputs and multiple hands-free enabling features.

Additionally, the Navigator SYNC system allows drivers to connect to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and other apps. Amazon Alexa is also there to help you play music, get directions, check traffic, and much more without using your hands.

When it comes to the safety and driver-assistance features per se, the 2022 Lincoln Navigator offers the Co-Pilot 360, a suite including blind-spot monitoring, automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and more. So, in summary, the 2022 Lincoln Navigator simply has all the things a common driver needs for a pleasant and fun traveling experience — and then some.
