Whoever is running marketing needs some help. Why would they talk about something they're not ready to debut? We didn't hear a peep about the Tahoe/Suburban refresh until it was released.

Me too! I hope it is on the same technological level as the Escalade! The Navi since the 2018 model has great looks and a good engine, but I lacked some amenities as night vision camera, AR, digital rearview mirror 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseodiaga4 Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 Also any news about when the Navi is going to be shown? Also the Aviator hasn't debuted yet although we have seen camp-free prototypes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the Aviator hasn't debuted yet although we have seen camp-free prototypes The Chicago Auto Show in February would likely be the time and place to reveal the new Navigator and updated Explorer/Aviator. That would be around the time production of carryover 2024 Explorer/Aviator winds down to prepare for production of the updated 2025 changes. Ford may do the reveals via online streaming at another location prior to the auto show. Then have the vehicles parked at the show for the visitors to see in person.

Dlcorbett Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Ford doesn't have a rearview mirror, the expy has a rearview display if you hit the camera button while driving. Don't know if the navigator does this. I would like to see some of those features, and it would be good to debut those features. Also, please add air suspension, heated third row seats, and hybrid engine. If the looks hold up like the image on the dash of the aviator, my plan is to get a dark cherry reserve with jet pkg like the nautilus.

Agree but let's hope they start to change it! The Chinese Nautilus already has AR and from what I have seen there is a digital rearview mirror too (although a dealer-installed option) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The competition related to the cabin area appears to be only getting more intense, so I hope they will commit to upping their game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseodiaga4 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 would be nice that as the Chinese Nautilus you could use the passenger side panel to display the Navigation. also, wouldn't be a nice idea to offer a v8 in the new Navi? I know the 3.5l EB has more power that the Escalade 6.2l but I always read that people comment on that specific subject when comparing the too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nav is a much taller vehicle than the Nautilus. Those wonderful just-below-the-window Conti handles work fine on the Nautilus (and they are part of the reason for the Nautilus' great side look) even though you are noticeably reaching higher on the door to open it. On the Navigator, though, the reach would probably become uncomfortable even for adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlcorbett Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I wouldn't be surprised if lincoln tested it and found it unfavorable among the testers. Though I like the feature of the ha does in the window trim, I'd rather have soft closing doors as an added feature. Too many people slam my doors and it irritates me to no degree lol.

Andrew L Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 There are a few things Lincoln does not do across the board which I find odd. The height of the door handles on the Navigator makes sense but if the Navigator gets air suspension like the Aviator and lowers itself I could see that being a play. The other thing that is not consistant across the lineup is the placement of the power seat switches. All of them except the Nautilus have them on the door panel while the Nautilus has it on the side of the seat. This is however nothing new with Lincoln and it drives me crazy. In the 80s the Town Car Continental and Mark VII all had it on the door. In the 90s the Town Car and Continental had it on the door while the Mark VIII had it on the side of the seat. Enter the Navigator and LS in the late 90s it's on the side of the seat too. Enter the Aviator in 2003 and it's on the door, refreshed Navigator still on the side of the seat. I wish they would just have the entire lineup have the seat controls on the door Lincoln has done that a long time and it would be nice for some consistency. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ergonomics and controls inconsistency between the full sized trucks/SUVs and other vehicles drives me nuts. With F series being the cash (and volume) cow they pretty much get to do whatever they want and the so do the other teams. Simple things like having the audio steering controls on the same side would help. My F150 is on the right while the Nautilus is on the left. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Navi must have air suspension, all the competitors have it so there is no excuse o reason to not have it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
