What is luxury?
Superior quality, craftsmanship and materials — such as a hand-stitched bag versus a mass-produced one — are a few hallmarks.
But it’s also about attention, comfort, being taken care of — a carefully, genuinely hosted meal, for example. Or the emotional state that driving a luxuriously thought-out car leaves you in.
“It’s really about how an experience makes you feel,” says Michael Sabatini, general manager of Lincoln of Troy (lincolnoftroy.com).
Lincoln understands the concept of taking something familiar and elevating it. The newly introduced 2027 Navigator is the latest version of the brand’s full-size SUV, bringing updated technology, comfort features and interior refinements to a lineup that's long positioned itself as Lincoln’s flagship.
But the redesign focuses on the details that define a luxury SUV experience: upgraded materials throughout the cabin, a more advanced infotainment system and refinements aimed at making longer drives feel smoother and quieter.
The 2027 Lincoln Navigator arrives with rear-wheel drive as standard equipment across the entire lineup for the first time, spanning the Premiere, Reserve and Black Label trims, plus extended-wheelbase L models. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 producing 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic. Properly equipped, the Navigator can tow up to 8,700 pounds, and an adaptive suspension system is standard across all trims.
New for 2027: three exterior colors (Nocturnal Blue Metallic, Bronze Fire Tinted Clearcoat, Frosted Fig Premium Colorant), a 24-inch wheel option and an “Afterglow” interior theme. The Premiere trim includes a 48-inch panoramic display, massaging front seats, a 14-speaker Revel audio system and wireless charging. Black Label tops the lineup with 30-way front seats, premium leather, enhanced ambient lighting, concierge service, complimentary maintenance, and a new second-row pass-through for easier third-row access.
“There's an attention to detail with the Navigator that makes it feel special,” Sabatini says, “whether you’re driving across town or heading out for the evening. It reflects our appreciation for craftsmanship and creating memorable moments.”
