Lincoln teases 2025 Navigator SUV as the brand prepares to expand its growing portfolio of revamped SUVs to combat a growing pool of rivals in the luxury segment.
Lincoln teased the 2025 Navigator ahead of its debut on August 15th.
The Lincoln Navigator continues to be the brand’s flagship and while it’s currently lagging behind the Cadillac Escalade in sales, it’s still a potent contender in the full-size luxury SUV segment.
Lincoln is out to prove that the 2025 Navigator can shift the narrative and bring more sales to the brand while also attracting younger buyers to the brand as Lincoln attempts to inject more vigor into the brand’s lackluster sales
Navigator refresh has more personality
The brief teaser video revealed that the 2025 Navigator will be getting a redesigned interior and reworked exterior styling.
The brief teaser video that Lincoln released didn’t reveal too much, but it appears to confirm that the 2025 Gator will get a reworked front grille with a new illuminated element that runs across the center of the grille piece. This new illuminated slat compliments the existing light-up emblem and builds on the illuminated wings look that Loncoln has become known for in recent years. Look for the rest of the exterior to get updated too but we have to wait until Lincoln releases more information to find out what else is in store in that category.
In the meantime, the video also confirms that the interior will be redesigned with the ignition button and the piano-style keys for the shifter being relocated to the center console while the steering wheel gets a cleaner look and the dashboard also gets updates. Look for the setup to be somewhat similar to the Lincoln Nautilus with the Navigator perhaps being the most expressive model in the range when it comes to its use of screens and materials. There’s no word what’s under the hood either, but look for the Gator to continue getting its motivation from a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that makes 440 hp when equipped to the 2024 model. The 10-speed automatic will also most likely be carried over too which is fine since it’s a dependable unit in the outgoing model.

When will we see the 2025 Navigator?
The 2025 model will have big shoes to fill when compared to the 2024 model.
Lincoln says that it will be unveiling the 2025 Lincoln Navigator on August 15th with the SUV making its way to dealer lots next year.
It remains to be seen if the SUV can claw back ground against its chief rival, the Cadillac Escalade with that model also getting a refresh and an all-electric version in the near future to help expand its appeal to customers. As for the Navigator, it will be interesting if Ford uses the 2025 model as an opportunity to make a hybrid model which would build on Ford’s recent plan to expand its presence in the hybrid vehicle market while also allowing the big SUV to get a few extra miles per gallon at the gas pump too.
