Lincoln is the luxury division manufactured under Ford. Keeping the essence of America alive in every product, its vehicles offer top-of-the-line luxury. Henry M. Leland founded Lincoln in the year 1917 as a tribute to Abraham Lincoln. The company started producing the Lincoln Navigator around the year 1998, which was an enormous success and was their first full-size luxurious SUV. Recently, photographers captured and leaked a lot of pictures of the new-gen Navigator taken in Dearborn, Michigan, near the global headquarters of Ford.

With the internet clouding with leaked pictures of the Lincoln Navigator test mule, let's take a peek at the interiors of the 2022 Lincoln Navigator.

How Do The Interiors Of 2022 Lincoln Navigator Look?

Lincoln really hit it off after they updated the Navigator in the year 2018. The management made the right decision of changing the design and the dynamics for the people who wanted luxury and comfort. Now, the Lincoln Navigator has been competing against the best since the time it was introduced. The Cadillac Escalade offers amazing features and attributes at the same price, and they attracted people to it. Lincoln has answered all the questions by releasing a new model of Navigator alongside the Ford Expedition, both these vehicles share the same platform. We can expect the launch late this year or early next year as the 2022 models of the respective vehicle.

According to the rumors, the major changes that everyone wanted from the Navigator will be seen in the 2022 model, which is more focused on the interior. The 2021 and previous models seemed ancient when you compare them to the competitors. We also expected that the infotainment system is not only bigger but provides a lot of information and helps the driver control a lot of things, even the driver’s display is also updated. It’ll be easier for the driver to initiate cruise control and lane assistance. The driver’s display and the infotainment system should be synced with the updated Ford software that should help it work smoothly and uninterruptedly.

What Are The Changes In The Exteriors Of The 2022 Lincoln Navigator?

The change isn’t all that much on the outside other than a little redesign on the headlamps and tail lamps, level 2 autonomy, and changes in color option, which is both interior and exterior. What is certain is that there will be some minor changes in the front and rear of the Navigator in comparison to the 2021 version.

The prototype that was seen during the tests shows that the Navigator might have changed the tires, usually, the Navigator used Michelin tires but this time we can the photos show that the company used Goodyear Terrain AT/S tires, also the photos show that the driver positioning is improved and a dual exhaust system can be expected on the right side of the rear bumper. We expect minor changes as it is just a facelift of the 2021 model.

Engine And Performance Of The 2022 Lincoln Navigator

If the rumors are correct, then there will be no change in the engine department of the 2022 Navigator, and we can expect the same Hybrid F-150 PowerBoost that Ford introduced in 2021. Taking charge of the power delivery is a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 with a 10 gear automatic transmission which delivers a total of 430 HP and 570lb-ft of torque. Although everyone is curious about the Navigator, it is highly unlikely for the company to introduce a bigger engine like the V8 engine in the Cadillac Escalade which is what the audience prefers. The fuel efficiency shouldn’t be affected either as there is not much change under the hood. We expect the fuel economy to be around 16 MPG in cities, and we expect the highway to be 21 MPG, which when combined with a fuel tank of 23 gallons should give enough range.

The Navigator although a luxurious SUV, people have many more options at a similar price range, the Ford Expedition, Cadillac, and even Jeep Wagoneer is all set to launch soon, and these cars are a good alternative for Navigator, I guess we just have to wait for a couple of months to know what exactly does the 2022 Lincoln Navigator offers.

Although we don’t have an official date of release, we can expect it to launch somewhere late this year or early 2022. The prototype photos suggest most of the complete redesign and are undergoing a lot of tests. Based on the updates and the prototype photos we can deduce that Lincoln isn’t trying to redesign the car completely but make it fresh enough to keep up with the time as it's competing against some of the best out there. In order to make sure that the Lincoln Navigator survives the market, some crucial changes had to be done, and the Navigator has it all now. Still, we can't give any certainty till Lincoln releases any news.
