2016 Lincoln Navigator L Reserve Review: Great Power, Big Luxury, Small Price

[News Man]

The 2016 Lincoln Navigator L Reserve has all of the credentials to compete for the title of the best large luxury SUV in the US market, but where the competitors will run you close to six figures, the top of the line Navigator offers lots of power, lots of interior space and lots of luxury for less than the starting price of most competitors.

The Lincoln brand doesn’t get a whole lot of attention right now and that is a shame, because they make some very nice luxury vehicles which – in most cases – are less expensive than similarly equipped competitors. The 2016 Navigator L Reserve falls into that category, as it has the majority of the same luxury features as the other large SUVs in the segment, but the Navigator costs tens of thousands less.
My 2016 Lincoln Navigator L Reserve had a base price of $76,650, and when you add in the Ruby Red paint, the power moonroof, the all-weather floor mats and destination fees, the price as tested for this huge luxury SUV was $79,410. That likely seems like a huge price tag for someone who hasn’t looked to purchase a large luxury SUV recently, but the Navigator L is actually quite a bit less expensive than the closest competitors.

You're looking at an almost 2 year old vehicle--2016. The Cadillac Escalade has a V-8 engine, more horsepower, etc. IF you were talking about the 2018's, the Navigator price increase might shock you! Just remember the 2018 will be new, more costly and have early production issues. I would guess the 2018's 4X4 will hit beyond $90,000 fully equipped as they say--the L would cost more. Time will tell as the V-6 with higher RPMs + premium fuel requirements might be the turn off.
