Is the Lincoln Navigator a good SUV?

The 2021 Lincoln Navigator is a fantastic large luxury SUV. It’s a luxurious, deeper-pocketed version of the 2021 Ford Expedition. However, it actually employs the same engine as the Ford F-150 Raptor. Unlike the Raptor, the Navigator is flush with luxury appointments and seats up to 8 passengers.

If you’ve got over $75 grand to spend on a new luxury SUV, the 2021 Lincoln Navigator is a must-see. The 2021 model year for the Navigator is all about ‘if it’s not broken, don’t bother fixing it.’ There aren’t any notable updates for the 2021 Lincoln Navigator. Every feature carries over from the 2020 model. Which apparently isn’t a bad thing––if we go by the Navigator’s high score from U.S. News and World Report. In fact, it scored high enough to beat both the Cadillac Escalade and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz G-Class took second place

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is easily one of the most iconic vehicles on the road. It’s a formidable off-roader. However, it blends off-road prowess with one of the most opulent and luxurious cabins on the market. In addition, the technology offered throughout the 2021 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is top-of-the-line in every way.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the type of large luxury SUV where if you want it, you just want it. Its style, luxury, and testament to wealth are all reasons to buy a G-Wagon. But if you want a big luxurious family hauler, you may want to turn elsewhere for three-row SUV options like the 2021 Cadillac Escalade or the 2021 Lincoln Navigator.
