Lots of room for passengers and cargo, handles well for its size, stylish interior, smooth drivetrain, extensive list of luxury features.
Cons
A few low-grade interior materials, V8 runs out of steam too quickly, some confusing controls, outdated navigation system.
What’s new
The Navigator is now available in just two trim levels -- Luxury and Ultimate. Vehicles equipped with the Audiophile stereo now include separate tweeters for better sound quality. New safety features include a tire-pressure monitoring system as standard equipment and a Roll Stability Control feature (to help prevent rollover incidents) for the Advance Trac system. Sirius Satellite Radio is a new dealer-installed option.
Edmunds says
A spacious and stylish full-size luxury SUV, but the Escalade is more powerful and the Lexus LX 470 more refined.

I have owned my navi for 4 years now. We bought it with 30k miles and LOVED the car. The bells and whistles were amazing, it was a top of the line luxury SUV. Once my car hit 70k miles it fell apart!! Break Line ($900), plugs ($1100), transmission ($2000), air suspension twice ($1500), cadillac converters ($3000) and the mirrors no longer fold in and the rear window whipper doesn't … work anymore. I am so tired of putting money into this car. If you get one make sure you buy the extended warranty. These cars are know for having big problems. Now I'm upside down not only from the all the work I had done but now the dealership doesn't want to give me what my loan pay off is.... SADDENED

where do i begin,this is the best vehicle i have owned, the sense of comfort,safety,pleasure driving this vehicle especially when the whole family is aboard is a reminder why we chose the navigator,this vehicle is 5 years old and still gets looks and attention from people like it just rolled off the showroom floor. the chrome wheels still shine like new and the mineral grey paint is my … favorite combo.i recomend this vehicle to anyone considering to buy one i testdrove other suvs and this one clearly distinguished itself from the others.from the countless options to the classy luxury stance this vehicle has whether its parked or driving down the road is in a class of its own.
