Used 2021 Lincoln Navigator SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The Lincoln Navigator is available in three trims levels: Base, Reserve and Black Label. Each is powered by a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (450 horsepower, 510 lb-ft of torque) and comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

All Navigator trims can be had as long-wheelbase, or L, models. They add about 10 inches of length, expanding passenger and cargo capacity and increasing fuel tank capacity from 23 to 27 gallons.

Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional on most models. The exception is the regular-wheelbase Black Label, which comes standard with all-wheel drive. Highlighted features include:

Base
Comes very well equipped with:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Power running boards
  • Adaptive LED headlights
  • Adaptive suspension (can adjust to improve comfort and handling stability)
  • 10-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration
  • Digital gauge cluster display
  • Heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats
  • Heated second-row seats
  • Three-zone climate control

Every Navigator also comes with these safety features:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

Reserve
Adds features such as:

  • 22-inch wheels
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Illuminated power running boards
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)
  • Upgraded 24-way power-adjustable front seats
  • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Navigator and the vehicle in front)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Navigator and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

The Reserve trim level also unlocks two main option packages (both come standard on the Black Label trim):

Luxury package
Adds more luxury features, including:

  • 30-way power-adjustable front seats
  • Upgraded audio system with 20 speakers

Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow package
Ensures maximum towing capability and convenience with:

  • Heavy-duty radiator
  • Trailer backup assist (aids in positioning the Navigator's hitch close to the trailer)
  • Trailer brake controller (allows for remote adjustability of the trailer's brakes)
  • Trailer sway control (helps mitigate sway caused by high crosswinds)

Black Label
Tops the range, adding features such as:

  • Special 22-inch wheels
  • All-wheel drive
  • Curated interior color and trim packages
  • Extended maintenance plan
  • Complimentary car washes
  • Pickup and delivery of your vehicle for routine service with a free loaner vehicle
  • Optional Special Edition package (black exterior trim elements and unique wheels)

Which Navigator trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base Navigator is hard to pass up, but we think a handful of features on the Reserve make it worth the extra money. For example, the surround-view parking camera system and adaptive cruise control are very useful add-ons. There's also a giant panoramic sunroof standard on this trim level. You'll also need to opt for the Reserve if you want to unlock the Navigator's maximum towing capacity via the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow package.
