Lincoln started the new year with a bang. The 2018 Lincoln Navigator was officially named the North American Truck of the Year. It’s the first time the company has been awarded this prestigious title in 24 years of existence.
The truck beat out competitors like the Chevrolet and Ford and won the title at the 2018 North American International Honor Show. It surpassed the runner-ups in categories such as design, innovation, driver satisfaction, and even value.
Around 60 journalists from the U.S. and Canada voted the winner of this year’s edition. According to the rules of the competition, any car manufacturer that re-enters the contest with the same car model is required to make drastic changes to the vehicle to qualify. A closer look at the car and it quickly becomes clear that the Lincoln Motor vehicle deserves the title – and then some.
The Leading Truck in North America
The 2018 Lincoln Navigator has a large interior that can accommodate multiple passengers. Its design is sleek and modern, and it integrates ten power outlets, just perfect for those long road trips across the country.
But perhaps the winning features of the Navigator lie under its hood, where a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine powers the vehicle. It goes up to 450 horsepower and has up to an 8700-pound towing capability, one of the highest in its class. An additional 10-speed transmission gives drivers and passengers a smooth riding experience
The board of the car stores some top of the line technology with the purpose of making the drivers’ life easier and any car ride safer. The drive mode lets owners adjust the vehicle based on weather or terrain to make driving more pleasant for passengers, but also to minimize any possible risks caused by the environment.
Extra Features
Two types of features set themselves apart: electronics and safety. On the electronics’ side, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator includes a variety of convenient perks such a console that you can control by Bluetooth or the Lincoln App that allows drivers to stay connected to their car at all times.
Regarding safety features, the standard package includes numerous functionalities that aim to make every car ride as safe as possible: lane-keeping systems, Heads-Up displays, or adaptive cruise controls.
Who Is It for?
Families are probably going to benefit the most from the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. While not explicitly marketed as a family car, it’s certainly family-friendly. However, its sleek style certainly doesn’t discourage other types of drives from becoming owners.
The Lincoln Navigator incorporates three rows of seats and additional cargo space behind the third row. It’s a dream car for families with a lot of members: everyone can fit, they have enough space to make the ride comfortable, and additional space for luggage if they’re planning a family trip.
The purpose of the interior design is to deliver comfort, with extra space in second and third-row seats for leg room. The cabin features tilt-and-slide second-row seats, and an automatically reclining third row, allowing some movement within the car to accommodate all passenger needs.
