The 2020 Lincoln Navigator is an excellent choice for a growing family. It has a touch of style and design that appeals to most drivers. Here are some things to know about the 2020 Lincoln Navigator during your search for the perfect model for your next car purchase.

Seating for Eight

One of the most noticeable features of the 2020 Lincoln Navigator is its size. It's a large SUV, which is an excellent feature for anyone with a lot of passengers. It can fit up to eight people with three rows of seating, with storage space to boot. Even with that many people, every seat is still roomy and comfortable. You can use the Navigator for long trips without anyone feeling cramped. 

Cargo Space

The Lincoln Navigator has a lot of cargo space, too. Even with all of the seats up, you'll still have about 20 cubic feet of space behind the third row. With all the seats down, you'll have 103 cubic feet of space. That's more than most other SUVs in its class. If you like to travel with surfboards or other large items, the Navigator is one of the better options available on the market. 

Engine

Unlike many of its competitors, the 2020 Lincoln Navigator only comes with a V-6 engine. However, that V-6 is more than powerful enough to give the Navigator the level of performance that you'd expect from a Lincoln. It produces 450 horsepower with 510 pound-feet of torque, placing it within the performance range with many V-8s. Combined with a 10-speed transmission, the 2020 Navigator delivers a smooth and exhilarating ride that makes it fun to drive. 

Towing Capacity

With such a powerful engine, the 2020 Lincoln Navigator can tow a lot of weight. That makes it perfect for boating trips or moving long distances without renting a truck. When properly equipped with the Lincoln tow package, the Lincoln Navigator can tow up to 8,700 pounds. That's enough for a large boat and a trailer, as well as many other recreational vehicles or trailers on the market. 

High Safety Ratings

The 2020 Lincoln Navigator also received the highest level of safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: five out of five stars. It's designed with safety in mind, including the build of the frame and the placement of safety features. It also has a number of driver-assist systems to help drivers avoid accidents, such as a forward-collision warning system and a rear cross-traffic alert system. If you have young drivers who are just starting, then you can use Ford's MyKey system to set specific control limits to make driving safer and less distracting. This includes limiting the maximum speed and audio volume, among other options.
