Christian Wardlaw | Feb 14, 2018

Lincoln introduces a completely redesigned Navigator full-size SUV in 2018, offered in standard and extended lengths and delivering plenty of space for people and cargo along with plenty of twin-turbocharged power for towing and hauling. The automaker is also offering new Lincoln owners a trial membership to CLEAR to skip long airport security lines, in addition to other previously announced membership benefits like vehicle pick-up and delivery service for scheduled maintenance.
