Walk up to the new Navigator and the vehicle immediately comes alive. The Lincoln logo is projected on the ground inviting you to step in. once inside the refined interior makes you feel comfortable like your slipping into a leather couch. The heavy use of wood accents and chrome mixed with leather reminds you that you’re in a whole new level of luxury.
