Performance and Engine Specifications

The Lincoln Navigator is equipped with a robust twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine, which is a testament to the vehicle's engineering excellence. This engine is capable of producing an impressive 440 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque, ensuring that it delivers powerful performance in various driving conditions. The engine's direct injection fuel system enhances its efficiency, while the advanced Auto Start-Stop technology contributes to better fuel economy without sacrificing performance. With a compression ratio of 10.5:1 and dual exhaust systems, the Navigator not only performs efficiently but also provides a smooth and controlled driving experience that adapts to both the driver's mood and the demands of the road.

Twin-Turbocharged V6 Engine

The heart of the Lincoln Navigator’s performance lies in its twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine. This engine, shared with the high-performance Ford F-150 Raptor, represents the highest-output engine ever offered by Lincoln. The Navigator utilizes this powerful engine to deliver a driving experience that is both exhilarating and reliable.

Complementing the powerful engine is the sophisticated 10-speed automatic transmission, which is designed to optimize gear spacing and improve performance and fuel efficiency. This transmission, a collaborative development between Ford and GM, features a unique triple-clutch assembly on a dedicated intermediate shaft. This innovative design allows the 10-speed unit to fit into the same space as previous transmissions while providing smoother gear shifts and enhanced handling.
