Navigator offers genuine Dark Ebony or Anigre wood trim on the console and upper door panels, which is "bookmatched" so the grains are precisely aligned. For example, the coin-tray cover is laser cut from the center console wood trim for perfectly matched wood grain.
Such details as satin-nickel accents on the center stack, binnacle inserts and door trim and chrome accents on cup-holder rings, steering wheel and door releases speak to Lincoln Navigator's fine craftsmanship, Lau maintains.
As for Navigator's seats, Lowell Lampen, the manager of SUV seats, says a key to seating comfort is providing a soft cushion as soon as customers sit down and then balance that initial feel with firm support making seats comfortable for long trips.
Power-adjustable pedals and memory functions enable drivers to fine-tune their positions in those seats, which also offer next-generation heating and cooling. Even the seat frames were refined to improve comfort by eliminating the vibration from the floor.
This premium seating extends to the optional 40/20/40-split second row seat and 60/40-split third row, which fold to create a flat load floor. The second-row seats feature new mechanisms that enable one-hand fold-and-tumble operation to access the third row. For increased visibility, the second-row head restraints fold forward 90 degrees to improve driver rear view.
Navigator's third-row seat folds flat into the floor for added cargo space, and the optional PowerFold third row (which now has side-mounted pistons for better visibility) opens up the cargo space at the touch of a button.
The voice-activated DVD-based navigation system features a 6.5-inch touch screen "designed for improved clarity" and incorporates text-to-speech technology that reads and communicates directions and street names in three languages.
Navigator offers a 600-watt THX II Certified premium audio system with six-disc CD changer and 14 speakers. A power amplifier is mounted behind the center stack, and a center speaker array is mounted above the center stack for optimum sound clarity and quality. For even more sound choices, SIRIUS satellite radio is available, as is an integrated MP3 audio jack.
If rear passenger entertainment is in order, Lincoln Navigator has an optional entertainment system with a larger eight-inch screen and two wireless headphones.
Navigator for 2007 features a stiffer frame for improved handling and decreased susceptibility to squeaks and rattles, and an all-new independent rear suspension (IRS).
The new IRS features a five-link design, with the fifth link controlling fore/aft movements while the short and long arms control lateral forces. This is said to allow for greater control of wheel movement, as well as enabling lighter suspension components for improved response.
