The Cadillac Escalade may have had its moment, but the 2025 Lincoln Navigator is ready to reclaim the spotlight. With a redesigned interior, updated tech, and a tighter trim lineup, Lincoln’s largest SUV returns with more polish and presence than ever. Let's take a look at the features of its base trim, the Reserve (find out what happened to the Premiere trim below!)
Key Takeaways
- Lincoln discontinued the Nav's Premiere trim for 2025; the Reserve model now starts the lineup.
- Reserve trims are $102,590 for the standard (short-wheelbase) Reserve and $105,580 for the long-wheelbase, as of November 2, 2025.
- Cabin upgrades include massaging second-row seats and a new screen layout.
What Changes Has Lincoln Made to the Navigator for 2025?
The 2025 Lincoln Navigator launches its fifth generation with refreshed styling, a larger footprint, and a more advanced interior. Subtle exterior changes include redesigned headlights, taillights, and a new Split Gate tailgate that opens in two sections. The SUV also grows slightly taller and wider, adding about 20 percent more rear cargo space.
Inside, a sweeping 48-inch panoramic display replaces traditional gauges and controls, combining driver information, infotainment, and a passenger screen into one clean layout. Second-row seats now offer massage functionality, and third-row passengers get heated cushions for the first time.
Two new Black Label themes expand your ability to customize your Navigator. Enlighten uses beige leather with gray stitching, laser-etched birch trim, and Espresso carpeting for a warmer, organic feel. Atmospheric blends off-white leather, gray suede, and copper detailing that extends to the exterior, where copper accents highlight the grille, badging, and 24-inch wheels.
The lineup also changes this year: Lincoln dropped the entry-level Premiere trim. Lincoln actually dropped the Premiere trim for 2025, making the Reserve the entry point in the Nautilus lineup (followed by the Jet and Black Label trims).
Differences Between the 2025 Lincoln Navigator Premiere and the Reserve
The Reserve includes 22-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, triple-zone automatic climate control with a built-in fragrance system, and heated, power-adjustable front seats. The interior also features a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seats, and a massive 48-inch panoramic display spanning the dash and an 11.1-inch touchscreen running Lincoln’s Google-based infotainment system with Alexa voice control. Sound comes from a 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system.
Two optional packages expand on the Reserve’s capabilities. The Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow package adds Class IV towing hardware, a larger radiator, a two-speed transfer case, trailer monitoring, brake control, and sway damping, giving the Nav up to 8,700 pounds of towing capacity. The Jet Appearance Package adds a sportier, blacked-out look with black 22-inch wheels, a black grille with illuminated Lincoln Star, and a black roof rack and trim.
