The Blue Oval wasn’t quite ready yet for a new iteration of the Lincoln Navigator so it did what most automakers do in its place to boost sales: it gave its full-size SUV a nip-and-tuck.
Lincoln actually first showed the 2015 Navigator in January, having released pricing in March, but it won’t go on sale until later this year, so today, it dropped another crop of photos and videos, while also announcing fuel economy figures.
There’s only one engine available, a 375hp 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 connected to a six-speed auto with the option of all-wheel drive.
Naturally, the most efficient version is the regular wheelbase RWD (4×2) model that returns an EPA estimated 16mpg city, 22mpg highway and 18mpg combined. The fuel economy numbers for the other editions of the Navigator are:
Regular wheelbase 4×4: 15 city/20 hwy/17 combined mpg
Long wheelbase 4×2: 15 city/20 hwy/17 combined mpg
Long wheelbase 4×4: 15 city/19 hwy/16 combined mpg
Along with the new EcoBoost engine that replaces the 310hp 5.4-liter V8, for 2015, the Navigator also gained redesigned front and rear ends, a new dashboard, tweaked chassis and a fresh assortment of equipment features.
Prices start from $62,475, including destination and handling. The Navigator’s prime rival is GM’s Cadillac Escalade.
