Revolutionary 48-Inch Panoramic Display

The Navigator's 48-inch panoramic display spans the entire length of the horizontal instrument panel, creating an immersive digital environment unlike anything else in the luxury SUV segment. This massive screen allows you to customize what information appears where, positioning your most important data in your direct line of sight.

The elevated design keeps your eyes closer to the road while accessing navigation, climate controls, or entertainment options. Multiple apps and functions can run simultaneously across the wide display, allowing passengers to enjoy entertainment while the driver focuses on essential driving information.

Advanced Voice Control Integration

The Lincoln Digital Experience supports both Google Assistant and Alexa built-in controls, allowing you to choose how you interact with your vehicle. These voice systems handle complex commands beyond basic music and navigation, including controlling connected home devices, setting calendar appointments, and sending messages.

When using Apple CarPlay, Siri voice control adapts specifically for driving scenarios. You can announce incoming calls, respond to messages using only voice commands, and share your estimated arrival time while navigating with Apple Maps, all without taking your hands off the steering wheel.

Pano Mode Entertainment System

A new Pano Mode feature activates when the Navigator is parked, extending video and gaming apps across both sides of the panoramic display. This transforms your SUV into an entertainment hub for family road trips or while waiting for activities.

The system supports apps from the Google Play Store, including video streaming services and productivity applications. You can surf the web using the Vivaldi Browser app, with Chrome coming soon in Beta, and connect a Bluetooth keyboard for easier typing when needed.

Seamless Wireless Connectivity

The Navigator eliminates cable clutter with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The 5G embedded modem provides fast connectivity throughout your journeys, supported by four years of Lincoln Premium Connectivity service included with purchase.

Multiple devices can connect simultaneously through dual Bluetooth pairing. This allows you to keep your phone connected for calls while a passenger streams music from their device, creating a flexible connectivity solution for families.

Real-Time Navigation Intelligence

Google Maps integration delivers real-time traffic updates, road conditions, and dynamic route suggestions directly through the Lincoln Digital Experience. The system displays navigation information on both the main panoramic display and the digital instrument cluster for optimal visibility.

Eco-friendly route options help you find the most efficient paths to your destination, while points of interest discovery makes it easy to find restaurants, gas stations, or attractions along your route.

Comprehensive USB and Charging Solutions

The Navigator features 14 USB ports, evenly distributed throughout all three rows, ensuring every passenger can keep their devices charged. Four ports in the second row and four in the third row mean long road trips never result in dead batteries.

A wireless charging pad accommodates compatible smartphones, located conveniently in the front center console area. For passengers requiring traditional charging, both USB-A and USB-C ports are available throughout the cabin.

Streaming and Audio Integration

SiriusXM with 360L comes embedded in the system, providing personalized radio experiences even when smartphones aren't connected. The Lincoln Digital Experience also supports streaming music, audiobooks, and podcasts through entertainment apps downloaded from the Google Play Store.

Popular services, such as Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, and iHeartRadio, integrate directly with the vehicle's interface. The available 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D Audio System creates an immersive sound environment that enhances any streaming content.

Phone as a Key Technology

The Phone as a Key feature allows you to unlock, start, and control various vehicle functions using your smartphone. This technology creates personalized driver profiles that automatically adjust seats, mirrors, climate settings, and entertainment preferences when you approach the vehicle.

Your preferences are saved to the cloud, so when family members use different devices, the Navigator recognizes each person and applies their customized settings instantly.

Lincoln Connect Remote Features

Through the Lincoln Way app, you can remotely start your Navigator, set climate pre-conditioning, and lock or unlock doors from anywhere with cellular coverage. The app also allows you to schedule service appointments and access your vehicle's health information.

Remote parking features help you locate available spaces in busy areas, while the app provides vehicle location services in large parking areas or unfamiliar locations.

Video Conferencing and Productivity Tools

The Navigator supports leading video conferencing apps that enable audio access while driving and display video feeds when parked. This feature addresses the needs of business professionals who require uninterrupted connectivity while travelling.

Productivity apps allow you to stay organized and manage tasks during downtime. The large display and keyboard connectivity create a mobile office environment when needed, without compromising safety while driving.
