Lincoln SUVs

American brands are big proponents of meeting the demand for SUVs and crossovers in the USA. But if you want something a little more premium than the mainstream models, then perhaps an SUV from Lincoln is more your speed. They come in all shapes and sizes, sometimes offering space for up to 7 passengers in a luxurious setting.

The crossover segment is booming in the USA, and American brands are leading the pack with SUV models from Lincoln, Ford, and Cadillac selling in high numbers. The superior practicality and utility of these high-riders make them very desirable, but adding a certain flair for luxury and comfort means they are simply irresistible. Offered in various sizes for different applications, most include all-wheel drivetrains, though true 4-wheel-drive is rare. Still, they are great for camping or exploring with the whole family. If you’re shopping for an ideal family hauler, then a new Lincoln SUV or crossover might be the perfect fit. Here are some advantages and disadvantages to consider.

FAQs

What are the best Lincoln SUV models?

While the smaller cars in the lineup show some signs of cost-cutting, the Aviator and Navigator are both excellent options. The Aviator offers a hybrid variant for better gas mileage, while the Navigator has a long-wheelbase option to better fit the 7 seats it comes equipped with.

How much does a new Lincoln SUV cost?

These are premium cars, so prices can be high, but the Corsair is quite affordable at around $35,000. The hybrid is significantly pricier at a little over $50k. The most expensive models all bear the Navigator badge. The entry-level model goes for almost $80k, while the top trim levels of the Navigator L can see the price get as high as $110,000.

Does Lincoln make an SUV with a 3rd row?

Both the Aviator and Navigator come equipped with seven seats as standard. However, they are somewhat cramped in the smaller vehicle. The Navigator with the extended wheelbase offers the most spacious third-row seating.

Do Lincoln SUVs make good off-roaders?

Most models in the range offer AWD to better handle inclement weather and slippery roads, but only the Navigator and Navigator L can be had with 4-wheel drive. Despite this, as well as their impressive horsepower and torque, they are not really capable off-roaders. As such, there are no true off-road types of Lincoln SUVs.

How much can a Lincoln SUV tow?

Thanks to their potent powertrains, most Lincoln cars have decent towing capabilities. The Corsair can manage 3,000 pounds, while the full-size Navigator has an impressive towing capacity of 8,700 lbs in the base RWD configuration.
