140-Character Blurb

The 2025 Lincoln Navigator L is a full-size luxury SUV with ample space, surprising new luxury features, and impressive capability.

Cons

Power, Ride and Handling

Driving Impressions

As large as the 2025 Navigator L is, it’s surprisingly easy to maneuver, and you’ll never be caught wanting more power. The twin-turbocharged V6 engine and standard 4-wheel drive (4WD) provide the pep in a refined, elegant way, rarely roaring loud enough to intrude on conversation even under heavy acceleration.
The suspension even does an admirable job of handling the corners with composure. That’s because it’s not just reacting, but scanning the road ahead and anticipating what’s coming, adjusting the damping in real time.
Behind the wheel, the huge dash-spanning screen sits just below the windshield, making it easy to stay apprised of navigation or other information without taking your eyes far from the road. The BlueCruise system can make that even easier, taking much of the strain off the driver on longer trips by offering hands-free driving on certain mapped roads. It doesn’t have as much coverage as GM’s Super Cruise, and it’s more prone to kicking out of assist mode when it can’t find the lane markings, but it does an admirable job in most circumstances.
Fuel Economy
Despite its extra size, the 2025 Navigator L achieves the same fuel economy as its smaller sibling. At 17 mpg combined, the Navigator L is in the middle of its class, with the Escalade at 16 mpg combined and the Lexus LX at 19 mpg combined. While the Navigator L isn’t the most efficient large luxury SUV, it does well considering its towing and hauling capabilities.

Extended Exterior

Exterior

You’d be forgiven for not immediately noticing the 2025 Navigator L is all-new, and that’s not because the sheet metal hasn’t changed. It’s just that the changes are subtle, and the look is still unmistakably Lincoln. Large LED lighting front and rear, including the nose-spanning light bar, helps cue the informed observer, as do the fender accents that flow onto the doors, accentuating the body character line that traces the Navigator L’s considerable length.
By default, the Navigator L comes with 22-inch wheels, with 24-inch wheels available. That might sound comically large, but on the Navigator L, these large wheels simply look proportionate.

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Lincoln Rejuvenate 
This next-generation spa system is all about indulgence. By blending scent, massage, sound, and soothing imagery, it creates a calming, immersive experience that engages the senses and offers some respite from a long day behind the wheel.
Interior Design 
Step inside and you’ll notice the craftsmanship right away. The cabin is designed thoughtfully with real wood trim and ultra-premium Wollsdorf leather, offering a space that’s both elegant and inviting.
48-inch Display 
The massive 48-inch panoramic screen stretches across the dash, delivering crisp visuals for both driving info and entertainment system access. Its high placement also helps keep your eyes closer to the road.
Unique Steering Wheel 
The redesigned steering wheel isn’t just stylish, it’s smart. A flat bottom makes getting in and out easy, while a flat top keeps your view of the display and the road clear. It’s also heated and leather-wrapped as standard.
Black Label Atmospheric 
The Navigator’s Black Label Atmospheric edition makes a bold first impression. It features exclusive design touches like 24-inch Radiant Copper-painted wheels, copper-toned accents, and a refined interior theme that ties it all together.
BlueCruise 
Although it doesn’t have the massive coverage of alternatives, the BlueCruise hands-free driving system does a good job when it’s available.

Superior Interior

Interior

The headliner for the in-cabin upgrades for the new Navigator L is a new feature called Rejuvenate. The Rejuvenate experience is meant to be used when the Navigator L is parked — apparently a common use case for Navigator owners. These 5-minute or 10-minute sessions combine soundtracks, visual cues on the vehicle’s screens, aromatherapy via Lincoln Digital Scent, and a range of massages — including heated or cooled massages, depending on the mode chosen. At launch, there are three themes for the Rejuvenate experience: waterfall, aurora borealis, and elemental.
The Navigator L’s standard 24-way power-adjustable driver&#8217;s seat and 22-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, 48-inch panoramic display, and 28-speaker Revel audio system power that spa-like experience. Black Label models get 30-way power-adjustable seats.
Second-row accommodations are anything but second-class in the Navigator L, with up to 42 inches of leg room and more than five feet of hip and shoulder room. Choose the available Power Tailored seats to get heating, ventilation, powered adjustment, and massage functions in a pair of second-row power-folding captain’s chairs. If you’d rather have a bench seat, a semi-powered one is also available.
The third row offers a 40/20/40 split-folding bench seat, optional seat heaters, and up to 43.5 inches of leg room — that’s right, there’s more legroom in the third row than the second.
Where the Navigator L flexes its extra size is in the cargo area. Behind the third row, there’s 36.1 cubic feet of cargo space, almost double that of the non-L model, and just about on par with its primary competitor, the Cadillac Escalade ESV, which offers 41.5 cubic feet behind the third row. The Navigator L’s total cargo space of 121.6 cubic feet is likewise a bit smaller than the Escalade ESV’s 142.8 cubic feet. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer L offers similar space at 44.2/112.9 cubic feet.

KBB Editors' Overview

The <a href="http://www.kbb.com/lincoln/">Lincoln</a> Navigator L is the larger, even roomier version of the company’s trend-setting SUV, the vehicle that established the full-size luxury SUV market. Now in its fifth generation, the Navigator marks another “W” with the Navigator L, taking the nameplate to a more luxurious, high-tech level than ever before.
At the same time, the Navigator L is as large and capable as ever, too. Like its Cadillac Escalade ESV alternative, the Navigator L is ideal for those who need both ample passenger space as well as plenty of room for cargo. Don’t let the crisp, clean exterior design fool you, either — the Navigator L is still as happy to tow a boat or camp trailer as it is to park in the executive lot.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-luxury-full-size-suvs/">full-size luxury SUVs</a>, including the Lincoln Navigator L.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

In the previous generation, the entry-level Reserve trim was the bestseller, and we expect that will be true of this fifth generation. That said, both the Reserve and the Black Label trims put the Navigator L into heady territory, especially in terms of starting price.
The Cadillac Escalade ESV, for example, starts more than $10,000 below the Navigator L at about $93,000, although Escalade pricing also extends considerably beyond the most expensive Navigator L. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is even more affordable, starting at $87,000 and change. The Lexus LX is actually marginally more expensive in base form than the Navigator L, and it too goes beyond the Navigator L’s top price. In the end, the Navigator L’s six-figure price still puts it near the middle of its competitive set, making it a relative value.
Before buying a new Navigator L large luxury SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. The Lexus LX usually has the strongest resale values in this class. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Under the Hood

All versions of the 2025 Navigator L employ a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6. Output is a claimed 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. Four-wheel drive is standard, as is a 10-speed automatic transmission. A heavy-duty trailer towing package is available that increases towing capacity to up to 8,700 pounds, depending on configuration.
Warranty
Lincoln’s standard new vehicle limited warranty offers coverage for four years/50,000 miles, while the powertrain warranty is good for six years/70,000 miles. This coverage is typical within the luxury SUV segment. Roadside assistance is available for as long as you own the vehicle.
Safety Ratings
The 2025 Lincoln Navigator L hasn’t yet been rated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). Previous models received NHTSA&#8217;s maximum 5-Star overall rating.

What's new for

The 2025 Navigator L is all-new for 2025, although it does carry forward the familiar twin-turbo V6 engine from the previous generation. This time, the updates are focused on the design and luxury aspects of the Navigator, which pay off with new and distinct spa-like features, upgraded materials, and an updated-yet-familiar look.

The 2026 BMW 7 Series large luxury sedan is a masterpiece in many ways.

<ul>
<li>Not a resale-value champ</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

We especially love the 536-horsepower V8 in the 760i xDrive. It sounds glorious and its power delivery is just as wonderful. BMW says this car can sprint from a standstill to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds &#8212; a feat that would please most sports car owners. If you’re going to drive a flagship luxury sedan in such a manner, this BMW is the one to have, which is exactly the conclusion reached by about half of all 7 Series buyers.
For a little performance context, the 496-hp Mercedes-Benz S 580 hits 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. Even the most modest BMW 740i will still hit 60 mph in 5.2 seconds, which really isn’t slow at all, and similar to the rest of the class.
Just like a typical flagship sedan, the 7 Series can be super-luxurious, extremely comfortable (an air suspension is standard), and can lay on all sorts of gadgetry to help pass time on long trips. Yet it’s always had an edge, a different personality waiting to come out whenever the accelerator pedal is pressed hard and the steering wheel is turned with a bit of gusto. Select the Sport driving mode, and the responses and agility of the 7 Series seem more like those of the compact 3 Series than the anticipated attributes of a 2.5-ton palace on four wheels.
The 750e xDrive plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) makes a healthy total of 483 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The popular 760i xDrive achieves 20 mpg in combined city/highway driving, just one mile shy of the Mercedes-Benz S 580 4Matic. The 740i returns 28 mpg combined, listing one mile per gallon with all-wheel drive. The 750e xDrive PHEV can run for 35 miles on battery power alone.
The all-electric version of the 7 Series, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/i7/">i7</a>, is reviewed separately.

Dramatic Exterior

Love it or walk away slightly mystified, the 7 Series definitely has its own look going on. It works for us. All in black, with black wheels and a black grille, we could imagine such a car being a star turn in a high-budget Netflix thriller series set in Germany. Other color choices include Frozen Tanzanite Blue Metallic ($5,000) and two-tone paint schemes.
Sizewise, the current 7 Series is about five inches longer than its predecessor, about two inches taller, and almost a couple of inches wider. It’s big and imposing; BMW imports only the long-wheelbase version of the 7 Series into the United States. Mercedes-Benz does the same with the S-Class.

iDrive 
We’ve found BMW’s infotainment operating system to be excellent and user-friendly, and will obey voice commands. The 7 Series comes standard with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, wireless charging, and over-the-air update capability.
Sky Lounge LED Panoramic Roof 
A standard feature in the 7 Series, this is a huge glass roof with thousands of LEDs set inside, creating a series of interesting patterns.
Luxury rear seating 
Even though the 7 Series is enjoyable from the driver’s seat, this kind of car is expected to provide lavish accommodation for rear passengers. An optional package brings heated/ventilated/massaging seats with powered adjustment.
Bowers &amp; Wilkins audio 
It’s an expensive option, but we think this 1,965-watt, 40-speaker surround-sound system (including speakers set into the front headrests) is beyond superb. “Loud and clear” only begins to describe it.
Theater Screen 
Dropping down from the ceiling, this massive 31.3-inch, high-resolution display is a must-have option for VIPs ensconced in the rear seats. It’s compatible with streaming services and Amazon Fire TV, comes with the Bowers &amp; Wilkins system, and a rear window shade that closes automatically when the screen is deployed.
Parking Assistant Professional 
This optional self-parking feature includes a 360-degree camera system, illuminated grille, plus a drive recorder and a remote theft recorder. We think it’s well worth considering.

Majestic Interior

Successive generations of cars tend to grow larger. We did a little digging and found that this generation of 7 Series has about an inch less rear legroom than before. But 43.3 inches is still a lot of real estate in which to stretch your legs.
Everything is put together in a suitably high-class manner. This cabin is the place where fine leather meets smart tech (which can change the mood of the entire car), then gives everyone a comfortable place to sit. Who needs a Rolls-Royce? The 7 Series offers self-closing doors and some of the best massaging seats on which we’ve ever rested our weary bones.
This is also the most screen-tastic 7 Series ever. A large unit up front (the BMW Curved Display) contains a section for driver information as well as an infotainment touchscreen. Even the rear seats have screens in the door panels for climate control.
The BMW Individual Composition program offers buyers a wide range of leathers and wood trim to personalize their new 7 Series to a greater degree.
Trunk space is 19.1 cubic feet, one of the biggest in the class.

Indulgence, presence, prestige, technology, and a wide streak of driver appeal all converge in the 7 Series. This flagship sedan demonstrates that <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/">BMW</a> can do luxury just as well as the next celebrated German marque and still add a certain spice to the experience. We’re big fans of the 7 Series, not just because it does so many things right, but also because it steers away from blandness.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-full-size-cars/">luxury full-size cars</a>, including the BMW 7 Series.

The 2026 BMW 7 Series has a starting sticker price of $100,475, with the range-topping 760i xDrive kicking off at $125,875.

&nbsp;

The majority of 7 Series buyers go for the 760i xDrive, which we’re happy to recommend.
Choosing a car from this class is a great conundrum to have, because rivals include the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/s-class/">Mercedes-Benz S-Class</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/panamera/">Porsche Panamera</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/g90/">Genesis G90</a>, plus the new-for-2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a8/">Audi A8</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/ls/">Lexus LS</a>.
Before buying a new 7 Series large luxury sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. If it matters at this level of expenditure, the LS, Panamera and S-Class enjoy stronger resale values. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<li>Big luxury</li>
<li>The ability to thrill</li>
<li>Lots of tech</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>No big changes this year</li>
</ul>

BMW vehicles are renowned for their handling, yet BMW engines are also excellent. One of the company’s hallmarks is a 6-cylinder unit, with those cylinders all in a line (as opposed to a V-formation). That’s the 740i’s setup, which coaxes a turbocharged 375 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque from a 3.0-liter displacement.
This amount of power is perfectly adequate while balancing relatively reasonable fuel economy. Some rivals start out with more power, some have less.
At its most affordable, the 740i deploys rear-wheel drive (RWD). All-wheel drive (AWD) is optional.
The 750e xDrive plug-in hybrid employs a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 and an electric motor to make 483 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque (which isn’t quite as powerful as the S-Class PHEV, but gutsy enough). Drive goes to all four wheels as standard. Using just the battery, it can travel for around 35 miles.
The twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 in the 760i xDrive is a thing of mechanical beauty, endowed with 536 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque.
All engines connect to an 8-speed automatic transmission; premium gasoline is required throughout.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
BMW covers its vehicles and powertrains with a warranty lasting four years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. This coverage is typical for European luxury car makers. There’s also roadside assistance for the first four years, with unlimited mileage, plus three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
Big luxury cars are not usually crash-tested by independent agencies. Still, there’s plenty of standard safety equipment &#8212; such as forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, Active Blind Spot Detection, adaptive headlights, and lane departure warning. The optional Driving Assistance Professional package is worth the investment, adding assistance for changing lanes, evasive steering and emergency stops, plus a hands-free highway driving feature.

The BMW 7 Series comes into this model year virtually unchanged.

The stylish 2026 Mini Countryman is a wonderful blend of all-wheel-drive can-do, spirited performance, and European driving dynamics.

Power, Ride, And Handling

The base version of the new Countryman comes with 241 horsepower and can sprint from a standstill to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. The BMW X1 has the same amount of power, yet is quicker to 60 mph by 0.3 of a second. The top version of the Mazda CX-30 has 250 hp and can hit 60 mph in just under six seconds. But the Countryman is still fast enough for fun.
The thing about Mini vehicles is that they’re engaging to drive — crisp, responsive, and eager. Even though the Countryman is bigger than its regular hatchback stablemate, it’s still a bona fide Mini, and there’s plenty of enjoyment to be had. That goes double in the John Cooper Works model, which has 312 hp — a lot of punch for a small vehicle. It does the 60-mph sprint in just 5.4 seconds.
We especially like the Go-Kart mode (essentially a Sport mode), in which the automatic transmission stays in a lower gear longer, enabling brisk acceleration. The brakes also feel confident at the other end of the performance envelope. We feel obliged to add the JCW version rides on the firm side, so test drive it over some rough surfaces to see if that will work for you. However, the Countryman generally rides nicer on the highway than the smaller, more traditional Mini Cooper hatchback, given its longer wheelbase.
Fuel Economy
The Mini Countryman S returns 24 city/32 highway/27 combined mpg, while the more potent JCW model gets 23 city/30 highway/26 combined mpg. Premium gas is recommended for both, giving the Countryman above-average fuel costs for a small SUV. The closely related BMW X1 xDrive28i provides 28 mpg in combined driving.

All-in-the-Family Looks

With that sort of wonky hexagon shape, the headlights really look different from any Countryman that’s come before. As we become more familiar with the new design, it seems there’s a kind of Land Rover Defender influence — more squared-off and SUV-like than before.
Otherwise, it seems the new Countryman will continue to offer popular features like the roof and side mirror housings in a contrasting color to the rest of the vehicle, taillights that evoke the British flag, and a choice of cool wheel designs. We like that the Countryman has short overhangs, maximizing space between the wheels and that planted stance, making it look more capable and a bit tougher.

Our Favorite Features And Tech

All-wheel drive 
All-wheel drive is standard across the new Countryman lineup, providing an extra layer of reassurance in slippery conditions and aiding optimum traction in the dry.
Ambient light 
The back of the touchscreen can bathe the surrounding dashboard area in lights of different colors, chosen according to which Experience mode is selected.
Recycled materials 
Mini deploys recycled materials in the cabin, a small contribution to sustainability that gets the thumbs-up from us.
Hands-free driving 
For the first time, the Countryman offers the option of hands-free driving, but drivers must still keep their eyes on the road.
BMW inspired 
Utilizing the platform and turbo four from the BMW X1, the Countryman provides a taste of the BMW experience. Although it has traded off some of its Mini spunkiness for added comfort to appeal more to traditional subcompact SUV shoppers, it retains better-than-average driving dynamics.
OLED infotainment display 
The OLED infotainment display is a leap forward in display technology, providing better contrast, faster response time, better color saturation, and less energy consumption than LCD-based screens.

Forward-Looking Interior

The dominant feature in the 2026 Countryman is the large and round (9.4 inches in diameter) infotainment display, now using crisp and vibrant OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology. The system itself has a voice-controlled digital assistant. Say &#8220;Hey, Mini,&#8221; then give a command like &#8220;call home,&#8221; and the order is carried out.
Although we’ve found that the head-up display provides vital data directly in front of the driver, a lot of other information is only available on the large screen in the center of the dashboard. We’d prefer a proper instrument cluster, even a small one, for those versions that won’t have the head-up display. The touchscreen also has various modes to scroll through, but drivers will likely settle on one and stick with it.
This new Countryman is almost 2.5 inches taller and more than five inches longer than the previous generation, so there’s more space for passengers and cargo. The luggage area behind the rear seats measures around 16 cubic feet, larger than a typical midsize sedan’s trunk. Fold those seats down to create about 51 cubic feet. If this is an important consideration, keep in mind that the Ford Bronco Sport has much more, as do many other subcompact rivals.

After a thorough overhaul last year, the 2026 Mini Countryman casts a larger shadow than it did before. Moreover, we like that, although larger, it didn’t lose a scintilla of its iconic Mini personality. We can’t say enough about its driving dynamics and willingness to bust out of the gate when the light goes green. This is particularly so with the high-performance Countryman JCW. So, there you have the Countyman in a nutshell: personality and eager performance, plus more hauling capacity than any other Mini.
We&#8217;ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-subcompact-suvs/">subcompact SUVs</a>, including the Mini Countryman.

The 2026 Mini Countryman starts at $37,165. That’s for the S trim and includes the factory-to-dealer delivery charge. The JCW version begins at $44,525.
