1998 Lincoln Navigator Review

High, wide and handsome.
Interior
Leather is one of the invariable hallmarks of automotive luxury, and the Navigator's interior is slathered with

plenty of it--rich, creamy and smooth. Roominess is another luxury in any form of transportation, and the Navigator

has lots of this as well, along with seating for eight--comfortable quad captain's chairs in the first two rows and

a bench seat in the rear, elevated slightly to give the rear passengers a view of what's going on up front.

Leg, head and hip room are plentiful in the first two seating positions, though the third row is limited, and

not really suitable for folks of adult stature. On the other hand, there's lot of cargo space. The rear seatbacks

flop forward to expand stowage, the rearmost seat is readily removable and the spare tire stows underneath the rear,

rather than inside. Beyond that, there are bins and cubbies scattered around the interior for small items.

The Navigator's instrument panel is basically the same as the Expedition's, with the same oversize controls for

the audio and standard automatic climate control systems--easy to operate when the vehicle is moving and well marked

for function. Luxury licks include tasteful strips of walnut trim and a handsome wood steering wheel with leather

wrapping on the sections of the rim that are gripped most of the time.

The wheel spokes are adorned with auxiliary buttons for the audio and climate controls, and the switches for the

power windows and mirrors are easy to identify by touch, a trait common to most Ford vehicles.

As you'd expect of a sport-utility vehicle, the driver's seat affords a commanding view of the road, and driver

sightlines are above average in all directions, thanks to the Navigator's vast glass area. A wide range of power

adjustability for the seat--as well as height-adjustable seatbelts--should make just about anyone comfortable here,

and the seats themselves afford lots of room for wriggling around during long hauls. Next Page
