2021 Lincoln Navigator piles on the plushness

Why do American automakers flounder when tasked with creating a luxury vehicle that has to compete with the Germans? 

It always seems like Uncle Sam has a hard time meeting muster when compared to anything beyond his own shores.

But no more.

The latest Lincoln Navigator dramatically ramps up the effort, bringing a level of fancy-pants-iness that is truly world class.

If pure luxury (and some capability) is what you're after, the Navigator stands atop the pile of large luxury SUVs. 

In terms of outright comfort, the Mercedes GLS-Class is probably its closest competitor with its super ride quality.

Those looking for the latest driver tech will want to check out the Cadillac Escalade with Super Cruise.

Other body-on-frame competitors include the Infiniti QX80 and Lexus LX 570, both of which are rather old underneath their revised exteriors.

Cast against competitors or not, the 2021 Lincoln Navigator is an exceptional SUV. Its Black Label trim brings an impressive level of luxury to the table, while its underpinnings give it a great deal of capability,  whether that covers interior space or towing.
