Lincoln sells four models, all of them SUVs. They range in size from the small Corsair and midsize two-row Nautilus to the midsize three-row Aviator and large Navigator. In 2024, the Nautilus was all-new and introduced significant technological upgrades to the Lincoln lineup. For 2025, the Aviator gets a refresh and the flagship Navigator is redesigned. Keep reading to see all the changes to the 2025 Lincoln models.
Lincoln gives the Aviator SUV a refresh for 2025, and while most of the changes are on the inside, styling revisions outwardly signal the modifications. They include a fresh face with a new grille, headlights with animated lighting, and redesigned wheels. A Jet Appearance package equips the Aviator with larger black wheels and blacked-out exterior trim.
Interior changes include four new color combinations for the Reserve trim level, while the Aviator Black Label adds Invitation and Moonbeam themes, which join the popular Flight cabin scheme. You can also get the Black Label in new Whisper Blue and Cenote Green paint colors.
More standard equipment arrives in 2025. The highlights include 20-inch wheels, an adaptive suspension, a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, digital key technology, Co-Pilot360 2.1 driving-assistance systems, BlueCruise hands-free driving technology, and more.
BlueCruise takes control of the Aviator’s steering, braking, and accelerator when traveling on an approved highway. The conditions must be right for the technology to work, and the driver must always pay close attention. A complimentary four-year subscription to BlueCruise is standard.
The 2025 Aviator has a new 12.4-inch digital instrumentation panel and a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Featuring the new Lincoln Digital Experience, the infotainment system offers Google Built-in and Alexa Built-in, giving owners a choice of platforms.
In addition, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L satellite radio, and a Lincoln Premium Connectivity plan with 5G connectivity are standard. When parked, you can use a Vivaldi web browser to surf the internet, or access YouTube or Prime Video for on-the-go entertainment.
Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.1 is standard, and a Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.1 Vision package is optional. It adds front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view camera, and rear automatic braking to the SUV.
The 2025 Aviator continues to use a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine making 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission powers the rear wheels, and all-wheel drive is available. Lincoln has not returned the Grand Touring plug-in hybrid (PHEV) to the lineup with this refresh.
Lincoln makes no significant changes to the 2025 Corsair, the smallest and most affordable model in the automaker’s lineup. Aside from three new paint colors, the only news is the expansion of the Jet Appearance package to the Grand Touring PHEV version.
A redesigned Navigator debuts for 2025, and while this full-size luxury SUV is fundamentally the same as it ever was, an infusion of luxury and technology makes it the best one yet.
Under the hood, a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 supplies 440 hp and 510 pound-feet of torque. Four-wheel drive and an adaptive suspension are standard, and the 2025 Navigator can tow up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist are standard.
Familiar design draws a line of continuity between the new Navigator and those that came before it. The full-size SUV sits on standard 22-inch wheels, and 24s are available. Lincoln claims it has replaced the traditional chrome details with satin aluminum for a more sophisticated look. A Jet Appearance package gives the Navigator a blacked-out treatment.
In the back, a new split tailgate design debuts; it includes an Open On Approach system that powers up the top portion if you stand near the back of the SUV for about four seconds. The lower tailgate drops down and supports 500 pounds. Accessories transform it into a seating bench or a table.
Peer inside and you can’t miss the new 48-inch full-width panoramic display screen stretching from one side of the dashboard to the other. In addition, there is an 11.1-inch touchscreen located closer to the driver.
The technology runs the latest Lincoln Digital Experience system, offering a choice between Google Built-in and Alexa Built-in. A complimentary four-year subscription to 5G Lincoln Premium Connectivity is standard, and a Pano Mode allows you to watch videos or play games on the 48-inch display.
Every 2025 Navigator has heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats, and Lincoln decks the cabin out in leather and wood trim. New Second-row Powered Tailored Seats are available, adding power adjustment, heating, ventilation, and massage for those riding there. The third-row seat offers available heating.
The Navigator Black Label returns in three interior themes. Invitation carries over from before, joined by new Enlighten and Atmospheric cabins.
Rejuvenate relaxation programs are also available, turning the 2025 Navigator into a “spa on wheels.” Rejuvenate works when the SUV is parked. It offers five- or ten-minute sessions involving the seat heaters and massagers, Lincoln Digital Scent interior fragrance system, lighting, audio, and graphics on the 48-inch display. A free one-year subscription to Calm provides access to the Waterfall Meditation program. Aurora Borealis and Elements programs cost extra.
BlueCruise hands-free driving assistance is standard in the new Navigator and includes a no-charge four-year service subscription. New Intersection Assist and Turn Signal View systems also debut, the latter projecting a video view to the sides of the SUV on the panoramic display, showing the Navigator’s blind spots.
Lincoln redesigned the Nautilus in 2024, so the list of changes for 2025 is short. Whisper Blue paint is new, and you can get a Light/Dark Smoked Truffle interior color this year. The same Rejuvenate relaxation programs available in the Navigator are on offer here, and a four-year complimentary subscription to BlueCruise is now standard.
