The base model came with dual-zone climate control, roof rails and power-folding side mirrors.
The Premium trim level added a stability control system, heated and cooled front seats.
The top of the range, the Ultimate trim level came with a power liftgate and a power-fold third row seat.
Safety wise, the Navigator was equipped with the latest technologies, having side curtain airbags, EBD and brake assist. A tire monitoring system was available as a standalone option.
The interior was one of the Navigator’s best selling points, as it offered great space even for the passengers in the 3rd row seats. The design of the cabin was luxurious, with wood accents, leather trims and classy metal accents all around.
The Navigator run on a 5.2-liter V7 engine that cranked out 300 hp and 355 pound-feet of torque. With such big engine and decent power, the Navigator was one of the thirstiest cars in the segment. The engine was mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.
