As you jet down the open road, you’ll want to enliven your drive with the proper entertainment. Fortunately, the Lincoln Navigator and the Ford Expedition have full-fledged cockpits and advanced technologies to help you make the most of every mile.
In the Lincoln Navigator, you’ll be able to control your podcasts, news, and music library from an expansive 13.2-inch center SYNC® 4 touchscreen. The Expedition has similar entertainment capabilities, but you’ll have to control it all through a smaller 12-inch screen.
Viewing vital vehicle information as you drive is important, which is why Lincoln and Ford have equipped their SUVs with expanded instrument clusters! The Expedition has an 8-inch productivity screen, which is impressive. However, your viewing experience is greater in the Lincoln Navigator thanks to its 12-inch LCD instrument cluster.
Both the Lincoln Navigator and the Ford Expedition will keep you and your second-row passengers comfy with standard Tri-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control. However, the Lincoln SUV has several other unique features that set it apart from the Ford. Some of those features include:
- Piano Key Shifter - Shift gears seamlessly with just the push of a button.
- Symphonic Chimes - Standard vehicle warnings are accompanied by various instrumental chimes to help you learn corrective actions.
The Lincoln’s Piano Key Shifter transforms the cockpit and enhances your experience while the Symphonic Chimes add a layer of refinement to the cabin and to your drive.
The Lincoln Navigator and the Ford Expedition are larger-than-life vessels with even grander capabilities. Both models keep your convenience top of mind; however, only one of these SUVs makes the finest amenities standard across the board.
Whether you’re indulging in a new audiobook or jamming out to your favorite song, it’s important to hear your designed entertainment clearly. In the Lincoln Navigator, you can be treated to a 28-speaker Revel® Ultima 3D Audio System.
In addition to placing multiple speakers all around the cabin, it comes with three custom listening modes so you can tailor your experience to your entertainment. It’s also paired to Quantum Logic® 3D Surround technology for even more refinement.
Your ears may be left wanting more with the Expedition since a maximum of only 22 speakers are available and there aren’t any additional listening technologies to take your sound to the next level.
On top of a concert-like listening experience, the Lincoln Navigator also has a few additional convenience features that will help you make the most out of your travels:
- Wireless charging pad
- Ambient lighting
- Active Park Assist 2.0
- Heated and ventilated front- and second-row seats
- Heated steering wheel
Although the Ford Expedition has similar systems available with an upgrade, they all come standard on every trim of the Lincoln Navigator.
While technology and entertainment are exciting aspects in a vehicle, it all comes back to performance. These SUVs are outfitted with engines designed to completely ignite your drive, but one goes the extra mile.
The Lincoln Navigator is outfitted with an Adaptive Suspension with Road Preview to help improve your driving performance. It uses a front camera to continuously monitor the road for upcoming bumps. When one lies ahead, it prepares your vehicle’s suspension to help lessen impact and create a smoother ride all around.
The Ford Expedition is also available with Road Preview and a smoothening suspension to help every journey go off without a hitch.
Both the Lincoln Navigator and the Ford Expedition are equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine, which helps them take the roads by storm. Is there a difference? Well, the Lincoln SUV’s engine is twin-turbocharged, which allows it to produce 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque!
The Expedition is available with a high-output version of its base engine, which cranks out the same horsepower and torque; however, you’ll need to upgrade the SUV with a performance package to get on the Lincoln’s standard performance level.
With this information in mind about the Lincoln Navigator and the Ford Expedition, you’re more than ready to decide. From this comparison, potential owners in Grand Rapids, East Grand Rapids, and Rockford, MI will see that the Lincoln offers more.
