Quick take
- Three trims — Premiere ($89,995), Reserve ($99,995), and Black Label ($114,995) — all share the same 440-hp twin-turbo V6 (510 lb-ft) and 4x4 drivetrain, per Lincoln's published specs.
- The class-exclusive standard Lincoln Split Gate, third-row 60/40 seating, and 4 years each of Lincoln Connectivity, BlueCruise, and the Security Package come standard from the base Premiere trim.
- Reserve adds Lincoln Rejuvenate with Digital Scents, a 28-speaker Revel® Ultima 3D Audio System, power deployable running boards, and a Panoramic Vista Roof®.
- Black Label makes key Reserve options standard and adds exclusive Black Label Themes, Opulence leather, and ownership perks including complimentary car washes and new-vehicle delivery.
One powertrain, three trims built around comfort tech
Every 2027 Navigator trim — Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label — runs the same twin-turbo V6 making 440 horsepower (SAE net @ 5,400 rpm) and 510 lb-ft of torque (SAE net @ 3,300 rpm), paired with 4x4 and a 122.5-inch wheelbase. Like INFINITI's approach with the QX65, Lincoln isn't gating power behind the top trim — the Navigator's three-trim spread is about comfort technology, materials, and ownership perks, not output.
The Lincoln Split Gate: standard, not an upgrade
Lincoln calls the Split Gate "class-exclusive," and it's standard from the base Premiere trim ($89,995) — a genuinely differentiated feature Lincoln isn't reserving for a paid package. Premiere also includes the Lincoln Digital Experience, third-row 60/40 seating, and four years each of the Lincoln Connectivity Package, Lincoln BlueCruise, and the Lincoln Security Package — a notably generous standard-equipment list for the entry trim of a three-row full-size SUV.
Reserve and Black Label: Rejuvenate, Revel audio, and Opulence leather
The Reserve trim ($99,995) is where the Navigator's signature comfort features arrive: Lincoln Rejuvenate with Digital Scents (5-to-10-minute multisensory sessions crafted to help reduce stress), a 28-speaker Revel® Ultima 3D Audio System, power deployable running boards, premium leather seating for first and second rows, and a Panoramic Vista Roof®. Black Label ($114,995) makes those Reserve features standard and adds Lincoln Black Label Themes showcasing artisan craftsmanship, Opulence leather seating surfaces, and exclusive ownership benefits including complimentary car washes and new-vehicle delivery — positioning Black Label less as a trim and more as a separate ownership tier.
Towing and capability: a genuine full-size-truck-adjacent figure
Lincoln publishes a maximum towing capacity of 8,700 lbs for the Navigator, alongside 121.6 cu.-ft. of available cargo capacity on the Navigator L and 107 cu.-ft. on the standard wheelbase. Consumer Reports named Lincoln BlueCruise the top-rated assisted-driving system of all tested (per Lincoln's own citation), and it's included standard for four years across all three trims — a longer included window than many rivals offer even as a paid subscription.
What a manufacturer's own site cannot tell you
Everything above is Lincoln describing its own SUV, and the honest caveat is direct: no outlet has published an independently verified test of the 2027-specific Navigator's ride, handling, or real-world fuel economy, and nobody here has driven this specific car. Whether Lincoln Rejuvenate's stress-reduction claims hold up, or how the Revel Ultima system actually sounds against Cadillac's AKG or INFINITI's Klipsch setups, isn't something a spec sheet can settle.

Common questions
Does horsepower change between Navigator trims?
No — all three trims (Premiere, Reserve, Black Label) share the same twin-turbo V6 making 440 hp and 510 lb-ft, per Lincoln's published specs.
Is the Lincoln Split Gate standard?
Yes — Lincoln lists it as standard on the base Premiere trim, and describes it as class-exclusive.
What is Lincoln Rejuvenate?
An available interior wellness feature offering 5-to-10-minute multisensory sessions Lincoln says are crafted to help reduce stress; available with Digital Scents starting on the Reserve trim.
How much can the Navigator tow?
Up to 8,700 lbs maximum towing capacity, per Lincoln's published specifications.
Has DopamineKart driven this car?
No. Everything in this article reflects Lincoln's own published product materials, not a first-hand drive.
On paper, Lincoln's case for the 2027 Navigator centers on comfort technology rather than outright power: a standard hands-free Split Gate, a wellness feature unique to the brand, and a towing figure that holds its own against rivals — all built on one shared 440-hp powertrain across the lineup. The real question is whether Rejuvenate and the Revel audio system justify the jump from Premiere to Reserve or Black Label, since the engine underneath never changes.
