The 2013 Lincoln Navigator isn't cutting-edge, but it does offer a very long list of features combined with some over-the-top luxury features like cooled front seats, power-deploying running boards, and a power-folding third-row seat. What's sorely missing from the Navigator's feature set is a modern infotainment system, such as MyLincoln Touch.
In addition to a very extensive standard-feature set, options on the Navigator include a power moonroof, rear-seat DVD system, perimeter alarm, illuminated entry with approach lamps, remote start, and adjustable pedals. Adaptive cruise control is one of the few increasingly common options that's missing, although thankfully both forward and reverse sensing systems are included standard. Other standard items include rain-sensing windshield wipers, EasyFuel capless fuel fill, and heated second-row seats.
Nearly every luxury-brand vehicle now included some kind of sophisticated infotainment system that combines smartphone connectivity with configurability, apps, and often navigation, and in this respect the Navigator is sorely lacking. The voice-activated nav system that is included works well enough, though, and has Sirius Travel Link, HD Radio, and SYNC, the Bluetooth controller that enables voice commands for some audio, navigation and phone controls.
Conclusion
The 2013 Lincoln Navigator is packed with features, but it's missing a modern infotainment interface.
