How much will the 2025 Lincoln Navigator cost?
The newest Lincoln Navigator starts at $99,995. The 2025 Navigator comes in with 6 trims to pick from, each one better than the last. The trims are:
- Reserve starting at $99,995

Both Edmunds, and Car and Driver recommend the Reserve trim. Car and Driver notes that the “Reserve still makes the most sense, particularly as the massaging function becomes standard equipment for 2025.” Also stating that “if towing is important, we'd spring for the Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow package to unlock the SUV's 8700-pound max capacity.” While Edmunds says that “You can option one up to near Black Label equipment levels.”
How much will the 2025 Infiniti QX80 cost?
The Infiniti QX80 starts at a lower price point and comes in at $82,450. The QX80 has 4 trim levels for you to pick from. The trims are:
- Pure starting at $82,450
- Luxe starting at $89,550
- Sensory starting at $100,645
- Autograph starting at $110,595
Car and Driver recommends the Luxe trim. This is because “it adds nice-to-have features such as an air-spring suspension system, a head-up display, heated-and-ventilated first- and second-row seats, and handsome 22-inch wheels”
While the price of the QX80 is the main reason for the recommendation, even Edmunds notes that “the Infiniti is up against some stiff competition including the equally large and impressive Lincoln Navigator” and they also state that “In a class of vehicles with some real standouts, merely being good isn't good enough.” Driving home the point that you can get something lesser, or you can get the best in the form of the Lincoln Navigator.
Is the 2025 Navigator going to have a new body?
For 2025, the Navigator comes with a ton of new features, as well as a new body. The body of the vehicle sees a new front as well as a new rear thanks to the split gate. This new tailgate opens in two halves, with the top opening like a hatch and the bottom opening like a tailgate. Helping you get things in and out easier.
Some new interior features are a new 48-inch screen that sprawls across the dash that contains instruments as well as infotainment features. The second-row can be outfitted with massaging functions while the third-row can be equipped with heating.
If you’re an old soul, the addition of some mid-century modern features will help bring out that vintage feel. This is thanks to ash wood appliques and copper accents, that help you feel like you’ve warped back in time. To help keep things elegant, as well as practical, you can look for off-white leather-wrapped seats and a gray suede headliner. These contrast with the black flooring, giving the interior a unique feel.
Is the 2025 Infiniti QX80 going to have a new body?
Yes, the QX80 is going to have a new body. This year, the Infiniti enters a new generation, causing a complete redesign. The QX80 also comes with some new tech on the inside of the vehicle. Some of this tech is 14.3-inch dual screens that comes with a new infotainment system, new drivers aids, as well as a new audio system.
The QX80 is a decent vehicle, but putting it up against such a strong competitor, it starts to falter. The Navigator comes with a larger screen, more luxurious looks, and more new features.
