The 2007 Lincoln Navigator’s new grille, which resembles an overpriced cheese grater from Sur La Table, cannot be a good idea. Look at the size of that thing, the ornate detailing, the huge garnish that wraps over the leading edge of the hood like a giant bug deflector – heck, we half expected shreds of cheddar to dangle from the Navigator’s toothy new face.

OK, so we don’t like the new front end. But that’s not the whole story when it comes to the upgrades made to the 2007 Lincoln Navigator. Chief among them is an all-new frame that provides improved handling and ride quality, a redesigned interior with new seats for added comfort, specific design and tuning to produce a “whisper quiet” interior, and a new extended-length Navigator L model that adds 25 cubic feet of additional cargo space.

The new Navigator also gets cleaned up flanks which look quite nice, the taillights are redesigned to look like the Zephyr sedan (called MKZ for 2007), and 20-inch chrome wheels are available as a factory option.

The 2007 Lincoln Navigator is a full-size luxury SUV that shares its underpinnings with the Ford Expedition. With room for eight passengers or up to 128.2 cubic feet of cargo, the new Navigator is a significant update of the previous model, equipped with a new frame, a new interior, and new styling.
