The 2018 Lincoln Navigator has earned itself the top honor in the Reader’s Choice Award during the Detroit Auto Show. The luxurious SUV made its public debut last year at the New York Auto Show and also secured the top position in the 2018 North American Car, Truck and Utility of the Year awards. Unlike most awards where the voting is done by car experts, the Detroit News Reader’s Choice Award involves voting from general public who can actually buy and drive the vehicles on show.

 

The 2018 Lincoln Navigator is powered by a phenomenal 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged engine developing 450 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission system. The SUV offers top-of-the-class adaptive suspension system which can match any road condition for a smooth and confident drive. Moreover, the SUV presents multiple driving modes.

 

The overall bulky persona of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator sets it apart from its rivals, such as, the 2018 Cadillac Escalade. Some of the luxury features include Approach Detection System, Power Deployable Running Boards and Automatic Folding Mirrors.

 

On the inside, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator incorporates Lincoln Connect, 4G LTE Wi-Fi, heads-up display, a 10-inch adjustable rear display with USB and HDMI port. The Driver Assist technologies include Lane-Keep Assist system, Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Headlamps and more. The pricing for the 2018 Navigator starts from $95,000 in North America.

 

Other vehicles that received awards at the show include the Ford GT - ‘Best Dream Machine’, the Chrysler Pacifica - ‘Best Family Fun Finder’, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - ‘Baddest Off-Road Vehicle’, the BMW i8 Roadster - ‘Coolest Technology’. The award for the ‘Best Future Concept’ was given to Infiniti Q Inspiration, while the Smart Fortwo was titled as the ‘Most ECO-Friendly’ car.
