Is the Lincoln Navigator L 2025 with its extended wheelbase worth the $7,500 CAD premium over the standard Navigator?
The Navigator L 2025 starts at approximately $118,000 CAD compared to $110,500 for the standard Navigator. The L adds 203 mm of wheelbase, translating directly to 155 mm more legroom in the third row (867 mm versus 712 mm). For a family of 6-7 with adults in the third row on long-haul trips (Toronto-Montreal, Vancouver-Whistler), this difference is substantial. The L version also adds 356 litres of cargo volume behind the third row (411 litres vs. 55 litres). If you regularly transport luggage for 6 or more people, the L is nearly essential. However, for urban use in Toronto or Montreal, the L (5.86 metres overall length) is difficult to manoeuvre and park. The Navigator L is the choice for suburban and highway users; the standard Navigator suits mixed urban/suburban driving better. Consider where you will park it daily before committing.
