LINCOLN Navigator

2011 LINCOLN Navigator for Sale near Buffalo NY

The 2011 LINCOLN Navigator for sale near Buffalo NY is a full-size luxury SUV offered as either the regular Navigator or the extended-wheelbase Navigator L. Three-row, seven-passenger seating is standard, and the second-row captain’s chairs can be replaced with a three-person bench to increase capacity to eight.

Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, parking sensors, a power liftgate, power-folding running boards, a back-up camera, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, leather upholstery, adjustable pedals, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear auxiliary controls, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, heated and ventilated power front seats, driver memory settings, heated second- and third-row seats and a power-folding third-row bench.

Also standard are the Sync voice command system, Bluetooth and a 14-speaker surround-sound audio system with a CD player, HD radio, satellite radio and a USB jack.

The vast expanses of exterior chrome might be a bit too flashy for the more understated buyer, so LINCOLN offers a Monochrome Appearance package that substitutes body-colored elements for some of the chrome accents and adds power-folding heated outside mirrors with puddle lights.

A similar Monochrome Limited Edition package includes unique leather upholstery and trim. Other options include 20-inch chromed wheels, a sunroof, a heavy-duty tow package, a second-row 40/20/40-split bench, a hard-drive-based navigation system with Sirius Travel Link and a rear-seat video system.

Powertrains and Performance

Under the hood of the 2011 LINCOLN Navigator, featured by West Herr LINCOLN near Buffalo NY, is a 5.4-liter V8 that produces 310 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic is the only transmission available, but buyers can choose between two- and four-wheel-drive models. Properly equipped, a rear-wheel-drive Navigator is capable of towing up to 9,000 pounds.

The last Navigator L we tested accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 8.2 seconds, off the pace for this segment. EPA fuel economy estimates stand at 14 mpg city/20 mpg highway and 16 mpg combined.

Safety

The 2011 LINCOLN Navigator, now available at your Buffalo area LINCOLN dealer, comes standard with stability control (with a rollover sensor), traction control, anti lock disc brakes with brake assist, front-seat side airbags and three-row side curtain airbags.

Also standard is Trailer Sway Control, which uses the stability control sensors to detect and minimize a trailer’s tendency to weave under some circumstances. For 2011, the programmable MyKey system is standard equipment, a nifty feature that allows parents to specify speed limits and stereo volumes for their teenage drivers.

In government crash tests, the Navigator received a perfect five-star rating for frontal- and side-impact occupant protection.
