It is a far superior model to the one in America.
The 2020 Lincoln Navigator comes at a high price, with a cost of $100,335. The Navigator L Black Label, a premium SUV, has seen a $365 price increase. This makes it the most expensive Navigator on the American showroom floor. You think this is too high for a luxury family hauler. See what Lincoln will charge for this model in Australia.
CarsGuide reports The Ford-owned brand will soon begin importing the Navigator to the country Down Under, where it will be subject to an RHD conversion by International Motor Cars. The publication states that the vehicle will start at $274,900 AUD. This is equivalent to approximately $175,000 USD at current exchange rates. Lincoln believes that there will be sufficient demand despite the vehicle’s high price tag.
“Look, it has had a fairly good response just the last few days. A lot of people are asking about it,” David Potterhe (Lincoln Australia) told CarsGuide. It’s a very expensive car, but it’s a good test case as this is our first of these. It was just an idea that had been floating around for a while. Although we have our eyes on several other models, for now, we are bringing the Navigator over.
According to the report, the Navigator will only be available in the Black Label trim. This will feature Ford’s 3.5-liter twin turbo six-cylinder engine. Australian clients will have the option of either a base RWD model, or an optional all-wheel drive version. It is not yet clear if the Navigator’s long-wheelbase edition will be available in Australia.
CarsGuide compared the RHD Navigator’s price to its main competitors, including the BMW X7 starting at $171,900 AUD, and the Range Rover Autobiography SWB beginning at $274,210 AUD.
