The 2025 Lincoln Navigator has recently been revealed, and while it boasts a sleek design and luxurious features, its pricing strategy seems questionable. Despite being significantly more expensive than its predecessor and its primary rival, the Cadillac Escalade, the Navigator offers little to justify its premium price tag.
This decision by Ford Motor Company to price the Navigator so high, particularly in a market increasingly favoring electric vehicles, is puzzling. While some consumers may be willing to pay a hefty sum for a large, gas-guzzling SUV, many are seeking more sensible options, including electric vehicles and smaller, more fuel efficient SUVs.
In light of this, it’s intriguing to consider alternative body styles for the Navigator. Digital artist Jim, known as jlord8, recently shared a rendering of a Lincoln station wagon, a concept that could offer a unique and practical take on the luxury SUV. While this remains purely hypothetical, it highlights the potential for innovative and desirable vehicle designs.
While American Lincoln fans are limited to SUVs, their counterparts in China enjoy a unique offering: the Lincoln Z sedan. This mid-size luxury car, previously known as the Zephyr, is a product of the Ford-China joint venture and a close relative of the forbidden-fruit Ford Mondeo and Mondeo Sport for North America and Europe.
One virtual car designer took a CGI detour and reimagined the Z as the Lincoln Zephyr Avant. This bold proposition transformed the car into a sporty yet luxurious station wagon, generating a buzz on social media.
Fans not only expressed their desire to own such a machine but also chimed in with suggestions. Styling ideas ranged from classic Shelby stripes to iconic Hertz livery, while horsepower dreams focused on a Predator-inspired, 1,140-hp supercharged V12.
