Auto Car | Lincoln Navigator 2011 | The 2011 Navigator will be powered by a 5.4 liter, three-valve Triton V-8, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, which generates 300 horsepower and 365 foot-pounds of torque. A wide-ratio, six-speed transmission has smaller steps between gears than a typical four-speed automatic, offering improved shift quality and faster acceleration. Considering that that the 2008 Navigator got a very low 12 mpg in the city and only 18 on the highway, Lincoln knew this is something that must be improved.
Unique software has been engineered to regulate gas consumption by using aggressive deceleration fuel shut-off delivering considerable fuel savings with no extra effort from the driver. This complex fuel strategy is being added to many Ford products to help improve fuel economy across the board including the Ford F-150, which offers unsurpassed fuel economy and capability in the light duty truck segment. Ford was able to increase fuel economy by almost 15% on the big SUV by implementing these technologies.
The big news for the 2011 Lincoln Navigator is the possible option of a diesel engine, again a sign of improved fuel economy. The 4.4-liter V-8 Diesel is closely related to the 3.6-liter turbodiesel installed in European Jaguars and Land Rovers and is being designed in-house to be built at the automaker's Chihuahua, Mexico engine plant. Compared to the current 5.4-liter V-8 the new diesel is said to achieve nine percent more horsepower, 15 percent more lb-ft. of torque, and 20 percent better fuel economy, respectively. The automaker says 0 to 60 times in the two engines will be about the same. In addition, a urea injection system is being developed along the lines of Mercedes' Bluetec diesels to keep the new 4.4-liter running clean.
Standard on the 2011 Navigator will be a power lift gate, heated and cooled front seats, PowerFold third-row seats, cap-less fuel filler, Rear View Camera, flexible fuel-capable V-8 engine, rain-sensing wipers; perimeter anti-theft alarm, integrated four-button key fob, Lincoln SYNC' and a 14-speaker THX II-Certified audio system with SIRIUS Satellite Radio. The 2011 Navigator will also be use Ford's improved navigation system with Travel Link.
The standard Rear View Camera System in the rear lift gate handle activates when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, giving the driver a clear view behind the vehicle or for ease of hooking up trailers. The video image is displayed in the self-dimming rearview mirror on the standard Navigator or through the next generation navigation system on the Elite package.
