“Clearly the best large American luxury SUV, the luxurious right-hand drive 2024 Lincoln Navigator from Autogroup International, is simply stunning with every conceivable refinement, comfort and technology alongside its incredible 430 horsepower performance. Not brash but understated and calm it exudes an aura of refinement,” he said.

 

The Navigator is now available alongside the 2024 Hummer EV SUV and pickup, the duo offering what Mr Hill describes as an “instantly recognisable and iconic design” and impressive all-electric driveline.
