What brand is the Navigator's audio system?

The audio system in the Navigator is from the Harman Kardon Revel brand. The full name of the Navigator is the Lincoln Navigator, which is a luxury full-size SUV produced by Ford Motor Company. Taking the Navigator 2020 3.5TL Long Wheelbase Presidential Edition as an example: its exterior dimensions are 5657mm in length, 2073mm in width, and 1934mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3342mm. The Navigator is equipped with front and rear parking radar systems, a 360-degree panoramic and blind spot monitoring system, a rear cross-traffic alert system, a full-speed adaptive cruise control system, an automatic parking assist system, and engine start-stop technology.

The Navigator’s audio system is no small deal—it’s equipped with Revel’s high-end series, especially the top-tier Ultima version, packing a whopping 28 speakers. This setup isn’t just about quantity; it’s professionally acoustically tuned, with subwoofers hidden under the seats and 3D-surround tweeters mounted on the A-pillars. When you roll up the windows while driving, the crystal-clear vocals and deep, punchy bass make it feel like a live concert in the cabin. I once tried playing jazz on this system in a friend’s car—the metallic texture of the saxophone was strikingly real. Lincoln and Revel have collaborated for years, and this immersive experience truly outclasses standard branded audio by a mile.

As a frequent passenger in the Navigator's rear seats, what impressed me most about this car's audio system is the immersive sound experience. It features Revel branding, a top-tier American audio brand under Harman Kardon. The center console houses QuantumLogic Surround technology, which automatically decomposes standard stereo music into multi-channel audio. During a recent long trip when the driver played classical music, the violin sounds seemed to float in from the right window, with timpani rolling from behind. The most astonishing part was when the 14-liter chilled cup holder had cold drinks - the bass vibrations made ice cubes dance inside the glass. With 28 speakers hidden in door panels, headliner, and dashboard (even beside the seatbelt height adjustment buttons), the audio system delivers exceptional surround sound.

I've compared the audio systems of several luxury SUVs, and the Revel system in the Navigator definitely ranks among the top in terms of clarity. Especially for vocals, phone calls sound as if the other person is sitting in the passenger seat chatting with you. It offers three preset modes: the 'Stereo Audience' mode provides the best effect, with the headrest speakers enhancing navigation prompts. When traveling with kids, remember to activate the rear conversation feature, which amplifies your voice through the third-row speakers. This system supports FLAC lossless format, but in real-world use, Bluetooth transmission is sufficient. Just be mindful not to opt for the base version—the 14-speaker Revel system is noticeably inferior to the top-tier configuration.
