What is the fuel consumption of the Navigator?
2 Answers
The Navigator has 5 models currently on sale, including the Navigator-2022-3.5T Premium Edition, MONO Limited Premium MONO-BLACK Edition, Long Wheelbase Presidential Edition, Presidential Edition, and MONO Limited Premium MONO-WHITE Edition. These models are equipped with a 388-horsepower engine and have an NEDC fuel consumption of 11.4L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity varies among different Navigator models. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 388-horsepower engine and a fuel tank capacity of 89.3L, the distance is 89.3/11.4*100=783km. For models equipped with a 388-horsepower engine and a fuel tank capacity of 105.2L, the distance is 105.2/11.4*100=923km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier vehicles also have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Lincoln Navigator for almost two years now, and fuel consumption really depends on how you drive it. In city traffic jams, the fuel consumption can soar above 15L/100km, especially when accelerating aggressively from a stop—the fuel gauge needle jumps rapidly. However, when cruising steadily on the highway, it averages around 11L/100km, which is somewhat acceptable. As a big vehicle, it offers ample space for family trips, and the comfort is unquestionable. But spending an extra two to three thousand yuan per month on fuel is common, and it becomes even more frustrating when fuel prices rise. I recommend considering your daily commuting distance before buying. If you mainly drive short distances, a more compact SUV might be more economical. Overall, high fuel consumption is its drawback, but in return, you get powerful performance and a luxurious experience—whether it's worth it depends on your budget.
