It's been just one day since Lincoln unveiled the all-new Navigator, and Serena Williams already has her hands on one. It's one of the perks of being a brand ambassador.”My future race,” he labels it. He already has the Navigator coming out at home, but will probably get the updated one soon.
Serena Williams returned to the United States after competing in the Paris Olympics. A big surprise awaited her at home. Lincoln had just unveiled the 2025 Navigator and the tennis icon will most likely replace her old car with the new one.
Mother of two daughters and part of a large family, Serena needs the space that the Lincoln Off-road offers. The model is equipped with heated and ventilated seats, while the front seats also feature massage functions.
The automaker also offers an optional semi-power bench seat and power-adjustable captain's chairs with heating, ventilation and massage. Additionally, the Lincoln Soft Touch third row is power-folding 40/20/40.
“It's here, and I'm here too,” the winner of 23 Grand Slam tournaments wrote on Instagram and Lincoln shared her post. “I had to come see the grand debut of the all-new 2025 Lincoln Navigator, aka my future car.,” he added.
The significantly revised cabin will take some getting used to. Lincoln has fitted a new 48-inch panoramic display that stretches from pillar to pillar. It will also benefit from the all-new Pano mode, which displays video and game apps on either side of the massive display while the vehicle is in Park.
Lincoln hasn't touched the only engine available in the Navigator, though. It's the engine that also powers the current Serena SUV. The twin-turbo V6 makes 440 horsepower (446 metric horsepower) and 510 pound-feet (691 Newton meters) of torque. A ten-speed automatic transmission sends the power to the pavement through all four wheels.
A redesigned center console and a new two-spoke steering wheel now come aboard the Navigator. Lincoln hasn't released pricing information, but the tennis icon needn't worry.
Serena has been a Lincoln brand ambassador since 2018 and has shown her support for the brand every chance she gets. She has been spotted driving the SUV with her two daughters, Adira and Olympia, and her husband, Alexis Ohanian.
The family also owns a Tesla Cybertruck. Alexis Ohanian was one of the first people to receive it. It happened during the delivery event that Tesla held on November 30, 2023, in Giga Texas. Only ten customers received their new Cybertrucks at the time, and Ohanian was one of them.
