Serena Williams Lincoln Navigator

Lincoln has gotten a new brand ambassador who is arguably an even bigger deal than Academy Award-winner Matthew McConaughey: Serena Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam winner and possibly the most dominant athlete to ever take the tennis court. Williams appears in a new social media campaign supporting the 2018 Lincoln Navigator.

Like McConaughey, Serena has a connection to the Lincoln brand that precedes any partnership. The first vehicle she ever purchased was a Lincoln Navigator named “Ginger,” which she drove for eight years before handing it down to her niece.

“I’ve always had a connection to the Navigator brand,” said Williams. “When I bought my first car, Ginger, it was my big step-up. I had a real luxury car now, it looked great and I felt safe. When the opportunity came to work with the Lincoln Navigator today, I was really excited because it brought me back to all of those moments I had in my first vehicle. For me, partnering with a brand like Navigator comes from a genuine place.”

Serena now drives a 2018 Lincoln Navigator, which she says has helped her adjust to her newest pursuit: being a mother.

“Now that I have become a mom I am in my car a lot more, so my Navigator is like my new home. I take business calls from it, I prepare for my day, and it’s kind of like Olympia’s room—she takes naps, she wakes up, and she’s comfortable in it. For me, that’s what’s most important. I want what makes me feel most comfortable and what I feel most confident in driving. The Navigator checks all of those boxes.”

Let’s be real: if the 2018 Lincoln Navigator is good enough for one of the most impressive women on the planet, it’s good enough for anybody.
