Lincoln MKX vs. Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Lincoln MKX to the dealership as the Chevrolet. The Lincoln MKX won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Chevrolet Suburban 1500. The Chevrolet Suburban 1500 doesn't pale in comparison to the MKX when it comes to gas mileage. The Chevrolet Suburban 1500 isn't much pricier than the Lincoln MKX as far as MSRP.

Utility
The Chevrolet Suburban 1500 will most definitely prove handier than the Lincoln for those of you with frequent child-cargo. The Chevrolet is likely a better choice than the Lincoln MKX with respect to transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of luggage or massive pets. The Suburban 1500 outpulls the Lincoln MKX by a large margin.

Convenience
You'll definitely have to take the Lincoln for a fill-up more often than the Chevrolet Suburban 1500 because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the Chevrolet Suburban 1500's front cabin compared to the MKX. While the rear of the Lincoln MKX provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the Chevrolet Suburban 1500, there frankly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Suburban 1500 is substantially heavier than the Lincoln MKX. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Chevrolet Suburban 1500 than the MKX because of its bigger tank. The Lincoln MKX fits in smaller parking spaces than the Chevrolet Suburban 1500. The Lincoln MKX's shorter wheelbase will give a nimbler feel in daily traffic. On the other hand, the Chevrolet Suburban 1500 is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Lincoln MKX is definitely nimbler than the Chevrolet, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Lincoln MKX's engine is considerably smaller than the Chevrolet Suburban 1500's. Keep in mind that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; however, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. Torque equals pickup, and the Chevrolet will have picked up and gone by the time the Lincoln MKX finally gets moving.

Overview
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Chevrolet isn't quite as generous as the Lincoln's.
