Lincoln Navigator L vs. Cadillac Escalade Review

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Cadillac Escalade and the Lincoln are legitimate speedsters.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Escalade is quite certainly more agile than the Lincoln Navigator L, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Lincoln Navigator L's engine is considerably smaller than the Cadillac Escalade's. Note that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the flip side, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage.

Utility
The Cadillac Escalade and the Lincoln can accommodate the same number of passengers. There's no clear winner between the Lincoln Navigator L and the Cadillac Escalade with respect to transporting cargo. There's little the Lincoln Navigator L can tow that the Cadillac Escalade cannot.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the Cadillac Escalade's front cabin compared to the Lincoln Navigator L. While the rear of the Lincoln Navigator L offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the Cadillac, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Lincoln Navigator L is substantially heavier than the Cadillac. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Lincoln Navigator L than the Cadillac Escalade because of its bigger tank. The Cadillac Escalade and the Lincoln Navigator L compete for the same parking spaces. The Cadillac's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a sprier feel in daily traffic than the Lincoln Navigator L.

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 Navigator L to the dealership as the Cadillac Escalade. The Cadillac is substantially more expensive than the Lincoln Navigator L when it comes to MSRP.

Warranty
The Lincoln Navigator L and the Cadillac Escalade have the same basic after-sale protection.
