Lincoln Navigator L vs. Lexus GX 470 Review

With its tighter turning radius, the Lexus GX 470 is definitely nimbler than the Lincoln Navigator L, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, remember that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Lincoln has a more sizeable engine than the GX 470. Bear in mind that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Lincoln Navigator L is significantly more powerful than the Lexus GX 470.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Lexus GX 470 offers a bit more head room than the Navigator L, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Navigator L make it substantially more spacious for your passengers than the Lexus GX 470.

Dimensions
The Navigator L is tremendously heavier than the Lexus GX 470. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Lincoln Navigator L than the Lexus GX 470 because of its bigger tank.

The Lincoln Navigator L's longer wheelbase will likely result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the other hand, the Lexus may give a nimbler feel in daily traffic.
