Lincoln Navigator L vs. Mercedes-Benz M-Class Review

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Lincoln Navigator L packs quite a punch and will knock the Mercedes-Benz down a few rungs. On the flip side, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the Mercedes-Benz is quite certainly more maneuverable 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 Mercedes-Benz M-Class's engine is tremendously smaller than the Lincoln's. Bear in mind that smaller engines can be stressed more; on the other hand, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. Torque equals pickup, and the Lincoln Navigator L will have picked up and gone by the time the Mercedes-Benz M-Class finally gets moving.

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Lincoln Navigator L over the Mercedes-Benz. The Lincoln Navigator L is likely a better choice than the Mercedes-Benz M-Class regarding hauling capacity, especially if you often need to carry a lot of suitcases or large pets. The Navigator L outpulls the Mercedes-Benz M-Class by a sizeable margin.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Mercedes-Benz M-Class offers a bit more head room than the Lincoln Navigator L, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The M-Class is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the Lincoln Navigator L.

Dimensions
The Lincoln is tremendously heavier than the M-Class. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Lincoln Navigator L than the Mercedes-Benz M-Class because of its bigger tank. The M-Class fits in smaller parking spaces than the Lincoln Navigator L. The Lincoln Navigator L's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; however, the Mercedes-Benz M-Class may give a sprier feel in daily traffic.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Mercedes-Benz M-Class to the dealership as the Navigator L. When it comes to MSRP, the M-Class costs considerably less than the Lincoln.

Warranty
The Lincoln and the Mercedes-Benz have the same basic after-sale protection.
