Two luxury-SUV contenders, the 2023 Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade, vie for the attention of drivers. If you’re considering either one for your Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, VA travels, intense research may be involved.
Why conduct research on your own when you can rely on our team at Cavalier Lincoln to spell out and spill all the details for you? In this comparison of the Lincoln Navigator and the Escalade, we’ll show you just what makes each of these SUVs unique. Let’s get started.
2nd ROW MASSAGING SEATS
INTERSECTION ASSIST
ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION W/ ROAD PREVIEW
The Lincoln Navigator and the Cadillac Escalade are premium SUVs, which means you can expect each model to have cabins that put you first. While your comfort is prioritized in both SUVs, the Lincoln Navigator’s second-row passengers will also get a taste of the lavish life.
Since you’re going to spend time inside your vehicle, let’s start with the interior. Position yourself for success and comfort in the Lincoln Navigator. You can opt for the Perfect Position 30-way front seats with Active Motion®.
If you’re leaning toward the Escalade, your only option is a 12-way power driver’s seat, which is comfortable but not as configurable as the Lincoln’s front seats.
The Lincoln Navigator’s front- and second-row seats are also available with a massage feature! So, you can completely melt away stress and tension during your daily drive.
On the other hand, the Cadillac Escalade falls short where seating positions are concerned; however, it does offer power lumbar massage with an upgrade. However, second-row passengers will be more comfortable in the Lincoln Navigator, as the Escalade goes without second-row massage settings.
As SUVs that can seat your whole family, safety is more important than ever. Fortunately, the Lincoln Navigator and the Cadillac Escalade come with standard safety suites; so, you can enjoy peace of mind on roads near and far.
When it comes to safety systems, you’re all set with the 2023 Lincoln Navigator and the Cadillac Escalade. These SUVs come standard with systems such as the following:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Forward Collision Warning
- Pedestrian Detection
- 360-Degree Camera
These confidence-inspiring features will help keep you out of harm’s way and give you the peace of mind you crave.
The Lincoln Navigator goes the extra mile, though, with standard Intersection Assist as well. This system detects oncoming traffic when you’re making a lefthand turn, so you can drive with great confidence. Unfortunately, a comparable system isn’t found in the Escalade.
When it comes to power and brawn, the 2023 Lincoln Navigator and the Cadillac Escalade deliver thanks to their commanding powertrains. So, you may be wondering: What’s the difference in their performance?
The answer comes down to additional performance features, such as Adaptive Suspension with Road Preview in the Lincoln Navigator. Via a camera, this system constantly evaluates and monitors the road ahead for bumps so it can prepare the suspension for impact. The result is a smoother drive with greater comfort for you.
While the Cadillac is available with an Adaptive Air Ride Suspension, it goes without an integrated camera system to help prepare the SUV for impact on all terrain types.
The Lincoln Navigator provides the ultimate smooth ride. What about power? Let’s take a closer look at each SUVs’ standard powertrain:
- Lincoln Navigator 3.5L Twin-Turbocharged V6 engine: 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque
- Cadillac Escalade 6.2L V8 engine: 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque
Although the Escalade has the larger standard engine, it’s not as powerful as the Lincoln Navigator’s. With 510 lb-ft of torque, the Lincoln makes towing heavy equipment or climbing up steep hills as easy as pie.
