2020 Lincoln Navigator // Can this Luxury Behemoth still BEAT the NEW 2021 Escalade??

[@fayzullohdushanbe8558]

these guys both have the same voices it's absolutely amazing

[@hellkitty1014]

I think the Navigator is still a top offering in the large luxury class. That said, Lincoln will need to address some shortcomings now that the Escalade is on the horizon. The infotainment is critically lacking not because the Escalade will be the new king of tech, but because the design and function is dated. That 10.2" screen, being tacked on to the dash, seems so trendy 3 years ago, but there are reasons why MB and Cadillac are reverting back to full integration in their large SUVs. Then there are small things like the plastic upper dash, vinyl materials on the doors, etc are all unbecoming of a $94k vehicle. Hopefully Lincoln addresses on the refresh of the Navigator.

[@williebender1895]

I agree

[@Javier03Li]

Yeah hopefully when they release their 2021 model

[@tradinwarstoriez5641]

Yea that little tv in the navigator looks tacky

[@missemotional8710]

It's okay you can say it... *It's a land yacht*

[@mackbrown6820]

The navigator is beautiful!! But that new info system on the caddy can’t be beat! Gm needs too put that info system in all their caddy’s! I think the Escalade is the King again

[@KentPetersTheTriuneGod]

What we have here is a 2020 Navigator being compared with a 2021 Escalade. Should we not wait for a 2021 Navigator for a fair comparison (assuming there will be an upgrade for the Navigator)? In the interim, it may be worth checking the new Denali - if you're not just too fussed on the highest level of refinement but enjoy rugged as well!

[@Mint2842]

I agree with you, but I don't think this will receive a full fledged update until late 21-early 22. That's what I saw from a website but I could be wrong.

[@lostfound34]

That's what Lincoln did with the previous model Escalade and the old Escalade still outsold it.

[@miguelircontar]

I don’t think nothing can beat the Escalade lol Still don’t like the rear of the Lincoln but the front is 🔥

[@dmack7265]

Not a fan of the new Escalade's interior. Lincoln needs to redo the rear but, of course, we have to wait for the redesigned.

[@hellkitty1014]

Indeed. Cadillac figured it out...AGAIN. It's just something about how the Escalade just continues to be formidable.

[@yammmit]

Nothing is a pretty low bar. You must really hate the Escalade.

[@christopherstreet2214]

Miguel Ircontar you’re right the rear is not elegant enough .... I think when Lincoln refreshes the navigator they are going to truly go for blood

[@shaundayful]

Few things that make it fall off for me. 1. The rear end is too reminiscent of the 2015 refresh and doesn’t fall in line with the front end and doesn’t go well with the overall design elements like the aviator does. 2. The center stack screen just jets out the dashboard and looks like an after thought. It’s not integrated into the dash in anyway. Such as the new Cadillac CT5, that screen also pops out the dash but it’s integrated in a less “after thought” fashion. 3. The soft touch dashboard and upper portion of the door panels is leatherette/vinyl material. To get the soft leather you have to upgrade to “black label” which every dealer isn’t even certified for so shouldn’t that really be part of the true top level trim, reserve? Just a thought. 4. The Turbo charged V6 has plenty of power and punch but due to the weight of the vehicle it sounds like it is trying to compensate constantly and for that sounds like a toy car. 5. The independent rear suspension also did not make the ride amazingly great as all the reviews have stated. In all honesty the ride felt as though it was a solid rear axle which in reality isn’t bad(especially after testing the Cadillac Escalade) but an IRS makes for loads of rear legroom. Just a few things I noticed from short term ownership!

[@slimnieves]

Nice breakdowns and Excellent call outs! . I wish it also had the rear view mirror camera like a lot of competitors. Also, the information cluster is big but not really all that functional. Lastly, I think the camera can be much better quality and more camera angles like the competitors. Jmo

[@ayushmaster4495]

This car has its own level of luxury you guys are outstanding 🤘🤘 Thank you so much both of you☺️☺️

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! 😁

[@johnroberts9823]

A truly beautiful car, luxurious & extravagantly appointed - very much in the Lincoln tradition. Your coupons were literally lost in space!! Thanks for this review - I sent it over to a friend contemplating a big move up. Excellent work, as always! 😎

[@mintruth]

That wheel design is GORGEOUS!!!

[@Those2menoverthere]

The back of this still makes me feel like I’m looking at the back of a Ford F-150 Platinum.

[@martian3250]

Exactly

[@DiegoHernandez-bq1ce]

This is the same comparison to ford Expedition planimum black 2021

[@johnroberts9823]

Congrats on 165k subs - you’re climbing the charts, guys! 💥😊

[@CarConfections]

Gracias! 👍👍

[@gaddyify]

The 2021 Escalade has Lincoln fanboy wanting a fresh update, of the Navigator after Lincoln gave it a total refresh, only 3 years ago.

[@MC89396]

My wife has the new Escalade sport platinum and i have the navigator black label and the Escalade kills it in tech but I’m surprised to say even with the magneride on the Escalade i feel like the navigator is a touch more comfortable over bumps and a little quieter inside the cabin. Comparing the stereos there’s no comparison. The Escalades is amazing. Second only to the s class burmester high end optioned stereo system Mercedes has for the highest end vehicles. That thing is unreal. But the navigators is 85% there to the Escalades. I think they both look good. Navi looks better for an older gentleman as the Escalade is more for the younger generation that wants to be flashy. So the cadi has the tech and stereo and a better interior. The navi has a smoother ride as well as a more insulated cabin. So it all depends on what you want should you not be able to have it all if you don’t wish to shell out $500k+ for the rolls Royce Cullinan. I take the navi more as I’m trying to be a little more subtle and i prefer ride quality and insulation over looks. They’re both phenomenal. But to be honest the Lexus LX is still the most comfortable large luxury suv I’ve ever had the pleasure to have. Range Rover is better than them all but you’ll only get to enjoy it for 3 months and 5k miles before the breakdowns begin and it turns into a shop queen. It was CONSTANTLY being fixed/repaired or tweaked. It was a 2021. Was awful. If it didn’t break down I’d take that all day

[@darriontunstall3708]

I love the 2021 Lincoln Navigator! It’s very nice and Expensive! I love it!

[@Monoplacophora]

Damn that thing is gorgeous

[@sysphotography]

I have a 03 Lincoln town car. I’m keeping that and looking to grab this baby next year. Love Lincoln ❤

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

Hold up don't crown the Escalade just yet. This Navigator is still a fly full size SUV. This is the type of vehicle that if you take it to a fast food drive through and present coupons and they see this beast and the workers there will really look at you sideways 😄

[@lostfound34]

The old Escalade out sold the navigator 2 to 1. The new Escalade will destroy this thing.

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

Huh we'll see about that when both vehicles approach 100K miles and see that reality will set in when the Escalade will spend more time in the shop than the Navigator

[@nickabbatiello828]

Fabulous video of the Lincoln Navigator!! You guys are the best!!

[@Angel.p.games2013]

Gorgeous navigator as always but i still don't get used to whole black wheels, simply i can't note them

[@hubertablake4086]

Great video guys! 📹 Love the review of the Navigator. But I will still definitely go with the new Escalade. Looking forward to when Lincoln will do the redesign of the Navigator which will be interesting to see what they will bring to the table.

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

I still considered to buy 20' Lincoln Navigator.

[@LeadfootLou]

At $94k I could buy myself 4 Konas and a Yugo. 🤪 great review guys!!! Keep up the great work 👍

[@Kered-9]

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

I could buy myself a Nissan Murano and a Lexus RX!

[@readyforpushbackjet]

[@senjin88]

In my region Escalade is 20k$ more expensive than Navigator for top of the line options, at that price difference do you recommend Navigator?

[@doolittlegeorge]

Love the 4x2 and so clearly best in class still it's amazing the best keep getting better. Not a fan of the screen design which General Motors has clearly defined as "best of the best" but holistically simply put Lincoln remains top dog in a market segment where Brand Loyalty is everything and appears to be true across the entire Lincoln Brand lineup at the moment.

[@alialabbas1982]

Love this other than Escalade

[@vdelrio999]

Mmm. I don't know about that Ecoboost. I'd drive an older refurbished Navigator or an V-8 or EV upgraded one.

[@EpicConspiracy]

I thought that once until I bought a F150 eco boost. I’ll never go back to V8. These motors are unreal.

[@piperlani]

Can’t beat a V8 for this class

[@mrhawk1924]

The Cadillac escalator is nice and the Tahoe country high is very nice

[@admiralblue9324]

AS A LINCOLN CONTINENETAL BLACK LABEL OWNER, I AM PROUD OF LINCOLN.

[@autopreneur]

Cadillac and Lincoln got some competition (or so it's said) next year: Jeep Grand Wagoneer

[@patrickcallan8256]

YOu didn't mention the active noise cancelling in the Navigator. Is it standard on all trim levels or only on the black label? How much does that really change the noise level in the vehicle?

[@tominator3]

Looks amazing...except would prefer a different wood in the interior

[@leroy5202]

Crazy how the Navigators third row has more legroom than the second row and only 1 inch less than the front.

🎵"I know the door code, I know the door code!"🎵

[@alejandro11000]

Also, I feel like the EcoBoost should be cheaper as the standard engine and a SC 5.2 from the GT500 as an option to better compete with the Germans

[@damilolaakanni]

It's possible, but they'll have to tune the engine to handle towing. But that would probably compete with the GLS 63 AMG since the BMW X7 is not exactly in its size class, and there's no mention of an X7M in the works. I'm not sure Ford wants to go in that direction, because they are in love with their Ecoboost engines.

[@alejandro11000]

@@damilolaakanni 100% true. I bet if they did go that route, way more people would buy the lincolns because I feel like the reason people go with GM is because the V8s. Only if Ford listened to their customers.

[@damilolaakanni]

@@alejandro11000 in this case you have to sacrifice one thing to get the other. GM offers you reliable V8s at the expense of gas mileage, Ford offers you more power and (theoretically) better gas mileage at the expense of reliability. I've heard of some reliable ecoboost engines, but they probably won't be as reliable as GM's 5.3 and 6.2 V8s.

[@alejandro11000]

@@damilolaakanni yeah, it what a lot of people say, the EcoBoosts are technically Eco OR Boost and not as reliable as say a Coyote

I'm convinced. I will buy this at the end of the year.

[@johndough6777]

Great vehicle and great review, but doing this review with a church looming in the background makes it look more like a hearse than a luxury SUV. LOL.

[@jodycwilliams]

The Cadillac still has the cheap GM plastic in many places, and the turning radius is worse than my F350 Dually. The Navigator is 10x better to drive and the quality of materials absolutely blows every GM vehicle out of the water. Until GM addresses the interior material issues they have, they will always be second rate, especially in terms of luxury vehicles.

[@guniseran]

They need to tweak back end to look more bold and masculine

[@ferencvad8251]

With climbing fuel prices this car will cost you a lot just to operate it.... this car should be hybrid (not plug in hybrid) and should have at least 32-35 mpg in the city. Now we talking now it’s affordable. Till then keep wasting your money to create fuel hogs. And yes we want big full size suv, with luxury AND good mpg!! It’s possible!! DO IT!! We don’t want small hybrid compact suv with poor luxury. So now you know what people want.

[@jbmcdoogle]

That's on fugly vehicle but at least they have amber indicators in the back.
