Full-Size American Luxury SUV Comparison: 2018 Lincoln Navigator vs 2018 Cadillac Escalade

This is a very close comparison but not an exact one-to-one Full-Size American Luxury SUV Comparison since we have the extended version of the Escalade but not the longer version of the Navigator. Also the Escalade is RWD while the Navigator is 4WD. Pricing for the 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum 4x2 starts at $96,795 while the 2018 Lincoln Navigator Black Label 4x4 goes for $93,705.
When you buy a large Luxury SUV like this it’s about making a statement so you need a prominent front end. Lincoln has applied their new corporate grill to the Navigator. The Escalade meanwhile has been using the same front fascia for a while and it still looks great. Both of these top-of-the-line models are riding on 22-inch rims.
The Lincoln Navigator SUV is powered by a 3.5 liter twin-turbocharged V-6 that makes 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft. of torque. The Cadillac Escalade is powered by a 6.2 liter V-8 making 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft. of torque.

[@masterofwhales]

@ I'll just be a one term, or even less, orange clown That's where you are incredibly wrong. Germans hate their own cars and prefer American cars. But because American cars fetch an import premium, not many can buy them. I've been to Germany hundreds of times and many tell me they prefer American cars and would buy one if they were equally priced.

[@USA____]

D Tay totally agree the Lincoln is much better but the Escalade does have the better back

[@denziiey]

Rico Robertson Rico I understand you statement with regards to European cars being less reliable on "average". However even the Volvo XC90 is a better class vehicle than the Escalade. These American vehicles have bold looks which is what people like but inferior wise omg its tacky and doesn't suit the price tag. The Lincoln steps up however its design aesthetic suits an older crowd.

[@RAY-THE-WAY]

I'll just be a one term, or even less, orange clown *Facepalm* “classless” um half the European cars that’s “luxurious” only ppl with millions of dollars can afford. I’m pretty sure even Europeans can’t afford a Bentley or Rolls-Royce. American luxury cars are for everyone and anyone not just for someone with millions of dollars. “In Europe nearly no one wants to be seen in a an American car” So explain why the Ford Fiesta and the Ford Fusion BOTH being American cars are the top selling sedans in Europe? Like the guy who commented stated “you’re not being from Europe proves your ignorance” or something to that order

I Finn caddy. I can deal with the Cue, not a big problem with me. I’ve had experiences wit the old cue. It was fine. Didn’t upset me. I think the Cadillac car I was in was a STS or ST6 I don’t remember. This was back in 2012 it was a nice ass caddy. It was super super smooth it had remote start and it had push to start with the smart key access too. Which is really dated now to every car brand. I would take the Cadillac because it’s more authentic to me. It’s the car everyone would want. Who’s really gonna wanna buy a Ford for 95k when you can go buy a better ford/Rand Rover for the same price and the Range Rover would be better!? I would rather have the Range Rover than the Navigator. Cadillac I would take any day. Cadillac is like the king of luxury. Nothing can be it. Nothing is as smooth as it. Nothing is as good as it. I mean. Unless you go get a foreign car. But that’s no real American luxury.

[@CMH_1975]

For 96k you'd think 4wd would be standard on the Escalade. What a joke

[@mh-on7fp]

Pennywise, absolutely not! Many drivers prefer the better fuel economy, or quicker acceleration and better handling of a RWD system. With electronic traction control and stability control, there is rarely a need for the more complex drivetrain (think reliability) of a 4WD system (unless off-road performance is desired). At this price-point drivers demand optional choices to meet their driving preferences; the more choices the better.

[@ktpinnacle]

I think more luxury buyers would miss the entertainment features missing in the Navi than the 4WD in the Expy for the same money.

[@RAY-THE-WAY]

ktpinnacle entertainment? Who uses mounted TVs anymore? This is not 2005.

[@CMH_1975]

Raymond Jameson being I see plenty of new Navigator's with screens mounts on the back of the front seats on a daily basis I'd say a lot of people still do.

[@CMH_1975]

m h the only thing that would make any sense is the fuel economy, but by the time you're at this point in price what is 1 or 2 mpg less? You're really not losing much. Acceleration? Really? It's a damn bus. It's not supposed to be blistering fast. If you live in a state that gets terrible winter's 4wd will work better than any stability or traction control. My 2017 Explorer Sport is 4wd standard and only comes into play when the drive wheels slip. Nothing complex about it.

[@japhethbonnema]

Mike Hoard also worth noting that the reliability issues have been through the electronics, which I find dumb that they prioritize that over mechanical issues since infotainment replacements are cheaper and easier but oh well

[@guppy2842]

Mike Hoard The Escalade actually blows the navigator away with more stuff such as extra tech such as teen driver tech and meg Eric steering control, the options of two DVD players for the second and third row, better torque, a better mpg, a better styled and comfortable interior, an aggressive yet stylish exterior coming standard with auto deploying boards, a better engine, a similar starting price, and a more leg room. Now the Navigator is the one that is unreliable, because it just had a nasty recall having to also deal with the Expedition and f150. www.autonews.com/article/20180406/OEM11/180409758/ford-recall-f-150-expedition-transmissions Ford and Lincoln have also had the most recalls since the 90’s. Ford and Lincoln also have less experience than GM, because the Expedition and navigator started in the 1990’s when large SUVs were all the rage, but the Escalades sibling, the suburban started all the way back in 1935, having the longest running nameplate in automotive history. The Lincoln and Escalade did place side by side in the crash test, but the Escalade did do better in the rollover crash test than the navigator did. The Escalade also technically is 3inches longer and 5 inches wider making it the larger vehicle that it is.

[@TheZayGS]

The Navigator wins in every single way. The exterior and interior both look more modern and luxurious and when equipped properly it competes more with a Range Rover than an Escalade, which is a massive accomplishment for Lincoln. The Escalade was made in 2015 and the interior design and amenities of the vehicle just don't compare to what's considered a true luxury SUV in 2018.

[@guppy2842]

Zay Springer But have you taken into consideration that the Escalade has more class in the exterior and interior, boasting a more aggressive but stylish design. The Escalade also offers more tech such as teen driver technology and magnetic steering control. The Escalade also has more legroom in the front passenger and drivers seats. The Escalade also has a better mpg and better performance like off-roading. The navigator does beat the Escalade in towing, but that’s the only thing the Navi actually wins in. The Escalade places higher in the suv class than the navigator does, ranked by cars.com usnews.com and caranddriver.com . Have you also taken into consideration that Lincoln and ford just had two recalls about their expedition, navigator, and f150. Here it is www.autonews.com/article/20180406/OEM11/180409758/ford-recall-f-150-expedition-transmissions The ford motor company is also one of the most unreliable companies to buy from considering that they have had the most recalls since the 90’s. The Escalade also places at the side of the navigator in crash testing, which both do very well in. The Escalade however does better on the rollover crash testing than the navigator does.

[@mybro727]

What is this guy talking about?

[@Jack.Strait]

@@guppy2842 Actually, according to consumer reports, the Escalade has been the most unreliable SUV in its segment for many years.

[@guppy2842]

JackStrait That is 100% false, the Cadillac is actually placed in 7th for the most reliable car brand to buy from by businessinsider.com Whilst Ford isn’t even in the top 15. Btw this is a Dumb-Bitch Free Zone, you aren’t allowed here :)

[@gilat6]

I'd like to put the Lincoln's interior into the Cadillac and it would perfect.

[@mskud9996]

Escalade has the gear shifter since its birth and never changed. Keep up the good work. 😉

[@jeffs6090]

Well, Navigator is practically all new while the Escalade is on a several year old platform. It has been refreshed every other year, but they need a full redesign to really compete with a new Navi, especially the interior seats and tech. The 5th gen Caddy looks to be a 2020 model, and the pic of it is rather sharp!

[@snakehandler87]

Good pick

[@Meighew]

Lincoln looks more refined on the outside while the Escalate screams Look at me! Look at me! Driving both myself, the interior of the Lincoln is the best right now. Sames goes for all the electronics and the layout of the interior. I too love a V8 over a V6 but I felt the Lincoln was faster and the sound (while not the same as the V8) was lower and more growl then what one would expect from a turbo V6. I believe Cadi had a couple years R&D before they catch up.

[@Derikimi]

The Cadillac just has a stronger road presence and the Lincoln just has an art museum in the inside.

[@carlozzz3300]

These Lincoln's seats alone look so comfortable

[@kellingtonlink956]

An excellent review. Very well done. Thanks so much!

[@MilesPerHr]

Thanks for the feedback, Kellington!

[@wolfman2926]

I’m more of a Chevy guy but I would take the Lincoln for sure!

[@jaidencoleman6433]

Note the current generation Cadillac Escalade has been on the market for 4 almost 5 years. The Navigator was just recently redesigned. The exterior clearly goes to the Escalade and the interior goes to the Navigator. But a new Escalade is in the making to hopefully maintain the crown and the king of lavish 3 row SUVS

[@123space8]

For everyone saying the navigator is better than the escalade you guys do know the escalade model year is 4 years old vs the all new navigator that came out this year and I still think the escalade wins

[@user-lf9cm5we7m]

I’m waiting for this comparison، I think your channel first channel do it. Thanks very much.

[@MilesPerHr]

Glad we could accommodate!

[@nawaf3169]

Yes, so I looked for this comparison between the two cars but I did not find them except in this channel

[@nawaf3169]

I think Lincoln is win

[@hamed943]

Ahmed Car Confection did this comparison a month ago ....... check their youtube channel

[@A.GH7]

هههههههههههههه لا يشيخ

[@tomcat6933]

You look like a dwarf next to these suv's. I can't focus on the suv's. I went to look at the ford expedition and it is 63k which i am considering since it is cheaper. Parked next to the ford explorers the explorer looks like a CUV instead of a SUV.

[@MilesPerHr]

At 6-feet tall, that's just how large they are. Crazy.

[@Aurora_v_cali]

Tom Boyle short guy calling a guy short, is what your saying.....

[@MrGermanorellana]

Tom Boyle 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jadandrei4772]

Tom Boyle heyy dont judge or your a dwarf your bullying bro didnt make any sense for you

[@MrTheMiguelox]

The explorer is a CUV, because it is loosely based on the taurus platform instead of being truck based like these are therefore it is unibody and doesn't have a full frame.

[@TheeJonJones]

Very detailed review I enjoyed watching, definitely helped my decision

[@ryanmack7781]

You gonna watch this in 10 years

[@paljasbackpackers5525]

I watched so many of these reviews and this guy is one of the best. Good overall presentation

[@AdvancedUSA]

As much as I want to like the Navigator I can’t. Start with a V6 on the Lincoln and I’m done right there. Pull up in a Lincoln next to a Escalade and see who’s looking at whom. Eyes are on the Escalade.

[@xXpilotUSA]

Yeah I’m sticking with the Cadillac Escalade esv

[@cdawg3506]

It sucks compared to the Navi lol

[@alabhaya9]

This is a great comparison u have explained each and every single detail , great video

[@johnpitcher8451]

I really liked the reviewer's style, he gave me a great impression of both vehicles and was entertaining to watch. Excellent review.

[@kr63]

I’ll have navigator’s interior with the Escalade’s exterior please!

[@louisbarningham]

Lincoln is the best!

[@cam_DA_Hawkdriver]

Navigator by far. Lincoln is really stepping up their game and has passed the leader in this segment. Let me say, the Continental is something awesome too!!

[@petethetrucker7816]

I hope Cadillac watched this___ a lot to learn from both side___ great video 👍🏾

[@davidjym]

I could buy 3 'decent' cars with $90,000 ...........

[@ericmoody4105]

I agree

[@masterofwhales]

Or you could buy a Navigator and cruise in luxury, instead of "decent".

[@davidjym]

Or cruise as target of hijacking in these 'Luxury' vehicles .....

[@BoldBrandFlakes]

Or you can buy 2 “amazing” cars that won’t depreciate HARD in value over the years unlike these.

[@anthonymolina7416]

Kevin Avina that slow boat

[@cuthevayo5017]

Lincoln interior absolutely Gorgeous 👌👌 But exterior they both look like hearses 😱😱😱

[@johnniroalmarez5111]

navigator : for big boss / CEO / president escalade : for bodyguards explorer : for police

[@roycejohnson4010]

What are you talking about the Lincoln front end looks aggressive and more luxurious and the turn signal is halogens no LED like the expedition platinum and Lincoln Navigator and not as boxy and death trap like like the Cadillac Escalade

[@jxzn9144]

the Cadillac looks like it was released in 2005

[@edm5166]

No third row comparison

[@mikewellington2738]

That’s why my family decided to get the old Navigator...the third row space is way better than any GM product.

[@cnvq8833]

only because they didnt have a navigator L to compare with the escalade ESV or they would have done that.

[@cnvq8833]

And actually the navigator L seats are smaller than Escalade ESV in the 3rd row.

[@jsmit1737]

CNVQ that was a very invalid comment. Escalade seats are smaller and very uncomfortable. Navigator had independent rear suspension which allows them to have better foot space and not have your knees into your chest. Actually adults can fit in the navigator third row. Also the navigator is wider than the Escalade. The Escalade has a simple 60/40 split bench. And the bench is very flat.

[@edm5166]

Based on other reviews I've watched, I haven't experienced either car, the Lincoln accommodates adults on the third row. The lesson here is not to compare apples and oranges I guess

[@pianofry1138]

I really like the rear end of the Lincoln I never understood why Cadillac couldn't give up those 4 foot tail lights they put on everything since the 50s.

[@LVS1111]

If the Lincoln and the Cadillac had a baby that would be perfect!

[@Domini0n1]

Lincoln all the way on this one

[@jdord4838]

Without question the Navigator wins the interior looks like something out of Architectural Digest..."Yeshua / Jesus is the way "

[@rottree]

I love both of them. Those are a symbol of American full-size SUV. Powerful, Huge, Low fuel efficiency..

[@RSTI191]

The Navigator interior reminds of the inside of a Lear Jet.. It's pretty slammin'..

[@josemanuel5749]

Even if Lincoln wins by far, my heart and my wallet would pick the Cadillac because the Column Shifter and the V8

[@sobirhussaini4903]

Jose Manuel A V8 with less power and torque than the V6... that’s sad

[@jadrianprater5331]

Sobir Hussaini that v6 turbo probably won't last past 250,000 and turbo engines normally require more maintenance.

[@sobirhussaini4903]

chris jonshonson I have see plenty of ecoboost F-150’s with over 300,000 miles and if you maintain your turbos, you should have no major issues.

[@ShortbusBoss]

Jose Manuel ill take a DOHC ford over a pushrod gm.

[@ChargePositive]

chris jonshonson but the Escalade already has terrible reliability

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

Why do car reviewers think anyone gives a shit about their opinion of a vehicles styling?

[@liberalweirdo7886]

Kevin CinnamonToast probably pretty important if you’re thinking about buying one. What do you fuckin blindfold yourself before you buy a car idiot

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

I could NOT care less about what a " car reviewer" thinks about vehicle styling. Why do you think it is pretty important? I ctrlc/v your original reply in case you realize how confused you seem. Highlighted reply QueensYankeesFan 1 minute ago Kevin CinnamonToast probably pretty important if you’re thinking about buying one. What do you fuckin blindfold yourself before you buy a car idiot

[@liberalweirdo7886]

Kevin CinnamonToast you don’t think the styling on a car is important?? Seriously??

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

I find the opinions of vehicle styling from car reviewers UNimportant. Are you new to the English language? Work on your reading comprehension. Words have meaning, they convey thoughts, concepts,commands etc. The opinions on styling by a reviewer is absolutely irrelevant. Capiche? Do you understand?

[@liberalweirdo7886]

Kevin CinnamonToast lol okay genius go drive your uninspiring Prius ya Hillary voter. Another guy who would never talk to this way to ppl if not behind a computer screen

[@charlesmarshall2697]

I have not ridden in a new Navigator, but just took a trip in a brand new Escalade and was shocked that road noise was excessive and ride was rough in comparison to a similar trip I made in a new Chrysler Pacifica Van. The Pacifica was silky smooth as well as whisper quiet. That van was so quiet that it seemed almost motionless at 80 MPH. I also rode in a new King Ranch 150 Ford that was smoother and quieter than the Escalade, but not as quiet or smooth as the Pacifica.

[@richardgribble8438]

I've always loved Lincoln's but the comparison still keeps me in Lincoln's corner

[@camaro_kyle6851]

I can't say this enough.... NO SHIT that the navigator will have better features, its like 2 years newer than the escalade which gives it the leg up in this case. When the escalade gets revamped it will most likely resemble the escala and have like 500hp (hopefully) You guys dont have to keep saying "the lincoln is better" Because its obvious

[@andrewwhite5422]

yea its obvious that lincoln is better

[@toni5937]

CAMARO_KYLE ... Did i mention that Lincoln is Better :)

[@nathangarcia5141]

You big goofy. They're both 2018. And ya Lincoln is better.

[@andrewgammo8936]

People should wait... Cadillac always does better. Remember the old navigator?? The new Escalade is gonna come as a surprise. Watch out Lincoln.

[@matthewtyler5194]

Cadillac all day long! Has a proper 6.2L V8

[@jsmit1737]

Matthew Tyler same ole engine since 2007.

[@danielanju960]

V8 that slower than V6. Nice.

[@Ckcdillpickle]

@@danielanju960 A V8 that sounds better and for more reliable than a V6 with turbos

[@Ckcdillpickle]

@PGm issa I have over 150k, 210k, and 15k miles on GM transmissions and they all run fine.

[@Ckcdillpickle]

@PGm issa yeah, maybe at 400k. 200k is reasonable enough.

[@mscongeniality8205]

Your MPG numbers are wrong. The 6.2L v8 in the Cadillac Escalade is just as fuel efficient and gets the same mpg on the highway as the Lincoln Navigator

[@Joehatrix]

*Both are gorgeous! There's also the GMC Yukon Denali XL*
