THE CADILLAC ESCALADE VS LINCOLN NAVIGATOR
When it comes to purchasing an SUV, shoppers have to choose between purchasing a regular SUV or a full-size SUV. Those seeking added passenger/cargo space, versatility, and capabilities, typically opt to go with the full-size SUV as their next vehicle purchase. A great example of how all of these characteristics come together into one luxury full-size SUV is in the 2017 Cadillac Escalade. Competition such as the 2017 Lincoln Navigator also put their best foot forward in this niche class of vehicles, but the 2017 Cadillac Escalade remains a consumer favorite.
To start, the 2017 Cadillac Escalade is a more powerful and spacious option. Even at its base 4x2 trim level, the 2017 Cadillac Escalade comes equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 engine with 420 horsepower/460 lb.-ft. of torque. The Navigator, at its base level, only offers a 3.5-liter Turbo V6 with 380 horsepower/ 460-lb-ft of torque. Breaking down the overall passenger volume of these two vehicles, the Cadillac Escalade allows for 172 cu.ft., while the Lincoln Navigator only provides 160 cu.ft. When it comes front legroom, front headroom, front shoulder room, the Escalade once again outshines the Navigator with more space in each of these categories.
There are many convenience and safety features that also paly into the popularity of the 2017 Cadillac Escalade. Available massaging front seats are the most unique and indulgent of them all, but we can't say we're not impressed by this offer! Head-up display also makes for a more comfortable and safe ride, allowing drivers to review selected information on the front windshield, meaning there is never a need to take your eyes off the road. Cadillac Cue is another unique Cadillac feature that integrates with Smart Phones, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to access vehicle functions via voice command, including text messaging, music, navigation, and more.
The 2017 Cadillac Escalade is an impressive full-size luxury SUV that provides shoppers with everything they would expect from a vehicle in this class and more. Its combination of power, comfort, and convenience ultimately make it a more intelligent purchase than the 2017 Lincoln Navigator.
