A full-size SUV needs precision engineering to keep you moving. Having enough power means you’ll be confident taking on whatever the road ahead has in store.
The engine is the heart of your SUV. A fierce and expertly designed motor is essential to your journey, especially when you have a full cabin. Lincoln engineering goes above and beyond to provide the intensity you need, outpacing what the Escalade can do. Even with matching 4x4 drivetrains and transmissions, the Lincoln Navigator is a clear choice.

Every driver can appreciate the perks of excellent fuel economy. A vehicle that makes better use of its gas tank means spending less time and money at the pump for the years you and your SUV are exploring the open road. Improved efficiency is an eco-friendly move, too, adding to the importance of an expertly designed machine.
The Escalade requires immense power to move its frame. It can travel an EPA-estimated 14 city/18 highway MPG, meaning you’ll need to schedule regular pit stops. The Lincoln Navigator, however, easily rises above. It achieves an EPA-estimated 16 city/22 highway MPG, letting you spend more time on the road between each refueling. *It makes a significant difference over time, making the Navigator a smart choice for the future.
Peace of mind is also a prime concern, especially when driving with family and friends. More support and intelligent systems will give you added confidence on the highway, so you’ll want a model with more security.
Technology is advancing every day, making immense strides in how we drive. The Lincoln Navigator and Escalade have many systems in common to protect you and your passengers. These features use advanced sensors and computing to complement your safe driving habits for enhanced safety.
- Pre-Collision Assist
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane Keeping System
- Hill Start Assist
- Hands-Free Driving Assist
These technologies give you an advantage when situations evolve on the road. Having even more of these features means more confidence, which is where the Lincoln Navigator pulls ahead.
Along with several key features standard in many of today’s SUVs, the Lincoln Navigator offers even more safety systems in Lincoln Co-Pilot360® 2.0. These standard systems are either available only on select Escalade trims or not found in the Cadillac at all. Thanks to these added systems, you can continue to drive fully confident in your vehicle’s ability.
- Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control
- 360-Degree Camera
- Blind Spot Information System
- Intersection Assist
- Active Park Assist 2.0
A luxury vehicle is only complete when it has state-of-the-art inclusions. Added design elements for your comfort and convenience turn travel into a highlight of your day, and each model has several key benefits.
Staying connected helps you manage your busy schedule. The infotainment systems in each SUV allow you to connect your phone, access messages and apps, and stay informed while you’re out and focused on the road. Since there are so many systems, an easier way of commanding them will simplify your drive.
Only the Navigator has the convenience of SYNC® 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition. You can use natural spoken commands to ask for nearby restaurants, get a traffic report, stream your favorite music, and more. SYNC® 4 is your intelligent copilot, ready to assist you with a simple spoken command.
Lincoln goes even further to make a uniquely luxurious vehicle. The Piano Key Shifter, for example, is a special gear shift that turns driving into a symphony. It’s sleek and built into the center console, out of the way yet still a star of the show.
The Lincoln Navigator also lets you personalize up to three key fobs with unique driver profiles. Each profile can save its preferred settings, such as mirror placement, audio and climate settings, and seat position. The Lincoln Navigator is the way to go if you plan on having a true family vehicle.
The sheer luxury quality of the Lincoln Navigator makes this SUV a clear choice for your family’s next adventure. Its superior engineering and opulent amenities make for a memorable drive through Sarasota, Bradenton, and Venice, FL every day.
