What makes a Lincoln Navigator the benchmark for the luxury SUV market
Considering The Competition?
Learn why the Navigator is the advantageous choice. Find information on each vehicle below, and read how the Navigator stacks up against them!
Cadillac Escalade
Starting at $98,387
Infiniti QX80
Starting at $84,095
Mercedes Benz GLS
Starting at $110,000
Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Starting at $106,290
Cadillac is known for its over-the-top opulence, but in recent years, they’ve taken a step away from that. They have recently been designing vehicles with sharp angles and sporty designs. This is where the Navigator shines, with much classier design elements, plush leather details, and loads of luxurious touches throughout. Some have found that as Cadillac has changed its designs over to a sportier look, the feel has changed as well. This leads to a somewhat harsher ride quality when compared to the Lincoln Navigator.
The new QX80 is a little outdated… already…
While Infiniti has been known to make some amazing cars, and some very reliable products over the years, they aren’t up to par with some of the recent advancements in design and tech. The QX80 is a nice SUV, but is missing some of the new and exciting tech and design changes that we have come to know and love in the automotive industry. Not to mention, the QX80 comes equipped with a relatively slow and underpowered V8, in contrast to the Lincoln Navigator 3.5L V6 that is notabley more fuel efficient.
If you want to pay for every feature, choose the Mercedes Benz GLS
If your goal is to option out the least powerful, most expensive luxury SUV, then the Mercedes Benz GLS is the way to go. The GLS is a great SUV with a plethora of options but can add up extremely fast without even realizing it. You can spend very little time and end up accidentally optioning this vehicle to over $130,000 and not even have all the options ticked. Most of these options aren’t as much customization based as they are actual performance and safety-altering options and packages a la carte. The navigator comes standard with more features than the Mercedes Benz GLS and can be optioned in a similar way for significantly less money. It is also important to note that this BASE MODEL GLS is equipped with a 3.0L Inline 6 with only 362HP.
Owning a Grand Wagoneer is like owning a subscription to the gas station.
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is a massive, V8-powered 3 row SUV with the aerodynamics of an Amazon package. While it is a very nice SUV with many great standard options, and can be equipped exceptionally well, over the long run, it is just going to cost too much. You’ll likely be spending nearly $10,000 a year in gas alone if you only visit the pumps once a week based on current local gas prices. If this doesnt appeal to you, look no further than the Lincoln Navigator in your research! You’ll find basically every feature you’d want from the Grand Wagoneer in the Lincoln Navigator, but takes the luxury aspect to another level.
The Results
The Lincoln Navigator is a perfectly priced 3-row luxury SUV that is sure to impress. You will find elegant touches and unique details plastered throughout the interior and exterior. When looking at all these choices, optioned out to be as equal as possible, the Navigator is the best option and saves you money for things such as a set of winter tires.
The Navigator comes standard with a 3.5L V6 with 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. It has the incredible towing capability with up to 8,300 lbs with the available Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package. This ensures you’ll never be looking for more power, as the Lincoln Navigator is a highly capable 3-row SUV.
