Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac Escalade offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Lincoln Navigator, with comparable head- and legroom. The Cadillac Escalade will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lincoln Navigator.

Convenience
With the Lincoln Navigator, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Cadillac Escalade, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Cadillac Escalade or the Lincoln Navigator, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac Escalade is much slimmer than the Lincoln Navigator, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Cadillac Escalade takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Lincoln Navigator.

Performance
With the Lincoln Navigator, you'll be able to pull heavier loads than with the Cadillac Escalade. The Cadillac Escalade has a little less horsepower than the Lincoln Navigator.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Cadillac Escalade doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Lincoln Navigator.

Utility
