@@dirtynails7582 Yeah, kinda. I think they should go more sporty, bring back sedans, and focus on better mechanics. Lincoln is not known for its great mechanical properties. They break down ALL the time.
As full size luxury SUVs go I have a tie for my two favorite the Lincoln Navigator and the Mercedes-Benz GLS I think the biggest problem with the Escalade is it's not all that distinctive from its other gm SUVs and when you pay over 80k for one having an Escalade that looks like a suburban is not a good thought to have
HopAlong09 couldn’t agree more. If I can’t get the Culinan (which looks insane on the road having finally saw one), give me the Caddy. Back to being the standard....
Test drove both last week with the wife (her car). I liked the Escalade and what they did on the new model. The tech was amazing in this high end model. However, she decided on the Navigator mainly because she felt the interior was more open and the material and comfort of the Navigator’s seats are amazing. Both nice cars but I wanted her to try both before deciding. I did have her watch this video before we shopped. She was leaning Caddy, but couldn’t compete with the Lincoln’s interior at the end.
I have owned both, and I can tell you that more people may initially be impressed with the Escalade's infotainment screens, but that's about where the gimmicks end on the Escalade. The Navigator is a LOT more comfortable in all 3 rows of seating, and has a much more usable front center console AND a 2nd row console. Also, the 3.5 Ecoboost is WAY more responsive and powerful than the 6.2L V8 in the Escalade. It's crazy how they both have the same transmission and similar power numbers on paper, but in real world applications the Navigator gets up and MOVES by comparison.
@@samsigrest7509 Cadillacs highest trim is still no where near the Lincoln’s if you sat in the new Escalade or Yukon Denali you can tell immediately there is no competition when it comes to that
Both suvs have something to offer. I still like the look of the Lincoln Navigator. And it's not because I own one 2000 Lincoln Navigator 4x4 or my other 2 Lincoln's, 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII Diamond Anniversary Edition and 1979 Lincoln Mark V Collector's Series. The Cadillac Escalade is more sporty the Lincoln Navigator is more elegant.
Love the dash cluster on the Escalade but I have to say the navigator interior is much more Royal and love how the navigator symbol comes out of the grill and lights up
The black out look is because its the sports trim which commentator forgot to mention. The non sport trim has chrome grill and sides and color scheme for interior is totally different..have to give this a thumbs down since he should've noted what the trim level was..
Exactly, Cadillac had three years with this Navigator to provide a response to Ford’s offering. They gave it a cool dash screen and BMW inspired interior.
Raymond Altinzi The same could be said about the Navigator in 2018 when it was brand new from the ground up but people directly compared it to the outgoing 2015 model Cadillac Escalade which was 4+ years old at the time. Lol. BMW inspired interior? Most definitely. BMW has developed one of the most intuitive infotainment experiences on the market and have since gone to a more arguably “Cadillac style” interior with *touchscreen displays.* Cadillac is listening to their customers.
@@mybro727 agreed. People compared the 2018 navigator with the 2015 Escalade back in 2018 lol. But now they get butt hurt when people compare the navigator with the new 2021 Escalade Saying Its unfair to compare them since navigator is older lol but Imo I love the older gen Escalade front end tho
You can't judge it from the video, personally I've been in a Navigator and the quality of the interior wasn't that good, I'm not saying that it is bad, but comparing to the price you'll pay it should be way better. So I believe that the new Escalade's interior will be way better quality because it is already better in the previous generation.
Lol. There’s no way the interior of the Lincoln with all that shiny plastic chrome is of “better quality” than the new Escalade. The reviewer literally covered this, not to mention you can look at the interiors and see the difference in attention to detail. There isn’t a SUV in this entire segment with a rear and as forgettable and ugly as the new Lincoln Navigator’s exterior design, so I’ll have to also disagree with the exteriors being a “tie”. Lincoln fans are delusional.
I've had the pleasure of experiencing both the Cadillac for 3 years and with only having the Navigator for less than a week I honestly say the Navigator takes the Cake! The rear center console is fantastic in the Navigator! The V6 has more power better mileage and doesn't require premium gas.
I still love the Navigator to this day! Looks very elegant and classy. The interior looks of higher quality, the exterior is more luxurious styled and it just gives an overall more premium experience. I'm glad that Cadillac FINALLY updated the Escalade, but I'd still go with the Navigator for the time being.
@@Forever.Remain.Nameless how does the new one look old? It looks newer than some of the newest cars. I have an 05 and it aged perfect. I’ve gotten compliments from non car people saying they wouldn’t have guessed it was an 05
Wow. I said In my head “Cadillac all the way!” Then I turned my iPhone upright to add a comment and this was the first thing I saw! Omg that’s so crazy.
The Navigator is already looking like an old design inside and out. I’m not a fan of the Cadillacs outside design, but inside it is beautiful. Cadillac wins. I also like a real shifter, not push buttons or a rotary design.
I agree with you 100% bro. I'm so disappointed with the outside design of the Caddilac but the inside cockpit with the features is definitely better. The lincoln does look outdated bro. I hate that stupid sound that u hear every time u open the door like u hear in all Fords too..lol..
I have always been a Navigator guy but I think Cadillac has the Navigator beat. I've owned several Navigators over the years and with the new design of the Escalade for me, the Cadillac has a better overall look.
I wish that was true but my Denali had problems with lifters and I switched up to the Escalade after that and had excessive oil consumption issues that were never figured out by the dealer. No leaks just mysteriously consuming oil at about a quart every 1500 miles. Just got my second navigator after having replaced the caddy with my first twin turbo navigator that gave 120K of trouble free driving. The other bonus is the power difference too. The navigator is quicker to respond and has more power/torque at a lower RPM.
GM V8 engines are the worst of the worst. Lifter tick since New pretty much thanks to MDS horrible design. I won’t buy a GM just because of how bad the LS engines are. Pieces of shit. Nothing like a HEMI those are real reliable long lasting engines.
bugoy kikay they sure are Ford engines are pieces of shit the infamous 5.4 that shoots out spark plugs and GM follows right behind with the lifter ticking oil sucking 5.3 vortec and the 6.1 is the same piece of shit just with different heads. Ford and GM are the most unreliable pieces of shit. That’s why I only buy Mopar products. A Hemi with regular oil changes will outlive a 5.4 triton and a 5.3 Vortec put together any day. And don’t get me started on Cummins engines.
mperez564, yeah...Corvette V8s are Legendary are are still racing...but shit. Cadillac V8s are racing in IMSA and Le Mans...they kicking ass, but you think they’re shit. All those SS’ GTOs, 442s, GS’ all had crap engines. Corvette Racing & Cadillac Racing are the elite in Proto1 and GTLM Racing against: Acura, Porsche, BMW, Ferrari and Ford and Mazda just to name a few. Mopar is not represented, not even with the slower cars...Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Lexus, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. Where is Mopar and their HEMI power...btw these are mostly stock engines so Dodge should have one entry. Including Mopar with the Fiat Family is an embarrassment, I’d hate for Alfa Romeo to be sold within 5 feet of a Charger, Challenger or Pacifica. Jeep was already great so Mopar had nothing to do with that, Dodge just copied Jeep products. They need to take more advantage of their relationship with Daimler, Mercedes refuses to acknowledge their cars have Mopar parts...I don’t blame them.
Because they steal it from the cargo area. Cadillac likely knows that the 3rd row is second in priority over the cargo space, which definitely is backed up in the sheer number of units they sell over all of their competitors.
@@hellkitty1014 but in the Escalade you get the lovely third row experience of sitting with your knees in your mouth unlike the Navigator. That Navigator in that video has 103.3 cubic feet of trunk space. The Escalade has only 94.2 cubic feet. The Escalade is 211.9 inches long while the Navigator is 210 inches long.
I will admit, with the seats the cargo area in my '20 Navigator is absurdly small. However, I put them down anyways with a premium cargo carpet mat for that model. I rarely even need 4 seats, let alone 7, and I have an enormous elegant trunk. In the rare case I need 7, I'd just fold them up.
Everytime I say this, Escalade owners get upset. Look at the Escalade, GMC Yukon Denali and Chevy Tahoe. It really is basically the same vehicle just rebranded
@@Xemantic Escalade is better than navigator in every way... this and several video also prove that... Then also they are choosing navigator just for its classic interior..

I really like the Lincoln but I don't know how the new Escalade is going to be but from the latest Escalade the Lincoln was a lot better thanks for the video
Well, the Escalade looks like a SUV versión of Optimus Prime with those grand cherokee like head lights and the Navigator looks like a super big Kia. But I like them both.
@@marlonelmorefreedomisoursn9744 yes it does. Infact if you are in a parking garage, you can see the logo lights up with the lights as you approach it.
@@UProductions457 wow it seems like the navigator is the new benchmark beautiful even when you see them on the road they look elegant the only downside to it is the engine choice but I don't think you would complain when you can't hear it being that you're surrounded by so much luxury LOL but I do hope they would add a diesel engine two it's lineup after all why Australia and India should enjoy diesel engine Fords and not America
Navi all the way! I trust the Ford power more! Aluminum body is the way to go in Michigan. 4x4 is better than Awd the Escalade always seems old to me and the caddy depreciates much faster
@@IanA96 Wow now that you mention that I can definitely see the German influence. It does resemble a Mercedes gla class but larger without bowed out fenders and wide wheels.
The Escalade is a grand mixture of tech and luxury. And the Navigator is pure classic luxury. I like both. And I can’t imagine what the next generation Navigator would do to outplay the Escalade 😂😎
@@elijahdorce3183 ok hold your breath on that, that vehicle doesn't make money for Ford, its redesign 2018, couldn't outsell the old Escalade, i doubt they'll put in money on a vehicle with less than four years to redesigning so soon. You want it because you know the Escalade is better.
Terry Dixon Terry, of course the Escalade is better. I just think the Navigator would have potential to upgrade on a few things to make as good as the Escalade. It’s car manufacturing 101, ma boi.
@@elijahdorce3183 The Navigator is due for a refresh but regardless, this vehicle will not touch the '21 Escalade. Lincoln refresh the Navigator in '15 when the 4th generation Escalade came out and that vehicle could not put a dent in sales. So Lincoln needs a brand new redesign which they won't be in too hurry to bring like they did the last generation model which had an 11 year life cyle.
I feel like the Escalade is for more younger/hip people, the Navigator is for older more boogie people lol So I’m going with the Escalade now that I’m young. When I turn 45 I’ll go with the Navigator.
@@JTL-uv6cm so only four years for a vehicle that doesn't sell well, and you see why Ford is going bankrupt pretty smart from a company that doesn't have money to spend.
The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and the Cadillac Escalade account for 50% of all large SUV sales in the US. GM makes 340,000 of them every year and exports about 80,000 to 31 countries. They’re made in GM’s plant in Arlington, Texas, which is said to be the most profitable assembly plant in the world. We estimate they generate $20 billion in revenue for GM and about $4 billion in profits. Autoline Daily.
I wouldn't say so ford has it bad of not lasting long when it come to reliability they break down easily and they have better quality depending on what vehicle trim you choose just like ford
I just love the classiness of the Navigator. The Escalade is nice but doesn’t seem as grown up to me. But either way they would be choice 1 and 2 respectively if I was in the market
The only thing that work is the infotainment. The screen is small, laggy, and in a very old aspect ratio. Other than that, I hope they keep the interior unchanged for the most part. Young hippies are not the demographic of a luxury vehicle.
You forgot to look at longevity. Historically, Cadillac’s break down at an alarming rate when compared to Lincoln. Look at reliability figures as well.
Not true, its the other wymay around bro. Look at how many old Escalades are still on the road compared to Lincolns. You don't even see 01,02,03, Lincolns on the road much anymore but u see 01,02,03, Escalades all the time
@@mysteriousways8570 Dont buy American cars period if you want something realiable. Either buy a Lexus if you plan to keep it or lease a German luxury car. Either way is a lot better than buying cheap unreliable cheeseburgers on wheels.
Gotta go with the Escalade. Love it, inside and out! The Navigator exterior design falls a bit short for me. The biggest short coming is the rear, looks like a hearse. Ford, in this case Lincoln always plays it too safe. They're usually 3 to 5 years behind in exterior design.
I've heard Ford is going to soon give Lincoln more self autonamy on their designs to become a stand out Lux brand to hopefully sever the stigma from the past of being simply re-badged Ford models. We'll see where they go.
That should be a good move for Lincoln. They need some healthy separation from Ford. It would be great if Lincoln can accomplish what Lexus has as a luxury brand.
I would choose Escalade - design, style, engine & tech all place it on a pinnacle above anything else - and may even have a pricing advantage over the Navigator. Esthetically, Escalade signals a consequential presence in a way Cadillac has always sought - but now actually does with this massive and luxurious model. You guys continue to do great work with cars on this channel, and I’ve recommended you to several friends who are still looking at possible choices & are in the tire kicking stage. Best wishes to you both!
You too! Looked at one of your “blooper” uploads from awhile back - you guys have come a long way!! Hope you’ll do something similar for crazy 2020!! 😷
Definitely the Navigator, I'm a Lincoln mks man, And I must say this is me second 1. I don't want to drive anything else, can't wait till I can afford a Navigator
I bought a Lincoln and it’s just amazing ride and power to be a v6 engine and there engines last forever but I like Cadillac front grill and long classic led lights you couldn’t go wrong with either one to be honest
I'm just proud lincoln has came a long way in the last few years. They were almost dead grandma cars for a long time.
A bit like cadillac
Get a Mercedes

So stop choosing that ford vehicle...😂😂😂 Not always, ford has a winning point... Criticise it sometimes...
I'll still take the Lincoln. I like the contemporary luxury it has.
Escalade takes the win
I really like the Lincoln but I don't know how the new Escalade is going to be but from the latest Escalade the Lincoln was a lot better thanks for the video
Definitely the Cadillac for the win!
For 2022 lincoln better give the Nav the Aviator upgrades or they're going to have alot sitting on the car lots!
Agreed
Thank you so much for making this comparison
Glad you enjoyed! 😁
Both are eye catchers but give me the Cadillac that rear beats the navigator. And they definitely improved it from the previous generation.
Well, the Escalade looks like a SUV versión of Optimus Prime with those grand cherokee like head lights and the Navigator looks like a super big Kia. But I like them both.
Kia??
Gator all day baby! just bought one on Saturday and loving it!
Wow man does the Lincoln emblem protrudes from the grill and does it light up at night
@@marlonelmorefreedomisoursn9744 yes it does. Infact if you are in a parking garage, you can see the logo lights up with the lights as you approach it.
@@UProductions457 wow it seems like the navigator is the new benchmark beautiful even when you see them on the road they look elegant the only downside to it is the engine choice but I don't think you would complain when you can't hear it being that you're surrounded by so much luxury LOL but I do hope they would add a diesel engine two it's lineup after all why Australia and India should enjoy diesel engine Fords and not America
@@marlonelmorefreedomisoursn9744Me too. If they upped their reliability too, I would definitely get one.
Escalade wins, that turbo is going to give you problems
Navi all the way! I trust the Ford power more! Aluminum body is the way to go in Michigan. 4x4 is better than Awd the Escalade always seems old to me and the caddy depreciates much faster
@Hamza Islam Thats like saying coffee is old and outdated just because people have drank it for so long. Coffee is still amazing. Why replace it?
The Caddy has American styling with large presence and the Navigator looks like a Hyundai or asian design. I'll go with the Caddy 👍🔥
Nah! Navigator raised the bar with this model back in 2018.
@@maxmx767 2004 navigator were the best
Lincoln actually asked German auto manufacturer's to help their re-design.
@@IanA96 Wow now that you mention that I can definitely see the German influence. It does resemble a Mercedes gla class but larger without bowed out fenders and wide wheels.
Like the Escalade interior but the navigator exterior
The Escalade is a grand mixture of tech and luxury. And the Navigator is pure classic luxury. I like both. And I can’t imagine what the next generation Navigator would do to outplay the Escalade 😂😎
Can't be anytime soon, it was just redesigned in 2018.
Terry Dixon It’s Ford, ma boi. It’s gonna be as soon as maybe 2022 or 23
@@elijahdorce3183 ok hold your breath on that, that vehicle doesn't make money for Ford, its redesign 2018, couldn't outsell the old Escalade, i doubt they'll put in money on a vehicle with less than four years to redesigning so soon. You want it because you know the Escalade is better.
Terry Dixon Terry, of course the Escalade is better. I just think the Navigator would have potential to upgrade on a few things to make as good as the Escalade. It’s car manufacturing 101, ma boi.
@@elijahdorce3183 The Navigator is due for a refresh but regardless, this vehicle will not touch the '21 Escalade. Lincoln refresh the Navigator in '15 when the 4th generation Escalade came out and that vehicle could not put a dent in sales. So Lincoln needs a brand new redesign which they won't be in too hurry to bring like they did the last generation model which had an 11 year life cyle.
I must admit, the Escalade is nice, but I'm a Navigator kinda woman!
My mom also is a Navigator-type woman
@@raulmontes37 ur mum gay
I’m expecting this video to blow up. At least 1Mili views. Good luck 👍 (team caddy btw)
Let's hope so haha
You guys continue to kill it!!!! Thank you for this review
This comparison videos are fun!!!
Thank you for this amazing video👌🏻👌🏻
I'll pick Escalade.
I feel like the Escalade is for more younger/hip people, the Navigator is for older more boogie people lol
So I’m going with the Escalade now that I’m young.
When I turn 45 I’ll go with the Navigator.
Just wait till navigator refresh! They better not ruin it
It was just redesigned in 2018?
Terry Dixon supposedly it’s getting a a massive refresh for 2022 Model year. Same with the Expedition.
@@JTL-uv6cm so only four years for a vehicle that doesn't sell well, and you see why Ford is going bankrupt pretty smart from a company that doesn't have money to spend.
Terry Dixon not the whole vehicle, I believe it’s just the rear end and front fascia and also the interior
Terry Dixon not the whole vehicle, I believe it’s just the rear end and front fascia and also the interior
Escalade ESV steps into the room.
Lincoln Navigator returns back to its cubicle.
The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, and the Cadillac Escalade account for 50% of all large SUV sales in the US. GM makes 340,000 of them every year and exports about 80,000 to 31 countries. They’re made in GM’s plant in Arlington, Texas, which is said to be the most profitable assembly plant in the world. We estimate they generate $20 billion in revenue for GM and about $4 billion in profits. Autoline Daily.
I was never a big fan of the Escalade, but I have to say this new one is beautiful inside and out. The interior is spot on.
This is the Lincoln navigator I like the Lincoln navigator I want the new it’s great for overseas diary
I'm voting Navigator, Escalade is just too boxy!
@Hamza Islam Luxury cars aren't supposed to have 400 screens like the Escalade. Luxury cars are supposed to be simple and classy.
I'll take the Lincoln. And im somewhat of a GM guy.
I'm a Ford and Lincoln guy but must admit the tech on that Caddy is amazing. Lincoln needs to step thing up asap.
Lincoln all the way..cause Ford has better quality than GM
I wouldn't say so ford has it bad of not lasting long when it come to reliability they break down easily and they have better quality depending on what vehicle trim you choose just like ford
chuck zupa
So true
I just love the classiness of the Navigator. The Escalade is nice but doesn’t seem as grown up to me. But either way they would be choice 1 and 2 respectively if I was in the market
I will wait 3year so that i can own both for the price of 1 😂🤣🤣😂😁
A updated dashboard with bigger screens will transform the Navigator!
Oled screens, power boost. That is what the Navigator needs.
The only thing that work is the infotainment. The screen is small, laggy, and in a very old aspect ratio. Other than that, I hope they keep the interior unchanged for the most part. Young hippies are not the demographic of a luxury vehicle.
Yes I was waiting for one of these videos!!!!!!! Thank you!
Have a great Labor Day!
You forgot to look at longevity. Historically, Cadillac’s break down at an alarming rate when compared to Lincoln. Look at reliability figures as well.
Not true, its the other wymay around bro. Look at how many old Escalades are still on the road compared to Lincolns. You don't even see 01,02,03, Lincolns on the road much anymore but u see 01,02,03, Escalades all the time
The Cadieeee. Its the most beautiful and i find the curve display the coolest thing ive ever seen in a car.
Damn. That new navi is insane 🔥
It's really hard to choose the best. My ❤️ says Cadillac Escalade but my 🧠 says lincoln navigator 🤷
Navigation for me so had to get one, and I love it.
Great comparison!!! Love all your reviews
big ford fan but i’d take the escalade
In the navigator you can access the third row with a child seat in the 2nd row. That is a killer differentiator.
I love both. But I would pick the navigator because of the engine i experienced it and it's amazing I'm in love with 3.5 twin turbocharged
Caddy for me.
Chevy Guy hope it doesn’t break down on you
@@mysteriousways8570 Dont buy American cars period if you want something realiable. Either buy a Lexus if you plan to keep it or lease a German luxury car. Either way is a lot better than buying cheap unreliable cheeseburgers on wheels.
The Escalade is definitely tech forward, but I would take the Lincoln because of its high HP and torque numbers from a V6 engine.
Yes but regarding reliability on the long run I don't think it can equal Escalade's V8
If the Navigator had a V8, I’d consider that more...
Cadillac is the number 1 brand in the world! #period #Cadillac #☝️ no other SUV can’t mess with the #Escalade
Boxing Beast 100% Agree
Agree
Boxing Beast i love any thing under GM ❤️❤️
XT Falcon Me too!
I own 2006 navigator and if my next vehicle to buy would be still the same navigator. I am 100% happy.
Gotta go with the Escalade. Love it, inside and out! The Navigator exterior design falls a bit short for me. The biggest short coming is the rear, looks like a hearse.
Ford, in this case Lincoln always plays it too safe. They're usually 3 to 5 years behind in exterior design.
I've heard Ford is going to soon give Lincoln more self autonamy on their designs to become a stand out Lux brand to hopefully sever the stigma from the past of being simply re-badged Ford models. We'll see where they go.
That should be a good move for Lincoln. They need some healthy separation from Ford. It would be great if Lincoln can accomplish what Lexus has as a luxury brand.
@@IanA96 That’s great for Lincoln but Cadillac will launch an Escalade EV in 2023!
@@justinsmith2598 I'm sure Ford will follow suit. I've read they got with Volkswagen to make EV's together.
@@IanA96 GM partnered up with Honda also
You’ve got to get an optioned premium luxury or platinum to fairly compare imo
Can't wait for mine to arrive!! On pre-order and production starts September 14th!!
Navigator, I can’t wait for the 2022 model year refresh will definitely crush the Cadi with upcoming updates
navigator looks 10 times nicer
Off course Escalade , I don't want to compare with other luxury SUV , The V 8 SOUND IS AMAZING
I would choose Escalade - design, style, engine & tech all place it on a pinnacle above anything else - and may even have a pricing advantage over the Navigator. Esthetically, Escalade signals a consequential presence in a way Cadillac has always sought - but now actually does with this massive and luxurious model. You guys continue to do great work with cars on this channel, and I’ve recommended you to several friends who are still looking at possible choices & are in the tire kicking stage. Best wishes to you both!
Thanks man! Have an awesome labor day!
You too! Looked at one of your “blooper” uploads from awhile back - you guys have come a long way!! Hope you’ll do something similar for crazy 2020!! 😷
Lincoln came with their own work though
Definitely the Navigator, I'm a Lincoln mks man, And I must say this is me second 1. I don't want to drive anything else, can't wait till I can afford a Navigator
@Frankie Basile That Excellent, Congratulations my brother
I bought a Lincoln and it’s just amazing ride and power to be a v6 engine and there engines last forever but I like Cadillac front grill and long classic led lights you couldn’t go wrong with either one to be honest
Please don't let my wife see this video....she will never leave Cadillac now...smh!
