2021 CADILLAC ESCALADE VS 2020 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR NEAR NAPERVILLE, IL

When weighing your options for a luxury SUV, it's imperative to know what the market has to offer. Here at Heritage Cadillac, we firmly believe that the 2021 Cadillac Escalade is the class of the field, so we're here to tell you more about what it brings to the table. In fact, to definitively prove that this model is the one for you, we're putting it to the test against a formidable foe-the 2020 Lincoln Navigator.

Technology

Right away, you'll be provided with a multitude of tech features in the 2021 Escalade that its rival from Lincoln fails to provide. For instance, your primary media hub is centered on a standard 16.9-inch display that lets you tap into various functions without delay. Those who end up with the 2020 Navigator will have to be content with a smaller 10-inch touchscreen, which might not be as easy to read. Similarly, listening to music in the Cadillac is more of a pleasure with the help of the standard AKG 19-speaker audio setup, especially when compared to the 14-speaker system that Lincoln provides as standard. Finally, only the Escalade offers intuitive Augmented Reality-enabled navigation via the 14.2-inch gauge cluster to prevent you from missing an exit on I-88.

Safety & Convenience

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade continues to dominate the 2020 Lincoln Navigator when we turn our attention to what these models have to offer for safety and convenience amenities. For instance, the former is available with Super Cruise™1, which combines navigational guidance with hands-free driving, so you can sit back and relax while your SUV takes you to your destination. As a segment-first2 amenity, you won't have access to this technology in the Lincoln. The same goes for optional Night Vision3, which uses thermal imaging to assist with seeing the road ahead in low-visibility situations. Finally, though the Navigator does have an available 360-degree Camera4, the model from Cadillac boasts standard HD Surround Vision3 on all trim levels, so you can take advantage of its capabilities regardless of the trim you choose.

Mechanics

Let's wrap things up by examining what these two luxury SUVs provide in the way of mechanics. With the Cadillac Escalade, you'll have two beastly systems to choose from to meet your specific needs on the road. Meanwhile, with just one powertrain included across the board, the Lincoln Navigator isn't quite as easy to customize. As if that weren't bad enough already, it also fails to provide anything similar to several systems that the Escalade comes with. Both the available Air Ride Adaptive Suspension and Magnetic Ride Control take your commute to new heights by constantly making adjustments to account for surface variations, so you can always stay relaxed and comfortable. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about the Navigator.
