We believe the Lincoln Navigator for 2022 is such a strong competitor that it can beat the 2022 Cadillac Escalade. But please don't take our word for it. The editors at U.S. News and World Report reviewed both large luxury SUVs and the Lincoln Navigator came out ahead. No wonder. The Lincoln Navigator has a sumptuous interior, lots of passenger space and seats up to seven. Here are more details, presented by Southgate Lincoln in Southgate MI.
A comparison of performance in the 2022 Lincoln Navigator and the Escalade
The new Cadillac Escalade breaks out of the starting gate exactly where you'd expect it to be: In the lead. The Cadillac Escalade does its best with a 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 420 horsepower. But before the Cadillac Escalade can think twice, the 2022 Lincoln Navigator goes roaring by with a more efficient 3.5-liter V6 engine that generates 450 horsepower. Both vehicles can do the 60 mph zoom from zero in 5.9 seconds.
A comparison of fuel economy in the 2022 Lincoln Navigator and the Escalade
Both the Lincoln Navigator and the Cadillac Escalade provide better fuel efficiency than you'd get in a cramped SUV and that's especially true of the Lincoln Navigator. The Cadillac Escalade gets only 14 MPG in the city compared to of the Lincoln with 17 MPG in the city. On highways around Detroit and Taylor MI, the Lincoln Navigator outshines the Escalade with 19 MPG vs. only 16 MPG for Cadillac.
A comparison of towing capability in the 2022 Lincoln Navigator and the Escalade
The 2022 Lincoln Navigator has a maximum towing capacity of 8,700 pounds when it's properly equipped. The Cadillac Escalade can only pull 8,200 pounds, so you'd have to live with some weight limitations compared to the Lincoln Navigator. In addition, the Lincoln Navigator offers a heavy-duty trailer tow package that gives you an integrated trailer brake controller, a heavy-duty radiator and Lincoln's Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
One other number worth noting is torque, which is critical when you're pulling something like a big boat. The Lincoln Navigator gives you 500 pound-feet of torque while the Cadillac Escalade can only manage 460 pound-feet. You don't want to come up short in that department when you're about to head out on a family vacation.
