That Navigator is dope af
@frankcanuck360
IMHO the Escalade has a few minor advantages but they don’t justify the MUCH higher price, and its exterior design is nowhere near as sexy as the Navigator!
@garlantyrell8030
Both beautiful vehicles. I’d personally go with the Lincoln, but the black label.
@Scubba-yp5ul
no points taken off for cadillac having high number of engine failure on the 6.2.
@PrinceGyasi81
I normally don't like the Navigator but I will go for the Navigator this time. I don't like this Escalade I want the Escalade V.
@strikingthunderpr0ducti0ns
That Navigator is gorgeous OMG 🔥🔥🔥
@tyt445
Current navigator owner here, was going to try GM with the 25 escalade but the 6.2L lifter issue that cause blown engine is a deal breaker. Too many blown 6.2 out there to take a risk with the eacalade.
@stephencooper3583
Awesome video. I'd say the Navigator is a nice step up from the previous model, but the Escalade is still the undisputed King of the segment. Not that I could afford either one though. Can't help but wonder how much all this tariff craziness will affect prices.
@TeXasDadBod
You guys really want to appeal to people start doing something NO OTHER CAR REVIEWER DOES … show the rear cargo space with a stroller in it so parents know how which vehicle can fit a stroller and still have room for luggage without having to buy a extended version of either of these vehicles. Funny how much room these look like they have but I just went to Cadillac dealership the other day popped my kids stroller into the cargo area and a NUNA brand regular size stroller surprisingly took up a lot of room no matter how I had it in there .

Cadillac is staying true to classic Americana styling, whereas Lincoln seems to be channeling the American Range Rover motifs. I appreciate both for imparting a different vibe wrapped in behemoth sizes. I wish the Black Label Lincoln would've been used, as it is the direct correlation to the Platinum Caddy. That said, I love the split tailgate of the Lincoln. It is more handy than we assume, for day to day use. But the Escalade wins it for me in terms of ergonomics. Lincoln comes across as "screens just to have screens" vibes, and the steering wheel is just odd. For the price of the Escalade, it does pack air suspension w/ MRC, Super Cruise, and a few other nineties. But the refreshed Lincoln also looks really good as well. It's a toss-up here for me.

I think the fact Ford/Lincoln has cleaned up their exterior design language for more formal looking SUVs closer to Cadillac and completely ditched their old "vintage luxury" theme interiors to adopt Cadillac's tech forward & focused luxury interior theme is very telling. The saying "If you can't beat them, join them" comes to mind and it's hard to give anyone credit for the much needed improvements on a Navigator when the real deal also has taken out a step up for 2025. The difference in the execution is obvious. Had Lincoln came out with this in 2021 they would've had a better chance at dethroning the Escalade. I think this generation is a desperate attempt from Ford to lure Range Rover & Cadillac buyers over to Lincoln but there's really no reason to buy this nor the Jeep Grand Wagon over them in 2025. Cadillac's art & science design language can't be beat, i suppose that's why even their main rivals are now copying their designs inside and out. gm did an amazing job with doubling down on the full-size premium SUV market (aswell as Tahoe/Yukon) considering how these segments have all heated up.

Thank you guys! I've been waiting to see how the escalade and navigator compare since their reveals. Glad you're the first to make it.
@MouthPeaceCorbett
My dad has an Escalade, i had a navigator. I plan on replacing our nav with a new one(or expy) in the future. My wife greatly prefers the feel, comfort and ease of use of the nav over the escalade, but the escalade is a tad smoother and has more tech.(test drove a 25 tahoe and armada with wifey, she said no to tahoe, strong maybe to armada)
@t-roy2418
When I was a limousine driver I had the opportunity to drive both trucks…2019… The Cadillac drives better but the Lincoln rides better… I would take the Cadillac
@Galicia322
Glad I saw this video, also as for your conclusion I think the Escalade still wins with the hauling long objects since the rear seats of the navigator don't go down with upgraded seats, and not to mention the escalade is longer.
@jeffkashat4625
Just got a 2025 Escalade ESV Luxury Premium, love it. Had two Expedition’s before it, they both started falling apart literally between 6-12 month. Would never get another ford, or ever consider a glorified ford in the Lincoln Navigator.
@JTurnerStudios
Listening to this and can't afford it is crazy 😩
@SammyAt4
Both are super nice but when you’re spending over a 100K the Escalade is the sexier, more attractive offering that people think luxury with its name.
@radamesseda2015
Love the Lincoln look. Escalade is to funky.
