Totally agree

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

A bit like cadillac

Get a Mercedes

@@bgnbenji nobody wants a mercedes now, its unreliable and a mechanical nightmare

They are still dead grandma cars 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@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.

Ive always been a lincoln man and for sum reason I still love the navigator over the escalade

@@thomasmallory148 they did their work on their own unlike Cadillac who borrowed money from govt via gm

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....

💯💯👍👍👍

agree 100%

Agree. In design and options the cadi wins

too bad Chevy is going to CHINA.

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.

Not even close

Yeah I like the range Rover flow it has to it well the navigator and the interior man lots of real but that escalate cluster stream 👍🏿👍🏿

GM vs. Ford? Ford wins

Bro do you mind me asking what do you do for a living?

@@tradinwarstoriez5641I'm a Musician!

My family got a new aviator few months ago and love it too! Not requiring premium is certainly a huge benefit!

The Cadillac has similar features at then next trim level

I sat in those seats. Not as comfortable as you might think. Lots of pinch points.

Bruh the Caddy is so much better

He has a crappy model of Escalade when you spec it up to the next level it blows the navigator away

@@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

True, but I can never use it, I may fall asleep. Lol.

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.

❤️❤️

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.

@@Word-Life its just to simple..

The Lincoln's back is chicken style

the big flat gait? lol the cadi is prettier there.

My neighbor has one and I think the same thing all the time

They need to change or update the back it’s definitely dated looking

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.

@@raymondaltinzi3152 bmw is a beautiful but what an endless money pit junk

@@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

@@mybro727 Maybe

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.

boss 15 To some people shinny means high quality. Thats one thing I noticed in the new Lincoln when I to experience it at the international auto show.

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.

Yes me to !! NAVIGATOR !!

Are you on drugs?

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..

There very nice full size SUV'S but i take NAVIGATOR !!! O YEAH BABY 🚗🚘🚗🚘🚗🚘🚗

O

Just wait for the new jeep grand wagoneer.

Yeah and high tech will be hilariously outdated before long but high quality design materials and beauty is timeless

@Hamza Islam whats that supposed to mean.

me too. navigator is good but escalade just has more features and more space

nikhil and aanya I agree!

I take NAVIGATOR !! YESS

Bob P I Agree!

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..

Vegas Strong Sanchez 100% Agree

@@justinsmith2598 thanks

Vegas Strong Sanchez Your Welcome! Would the front end of the New Escalade look better if the had the CT6/XT4 Headlights in your opinion?

cadillac is the top notch luxury suv

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.

mperez564 ford 5.4 tritons are the worst buddy

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.

Great choice 👍💯😉

Range rover not reliable at all

@@Hyperborean_2 Reliability wise i am not sure abt escalade because i bought first time American what you think?

@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?

Have a great Labor Day!

No way the Lincoln always looked gimmicky and now that the new escalade is out it looks gimmicky again

@@miket2172 a Lincoln doesn’t need to hide cheap quality behind a huge screen

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.

Glad you enjoyed! 😁

Let's hope so haha

@Hamza Islam Luxury cars aren't supposed to have 400 screens like the Escalade. Luxury cars are supposed to be simple and classy.

Thank you! 👍

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.

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.

My mom also is a Navigator-type woman

@@raulmontes37 ur mum gay

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

so, navigator also feels like explorer..😂

@@cars_squad2223 You’re gonna trigger people with that comment 😂

@@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.. If escalade gives classic interior, then you will say its outdated... now they are giving new interiors, you are choosing classic interiors..😂😂😮 man common, not always ford wins...

@@Xemantic and if you are saying, escalade is giving tahoe like feel then its totally wrong... There exteriors are just somewhat similar... Interiors and all other features are all different in 3 suvs... And escalade is giving you much more in less price than navigator... So stop choosing that ford vehicle...😂😂😂 Not always, ford has a winning point... Criticise it sometimes...

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 exactly. If you want a spacious third row and a good amount of trunk space in the navigator you have to get the L model.

@@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 think you're speaking of the old Escalade. The new 3rd row is the same as the Navigator, and the cargo area is bigger.

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.

Kia??

Thank you!

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.

@@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.

Why???

Because of bang for your buck, which is why we got a yukon denali in 2015, but that was bc it was better looking than escalade then, but now the escalade looks more stylish and you can't even compare the interiors.

You're welcome, friend! We think the Navigators seats are probably the most comfortable/adjustable

Nah, I’d also prefer GM’s tuning of the 10-speed transmission, the 6.2L V8 over Ford’s Eco-boosted V6, and the bolder exterior design of the Escalade over the Black Whale 🐳 look on that Nav. but that’s just me.🤷🏾‍♂️

@@mybro727 eh, the escalade's exterior has weird proportions and looks kind of cartoonish. But that's just me 🤷🏿‍♂️

Kyron theres another sport version which would change the design

@@Unknown-sf6cs the sport definitely looks better than the silver mesh imo. I can agree with that

Unknown 000 Agreed. I saw a photo of a Black ESV Sport on GMA. Idk what he sees but Cadillac got their proportions right my friend!

Have you drove the TT V6 yet? Tbh it’s amazing

Terry Dixon not the whole vehicle, I believe it’s just the rear end and front fascia and also the interior

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.

Lincoln navigator of course my father have the lincoln navigator 2021

Thanks!

Yes but regarding reliability on the long run I don't think it can equal Escalade's V8

Me too... I've owned both, but only the Navigator impressed me enough to buy again (newer version).
