This week we had the chance to drive both the 2024 Grand Wagoneer L Series III and 2024 Lincoln Navigator Reserve to see which of these full-size luxury SUVs might be the right one for you.

Full-Size SUVs are an important segment in North America, and the luxury space is dominated by one main vehicle, the Cadillac Escalade. It would be hard to not discuss how the Escalade fits into this, but we want to give buyers a second and third option, being the Grand Wagoneer and Lincoln Navigator. It's important to note that while the Jeep is a long wheelbase and the Lincoln isn't, we've done everything we can to compare them as if they were long variants. The dimensions and capacities we discuss are all based off both vehicles being long wheelbase models.
We go over the technical specifications of both SUVs along with some of their key features that help make it stand out compared to the other. We also go over some of the reasons you'd be looking at either one of these vehicles, as each caters to a slightly different type of buyer. We go over the exterior looks, interior feel, and all three rows on both SUVs.
We then take both vehicles on the road back to back to talk about how the drive, ride, and perform, along with our thoughts on both after spending a week with each one. We wrap up with our pick in the segment between these two, along with which we'd choose if the Cadillac Escalade was in the mix.

I myself love giant SUVs. I love the Escalade V the most because of the horsepower. I love the navigator second because they offer a vehicle that is baby blue on the outside and baby blue on the inside. And I love the Wagoneer just cause it’s a behemoth and the electronics are really cool.

There's certainly something about driving massive vehicles, I do like the fit of them personally.

Rumor is the Navigator is getting a redesign for the 2025 model year. If done well it will be the clear choice imo.

It's about time. If it takes it's cues from the Nautilus it should be a welcomed update.

Lincoln

Good choice!

When you're launching the Grand Wagoneer you need to brake boost (for longer than you did). It holds boost really well and it just goes. Hauls ass.

Good to know! That inline 6 engine is really solid, was a good move on Chrysler's part to replace the ageing V8s.

The GW Obsidian is a much better choice. All the unnecessary chrome trimmings make the C pillar on back look way too busy(lol they even chromed the tail lights). The standard Wagoneer actually looks better extreriolly (especially carbide) if you could option for the light effects. Also, forcing buyers to have to go GW for a simple powerfolding mirrror feature is ridiculous.

It's definitely good to have choice!

Lincoln looks way better

@AbdussalamMisbahudeen Ай бұрын

Looks way too dated in my opinion.

@taurussho86 Ай бұрын

@@AbdussalamMisbahudeen what's funny, I thought the same for the Wagoneer.... But still happy Jeep still uses the 7 bar grille design... They keep their identity... Ford and Lincoln change everything every new model

@PRNTestDrive Ай бұрын

I think the new design language for Lincoln looks sharp, a little like what Buick has been doing for half a decade but still elegant. I'll be very interested to see the next-generation Navigator.

In any new vehicle the big turn off will always be the maintenance cost, but also y’all are insane to buy this new out of the lot for this vehicles devalue ridiculous fast.

@PRNTestDrive Ай бұрын

Most do unfortunately. But maintenance costs will be high even if you buy something like this in the used market.

@RedLeo-pf9yo 16 күн бұрын

I’m speculating here, but I feel like 90% of people don’t use their sunroofs.

@PRNTestDrive 16 күн бұрын

I’d say there are some people that don’t use it at all, I fact we’ve heard from a lot of commenters over the years who say they’d prefer not having one, and Chrysler has historically been one of the few brands that makes it an option rather than a forced feature based on a trim.

Thank you 🙏 great 👍 SUV 🚙 great 👍 reaction 👏👏👏do they come with heavy duty wheels 🛞🚙👍👋☮️

@PRNTestDrive Ай бұрын

Both were wide wheel sets, 22" for both I believe.

What you said about the Cadillac is not correct. With the diesel the Cadillac can only tow up to 8 000 lbs. And while the Cadillac does look sportier, the 0 to 60 times on the Grand Wagoneer is better.
