We’ve highlighted three of these key differences below for your quick perusal.
Rule the road with the brawny power available for the 2024 Cadillac Escalade and 2024 Lincoln Navigator. Three separate engine options deliver the power of choice with the Cadillac SUV, including a hand-built, supercharged V8 engine exclusive to the Escalade-V with 682 horsepower and 653 pound-feet of torque that helps you accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in a pavement-searing 4.4 seconds.

Its Duramax® turbo diesel engine gets up to 27 MPG on the highway, compared with 22 MPG for the Navigator.

Both premium SUVs offer ride-smoothing suspension systems, including an adaptive suspension with road preview in the Lincoln Navigator and Magnetic Ride Control™ and an air ride adaptive suspension in the Escalade.

Large, visually commanding style defines both the 2024 Cadillac Escalade and 2024 Lincoln Navigator. Their muscular, squared-off proportions, broad grilles, and 22-inch wheels complete a larger-than-life aesthetic. In terms of their actual size, the Escalade is 211.9 inches long while the Navigator is 210 inches long and the Escalade wheelbase is 120.9 inches compared with a 122.5-inch wheelbase for the Navigator. The Navigator base-model curb weight is 5,855 pounds, compared with the 5,635-pound base curb weight for the Escalade — a difference driven primarily by the drivetrain differences between the two models.
Premium LED headlights define the forward visuals for both SUVs. The rear design and taillamps for the two provide totally different aesthetics. On the Navigator, the 3D taillamps sprawl vertically across the rear of the vehicle. By comparison, the Escalade is crafted with 3-foot-tall vertical 3D LED taillamps that draw the eye upward.
