2022 Lincoln Navigator | Does it Keep Up with the Escalade? 

Lincoln Navigator or the Cadillac Escalade? Battle in the comments!

I actually love the wood grain in the Navigator. It’s open pore matte wood so it looks more classy & elegant

Drove both ,Navigator is pure elegance & it doesn’t have to try as hard

This dude says this dated, but this real luxury. Wood and metals and buttons and knobs for everything. Compare to new. Recedes amd just big screen which is cheap. But hey, he goes with trends.

I have had my '22 Navigator L for about 3 weeks now and I think you weren't using Active Glide in your video. Actually, the dealer said it would only do lane centering until you connect it to your phone's Lincoln app. The entire instrument cluster changes when you're hands free as well as the head up display. No need for the big light bar on the steering wheel like with the Super Cruise. I hate that all the reviews of the new Navigator leave out this feature especially when the Escalade models that have Super Cruise cost minimum 10-15k more than the Navigator. My wife and I LOVE our new Navigator, it's a pure work of art with amazing tech!

I keep coming back to this video for that fire intro...nice job!

I like team Navigator for the captains chairs in the back. I’ve used the Active Glide on the Navigator and it will actually navigate down the highway hands free. I prefer the Escalades dash but find the materials in the Navigator are superior.

Navigator all day everyday

I don’t agree that this is fighting for second. Slightly dated, yes! But fighting for second no! I currently have an aviator (been in the shop for a month :(…) but I really like my car. So much better than that xt6 crap. Anyway, I did order an Escalade but after driving a Navigator for a month I’m seriously considering ordering one. It’s extremely smooth and it feels high end. I love that it doesn’t drive like a boat. I’ve been zipping that thing around town like I do in my Aviator. But, I do drive it in excite mode to make it sportier to drive. It’s seriously on luxurious inside… torn now between Escalade and Navigator. Also, Lincoln dealership experience is FAR more luxurious than Cadillac. I love the customer service I receive with Lincoln. Cadillac… their customer service could be better.

This is only a refresh, the Cadillac is a complete redesign, and I would still pick the Navigator. It is so much more clean and elegant. Plus, it has an easy access to the third row seat and the best third row seats in class, comfortable enough for an adult. Unlike the Cadillac that you have to fold the entire seat to access the third row. The Cadillac makes you feel super tight with that huge column that gets on you way. Can’t wait for the redesign.

2022 Lincoln Navigator understated elegant exterior look ! Interior is first rate = lap of luxury ! Slainte' ! Cheers !

Hah, yes, the turning radius is amazing; good of you to mention it! Surprised you didn't note that the Navigator gets the same EcoBoost variant as the Raptor...and embarrasses the GM products on HP/TRQ and 0-60 mph. The cherry on top - it blows them all away on MPG as well. Summary. Looks better, rides better, easier controls, more power, better MPG, costs less. Navigator is the king... Escalade has a better marketing team (that's it).

The lack of an engine cover is because the current thermostat doesn't work very well and your engine temps can get a little high. Lincoln couldn't figure it out so they took off the engine cover. However, some guy on the Lincoln forums found that if he installed a different thermostat the problem was fixed.

Real luxury, love the wood grain and the seats.

Intro song goes HARD!!!

That intro was sick, way to go Ian. I think this is the first video where Mike went without saying "quality" once. Haha.

Looks : Lincoln : 85% Escalade 90% Comfort: Lincoln 90% Cadillac: 91 Quality of Materials used : Lincoln: 92% Cadillac: 79% Holds Value: Lincoln : 68% Cadillac : 67%

My very first Lincoln SUV!! Terrific job bro.

Hi ACCELER8 Can You Make The 2022 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum Thank You You Are My Nice RU-vidr

I hate to say it but damit man that Grand Wagoner is giving them a run for the money... with the technology package.. lincoln navigator gotta step there game up

Production quality 📈💯

Based on the views in the last several videos, it seems people actually prefer to see the more affordable cars on the channel. Doesn't help that this Lincoln is old. This is just a refresh. We all saw this Navigator back in like 2018

When will Lincoln put the hybrid engine in and also when will they start building the 2023 models?

The navigator has a more reserved comfort and elegant feel to it. When I think of elegance and comfort, the navigator comes to mind but luxury ? I think Cadillac or the Germans has that.

We need electrifying cinematic intro 😩like the one you did for Porsche macan 👏👏

Fighting for second place? Don’t think so bubba.

Just wish it had a diesel like GMC/Chevy so that you can get 800 miles on a tank and 28 miles per gallon

Maybe in 2025, or 2026, when the redesign comes out, The Lincoln Navigator will either have a Full Hybrid Gasoline-Electric Engine, or go fully electric.

I HATE when Canadian car channels use the imperial system. Stay true, use the metric system and put the imperial system in brackets

Hands-down that Navigator is smoking hot! Escalade is just looking old - very old!

These are realy good shots of it

This guy rides GMs jock strap. You can tell he is a fanboy from the start, Navigator all the way.

The sway and body roll truly needs some refinement

"I'll Always Love my Ford Pension Plan"

2012 sequoia has reclining power rear seats

Such a classy intro! Love it!

My next comment is a question, do you know when the Full Gas-Electric Hybrid Version of the Lincoln Navigator is coming?

Navigator needs a new bigger engine with hybrid option for better power and fuel efficiency and also electric option.

The grand wagoneer came first and navigator came second. The Escalade has always been a over priced Tahoe.

This interior isn’t from 2010 WTF? It’s a blend of modern tech with big screens & physical buttons

Wood grain is more for Mid-century modern fans, like a eames chair rosewood.

Shame it's not sold here in spain

This isn’t dated this is real luxury screens and more screens and air suspension and gimmicks isn’t luxury. I also love how this truck can actually slide under the radar in a way it isn’t as flashy as a Escalade or the Benz and bmw big trucks or even a grand wagoner and I like that. That’s real luxury and the more money I have and earn the more I like under the radar

I prefer the Navigator over the Escalade.

Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!!!

No one gets an Escalade because it’s a good car people get an escalade because it’s a status car. Because they want an Escalade.

Good looking vehicle inside and out, but behind GM triplets for sure. The $5-$6 gas may impact these modern dinasours just like lack of food eventually finished real dinasours.

15 seconds in and the front end is all scratched and full of rock chips.

What a bus !

I was hoping for a review on this with a decent color combination on this and I got one!!! No Manhattan Green interior or exterior for me.

I don’t like the slapped on iPad. I will like to speak with the engineers about what were they thinking when they put that slapped on, big iPad looking screen in it. I’m sorry but the interior in the front is horrendous😔.

Intro 🤩

Boss Mode!

The beast 👹

#Lincoln is true Luxury Elegance

Ill drive the Navi👍

Ford just placed a recall on the Navigator and ford SUV engine! The company stated not to park the vehicle in your garage. Ford recall's been to frequent even a recall with their EV. Ford have to do better!

I disagree with this title. I think with this refresh the Navigator is still the king in this space, besides the Jeep Wagoneer & Grand Wagoneer. The new Escalade is dope but it’s missing some second row amenities this SUV has along with the Wagoneer & Grand Wagoneer

No sun roof for 3rd row passengers come on lincoln get it together

Elegant

100,000 Canadian rupees for it!

What a car.

Honestly, you looks as if you can afford any car you want to review with or without my support.

noiicceee

Night drive review?

I wish Lincoln was more "lincolnish," "Modern" touchscreen controls and haptic buttons suck.

This is why I stopped watching car reviews. SMH this guy’s opinion is all the way off. Dated?! This is quiet luxury, all them screens and head rest gimmicks are not for me. This will be a classic. I love seeing them on the road

Don't disrespect Lincoln

💚🤩

I'll go for the escalade Cadillac

Metrics as well, please...

Navigator > Escalade

this new Ford system is too cluttered. Too many things on the screen at any one time. Others this vehicle is a banger but i dunno about Fords philosophy regarding larger infotainment screens and stuffing several different things at any one point. But more on the vehicle as luxury trucks go this is it!!!

The Cadillac Escalade is very unreliable. Engine problems. Carbon buildup problems. Transmission problems. Weak fatal roof in a rollover. Better off with the Lincoln Navigator.

2010? nah bro look at the 2023 Cadillac this one has better interior and quality

Turned to 💩fast. Running boards totally broken twice in first year or ownership and the steering wheel tilt motor just completely broke. Center screen randomly goes blank all the time.

Terrible comments, It has everything but it is not good enough? Don't be a GM sales rep!

2010…trippin

Lincoln Cars still look like Jaguar copies.. 🤪

Might seem like a 2010 when you don't own one of them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 don't do the Lincoln like that!!!!

👍🔥👍👍🔥👁️

The navigator and grand wagoneer are far better than the Escalade. The Escalade is a waste of money the navigator and grand wagoneer offer way more and are less expensive. Also the Escalade is so under powered compared to the navigator and grand wagoneer.

I stopped watching after the "dated...2010 Lincoln Town Car" reference. Talk about losing credibility. You either have an axe to grind against the Navigator, or you quite simply don't know what you're talking about. And you can dismiss me as a Navigator fanboi or owner if you want, but the fact is, I'm neither; I'm just a simple car nut. There's differences of opinion, then hyperbole, and then there's eye-rolling inaccuracy. You're firmly in the latter category.

I always laugh when I see people driving these monster trucks. They invariably have a petite lady driving them with nobody else in the vehicle. Wow, who are you trying to impress?

$$$$ for nothing

If he got the ice blue or the forest green people would be going nuts

I know I can’t trust your opinion cause you think the Lexus is comparable to the Escalade lol. And stop talking about the wood I see grays in your beard you’re just as old as the wood.

😍😍😍😍
