Lincoln vs Cadillac

Lincoln Corsair vs Cadillac XT4

Compact SUVs are all the rage. These fashionable, practical, and tech-heavy models fit a wide range of lifestyles. Both luxury American brands have a model competing in the small SUV sphere: the Lincoln Corsair vs. the Cadillac XT4.

When you begin diving into the performance of each SUV, Lincoln garners a noticeable edge. The Lincoln Corsair has three engine options:

• 2.0L 4-cylinder producing 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque
• 2.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder producing 295 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque
• 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid producing 266 combined system net horsepower

The Cadillac XT4 will feel woefully underpowered when pitted against the Lincoln Corsair, as its sole engine registers just 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

Lincoln Aviator vs Cadillac XT6

Moving to 3-row SUVs for each brand would see the Lincoln Aviator go toe to toe with the Cadillac XT6. The purpose of the Lincoln Aviator and the Cadillac XT6 is to transport families in comfort, while giving you as many miles as possible from a single fill-up.

The Cadillac XT6 returns its best fuel economy figures from the base 4-cylinder engine-an EPA-estimated 19 city/26 highway MPG.

The Lincoln Aviator easily surpasses these figures, however. The Lincoln Aviator has an available 3.0L V6 engine mated with a battery-powered electric motor. The infusion of electric power leads to truly astonishing efficiency numbers, such as an EPA-estimated 54 city/58 highway MPGe.¹

Lincoln Navigator vs Cadillac Escalade

At the very top of each brand's lineup sit their largest, most advanced, and most luxurious offerings: the Lincoln Navigator vs. the Cadillac Escalade.

There are a lot of reasons why you might choose these famed models-and capability is often at the top of the list.

If you have a boat or a trailer you want to take with you across the state or the country, the maximum towing capacity of the Lincoln Navigator, measuring 8,700 pounds when properly equipped, will be of great use.

The Cadillac Escalade isn't weak. However, the gap between the 8,700 pounds of towing in the Lincoln Navigator and the 8,200 pounds of towing in the Escalade is hard to ignore.
