Interior & Exterior Design
2025 Lincoln Navigator
The 2025 Lincoln Navigator’s exterior features a reimagined hood and grille, complemented by an illuminated Lincoln Star logo and a full-width LED light bar that casts a subtle glow. Inside the cabin, the Navigator transforms into a first-class experience with its Lincoln Rejuvenate system. At the touch of a button while parked, the cabin engages a multi-sensory experience: heated & ventilated seats adjust to deliver massages, ambient lighting paired with curated imagery and Digital Scent technology creates a spa-like retreat.
2025 Cadillac Escalade
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade leans into bold aesthetics. Exterior updates include sharp redesigned fascias, enhanced LED lighting, and aggressive wheel options that command attention. Inside, the Escalade features an executive second row with massaging seats alongside a console refrigerator.
Performance & Capability
2025 Lincoln Navigator
The 2025 Lincoln Navigator dominates with its twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, this engine delivers 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. In addition, the Navigator’s standard four-wheel drive ensures grip on snowy surfaces, while its adaptive suspension adapts to rough road conditions. Moreover, if you select Tow drive mode, it boasts a max towing capacity of 8,700 lbs (3,945 kg).
2025 Cadillac Escalade
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade’s 6.2L V8 engine pumps out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, relying on old-school muscle for acceleration. While its Magnetic Ride Control reads the road 1,000 times per second, the stiff setup struggles to soften Toronto’s potholes. The Escalade trails the Navigator with a lower 8,100 lbs (3,675 kg) towing cap and lacks the Lincoln’s versatile drive modes. Plus, its thirsty V8 guzzles gas, making it a costly choice for daily drive.

Technology
2025 Lincoln Navigator
The 2025 Lincoln Navigator elevates the daily grind with the Rejuvenate system, which is an oasis of massaging seats, ambient lighting, and calming Digital Scent aromas. A 48-inch panoramic display and an 11.1-inch touchscreen bring customizable information closer to the driver’s line of sight, prioritizing ease over distraction. Moreover, with 28 speakers, the Navigator’s Revel Ultima 3D audio system turns your commutes into an immersive concert.
Other technology features on the Navigator include:
- 5G Wi-Fi Hotspot
- 5.8-inch LCD Touchscreen at Rear of Front Floor Console
- Lincoln Way App
- Wireless Charging Pad
2025 Cadillac Escalade
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade counters with a larger 55-inch wraparound screen that may risk sensory overload, along with Night Vision thermal imaging, which is handy for cottage roads but less so for downtown. The Escalade’s AKG audio also impresses as does the Navigator’s. Therefore, for Toronto drivers craving tech that provides comfort, the Navigator’s Rejuvenate features and user-friendly design make it the clear choice.
Other technology features on the Escalade include:
- Available Full-Colour Head-Up Display
- Integrated Microphone
