In this epic showdown of full-size luxury SUVs by MotorTrend Channel, we witness the clash of titans: the Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, and Jeep Grand Wagon Ear. The Escalade, with its menacing exterior and lavish interior, exudes luxury with a 36-speaker AKG sound system and hands-free technology. Under the hood, a 420hp V8 engine roars to life, propelling the Escalade from 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds. Meanwhile, the Navigator, a trailblazer in the luxury SUV realm, showcases a new design and a 48-inch screen, powered by a robust 440hp V6 engine.
Not to be outdone, the Jeep Grand Wagon Ear enters the fray as the underdog, boasting impressive interior space and a powerful 540hp inline-6 engine. Despite its aging design, the Grand Wagon Ear surprises with its towing capacity and digital real estate, offering a unique driving experience. As the trio navigates corners and straightaways, each SUV showcases its distinct character: the Escalade delivers a sporty feel with precise steering, the Navigator's interior is critiqued for some hard plastic elements, and the Grand Wagon Ear strikes a balance between luxury and performance.
Amidst the luxury and power, the Grand Wagon Ear stands out for its smooth and efficient inline-6 engine, providing a quieter ride compared to its competitors. In terms of handling, the Jeep impresses with its balanced performance, despite its massive size, offering a comfortable yet composed driving experience. With each SUV bringing its strengths to the table, this comparison test by MotorTrend Channel highlights the diverse offerings in the full-size luxury SUV segment, catering to different tastes and preferences.
