No other segment beats the luxury SUV category in comfort and functionality. That's why the spacious 2020 Lincoln Nautilus is so popular with New Bern families. Another well-liked luxury SUV is the 2020 Cadillac XT5, which you may have come across in your research. So, how do these two vehicles differ?

     
     
                   

Design & Comfort

         

The exhilarating design of the 2020 Lincoln Nautilus is equal parts beautiful and practical. The sculpted exterior of the 2020 Nautilus is sleek and elegant, with useful available features like a hands-free liftgate and acoustic-laminate glass for a quiet ride through New Bern. The exterior of the 2020 Cadillac XT5 is also sleek, but has a bulkier sculpt and does not offer acoustic-laminate glass for a cabin as quiet as the Nautilus. The 2020 Nautilus also has an exterior pin entry system that the driver may use if they accidentally lock their keys in the car, but the Cadillac XT5 doesn't offer this feature.

         

The carefully-designed interior of the 2020 Nautilus is a sanctuary of luxurious comfort and convenient technology that can easily accommodate up to five passengers. It is outfitted with premium soft materials, like leathers and woods, and available massaging Ultra Comfort front seats with Active Motion® for the ability to adjust your seat exactly to your preference and help decrease muscle fatigue, aches and pains so you can keep your focus on the road. The interior of the 2020 Cadillac XT5 is lacking next to the Nautilus. Even though the XT5 uses seemingly upscale materials, they are put together in a way that makes the cabin seem busy and somewhat tacky for a luxury automobile. The XT5 does offer comfortable heated front seats, but they don't come close to the adjusting capability and comfort of the 2020 Nautilus' Ultra Comfort front seats.

         

As for space, the Lincoln Nautilus wins out in every dimension. It offers more headroom, legroom, hiproom, and shoulder room than the XT5 for an overall 3.8 cubic feet more passenger volume. The 2020 Lincoln Nautilus also has a vast cargo area, larger than the XT5 by 7 cubic feet! It can carry an additional 2 large suitcases than the XT5, which could make a world of difference for your family adventure.

Performance

         

The 2020 Cadillac XT5 has an underwhelming performance compared to the 2020 Lincoln Nautilus' well-balanced driving dynamics. Standard on the Lincoln Nautilus is a 2.0L turbocharged engine that produces 250-hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. That is 13 more horsepower and 22 more lb-ft of torque compared to the XT5's standard 2.0L turbo engine.

         

The Nautilus' standard engine is also more powerful than the XT5's next level 3.6L V6 engine, offering 9 more lb-ft of torque. The next-up engine option on the 2020 Lincoln Nautilus is a 335-hp 2.7L turbo V6 engine that gets 25 more horsepower & 109 more lb-ft of torque than the XT5's 3.6L V6 engine. So, the Nautilus is leagues ahead when it comes to engine options and power under the hood.

Both vehicles have available adaptive suspension to smooth over every bump, even on the winding back roads of New Bern. The Nautilus does come with larger, sturdier standard tires for better traction and handling compared to the XT5's standard tires. Both offer intelligent All-Wheel Drive systems and drive mode selectors for capability and peace-of-mind year-round in any road condition.

Safety
