2020 Lincoln Navigator vs Land Rover Range Rover
When you’re shopping for a three-row luxury SUV, the 2020 Lincoln Navigator and Land Rover Range Rover can’t help but vie for your attention. Which should you choose? At LaFayette Ford, we’ve got the details you need to drive home in your best option.
Starting MSRP: 2020 Lincoln Navigator
Just because you’re shopping the luxury market doesn’t mean you can’t save a bundle. With a starting MSRP of $76,185, the Navigator helps you do exactly that. The 2020 Range Rover, on the other hand, comes at a much steeper price, with a starting MSRP of $90,000.
Some shoppers might look at this price disparity and assume that one of these SUVs is less luxurious than the other. It might surprise you to learn, then, that the Navigator actually gives you much more for your money. Read on to find out just how much.
Upscale Cabin: It’s a Tie!
Both the Lincoln Navigator and the Land Rover Range Rover cabins are dressed up in high-end materials and equipped with high-tech goodies.
Inside the Navigator, there’s certainly no shortage of personal space. More than roomy comfort, though, Lincoln’s Perfect Position seats have more adjustments than most people could ever need. Once you find that perfect position, you can expect sublime comfort for hours at a time.
The 2020 Range Rover also makes a point of using only the best cabin materials. Also, this upscale SUV’s interior design is as stylish as it is tightly fitted. And, like the Navigator, you can count on the Range Rover to deliver a very quiet ride.
Towing Capabilities: 2020 Lincoln Navigator
These three-row luxury SUVs deliver more than mere comfort and style, giving drivers the ability to move hefty trailers with relative ease. If you’ve got a boat or camper that’s especially heavy, though, you may find yourself in need of the Navigator. With the proper equipment, Lincoln’s luxury SUV tows up to 8,600 pounds. The Range Rover can’t manage nearly as much, capping capacity at 7,700 pounds.
Smooth Operation: 2020 Lincoln Navigator
The Navigator is a three-row luxury SUV that drives like one. That is, when you hit the throttle, it’s quick to jump into action, deliver proficient power. Little steering effort is needed to keep the Navigator pointed in the right direction. Overall, the ride feels smooth and composed, which makes for one luxurious cruise around town.
Ride quality is among the Range Rover’s few weaknesses. While every model comes standard with off-road-ready four-wheel drive, this luxury SUV feels less at home back on the pavement. Steering is slow —causing issues on winding roads —and also requires endless correction, even when you’re traveling the straight and narrow.
Inside, the 2020 Land Rover Range Rover is undeniably posh. But, for the overall luxury experience, you’re better off with the 2020 Lincoln Navigator. Thanks in part to a recent redesign, the Navigator leads the way with its rugged capabilities, tight performance, and smooth comfort.
