Cadillac XT5 vs. Lincoln Nautlus: Comparing Two Luxury SUV Icons

Cadillac makes great SUVs. It's just what they do. They're not the only ones, though. Other brands, like Lincoln, also have well-earned reputations as top luxury automakers. It begs the question, when you're looking at new models like the Cadillac XT5 and Lincoln Nautilus. Which one offers more? Let's take a look at both vehicles and see how they stack up.

Cadillac XT5 vs Lincoln Nautilus Performance

The Cadillac XT5 and Lincoln Nautilus both offer impressive performance options. With the Cadillac XT5, you'll enjoy a standard 235-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine or an optional 310-horsepower V6. The Lincoln Nautilus does come with a slightly more powerful standard powertrain: a 250-horsepower turbocharged engine. Unfortunately, that's as powerful as its performance options get. There are no additional options in the Nautilus for drivers wanting more.

Cadillac XT5 vs Lincoln Nautilus Design & Interior

Both the Cadillac XT5 and Lincoln Nautilus are midsize, two-row SUVs with seating for up to five. The Nautilus offers slightly more space and cargo room, with 36.4 cubic feet of capacity compared to the Cadillac XT5's 30 cubic feet. The Cadillac XT5 makes up for it, however, with a muscular and refined sense of style that's more distinct and attractive on the road.
