When you’re buying a luxury SUV, you deserve to choose what kind of power lies beneath the hood. Both the Lincoln Nautilus and the Cadillac XT5 offer two engine options to choose between. However, only one will give you the power you crave.
Choose which engine you want in both SUVs from the two you’re offered. A 2.0L turbocharged I-4 engine accompanies the Lincoln Nautilus and delivers an incredible 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.
In the XT5, the standard 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine generates 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
If you're looking for more power, the Lincoln Nautilus delivers with an available twin-turbocharged 2.7L V6 engine. With this engine, you'll enjoy a whopping 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.
No matter which engine you choose in the Cadillac, you'll only get up to 310 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque via the available 3.6L V6 engine.
Luxuries like upgraded seating make the drive that much more enjoyable. The Lincoln Nautilus goes above and beyond to provide plenty of space for all five riders. See how much more wiggle room you'll have in this model compared to that of the Cadillac XT5.
Sink into the optional Ultra Comfort front seats of the Lincoln Nautilus. They offer seven massage settings through Active Motion® to delight and relax you. The Cadillac front seats can’t even compete.
Although both vehicles promise room for five riders, looking at the chart below shows how much space each one has to spare.
