Which is a Better Luxury SUV? The Lincoln Nautilus or Cadillac XT5
When it comes to midsize luxury SUVs, the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus and Cadillac XT5 are two compelling choices. While both are great in their own rights, many want to know which is the better option in terms of value and features. We aim to answer this question, so let's see how these models compare.
Lincoln Nautilus vs. Cadillac XT5
| 2025 Lincoln Nautilus | 2025 Cadillac XT5 | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine Power | 250 hp @ 5,500 rpm | 235 hp @ 5,000 rpm |
| Engine Torque | 280 lb-ft @ 3,000 rpm | 258 lb-ft @ 1,500 rpm |
| Engine displacement | 2.0 l | 2.0 l |
| Cargo Space | 36.4 cu. ft. | 30.0 cu. ft. |
| Front Leg Room | 43.5 in. | 41.2 in. |
Performance
When looking at the numbers, the Nautilus is the more powerful vehicle. It comes standard with a 2.0-liter 250 horsepower engine and an available 2.7-liter V6 with 335 hp and 380 lb.-ft of torque. Combined with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Nautilus provides effortless acceleration for Oklahoma City drivers.
The Cadillac XT5, on the other hand, comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 235 hp and an available 3.6-liter V6 with 310 hp. While respectable, the XT5's power lags behind the muscular Nautilus, which, for some, can be a turn-off.
Technology
The Nautilus again leads the way in terms of tech. The 11.1-inch touchscreen features the intuitive SYNC 4 infotainment system with enhanced voice recognition, cloud connectivity, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration. An available 19-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system provides great sound when listening to your favorite music or podcasts.
The Cadillac XT5 comes equipped with an eight-inch touchscreen and an optional 14-speaker Bose Performance Series sound system audio. However, the XT5's tech offerings can't quite match the cutting-edge features found in the Nautilus, making the Lincoln the superior choice for Edmond, OK drivers who prioritize staying connected.
Safety
On the safety front, the Lincoln Nautilus protects what matters most with the advanced Lincoln Co-Pilot360. Key features include Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Keeping System, and Auto High Beams. Adaptive Cruise Control is also available for less stressful highway journeys.
The Cadillac XT5 offers comparable active safety tech as part of the optional Driver Awareness and Driver Assist packages. However, many of these features come standard on the Nautilus, giving it the advantage many Yukon, OK drivers are looking for.
