While considering the many three-row luxury SUVs out there, two options from American brands stand out from the pack. And while there are plenty of reasons to appreciate what the Cadillac XT6 brings to the table, the package you get with the Lincoln Aviator might be even better. Visit Ken Ganley Lincoln to see all the reasons you'll love the new Lincoln Aviator over the Cadillac XT6 today.
Between the Cadillac XT6 and Lincoln Aviator, only the Lincoln has a plug-in hybrid powertrain variant. The Cadillac comes with a respectable 3.6-liter V6 that makes 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. However, the plug-in hybrid Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring chucks out an impressive 494 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque from a turbocharged six-cylinder engine and electric motor combination.
Not only does this plug-in hybrid option offer additional performance, but it means more flexibility in how you drive every day. The PHEV setup allows you to run on electric power alone, so you don't have to burn a drop of fuel for the first 21 miles you're on the road. And if you want to run the two motors together, you'll enjoy a snappy zero to 60 mph sprint in just over four seconds, while all-wheel drive helps keep everything under control.
Finally, that plug-in hybrid powertrain offers nearly identical highway fuel economy when comparing the Lincoln Aviator to the Cadillac XT6. And around town, the emphasis on electric power puts the Aviator ahead by a full 3 mpg.
Both the Cadillac XT6 and Lincoln Aviator come with a wealth of advanced driver assistance features. Standard kit for both models includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, so safety in the city isn't in question. However, only the Lincoln comes with BlueCruise, a hands-free semi-autonomous drive mode. This setup allows for hands-free driving on certain, well-marked roads and highways. And with an emphasis on safety, you'll be warned when it's time to take control of driving once again. The system can complete lane changes with a flick of the turn signal, brake for slowing traffic, and navigate around corners on its own. All you'll have to do is pay attention to potential hazards and be ready to react.
Both the Cadillac XT6 and Lincoln Aviator offer three-row seating, but the Lincoln bests the Cadillac is nearly every category. The Aviator features over 18 cubic feet of cargo space behind its third row, compared to just 12.5 in the Cadillac. And with more leg and headroom up front, and more rear-seat legroom than the XT6, the Lincoln Aviator will have both you and your passengers riding in greater comfort.
Both models offer leather upholstery, but heated and ventilated seats come on a less expensive trim level in the Lincoln Aviator. That means great savings for the top-end luxury features you want, which lets you focus on enjoying the road ahead.
Of course, style is always subjective, but there are stark differences between the Lincoln Aviator and Cadillac XT6 that may be a difference maker. For starters, the sharp LED lighting of the Cadillac is brash and aggressive, while the more timeless elegance of the Lincoln Aviator will hold up for years to come. When it comes to luxury, being timeless is a part of the equation, and the Lincoln Aviator has that in spades.
In addition to the Gas model, we offer the Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring. This model blends the standard 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 gas engine with a chargeable battery-powered electric motor.
