Let’s start things off on a high note—or should we say strong note? The Lincoln Navigator and the INFINITI QX80 are large vessels, which means they need a robust powertrain to get going. With various adventures ahead, their capabilities will make every moment feel liberating.
Under the hood of the QX80, you’ll find a 5.6L V8 engine that pumps out 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque! How’s that for exciting?
The Lincoln Navigator cranks up the thrills with its standard twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine. This powertrain produces 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. Even though this SUV has a smaller engine than the INFINITI, you’ll experience heightened abilities and quicker acceleration.
Aboard the Lincoln Navigator, you’ll find Lincoln Drive Modes, a 5-mode drive select system. Each mode has calculated settings that adjust the adaptive suspension, shift points, drivetrain, information displays, and more! The INFINITI has Snow and Tow modes; however, you’ll find more ways to match your mojo in the Lincoln.
You can further adapt to your situation with the Lincoln Navigator’s Adaptive Suspension with Road Preview. This system uses a forward-facing camera that monitors the road for bumps and obstacles. The result? A continuously smooth ride. The QX80 goes without a similar suspension.
You’ll want to keep the good times rolling. In order to do so, the Lincoln and the INFINITI both offer standard safety suites to keep your morale high and to keep your adventures on solid ground.
The standard safety suites on the Lincoln Navigator and the INFINITI QX80 are quite similar. In fact, they share a few brand-specific driving aids in common, such as:
- Blind Spot Information System
- Lane-Keeping System
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Detection
- Reverse Brake Assist
These systems will instill confidence in you when you need to merge lanes or stop quickly to avoid a collision.
Despite having several systems in common, the Lincoln Navigator offers more standard features, including:
- Evasive Steering Assist
- 360-Degree Camera
- Active Park Assist 2.0
- Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering Assist
- Speed Sign Recognition
The INFINITI does offer a few similar features; however, you’ll need to upgrade to another trim level to gain the same level of protection.
Want to see the finest accommodations that luxury has to offer? All you’ll have to do is slide into the driver’s seat of the Lincoln Navigator or the INFINITI QX80 to experience true bliss.
Your comfort is important, which is why these luxurious SUVs equip various creature comforts on their base trims:
- Tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control
- 10-way power front seats with power lumbar support
- Heated steering wheel
- Heated front seats
Once again, the Lincoln goes above and beyond. Not only are the front seats heated, but they’re also ventilated, which means you can keep cool when the weather warms up. The rear-seat passengers can also get in on the action with standard heated and ventilated second-row seats as well!
If you need to melt away any tension, the Lincoln Navigator is also available with Active Motion® massage and up to 30-way front-seat adjustability.
On top of comforting amenities, these SUVs also deliver luxurious technology. Both models have respective infotainment suites with smartphone integration, Amazon Alexa Built-In, navigation, and more!
However, you may have an easier time selecting your applications and viewing your navigation on the Lincoln’s 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen. The QX80 also has an impressive 12.3-inch touchscreen; however, the Lincoln’s larger display makes for easier screen usage and visibility.
The 2023 Lincoln Navigator and the 2023 INFINITI QX80 are at the top of the ranks thanks to their impressive capabilities and luxurious furnishings. However, with greater performance, additional protection, and finer accommodations, we believe the Lincoln Navigator should go through life with you.
If you agree, you can get behind the wheel of this luxurious model at LaFontaine Lincoln Of Grand Rapids near Grand Rapids, East Rapids, and Rockford.
