If you're deciding between the two, here's how they compare in the areas that matter most.
Head-to-head overview: Navigator vs. QX80
- Size & space: The Navigator offers more usable third-row seating and greater cargo flexibility, while the QX80 is still roomy but feels older in layout.
- Engines & performance: Lincoln uses a twin-turbo 3.5L V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic for responsive power and efficiency. Infiniti now also equips the QX80 with a twin-turbo 3.5L V6, matched to a 9-speed automatic.
- Interior & comfort: The Navigator underlines modern luxury touches and a quiet ride; the QX80 is solid but less polished.
- Technology & safety: Lincoln brings larger screens, Lincoln Co-Pilot360 driver-assist features, and advanced connectivity. The redesigned QX80 introduces dual digital displays and updated driver-assist tech, though it still feels less comprehensive compared to Lincoln's package.
- Pricing: Infiniti starts lower, but Lincoln builds more long-term value into the package
In short, both are capable, but the Navigator pushes further into luxury while the QX80 appeals to those watching the bottom line.
