Cadillac XT5 vs Lincoln Nautilus Performance
The new Cadillac XT5 is available Princeton, IN for drivers with two engine options. The entry-level choice is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 235 horsepower. It comes with a standard nine-speed automatic transmission and your choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The other Cadillac engine choice is a 3.6-liter V-6 that you can count on for 310 horsepower. That engine gives you a choice of front- or all-wheel drive.
Every new Lincoln Nautilus, regardless of trim level, comes equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, just like the Cadillac XT5. The entry-level version produces 250 horsepower, so the Lincoln has more horsepower but the price tag is considerably more. You'd have to spend even more to upgrade to the hybrid Nautilus to get 310 horsepower, just like the Cadillac XT5. Bottom line: The Cadillac XT5 delivers excellent horsepower with a much more affordable price, saving you more than $7,000 vs. the Lincoln Nautilus. To sweeten the deal even more, the Cadillac XT5 has an amazing maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, which is far more than the Lincoln Nautilus with only 1,7850 pounds of towing capacity.
