2027 Lincoln Navigator vs. the Competition: Which Large Luxury SUV Offers More?

When you're looking for a large luxury SUV, cabin space and refinement are top priorities. The 2027 Lincoln Navigator is the brand's flagship SUV, and it remains one of the best full-size luxury SUVs you can buy. Its roomy, lavish interior and muscular twin-turbocharged engine help it rise above its German-made competitors. The new BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS are renowned rivals, but they can't match the Lincoln Navigator's well-rounded appeal. At Forrester Lincoln in Chambersburg, PA, we're pleased to provide the following comparisons to aid with your decision about which one to buy.

Standard Power and Performance

Lincoln Navigator

     
  • Turbocharged V6 engine producing 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque
  • Rear-wheel drive - available four-wheel drive
    •  
  • 10-speed automatic transmission

BMW X7

     
  • Turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with 375 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque
  • All-wheel drive
    •  
  • Eight-speed automatic transmission

Mercedes-Benz GLS

     
  • Turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine generating 375 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque
  • All-wheel drive
    •  
  • Nine-speed automatic transmission

The 2027 Lincoln Navigator's standard 440-horsepower V6 engine gives it plenty of power for merging onto highways near Gettysburg. It also provides enough oomph to tow up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped - easily enough to pull a boat or camper on a weekend getaway.

The new BMW X7's standard 375-horsepower in-line 6-cylinder engine only enables it to tow 7,500 pounds. The new Mercedes-Benz GLS has a similar in-line six-cylinder base engine, and it maxes out at 7,700 pounds of towing capacity.

Interior Quality and Cabin Space

Take a seat inside the 2027 Lincoln Navigator and you're treated to one of the most beautiful cabins in the industry. Its color schemes, lighting, and materials give it a mid-century modern aesthetic. It also has abundant room for your family, with 172 cubic feet of passenger volume. The 2027 Lincoln Navigator also has ample space to store supplies for road trips from Hagerstown, MD - including 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row, up to 69.9 cubic feet behind the second row and up to 107 cubic feet of room with the second and third rows folded down.

The new BMW X7 has a plush interior, but it only offers 12.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row and a maximum of 90.4 cubic feet of room with all the back seats folded. The new Mercedes-Benz GLS provides even less storage room, with 17.4 cubic feet of space behind the third row and just 84.7 cubic feet of room with the second and third rows folded down.

Tech Features

Long drives between towns can be tedious, but the time goes faster with the right infotainment system. Carlisle, PA drivers will appreciate the 2027 Lincoln Navigator's 48-inch panoramic information display, which incorporates an 11.1-inch infotainment touchscreen. Heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats are also standard for maximum comfort on long journeys.

The new BMW X7 comes standard with a 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen. While its front seats are heated, you must pay more to add ventilation and massaging functions. The new Mercedes-Benz GLS comes with a 12.3-inch center touchscreen. It has standard heated and ventilated front seats, but the massage function is just optional.

Safety

The safety of you and your family is crucial, so the 2027 Lincoln Navigator comes standard with 11 standard driver assistance features, including: 

  • Lane centering system
  • Four-year subscription to BlueCruise hands-free driving
  • Pro Trailer Backup Assist

A standard surround-view camera system gives you a top-down view of the Lincoln Navigator and its surroundings to simplify tight parking situations in Waynesboro.

The new BMW X7 only comes equipped with six standard driver aids. For hands-free driving, you must add the Driving Assistance Professional package. The new Mercedes-Benz GLS comes with just eight standard advanced active safety features. To gain hands-free assisted driving capabilities, you must purchase the available MB.Drive Assist Pro Level 2++ system.
