The Showdown of the Classic Luxury Brands: Lincoln Vs. Cadillac
You can't mention luxury without acknowledging some of the first brands to decorate the streets of California with performance, style, and grace. For decades, Lincoln and Cadillac have infused the world with premium comfort and convenience and have become status-defining symbols for drivers like you. Although these two brands share a lot in common, the rivalry began when Henry Leland, one of the founders of Cadillac, founded Lincoln in 1917. Since that time, they've been going head to head to claim the title of the best classic luxury vehicle in the nation. Before they face off, here is the tale of the tape.
The Comparison
Performance
Lincoln
From the start, Lincoln was designed to satisfy both the luxury enthusiasts and those that desired effortless power during their commute. As much as Lincoln defined status, even more so today, it defines power. You'll enjoy yourself more each time you get behind the wheel with vehicles like the 2022 Lincoln Navigator that climbs to 600 horsepower or the Lincoln MKZ that claims a max of 400 horsepower and all-wheel drive modes. Additional features lie in adaptive suspension, and optional turbo-charged engines will give you the confidence to handle every curve, or road, in Oroville.
Cadillac
When Cadillac started, they put the onus on exterior design and attraction. And although their vehicles were appealing, something changed. Cadillac decided that they could combine power with luxury to create next-level performance in East Tehama County. Vehicles like the V-Series models are equipped with brand-defining technology and performance-enhancing features. Brembo® brakes, Magnetic Ride Control, and Electronic Slip Differential are just a few ways that Cadillac will give you a thrilling commute in Yuba City.
Comfort
Lincoln
Your first-class flight should feel like the interior of a Lincoln brand vehicle. Exquisite seating materials, elegant dashboard finishes with unique wood accents, ultra-comfortable seats with Active Motion® technology, and active noise control are just a few features that define the Lincoln brand. When you're behind the wheel of any Lincoln vehicle, you'll always feel like you have the best seat in the house.
Cadillac
Every Cadillac is designed and handcrafted with authentic materials to enhance the comfort of your ride. Cut-and-sewn leather, natural woods, premium metals, and a luxurious ambiance will induce euphoria when you're behind the wheel. Hand-finished leather and available premium fabrics ensure that you'll always be in the arms of comfort.
Convenience and Maintenance
Lincoln
Your luxury doesn't stop and start when your vehicle does. With the Lincoln brand, our luxury extends well beyond your time behind the wheel. Our Lincoln Pickup and Delivery services ensure that you'll have premium service and repair without needing to leave your home.

Additional features like Active Glide will allow true hands-free driving on prequalified sections of divided highways.
Cadillac
Cadillac offers convenience packages for their vehicles, including Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keeping Assistance, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Super Cruise, and various technologies to increase driving awareness. And the MyCaddilac Awards program allows you to earn points towards regular maintenance and vehicle repairs throughout your ownership or lease.
The Future Plans
Lincoln
Lincoln is preparing to introduce an all-EV lineup of luxury vehicles by 2030, but the new EV SUV will debut later this year. There will also be overhauls for the Lincoln Nautilus and hybrid model additions for the Lincoln Navigator, and the highly innovated Lincoln Mark E is suspected to arrive in 2024.
Cadillac
Cadillac plans to rehaul most of their inventory to include either hybrid or Electric Vehicle (EV) production of their current models. Different variants of their popular vehicles like the Cadillac Escalade, XT4, XT6, CT4, and CT5 are underway for the 2023 models. Better performance and incredible power are on the schedule for future Cadillac vehicles.
