The Lincoln brand is home to two of the most luxurious SUVs on the market. Each one delivers in its own unique way, and we promise you there's no shortage of top-notch enhancements and entertaining features. Compare the Aviator vs. Navigator with Lincoln of Lafayette in the following post and find out which is better suited for you and your West Lafayette commuting needs. So, from the beginning, what sets these two SUVs apart? 

A great place to start is size and efficiency. The Aviator delivers a lower starting price with a smaller frame and wheelbase that's more agile if you're maneuvering through Frankfort rush hour traffic. The Navigator, while slightly higher in price, delivers additional 40-cubic feet of cargo space and the interior features to turn this into a moving entertainment center.

Lincoln Aviator vs. Navigator: Performance and Power
