Here's Why Cadillac Fears The New Lincoln Navigator

For the first time in a decade the Navigator is competitive.

For years it was the Cadillac Escalade that defined SUV bling and did so splendidly. But it was the Lincoln Navigator, when it first debuted way back in 1997, that kicked off this whole luxury large SUV segment. Cadillac quickly caught up and while Lincoln made do with the occasional Navigator refresh, the Escalade was regularly redesigned. But things are different today with the arrival of an entirely new Navigator. As it turns out, Cadillac is kind of worried about it.

Bloomberg has learned that GM is now offering a $5,000 discount on new Cadillac Escalades in an effort to seduce potential Navigator buyers – but it’s only for current Lincoln owners. For this month, any current Lincoln owner who trades in a 1999 or newer model will benefit from Cadillac’s discount. Yes, the Escalade has extremely loyal buyers who trade them in regularly for the redesigned model, but now Cadillac wants those Navigator owners too. Remember, this is the first time the Navigator has been completely redesigned in 15 years, so naturally current Navigator owners are going to be curious about what’s new. Cadillac wants to eliminate that curiosity by dangling a $5,000 discount.

Of course, $5k really isn’t all that much considering the base price for the Escalade is already over $75,000. This segment of buyers isn’t particularly concerned about money, but everyone loves getting a good deal. Those who’ve driven the new Navigator are reporting that it’ll definitely give the Escalade a run for its money, so it won’t be all that long until it’s redesigned once again. But for now, Cadillac is concerned about the Navigator’s arrival. It'll be interesting to see if the discount works.

Here's All The Discounts Luxury Brands Are Offering Right Now

Great deals are to be found this time of year.

It’s that time of the year. The holiday season is fast approaching but, above all for automakers, the end of the year is only a few weeks away. That means it’s time to not only get rid of excess inventory but also to aim for a strong end of year finish. BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz know all about this. And speaking of those luxury brands and some of their competitors, Cars Direct has discovered that many are offering some pretty sweet deals right now on many of the most popular premium cars and crossovers.

Here's several luxury makes and models that are very likely experiencing the best prices they've had all year. If there was ever a time to buy or lease, it's now. Remember, if you snooze you lose.

Audi

Thanks to a Season of Audi Credit when buying or leasing a vehicle, you can now get a $1,000 credit on either a 2018 or 2019 Audi Q7. The 2018 A4, A5 Sportback and Q5 are also each be offered with a $750 credit. The A3 sedan has a $500 credit of its own, while the Q5 has an additional $2,000 off. Note that Audi is offering dealers unadvertised incentives from $1,000 to $17,500 on select models. Of course, the amount you could save will likely vary from dealer to dealer, so it’s best to shop around.

Cadillac

Cadillac is really pushing end of the year deals. For example, you can buy a new Escalade SUV with as much as $7,000 off, depending on trim. That figure could potentially increase to $10,000 if you plop down a $2,000 down payment and finance through GM Financial. If you don’t want a big SUV but still like to sit up high, the XT5 is also being offered with some attractive discounts, like $2,000 in rebates on select trims. If you were to trade in a competitor and also finance through GM Financial, another $2,000 could be slashed. Lastly, there’s a $3,000 Flex Cash incentive. Do your homework, put your bargaining face on and you could drive home quite happy.

Jaguar

Fancy a new XE, E-Pace, F-Pace, or even an F-Type? Jaguar is now offering its Winter Sales Event bonus which entitles buyers to a $1,000 discount on a 2018 or 2019 XE or E-Pace. There’s another $3,000 discount option happening for the latter. The F-Pace has a $1,500 discount of its own that can also be combined with another $1,000 bonus. As for that F-Type, how does an $11,000 discount sound? We thought so. And yes, this applies to the supercharged V8 F-Type. The turbo four and supercharged V6 variants each have a smaller but still solid $8,000 discount.

Lexus

Lexus is no stranger to end of the year deals. Remember its December to Remember sales event? It’ll soon be back and there’ll be 0 percent financing and extra cash offered. Several 2018 models, including the IS, RX, and LS are eligible for 0 percent APR for 60 months. However, there’s a bit of a catch. If you go with the financing you could potentially be sacrificing other attractive rebate offers. Here’s one example: in California, a 2018 LS is eligible for a $5,000 discount plus another $3,000 when trading in a competitor for a total of $8k in savings. Your call.

Mercedes-Benz

The German automaker is bringing back its attractive low APR after over a year of no factory financing. For example, you can get 1.99 percent APR for 72 months on the 2018 and 2019 C-Class sedan or 2.99 percent APR on a 2019 E-Class sedan and the GLC. Prefer to lease? No problem. The 2019 GLA 250 Premium is receiving a $20/month price reduction for a final price of $359 a month for 36 months, but there’ll be $3,707 due at signing. You could also look at the offer like this: with its effective cost of $462, a new GLA is only $8 a month more expensive than the CLA 250.

Cadillac Enjoys Second Best Sales Year In Its History, And Here's Why

Automakers listen up, this is the recipe for success.

It’s ironic that most of Cadillac’s current lineup debuted after the automaker had invested billions of dollars to reinvent itself as a more sophisticated luxury car manufacturer on par with the European brands. Thing is, Chinese drivers love Cadillacs specifically because they aren’t a European brand. Hop over the Great Wall and the car scene is opposite to America’s. Over there a Mercedes or BMW badge is a mark of grey hair whereas the Cadillac logo stands for youth, virility, and and sophistication.

Still, that reinvention is serving it well because 2017 has rounded out as Cadillac’s second best in its 115-year history. By the time the new year’s ball in Times Square hit base, Cadillac had rounded out 2017 by selling 356,467 cars, a 15.5% increase in sales over the previous year. While numbers like that are a sign that the brand as a whole is flourishing, General Motors can thank its success on a variety of factors. Actually, you can narrow that down to two: China and the XT5. Let’s start with the former because the proliferation of Cadillacs into the world’s largest auto market has been nothing less than astonishing.

Year-over-year, China’s sales went up by 50.8%. “The resurgence of the brand is underscored by our attaining the second-highest total sales figure in Cadillac’s 115-year history,” said Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen. “Our objective of rapidly establishing a second volume hub for the brand to complement our U.S. operations has been attained, as our Chinese business grew exponentially, leaving us well-positioned for sustained growth going forward.” China is only part of the equation. US sales have been strong as well, with the XT5 sweeping the floor and garnering Cadillac plenty of customers. The rest of the world seems to love the crossover too, with 143,905 XT5s being moved in 2017. Was the investment worth it? Seems like it.

Here's Another Reason To Hate Those Sequential Shifters In Your 2018 Model

It's not just that they're more confusing to use, it's that they're here to stay.

The marriage between technology and cars has always been an awkward one at best. As a general rule of thumb there’s usually a gap of time between when a certain piece of technology hits the mainstream consumer market and when it gets installed into the cabin of a car. For the most part, much of the modern automobile cabin has remained the same. There’s still a pedal for the throttle and another for the brakes, a steering wheel, a transmission selector, and an infotainment system for the vehicle occupants to play with when conversation goes stale.

The problems arise, according to observations made by Automotive News, when automakers try to alter the proven recipe of current technology in efforts to get prospective test driving customers to swoon when they see the interior of the latest model. Mark Boyadjis, an automotive user experience analyst with IHS Markit, summed up the viewpoint of the automakers. He says, "What automakers are looking at is new ways to drive customer engagement, brand user experience, and to clean up the interior.” Unfortunately, that drive doesn’t always manifest itself in a user-friendly improvement on the old technology. Honda learned this the hard way when it swapped the volume knobs in many of its models with touch-sensitive sliders.

Instead of replying on a single turn of an unglamorous but reliable volume knob—a task that could be completed by feel—Honda’s touch slider required annoying and repeated presses on a vague area on the dashboard, fragmenting the driver's attention. Manufacturers have had a harder time still when it comes to figuring out how to get the shifter right. The will to dazzle has at times come bundled with disastrous results. Fiat Chrysler recently found itself at the center of a lawsuit after confusion surrounding its monostable shifters (a shifter design that returns the selector to the original position after a gear is selected) led to the high profile death of Star Trek star Anton Yelchin.

That doesn’t mean that every amendment to the interior of a modern automobile is a cause for scrutiny, however. For example, not many people moaned when manually operated windows gave way to electronic switches and the loss of cassette tape decks has only given automakers more dash space to utilize with minimal complaint on the part of the customers. On the other hand, some automakers are finding resistance to the phasing out of the CD player even though survey after survey finds that consumers favor Bluetooth audio systems and hardly touch compact discs anymore. Based on the technologies that have found deathbeds rather than spots on the dashboards of 2018 models, what can we expect to go next?

One reasonable expectation is the physical gauge. As companies like Audi and Mercedes swap physical speedometers and tachometers for high resolution digital displays packed with flashy colors and attractive layouts, the rest of the industry could get on board with this trend. No matter how nostalgic one can become over a piece of technology (we won't judge you for missing the manual transmission), it’s likely that technology will continue to change the landscape of the automobile interior with drivers remaining the test subjects for this experiment.
