Comparison Review

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Lincoln Nautilus, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Porsche Macan.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Lincoln Nautilus is a better financial choice over the Porsche Macan, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Lincoln Nautilus is much wider than the Porsche Macan, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Lincoln Nautilus, which is slightly longer than the Porsche Macan.

Handling
The Lincoln Nautilus has a smaller turning radius than the Porsche Macan, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Porsche Macan is clearly the choice over the Lincoln Nautilus for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Lincoln Nautilus has a lot less horsepower than the Porsche Macan.

Powertrain
The Lincoln Nautilus has much lower torque than the Porsche Macan, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Lincoln Nautilus and the Porsche Macan. With the Lincoln Nautilus, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Porsche Macan.
