If you are fond of a spacious and cozy SUV but are not looking for the bulkiness of an Escalade or Navigator, the Lincoln Aviator could be an ideal choice. Being a hybrid, it brings more efficiency compared to oversized SUVs while ensuring comfortable seating for up to seven passengers.
Discover What’s Fresh and Exciting!
2023 introduces new styling options, such as the Jet package available on Reserve and Black Label models. The typical chrome trim has been replaced with sleek black finishes, and the wheel surrounds and plastic cladding are now in body-colored hues. The Illumination package is also new, featuring a glowing Lincoln logo in the grille, LED fog lights, and adaptive pixel LED headlights. Aside from the existing color choices of white, black, green, and brown smoke, Lincoln has introduced captivating new shades like red and jewel sandstone.
Interior Bliss
Inside the Lincoln Aviator, you’ll find a generous 18 cubic feet of storage space and the choice between six or seven-seat configurations. The standout feature is the Perfect Position seats with 30-way adjustment options, massage capabilities focusing on various back areas, and cooling/heating functions. Navigating through calls, music, GPS, and more is effortless with the user-friendly 10-inch touchscreen setup. The unique piano key-shaped shifters simplify parking, reversing, and driving tasks. Additionally, the Revel Ultima 3D audio system boasts 28 speakers for a truly immersive audio experience. One minor inconvenience was the non-plug-in phone charger placed in the compartment between the front row seats, preventing drivers from wirelessly charging their phones while having them in sight. We appreciated the convenience of using your smartphone’s Bluetooth signal to unlock and start the car, along with the impressive massive sunroof.
Security First!
Safety is paramount in the Lincoln Aviator, equipped with a wide range of features such as adaptive cruise control, self-parking functionality, forward-collision warning with automated emergency braking, lane centering assist, and blind spot monitoring.
Exterior Features
The imposing oversized grille showcases a striking blue Lincoln logo set in a honeycomb silver design encasing the 360-degree camera. Complementing the exterior are 21″ wheels, a plug-in option for charging, and a convenient one-touch feature for opening the trunk and folding the third-row seats to create ample trunk space.
The Aviator boasts one of the most robust standard engines in the mid-size luxury SUV segment, powered by a 400 hp twin-turbo V-6. For eco-conscious drivers, there is also a plug-in hybrid Grand Touring model featuring a 100-hp electric motor coupled with a 13.6 – kWh battery.
Starting at $88,230, the base price for the Lincoln Aviator Black Label Grand Touring Hybrid provides a luxurious and eco-friendly driving experience.
I embarked on a journey with the Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring Hybrid, traveling from LA to Las Vegas for a delightful stay at the Conrad at Resorts World. The ride was serene, remarkably comfortable, and truly enjoyable.
