The Lincoln Aviator is powered by a 3.0L V6 engine fed by twin-turbochargers, making 400 horsepower. Power is sent to the wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission with an optional all-wheel drive system. The Aviator isn't lacking in power, with strong acceleration relative to most of its competition.
The Aviator comes in three basic trims, along with a Black Label Special Edition. The base trim is the Premiere and comes with a long list of included features such as 19-inch machine finished aluminum wheels, a power liftgate, power-adjustable heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals, full LED headlamps, tri-zone climate control, SiriusXM satellite radio, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 10-speaker sound system, rain sensing wipers, a remote starter and heated front seats. Safety features included on the base model include a pre-collision system with automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, blind spot detection and cross traffic alert, a lane keeping assist system and a rearview camera.
The Reserve trim includes a power sunroof, chrome exterior accents, 20-inch wheels, cooled front seats, leather upholstery, ambient interior lighting, an HD radio with a 14-speaker sound system, voice activated navigation, wireless device charging, surround view cameras, and a power tilt\telescopic leather steering wheel.
The top-of-the-line Black Label comes leather seating surfaces, heated, and ventilated first and second row seats, a heated steering wheel, heated windshield wipers, adaptive cruise control with stop and go capabilities, a parking assist system, wireless phone charging, a heads-up display, soft close doors, a rear sunshade and a 28-speaker sound system.

Luxurious Features
The Lincoln Aviator drops the Grand Touring model but otherwise carries over into 2024 with minimal changes.
Like all Lincoln products, the Aviator is first and foremost a luxury vehicle, offering a supple ride, low interior noise levels and an expansive interior. It competes with vehicles such as the Lexus RX, the BMW X5 and the Audi Q7. Relative to those vehicles, the Aviator offers a more spacious feeling cabin than the Q7 while costing significantly less than the BMW. The Lexus on the other hand is a relatively old design and is lacking some of the cutting-edge features available in the other cars. Speaking of features, Lincoln is banking heavily on smartphone integration for their new Aviator. The designers envision a world where the function of a key is largely taken over by a thing most drivers already carry around in their pockets or their purse: a phone. Get the Aviator app and up to four people can operate the vehicle without a key while saving preferences such as seating position and infotainment presets.
