2020 Lincoln Aviator Trims Comparison

The standard Aviator is quite well-equipped, with a power liftgate, low-profile roof rails, full LED headlights and taillights, automatic high beams, power-folding mirrors with an auto-dimming driver-side mirror, rain-sensing wipers, puddle lamps, and proximity entry with push-button start.

Inside, you'll find 12-way power-adjustable front seats with heating, two-way lumbar support and seat memory, power tip-and-slide outboard sections of the second-row bench seat, simulated-leather upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with tilt-and-telescoping adjustment. You also get a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror, tri-zone climate control, and a 5.8-inch touchscreen in the second row for climate control options. Heated wipers, a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats are optional.

On the tech front, the Aviator comes standard with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 10.1-inch infotainment screen running the latest version of Sync 3. You get satellite radio, navigation, Wi-Fi, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Aviator offers plenty of charging options, with one 110-volt outlet for the second row, two 12-volt outlets (with one in the cargo area), and USB and USB-C charging ports for the first and second rows.

Standard safety features include blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, lane keeping assist, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and a rearview camera with a built-in washer.

The Reserve trim adds 20-inch wheels, a 360-degree camera view, a 14-speaker Revel stereo, ambient interior lighting, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, premium leather seats, quad-zone climate control, 14-way power-adjustable front seats with two-way lumbar, power tip-and-slide second-row captain's chairs, and a hands-free liftgate. With all-wheel drive or the optional 22-inch wheels, the Aviator Reserve is equipped with an adaptive suspension.

The Grand Touring comes with a panoramic sunroof, unique exterior accents, and the upgraded plug-in hybrid AWD powertrain.

There are several option packages available for the Aviator. The Class IV Trailer Tow package equips a Class IV hitch and wiring, four- and seven-pin connectors, a beefier 250-amp alternator, trailer sway control, and trailer coverage to the blind-spot monitoring system. The Elements Package Plus adds heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats, a heated steering wheel and heated windshield wipers.

You can also add the Reserve I package, which includes the Elements Package Plus as well as a panoramic sunroof, active parking assist, adaptive cruise control, lane centering, evasive steering assist, and reverse braking assist. You can further upgrade Reserve I-equipped Aviators with the Luxury package, which adds 30-way power-adjustable and massaging front seats, rear door sunshades, a 28-speaker Revel stereo, and rear-seat audio controls.

A Reserve II package makes the Luxury package, Elements Package Plus and Tow package standard, and it adds 22-inch wheels, adaptive headlights and a light-up Lincoln emblem in the grille. This package can be upgraded with the Convenience package, which installs a head-up display, soft-close doors and wireless charging pad and lets you use your phone as a key. The Dynamic Handling package adds adaptive steering, an adaptive suspension with road preview (it reads the road surface ahead and adjusts the suspension before bumps and potholes), and an automatically lowering air suspension.

If you prefer a second-row bench seat to captain's chairs, one is available as an option with all Reserve packages.

The Aviator Black Label starts with the Reserve II equipment, but it tacks on the Convenience package and offers the Tow package and the Dynamic Handling package as options. The Black Label comes with unique 22-inch wheels and appearance cues, and it offers a selection of interior design upgrades with special color schemes. You also get access to Lincoln's Black Label services.

The Black Label Grand Touring steps down to 21-inch wheels and adds the Dynamic Handling package along with the plug-in hybrid AWD powertrain.
