Pros

Upscale design inside and out
Quick acceleration
Lots of advanced features
Available plug-in hybrid powertrain

Cons

Doesn't have an abundance of headroom
Overly soft handling saps driver confidence
Subpar visibility to the front and rear
Underwhelming real-world fuel economy

What's new

Minor changes to standard and optional equipment
Part of the second Aviator generation introduced for 2020

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator is a midsize three-row luxury SUV that slots between the full-size Navigator and the two-row Nautilus. The seven-seat Aviator made its return in 2020 after an absence of several years, with an all-new design, powertrains, in-car tech and advanced driver aids. It quickly became one of our favorite vehicles in the segment. It has a look and feel you won't find anywhere else in the class. The cabin is comfortable and extremely well appointed, with lots of premium touches that make it stand out in a competitive class. We also like the powerful turbocharged engine and the available plug-in hybrid powertrain.

There are no significant changes for 2022 outside of a few more standard features on the Reserve and Grand Touring models and some option package tweaks. Without any major updates to the Aviator, the Audi Q7 remains our pick in this class, but we think the Aviator is better than many rivals, including the Land Rover Discovery, Lexus RX 350L and Cadillac XT6. Check out our Expert Rating below to get our test team's full analysis of the Aviator's performance, comfort and more.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

7.7 /10

The Lincoln Aviator provides an upscale interior design, a comfortable ride quality and strong acceleration. Other midsize three-row luxury SUVs are more poised when going around turns, but overall we like how the Aviator offers shoppers something a little different.

Rated for you by America’s best test team.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the Aviator drive? The Aviator is quick in a straight line. While there's a slight delay when you ask it for power, the Aviator really gets going after that. In Edmunds' testing, our all-wheel-drive Aviator Black Label covered 0-60 mph in a quick 5.9 seconds.

Braking and handling are less exemplary. The brake pedal is overly soft, making smooth control difficult. The Aviator also feels big and wallowy when you're driving around turns and doesn't give you much confidence in its stability. Another problem is the transmission's clunky and slow transition between forward and reverse. All of these issues combine to make driving the Aviator less pleasing than we expected.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Aviator? The Aviator reminds us a bit of Lincoln models of old: It's big, heavy and cushy. Bumps are absorbed nicely, although there can be a bit of residual body motion. Wind and traffic noise is minimal, so you can have a quiet conversation in the cabin if you want.

The highly adjustable seats are quite comfortable once you've managed to dial them in. One notable demerit: The seat is a bit narrow, so you may feel the hard frame on your hips. As for the climate control system, it does a good job of regulating cabin temperature, though the seat heating and cooling are a bit weak.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The third row is pretty much a kids-only affair; there's just not much legroom back there. The second row is better and has a lot of legroom, but headroom is a bit limited if you have an Aviator with the optional sunroof. Up front, headroom can be tight for tall adults.

Visibility is another concern. The windshield and rear window are short, blocking some of your view of the road. There are also a lot of surfaces around the cabin that can cause distracting glare and reflections. As for the controls, they're generally easy to use, though pushing the transmission shift buttons and the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel can require taking your eyes off the road.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The infotainment screen has large text and virtual buttons, making it friendly no matter your comfort level with technology. However, it's a less sophisticated system than some competitors and lacks some of the coolest new features. For device integration, the first two rows have plenty of options for plugging in devices. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard, but using one of the smartphone integration systems locks you out of basic voice controls and creates annoyances with things such as adjusting vehicle settings or switching radio stations.

The Aviator's driver aids are quite good. The lane keeping and centering system works well and isn't overly noticeable, for instance. Adaptive cruise is smooth in heavy traffic, although it will brake aggressively if you set it to follow the vehicle ahead closely.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? The Aviator has an edge over competitors for storage behind the third row. Space behind the second row is average, and many competitors offer more maximum cargo volume. Our Aviator test vehicle had the optional air suspension, which you can use to lower the ride height and make it easier to load cargo. If you want to tow, the Aviator offers a solid 6,700 pounds of max towing capacity. The strong V6 engine helps out too.

Inside the cabin, all three rows offer a handful of useful storage options, though the center console box is a bit shallow. Small-item storage isn't class-leading, but it is certainly sufficient. For family taxi duty, the Aviator's second-row seat is roomy enough to install even bulky rear-facing safety seats. The car seat anchors are easy to access.

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates of 20 mpg combined (17 city/24 highway) for the all-wheel-drive Aviator and 21 mpg combined (18 city/26 highway) for the rear-wheel-drive model are acceptable for the class. But in our time with the Aviator, our best tank only returned 18 mpg, and our overall average was under 16 mpg.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Aviator a good value? Lincoln has come a long way in terms of design, content and quality. The Aviator looks and feels luxurious inside and out, with lots of thought put into making sure the first- and second-row passengers have a premium experience. The chrome and piano black trims are a bit chintzy, but other than that the Aviator offers something special.

We do question the value of the Aviator at its highest trim level. Our loaded Black Label test vehicle felt distinctly overpriced at $84,000. If you can live with a less luxe interior, go with the more competitively priced Reserve.

Wildcard

8.0/10

The Aviator looks distinctive, which we like. At the same time, it reminds us a bit of Lincoln models of days gone by. This vehicle is best driven in a straight line since it lacks the poise and confidence of European competitors when the road gets twisty. Don't care? Then you'll just be pleased to see Lincoln staking out a distinctive luxury personality.

Which Aviator does Edmunds recommend?

If you're going with the gas model, we suggest stepping up to the Reserve trim level for its ample feature content and strong value. If you're interested in the more powerful hybrid version, stick with the Grand Touring trim. Both include a good number of standard features and offer a more comfortable and well-appointed interior than the base Aviator.

Lincoln Aviator models

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator is available in five trim levels: Standard, Reserve, Black Label, Grand Touring and Grand Touring Black Label. The Standard, Reserve and Black Label models all use a 3.0-liter V6 engine (400 horsepower, 415 lb-ft of torque). Stepping up to the Grand Touring uses a 3.0-liter V6 hybrid engine (494 hp, 630 lb-ft). Rear-wheel drive is standard with the gas model, but all-wheel drive is available and is standard on hybrid Aviators.

5/5 stars, So Far We're Very impressed

TXCrashman, 11/19/2021

Reserve 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

We moved from a Lexus RX350 to the 2022 Aviator Reserve and are pleasantly surprised. The ride and technology blow away the RX. The messaging seats are great for longer trips. It really helps if you have a bad back, which I do. We have had our Aviator now for 7 weeks and have driven 1,800 miles without any issues except for 3-4 occasions when the Sirius radio has not reconnected after a …

4/5 stars, PRICEY

Nechi Peebles, 12/07/2021

4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

Beautiful but in my opinion overpriced. For a few dollars more the Lincoln Navigator is available. Cramped rear passenger compartment comparable to Ford Explorer. Rear seating lacks the luxurious appeal of the front passenger area. The Aviator MSRP is a high price to pay for lower fuel consumption.

5/5 stars, Awesome Ride

Reserve 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

hi all, the aviator is a dream to drive my previous car was a jaguar fpace. Nice car but the lincoln has it beat the aviator is quiet, comfortable roomy and not too bad on fuel. i did a 200 mile all highway run and got 27.6 mpg at highway speed. my only complaint is the exterior fit and finish which is no big deal

3/5 stars, Too many recalls

2020 Lincoln Aviator First Look | LA Auto Show

CAMERON ROGERS: The Lincoln MKT was kind of an odd duck. It wanted to be an SUV, a minivan, a wagon. It's kind of hard to tell. But the Aviator, the MKT successor, has its foot firmly planted in the midsize crossover category. Lincoln gave us a sneak peek a few days before its official unveil at this year's LA Auto Show. We first saw the Aviator at this year's New York Auto Show, but that was technically a concept. We walked away impressed by the expressive exterior styling and high quality interior. Thankfully, the final production model retains those same strengths. Next to me is the Grand Touring model, differentiated by its unique grill, blue Lincoln badge in the front, and blue aviator script on the side. The standard engine on this car is a twin turbo V6 with 400 horsepower. But the one next to me is a plug-in hybrid with 450 horsepower and a stunning 600 pound-feet of torque. Step to the side and you'll see the swoopy profile popularized by other luxury SUV coupes, but importantly, without a reduction in headroom. The first thing I noticed when stepping into the Aviator was how impressive this interior is. Without qualifications, this is a true luxury grade interior. And somebody coming from a Mercedes, or an Audi, or a Land Rover is not going to be let down. I mean, you have this really cool 3D texture sort of brushed aluminum look trim extending from a dash. And down here in the center console, you have leather coverings all the way up here. The seat leather seems to be really nice and supple. There's nothing in here that screams this is anything but a luxury car. There are, however, a few things that we hope get sorted out before the Aviator makes it to full production. The seat sits up pretty high. At 6' 4", I'm fairly tall. And this seat is in its lowest position. And my head seems very close to the headliner. The low roofline makes me feel a little claustrophobic when I look out the front. And while I have plenty of room up here on the front, the second and third row were a little tight. I can usually sit behind myself with little to no discomfort in most midsize crossovers. But sitting behind myself in the Aviator was a little tight in leg room. I also tried getting into the third row, and there's really no way to do that gracefully. But the Aviator doesn't just do the luxury stuff. It also has all of today's bells and whistles that you would expect of a car in this price range, from a 28 speaker premium sound system to an adaptive air suspension that can read the road ahead of you and firm up or soften the dampers to make the ride a little bit better. It also has what Lincoln says is the largest head up display in the industry. Has Lincoln finally produced a worthy rival to segment heavyweights like the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Mercedes Benz GLE, and Volvo XC90? We'll have to wait until summer of 2019, when the Aviator hits dealership lots to find out.

Lincoln Aviator vs. the competition

2022 Lincoln Aviator

2021 Audi Q7

Lincoln Aviator vs. Audi Q7

The Audi Q7 excels at just about everything we look for in a three-row luxury SUV. It offers comfortable yet agile handling, a variety of powertrains, standard all-wheel drive, and an extremely well-appointed interior with excellent build quality. It's more expensive than the Aviator, though, and the Lincoln offers more passenger and cargo space than the Audi.

Compare Lincoln Aviator & Audi Q7 features

Lincoln Aviator vs. Acura MDX

The Acura MDX just underwent a full redesign, with an all-new interior and exterior design, more tech and driver aids than before, better performance and a more comfortable ride. It's not as large as the Aviator, and Acura doesn't yet offer a hybrid variant, and its V6 engine can't match the Lincoln's twin-turbo punch. Read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Acura MDX.

Compare Lincoln Aviator & Acura MDX features

Lincoln Aviator vs. Cadillac XT6

The Cadillac XT6 is the Aviator's most direct crosstown rival. While it does offer three rows of seats, it doesn't offer as much cargo or passenger space as the Aviator. Its base engine is also significantly less powerful than the Aviator's, and the interior feels a step behind in quality compared to what Lincoln offers. We do, however, like Cadillac's technology and driver safety features.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Lincoln Aviator?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
