The 2022 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.
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
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Good
7.7
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Lincoln Aviator on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7/10
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
8/10
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
8/10
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.
2022 Lincoln Aviator trim level differences
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.
Which Aviator trim 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.
The 2022 Lincoln Aviator has a 4 years / 50,000 miles basic warranty and 17 recalls. Below you’ll find our owner reviews.

2022 Lincoln Aviator 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 … quick 2-3 minute trip to gas station or grocery store (happened 4x). The 28 speaker stereo is as good as any I've ever heard in a car. The acceleration is fantastic. It blows away the RX we had. The only major drawback so far would be the gas mileage. On long drives we have only gotten 21-22 mpg. We have had Lexus vehicle's for over 12 years and I was hesitant on switching but the power and comfort level in the Aviator swayed us. I'm hoping the reliability can equal the Lexus. The reviews on previous year models has me a bit worried but like I said, so far it has been great.
3/6/22:
After having several Lexus RX350’s we switched it up and leased a 22’ Aviator Reserve. Although we ended up spending more than what we wanted in hindsight stepping up to the Aviator has been a great choice. Initially I was concerned about getting an Aviator after reading all the issues and buy backs Aviator owners have had we have been thrilled. We have driven 5K miles in the 5 months we have had it and no major issues and nothing that required me to talk to dealer about. Just had to check the manual. All the safety features are really nice too. We’ve gotten several compliments on the new color, Ceramic Pearl.
We thoroughly enjoy all the bells and whistles the Aviator has which the Lexus RX didn’t. The messaging seats have made longer trips a breeze. My back issues have dissipated.
The power of the V6 twin turbo would leave my old RX in the dust. The Revell stereo with 28 speakers blows me out of the car.
The third row seat is only good for kids not adults. That’s about the only negative other than the gas mileage which is 19 city and 23 highway. The piano gear shifting still is taking time to get used to.
Happy camper
So it’s been 18 months and we still have had absolutely no issues with this beauty. The combined mileage is 22.5 which isn’t the greatest but it could be worse. Still a great road trip car.
Fatal flaw

Loveditbutleftit, 07/16/2021
2021 Lincoln Aviator Reserve 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
I drove my Aviator Reserve for 18 months. Love the ride, the trim, and the electronics. In every regard it is a luxury vehicle and very well thought out.
But...
It has a fatal flaw that, in the end, drove me to trade it in. Specifically, the door opening mechanism on the inside of each door is electric. It depends on electrical components inside each door and on the overall health of … the electrical system.
Only one of the four doors, the driver's door, has a mechanical override release in case of electrical failure. Imagine an auto accident where the electrical system is compromised and the driver is disabled. How do passengers get out? Since the release is located in the lower front corner of the driver's door, passengers must first move the driver to get to the release. And if there's a fire....
I drove the car for 12 months before this problem really became real to me. One morning I went out to get into the car and the driver's door would not open. Passengers' doors opened, but not the driver's. I got in the passenger's side and crawled over the console to get into the driver's seat. The driver's door would not open from the inside, either. And if you're 76 like I am, getting to that mechanical release is no easy trick.
Lincoln towed the car. It took over five weeks for them to get the parts to fix it.
Slowly but surely it sunk into my rather thick skull that my son had been exactly right when I showed him the car for the first time. He said it's a fire trap.
I gave the car two stars because it is a dream to drive. If you buy one, make sure you keep hammers available for each seat to knock out the windows for emergency exit.

2022 Lincoln Aviator Reserve 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
I’ve driven my 2022 Aviator for about four months now with no repairs needed. Very quiet, nice ride, comfortable seats and right at 20 MPG combined mileage. I’m very satisfied with this purchase.
The Aviator now has about 18,000 miles. A few thousand miles ago I got an engine warning light on the dash. The dealer replaced something having to do with the thermostat. Other than that, the … Lincoln hasn’t caused me any grief. It’s a beautiful vehicle, rides great. I’m very pleased.

2021 Lincoln Aviator Reserve 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 10A)
2021 Aviator 1600 miles. Factory paint defects, rattles, faulty fuel gauge. Currently in the shop for 16 days. Lincoln refusing to authorize a repair because the problem comes and goes, even though the dealer witnessed it happening and I have video of the faulty gauge. Satellite radio stopped working then magically started again. It seems the problems still affect the 2021 models.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Lincoln Aviator, so we've included reviews for other years of the Aviator since its last redesign.
