There's a lot to like about the all-new Lincoln Aviator. The top-notch interior, the modern tech and the excellent ride quality are all great. But the plug-in hybrid version is a bit of an odd duck. It has a useful electric range and impressive straight-line speed, and it offers better fuel economy than the standard Aviator. But it's also only exclusively available as a top-level Touring trim and that will cost you quite a bit of extra money.

Notably, the Aviator offers an available plug-in hybrid powertrain. It'll go about 21 miles on all-electric power before switching to regular hybrid operation. Recharge frequently either at home or at a public charging station and you can really start saving on gas. That electrified drivetrain option sets the Aviator apart from its primary rivals, which include two of our favorites in the class, the Audi Q7 and Acura MDX.

Like other Lincolns, the 2023 Aviator has distinctive design inside and out. It offers plenty of room for passengers and cargo, and it's quite comfortable, especially when equipped with its upgraded front seats. Lincoln hasn't made any substantial changes to the 2023 Aviator. Be sure to read our Expert Rating of this SUV to decide whether it deserves a slot on your consideration list.

Edmunds 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.}

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Aviator Plug-in Hybrid drive? Thanks to the powerful hybrid powertrain, the considerably hefty Aviator Hybrid accelerates faster than we'd expect. At our test track it scooted to 60 mph from a stop in 5.7 seconds, which is quite quick for a family hauler. Braking performance was impressive too. And while it isn't a sporty SUV, the Aviator does move around corners relatively well.

What's less impressive about the Aviator Hybrid are its low-speed driving dynamics. The switchover from electric power to gasoline is clunky. And while we enjoy the fast, smooth shifts from the 10-speed automatic under full acceleration, they're less transparent when you're out for a cruise around town.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Aviator Plug-in Hybrid? Comfort is the Aviator Hybrid's strong suit. Our tester came with Lincoln's 30-way power-adjustable front seats with massage functions. They are incredibly luxurious. The Aviator also has comfortable second-row seating and very effective ventilated and heated first- and second-row seats. The third row isn't bad either — despite some relatively flat seat cushions, it offers a fair amount of comfort.

The ride on the highway is generally smooth thanks to an adaptive suspension. It softens large impacts well but can sometimes feel a bit jiggly over smaller broken pavement sections. But the cabin is ultra quiet whether you're at idle or cruising along at 70 mph.

Edmunds suggests you pay

Build & price

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The large cabin is roomy enough for adults of any size and the front seats' seemingly infinite number of adjustments — combined with a good range from the tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel — means you can almost always find your preferred driving position. Adjusting those 30-way seats, however, is an overly complicated process.

The cabin controls are easy to reach and easy to read. Entering and exiting the cabin is a breeze thanks to large door openings and an adaptive suspension that lowers the vehicle as you approach with the key in your pocket.

Below-average visibility affects the overall score, with small rear windows and a big blind spot. Blind-spot monitoring is standard, however, and an excellent 360-degree parking camera is available.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? A massive 10-inch touchscreen is center stage on the Aviator's dash with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. Bluetooth connections were error-free during our test of the vehicle. The 28-speaker Revel stereo provides audiophile-approved levels of sound quality even if the maxed-out volume didn't bump as loud as we expected it to.

The Aviator's crisp screen means easy-to-see navigation guidance and various infotainment controls. Adaptive cruise control works well, keeping a conservative but respectable distance on the closest settings. But the lane keeping assist system tends to let this SUV wander in between the lane lines a bit more than we'd prefer. The parallel and perpendicular parking systems are effective and accurate, but this big vehicle requires a pretty large spot to engage those features.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? The Aviator has an edge over competitors in storage behind the third row. Space behind the second row is average, and many competitors offer more maximum cargo volume. Small-item storage is impressive, with lots of large cubbies, cupholders and various areas to store your devices. Most car seats will easily fit in the second row, and there's easy third-row access for seats that have the proper dimensions to fit.

An available Class IV trailer package means you can tow as much as 5,600 pounds with the Aviator Hybrid. It also adds trailer coverage for the blind-spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert systems — unique features for the class.

Fuel Economy

7.0/10

How economical is the Aviator Plug-in Hybrid? The Aviator plug-in hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 23 mpg combined, which is 3 mpg better than the non-hybrid version with all-wheel drive and 2 mpg better than the rear-wheel-drive model. It puts up better numbers than some luxury plug-in SUVs such as the Range Rover but falls short of the Volvo XC90 T8.

What you're getting with the Aviator, though, is real plug-in power that you can use in city traffic (even if it's slow) and about 21 miles of usable electric range. Unfortunately, in our testing, we had a hard time even meeting the standard Aviator's EPA ratings with our hybrid test vehicle, so we aren't optimistic about the hybrid's score in this category.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Aviator Plug-in Hybrid a good value? The Aviator Hybrid is only available in the highest of Aviator trim levels, the Grand Touring, and that means it's expensive. Our Grand Touring Black Label test vehicle had an MSRP of $90,645. Thankfully, you get a lot of equipment for the money. What's more, the cabin is built with top-notch materials all around.

Lincoln's warranty of four years/50,000 miles is average, while its drivetrain warranty and roadside assistance coverage of six years/70,000 miles are above average. The Black Label trims get some nice features such as vehicle pickup (in certain regions) for complimentary maintenance and car washes.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Aviator Hybrid is big on power thanks to the twin-turbocharged V6 combined with the electric motor. It's also a sleek-looking car from the outside, but it's not as shouty as some of its V8-powered luxury rivals from BMW and Mercedes. It's also relatively fun to drive. For the right person, this SUV could be a refreshing alternative to Europe's finest.

Which Aviator does Edmunds recommend?

For the best combination of standard equipment and the ability to customize this luxury SUV to your preferences, we recommend the Aviator Reserve. However, because the Aviator's optional plug-in hybrid powertrain is unavailable with Reserve trim, the Grand Touring is your best choice if you want an electrified Aviator.

Lincoln Aviator models

The 2023 Lincoln Aviator is a three-row midsize SUV available in five trim levels: Aviator, Reserve, Black Label, Grand Touring and Grand Touring Black Label. The Aviator, Reserve and Black Label have a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine (400 horsepower, 415 lb-ft of torque). Grand Touring and Grand Touring Black Label models use a plug-in hybrid powertrain based on the V6 engine (494 hp, 630 lb-ft).

2023 Lincoln Aviator Black Label Grand Touring 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 10A)

I've had the Plug-in EV Black Label 2022 for about a year now, and am very pleased. I get about 20-25 miles out of the charge, which handles the majority of my city driving. When I'm going long-distance (and need the engine) I get about 23mpg.

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. Audi Q7

Appealing design, high-end materials, excellent build quality, impressive technology, a comfortable ride, agile handling, refined powertrains and standard all-wheel drive make the Audi Q7 our favorite midsize three-row luxury SUV. However, these traits come at a premium compared to the Lincoln Aviator, which offers more passenger and cargo space than the Audi. The Aviator also comes with an available plug-in hybrid powertrain, which is not offered on the Q7.

Compare Lincoln Aviator & Audi Q7 features

Lincoln Aviator vs. Cadillac XT6

People often cross-shop Cadillacs and Lincolns, and in this matchup, our recommendation is the Aviator. It provides more power, more interior room, more cargo space and more overall sophistication than the Cadillac XT6. The Lincoln is also more enjoyable to drive, and it offers an electrified powertrain option that Cadillac can't match.

Compare Lincoln Aviator & Cadillac XT6 features

Lincoln Aviator vs. Ford Explorer

The Lincoln Aviator is based on the Ford Explorer. The Aviator has more upscale styling and Lincoln's signature interior design themes, plus exclusive materials, features and ownership benefits. Plus, the Aviator offers a plug-in hybrid powertrain that's unavailable for the Explorer. However, the Explorer costs less money and its Platinum trim level adds enough luxury that you might decide that the Ford is the smarter choice.
