Exchanged our Volvo XC90 for a 2023 Aviator Reserve. Drives great on the highway…very quiet and comfortable and classy looks. Have only 3500 miles on it now but very happy with it to date. Now have almost 30k on this vehicle and no issues with it. Only had been in the dealership for routine oil changes. Love driving it on the highway.

After buying an XT6 Caddy traded to an Aviator in 9 months. What an improvement The Aviator is heads and shoulders better than the XT6. They should be ashamed putting Caddy emblems on a car like that!

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. It has a lot of power, and if you have a charged battery it will leverage both the engine and the battery - and you'll get going pretty darn quickly! It's a good looking vehicle, though not a looker. What it lacks in "style" it makes up for inside. Plush Plush Plush. Everyone enjoys riding in this, and the 3rd row actually fits two adults (though it's tight). I usually leave the 3rd row down and have an abundance "trunk" space. With all the rows down, you are in "moving some furniture" terriroty. It's spacious. The tech is good, but nothing really that special (why would you need a cellular hotspot in your car when everyone has cell phones?). Big dissapointment for me is not having wireless Car Play. My BMW did, but alas, in the Lincoln you need to use a cable. If I had one other con, it would be the handling - it's not bad, but it's a little "squishy" - but I"m coming from a BMW so take that with a grain of salt. Overall - this is serving may family very well, and we are very pleased with our purchase a year out.

Great driver but overpriced and lacks features

I frequently drive 1,000 miles in a day, so I decided to trade my Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland on a more comfortable, 2025, $84,000 Lincoln Aviator Reserve. I have never regretted a new car purchase more. The Lincoln drives great but lacks features and has a poorly designed infotainment system. It has also been in the shop 3 times in the 5 weeks that I have owned the car, and it is currently there – 9 days and counting. First the good: The Aviator is comfortable, quiet, and it handles very well. The engine is both powerful and efficient - better than I expected. The Luxury Package seats are exceptional. The marginal: The infotainment system is weak. Compared to my previous cars this one requires that you divert too much attention away from driving to work through screens, making it a less safe vehicle. The Aviator does not include its own navigation system. Instead, it is loosely integrated with Google Maps. If you send a destination to your car through the Lincoln app it normally shows up as GPS coordinates with no name attached, so a trip with multiple stops is not worth the trouble – I use Apple CarPlay instead (when the system is able to connect with my iPhone, which is inconsistent). The head-up display does not include lane position, so driving through busy city freeways at night requires looking at the inside screen too often. This display occasionally stops showing any navigation information at all, forcing you to shut off navigation and restart it – this will hopefully get fixed. The volume/channel button on the steering wheel only lets you move between presets (no searching channels except through the main screen). The button stops working periodically, and you must switch screens to make it work again, so it is a software issue that the techs can’t figure out. Missing features: I read that all Reserve models include the hands free liftgate open feature, and the Lincoln Concierge confirmed that my car had this feature but the dealer could not make it work. After much research I find that Lincoln quietly dropped this feature in 2025 because they were not able to make it work reliably. The feature works great on our BMW and on Jeeps. Night Vision: This uses IR headlights to display warm bodies much further away than you can see them with headlights, especially when another car is driving toward you. This is admittedly a specialized feature but is very important if you drive at night in areas where there are lots of deer – 2 of my friends have hit a deer in the last 10 days. Jeep includes this feature in their Overland, but Lincoln does not even offer it. Rear view mirror able to act as display for the backup camera. This is important if you load the back of the vehicle and block the view of the rear-view mirror. Jeep and others have this, but Lincoln does not offer the feature. The backup camera operates fine, but the clarity is marginal, especially at night. The bottom line is that there is much to like about the Aviator. Ford enthusiasts will like it and see the features as an upgrade from past models. For everyone it is a is a nice daily driver, and if the price was $10-20k lower, then the engine and driving dynamics would offset the electronic issues and lack of features. At the current price there are much better choices available.
Pretty piece of garbage

Great look and interior. It’s been in she shop 6 times in 6 months. Several known issues with plug in hybrid. Tons of ford take backs in them. Ours vibrates over 50 and hums. Already new compressor for air ride. Lurches forward and stops abruptly. All known issues and not repairable at this time. Stay far away because not fixable at this time. Pretty 80,000 turd they won’t take back.
