2020 Lincoln Aviator Reserve AWD - POV Review

These things look ELITE on the road.

amorperecido Lol okay big time. Where’s your $90k SUV? Exactly stfu. Also, this SUV is $90k in the States. It’s probably $150k overseas. What do you do for a living? Additionally, I said “looks elite” not is elite. Learn to read and comprehend to understand the difference.

[@michaelmcmillon5933]

Really nailed the design, doesn’t look anything like an explorer

[@craigt5990]

I have one. it is... Black Label, grand touring, pristine white with flight theme and luggage tan interior with every available option. It also has the not listed as an option by Lincoln, option of rear seat entertainment found in the Navigator. This is an AMAZING vehicle. I have approximately 3700 miles on it and the computer tells me that I am averaging 24.7 mpg. This thing is a ROCKET. I am a product of the 50’s and 60’s, Vietnam veteran and car buff, I have had my fair share of muscle cars and this is the best one yet.This is just the cat’s meow. I LOVE my Aviator.

[@bobhimself2590]

That ipad size screen sticking up looks stupid just an eyesore in my opinion almost all new car interiors pretty much just have a tablet for the interior anymore I guess nobody cares about nice interior anymore

[@ccvr6]

The engine produces great numbers, but sounds a wee bit “grainy”. I’m sure it’s smooth...it just sounds like it’s working a bit more to move that weight around. At any rate, this is a very sophisticated vehicle. Will wait for that Lincoln depreciation to kick in, them trade my Infiniti QX60 for one.

Damn good thing I don’t live in Europe then

[@fakeapplestore4710]

weird. The chime is the best part.

[@citibear57]

N-I-C-E !! Thanks for the great video Topher. It's pretty impressive for an American vehicle. Yes, it has a few quality issues, most of which I am sure can be fixed at the dealership. And perhaps it is 95% of the German luxury SUV's. but I imagine those vehicles wear a hefty premium over the Aviator. There's only one thing that stood out to me, and not in a good way, which is the speaker grilles. The aluminum (?) looks cheap and doesn't blend in with the rest of the interior. Maybe they look better in person? The sound system is awesome, even listening to it via a YT video. One last thing, I am happy to see that Lincoln used restraint on the use of piano black surfaces.

[@ScoobyDrewski]

[@Lion-dr7uv]

It’s because it’s a luxury car. Lincoln’s target market doesn’t buy cars used. Other guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about, Mercedes-Benz can’t hold their value either. The Expedition, Yukon and Explorer on the other barely depreciate.

The Telluride is a great vehicle, but it’s neither luxury or American...the Aviator is on a different level...and he’s right to assign in the term “full-on American luxury.”

Wesley Walls well said. This ain’t no Telluride and I mean that in the best way possible

[@a.muratpektas4572]

Wesley Walls I was not implying that topher was wrong calling it full on american luxury. I stated that the term is meaningless to other markets at this point. American manufacturers just assign a different brand to a different trim level at this point. PSA is doing the same thing with DS, thus i wouldt consider it a luxury vehicle either.
