Review: Lincoln Aviator - New Luxury SUV Champion

[@waywardboi]

That red is stunning!

[@denalisiomontpellier4064]

Who needs a german suv when US produce these marvels? Btw, I'm italian, and I wish they would sell lincoln cars in my country! Ciao ragazzi.

[@avincb]

Your review was a breath of fresh air It touched on dimensions I value when seeking understanding thru information - both subjective and objective. Thank you.

[@NathanAdamsCars]

avincb thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@jefffishman1877]

Just bought an Aviator from Ted Britt. Good folks. Thanks

[@kkatlvolvo]

Great review. You are the first person I’ve seen to review the wiper blades. Nice attention to details Lincoln.

[@phlotographer]

still have not seen anyone demo the rear window wiper/washer which is no longer at the bottom which made cleaning the rear window difficult but is now hidden in the spoiler like Lexus used to do up until 2020. Strangely, the Aviator seems to be the only version that Lincoln has done this with. Would be interesting if they do this with the 2021 Nautilus as the 2020 Nautilus is just a 2019.

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Thanks for the feedback! I’m always working to make my reviews better and more useful. Sometimes I have to pick between making a concise video or making it more detailed. But the rear windshield is an important detail, so I’ll keep that in mind for sure!

[@phlotographer]

@@NathanAdamsCars Nathan -- I know others seemed to like your fast pace but I did find that for some reason, not you alone, seem to like going at a break neck speed when doing reviews. It is often difficult to withstand this concept when reviewing one item but becomes more difficult when making comparison reviews. While I was a bit frustrated I did bookmark your review along with one other review which actually was at my pace and was over an hour long but was very informative about the Aviator. I am currently trying to decide whether to keep my 9 year old MKX which I love and only has 103K KM (42 of which I put on in 6 1/2 years) or move to the Aviator. I have been looking at EV's but because of my low mileage use thus using little gas and because I really like all that the Aviator offers am leaning toward it. Age (76) also has a factor in the decision. The Aviator just has so many features that make it a terrific vehicle that it is hard to pass on. If the 2021 Nautilus would have the same features, due to it likely being a bit shorter than the Aviator, might tip my purchase but then again, time can be an issue. Just don't have a lot of it left -- fact of life/death.

[@leeedens9497]

Ok, the new-gen Aviator uses a turbo 3.0 V6 (400 hp / 415 tq, also available a plugin hybrid turbo 3.0 V6 @ 494 hp / 630 tq), the Navigator uses a turbo 3.5 V6 (450 hp / 510 tq), compared to something in its segment, the Acura MDX and Lexus RX, aren't in its segment (yes, their 3 rows, but smaller, 3 rows), rwd vs fwd, yes, you could argue 3 rows, but the Aviator's true segment is the Audi Q7, BMW X7, etc, I would say the 3 row versions of the BMW X5 or Mercedes GLE, but their 3 rows are useless, anyway, the Navigator is a truck based (body on frame platform), the Aviator is a rwd based unibody SUV platform, Lincoln needs to get more at the dealers, Lincoln best product to date

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

First aviator video I have seen! Good job! From an old aviator owner! Just subbed! Good luck. I’m trying to grow my channel as well.

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Joes Golden Garage thank you! I was excited when I heard about it so I have been planning the video for a while. Good luck to you as well

[@chudson4500]

That red is gorgeous!!

[@jamelmoore4356]

Awesome! No doubt this is gonna be a hit for the Lincoln brand! Best of all is that it’s RWD-based! With a standard 400hp power plant!

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Jamel Moore right? I love that

[@alexcintas8792]

Sweet, nice job Lincoln..

[@AGC828]

Definately worth considering. Even over a Japanese SUV. Only problem is it lacks marketing. I bet must people don't know Lincoln makes SUV or that they're still in business.

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Good point. I have seen a lot around though. Hopefully the marketing on the street works well enough

[@andya9050]

Great Job!

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Andy A thank you!

[@jeremygjonaj1487]

It looks SOO good in red omland!

[@panamaa507ting8]

You have given the best review . My wife and I actually sat together through it.👍🏿

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Panama A507ting thank you!

[@HP-ov7ol]

IMO this is the nicest mid sized SUV on the market.

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Correction: 3.5 Twin Turbo V6 belongs in the Navigator and the Raptor. This has a Twin Turbo 3.0 V6 with 400hp and 400ft-lbs of torque.*** I was going for a first impression/Test Drive style of review, but I should’ve caught the mistake in the edit. Thanks to everyone pointing out my sloppy mistake.

[@FloridaWildlife1]

When looking at the the spot where the B-pillar meets the headliner at 32:00, I certainly hope that's not the fit & finish we are going to get because that's not what my Audi looks like..(;

[@denalisiomontpellier4064]

yeah but audi is the top of the top of german brands for quality and comfort

[@MrSalem5227]

in Saudi Arabia, Ford - Lincoln respected name where the US cars in general works well in our hot weather

[@chayonneperalta2199]

Excelente Bello color

[@KT_One]

Ford needs to improve their displays. The large bezels around the screens remind me of an early 2000's cell phone. Particularly heinous is the dash screen. Why is the top arched when the dash opening is rectangular? Parts-bin sharing or a design oversight? Either way, it would drive me crazy looking at it every day.

[@chefcjnobles2423]

I wanted to hear the door chimes!!!

[@phillewis8839]

Is the red color a metalic or flat red ? well done !

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Phil Lewis it looks metallic to me. I looked for the name of the color on the website, but the dealership listed it as “Red”. Thanks for watching!

[@panamaa507ting8]

Ok going back and forth. Will the reserve give you the option for white interior? I seen it in black and white but it has another name. Or is that combo exclusive for the black label?

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Panama A507ting thanks for the comment. I do not work for them so I cannot say for sure, but I did do some research. It appears that you can upgrade the interior seating options, but you cannot add the “Themes” like they have in the black label. The Chalet Theme is white with black stitching and accents. That is not available in the Reserve trim. You must go to Black label for those special themes. Again, that’s just based on me selecting options on the website so there could be more options I am not aware of.

[@MexicanRickJames]

How much was the cost for that particular aviator in the review?

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Ricardo Jaime Gonzalez it was $68,605 or something like that. It was the reserve trim with the Luxury Package.

[@MexicanRickJames]

@@NathanAdamsCars thanks a lot I appreciate it. I'm trying to get that one as soon as they're available here in San Fernando valley

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Ricardo Jaime Gonzalez you’re welcome! Good luck. It’s a great vehicle

[@wojtekm9726]

at one point of that video it appears like side of driver seat is rip

[@nileworthy9629]

Lincoln is kicking Cadillac's ass

[@WesLey-yv8vi]

Corsair review coming?

[@NathanAdamsCars]

That could be so. I will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@gregghanson6095]

Makes the Cadillac XT6 look like a Chevy. There is so much misinformation, and "I dunno" in this review.If you're going to do a car review you really need to prepare or not do it at all.

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Gregg Hanson thanks for the feedback. I was going for a first impression style of review - just kind of showing what I found as I went.

[@gregghanson6095]

@@NathanAdamsCars you gotta remember that when you do a review, lots of people watching are interested in the product and assume the reviewer is trained and knowledgeable. They watch reviews to learn about the product. Not cool to think that you could influence decisions that way. If you said at the beginning that you're doing the review for shits and giggles and are not trained, that would make a huge difference for people watching.

[@mybro727]

Gregg Hanson What a reach. Don’t be ridiculous. The Cadillac XT6 is gorgeous inside and out even in it’s base Premium Luxury trim. The same CAN NOT be said about the Aviator is it’s standard base trim. At this mid-trim level “Reserve” price point of $70,000 the Cadillac XT6 comes with a twin-clutch AWD system and is fully loaded. The Aviator soars all the way up to a ridiculous $90,000 and all you get is the addition of an electric motor, upgraded interior, and concierge treatment whenever you need a oil change. The Cadillac is the better value not to mention XT6 has a larger naturally aspirated V6 engine that will be more reliable than the Ford’s complex eco-boosted dual turbocharged hybrid motor concoction. Lincoln Aviator doesn’t offer a naturally aspirated V6 or V8.🤷🏽‍♂️

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

Gregg Hanson I don't assume anyone on you tube is ” trained” if you don't like something turn it off and watch something else. Most people that buy a car aren't professional drivers or buyers.

[@gregghanson6095]

@@kurtvonfricken6829 your assumption would be incorrect There are lots of professional drivers, dealers, designers, mechanics, etc. on KZbin. This guy isn't now of those.If you don't agree with a comment, don't read it or respond to it.

[@ryanmack7781]

the navigator has the raptor engine

[@NathanAdamsCars]

Ryan Mack it does. I was mistaken.

[@thangdo135]

[@supernewafrica4210]

Is that a damage on the to door pillar/roof on driver side? See why I stick with German brand?

[@1MarkKeller]

This SUV would look amazing in a burnished bronze with a medium tan or champagne leather interior, all the glossy black plastics should be replaced with woods (real or faux), the shiny chrome trim pieces (inside and outside) should be replaced with brushed or satin finishes that will reduce glare/reflection.

🔥The leather of the seats doesnt look quality finish as Germnan or British vehicles , this is something Licoln need to improve as Bentley finishes leather👌

[@waywardboi]

All the cars you mentioned are twice as expensive as the aviator. That had stitched leather cost a pretty penny and some German cars aren't even using leather but comes as an option whereas here its standard!

[@vidalibre2230]

marcus stokes jajajajaja jajajajajaja twice expensive??? noooo! More than that a Bentley Bentayga is 325,000 to 355,000 dolars , sorry but thats not twice is like 6 times More expensive than a Lincoln Aviator, still the aviator needs to improve leather finishes on seats, they are very poor on quality ‼️

[@debbrowning9552]

Leather is just fine!

[@nonofurbiz4434]

If your going to do a car review, make sure the thing is clean inside! 🙄

The navigator is a 3.5 TT V6. Same engine from the raptor. Please research thoroughly before you make a cash grab video!

Same problem as the Cadillac, they haven't even bothered to look at their competition. The Mercedes makes this look like a 2010.

[@DLewis-pc2op]

It's still a Ford. Buy a Toyota.....avoid the massive repairs.....

[@KB-bh9hp]

It's a ford, not a BMW dude. The whole, ford's are still unreliable thing is about as accurate as saying Korean cars are still unreliable, aka, not accurate really at all. The focus and Fiesta have issues, but that's about it.

[@barryshoot2369]

You should review the 2020 Hyundai palisade or Kia Telluride. Both vehicles have twice the features and much better quality than a Lincoln aviator for almost half the price and both come with a far superior warranty.

[@KB-bh9hp]

@@barryshoot2369 Aside from the thing about the warranty, nothing you said is really true.

[@denalisiomontpellier4064]

koreans cars are a bit obsolete mechnically and no longer less expensive than competitors.

[@blacke.blackerton5430]

@@barryshoot2369 agreed. A loaded Palisade or Telluride is around $48,000. You get 6 USB ports in the Telluride, 7 in the Palisade. This only has 4 (none in the rear on any trim), and a Black Label is about $85,000....
