The 2020 Lincoln Aviator Resets The Bar With These Amazing Features and One That Blew Us Away!

I can't stop watching videos on this new Aviator! I really like the deep thought,quality, and attention to detail that they put into it.

Lincoln hit this car out of the park and into the lake. The Aviator is such a delicately designer car. I think it’s best in class in looks and when you consider the price, this is tough to beat.

That was a great review... That car will sell... Ford needs to give Lincoln more autonomy so that the next batch of products would still take them up a notch....

[@FuelEconomyTest]

The best part about the Aviator is it takes regular 87 octane fuel. Unlike many luxury SUVs, it won't require premium fuel. When you fill a vehicle of this size, it makes a BIG difference. You'll probably save $20-$30 per tank depending on where you live.

[@LlyleHunter]

The gift that keeps on giving.

[@man_on_wheelz]

It won't require high octane fuel, but I drive a twin turbo Lincoln from 2010 and mine doesn't require it either, but they say in the owners manual that though you can regularly put 87 octane in, they prefer higher octane fuel for performance reasons. I only put high octane in my Lincoln for the sake of a healthy car at it's old age. I'd imagine this Aviator will have the same thing written in it's owners manual which will make the dependence on high octane fuel debatable honestly. But you're right, it CAN run on 87 octane just fine.

[@FuelEconomyTest]

@@man_on_wheelz That's good insight. There are two reasons Lincoln cars take regular 87 octane fuel. First, they save cost by being able to use similar engines as Ford. Second, a large portion of their sales are to fleet/taxi companies, who prefer cars that take regular fuel in order to make more profit per mile.

[@man_on_wheelz]

@@FuelEconomyTest Really good point, that's a really good point! The fleets probably do demand that they make it possible to put 87 in the tank which makes sense why they've made it so the car can still run on 87 even if the engineering of it typically demands higher octane. I know one thing, I love everything about my Lincoln MKS, I sure hope I can someday pick one of these up used in the future.

[@TheArkDoc]

This is sexy. I have a navigator, which I love, but do like the smaller package of the Aviator. The proportions are about perfect on the Aviator. Another homer for Lincoln, and to think, a few years ago I thought Lincoln was DOA.

I thought the same its size numbers on paper looked really really good. I looked at in person yesterday at our local dealer. I even brought my cloth tape measure I was confident this would be my next ride!! Nope!! The interior follows the theme of tight cockpit feel I flew planes for years even the Cessna 172 feels roomy compared to how the seating dynamics are in the Aviator!! I was shocked actually at how cramped it feels. Then came the rear hatch size you know busy dad with 2 kids and a dog stuff? The rear hatch is nearly identical to my 2010 Subaru Outback! Yes its smaller than the 2020 Outback rear hatch! These are just really big cramped feeling 4 seat sport wagons you guys. I would even go as far to say the Larger Audi Wagon / VW Passat has more open spacious feeling interior. I my shock / disbelief and disappointment was so obvious the sales guy said look this probably isn’t the right vehicle. Before I even was convinced it was all wrong for my needs.

Omg soft closed door!!!!I'm getting one my kids are always slamming my doors!!!!! Pluse Lincoln did a fantastic job with this SUV.👏👏👏👏 Good job FORD ASSEMBLY PLANT IN CHICAGO!👏👏👏👏 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[@guyod1]

I don't care about soft close but if they can make it so kids can't open door into parked car I'm all in.

[@raymonderbis1219]

This was a great review. I bought a new black label aviator. I should be receiving my car the end of September 2019. I can’t wait to get it. I feel like a kid in a candy store.

[@Jimmycrdns]

Good job on the Aviator Lincoln! and Navigator of course. Now give us a high performance 4 door sedan that will compete with the Audi RS7, Cadillac CTS-V , ect. Hey just drop the Mustang engines in them (Shelby's and 5.0's)

Great job Roman...looking forward to the hybrid review

Guy: “Navigate to the nearest airport” Lincoln: “Here are a list of commands to chose from” *not navigating to the nearest airport* Guy: “Looks like it worked pretty well” 10:41 My mom used to have a new 2015 Ford C Max so I know how bad the voice command system is. *bad is an understatement FYI*

Cadillac shaking right now

[@Tiovergudo]

Great all around vehicle! Way to go Lincoln! I see they stayed true to their roots and gave it air suspension that hopefully in a few years it will not drag butt like all the other air suspension Lincoln’s I see around town. ;)

[@DesertStateNevada]

Unbelievable. This looks amazing, such a breath of fresh air after all the german brands.. But why, WHY dont they offer a V8 with this? Why stop just right before crossing the finish line, why not go all the way?

[@optimusprime5166]

To me power wouldn't really mean nothing to me in this car. If had this I would just be cruising and chilling.

[@DesertStateNevada]

@@optimusprime5166 Great, then you could buy the V6 version. But why not give a V8 version to those who do care about power?

18 miles! Which is enough to quietly scurry out of your house at 2AM!

Wow! This is a winner!!! Job well done!

[@darrincarter8350]

I’m glad you guys like the new Aviator. I’m very proud to be apart of Ford motor company. I’ve been employed by Ford 15 yes now ( Chicago Assembly Plant) where we build these. Both the Aviator & Explorers are well built SUV’s. In solidarity- UAW-FORD

[@reginawoodson7885]

Darrin, I just ordered my Aviator and I gotta tell you I have never been more excited about getting a new car in my 25 plus years of purchasing cars!!! Great job Ford/Lincoln!!

This is an X7 competitor. Cadillac is more of an MDX competitor. But the X7, XT6, and MDX don't have a PHEV. So the Aviator could steal some model X sales too.

[@LuisGonzalez-sb9lx]

Adithya Ramachandran oh hell no. The people who buys Model Xs are young adults. Lincoln is made for elder people.

[@gondorian1006]

You quoted the wrong fuel economy. EPA figures are 18/21/26 for the rwd model and 17/20/24 for the awd. The hybrid should be better but isn't rated yet.

[@TFLoffroad]

gondorian it is rated

[@gondorian1006]

@@TFLoffroad according to your website there is no EPA rating for the grand touring hybrid yet. "Only the standard Aviator has certified EPA figures at the moment, with the rear-wheel drive model managing 18 City / 26 Highway / 21 Combined mpg." There is also nothing on the EPA site for the hybrid as of 17 August 2019.

[@jfsiiiautomotivereviews8343]

This 3.0L has the same 400 hp as the new explorer ST correct?

[@gondorian1006]

Yes. The base aviator has 400hp. The hybrid has 494 hp

[@glenm2229]

I'm crossing my fingers that 3.0L V6 twin turbo Ecoboost finds its way into the Bronco too ...

[@rhydynamic8306]

Jack Stewart The 3rd+ Yes, but 400HP is not enough! So, they even offer 494HP only with the hybrid!

[@ovp66223]

Unfortunately it's a bit of overkill and it shows up in the mediocre MPG numbers. I can't help but think, "it's 2019 and we're still getting MPG that matches 1999?" I get there is more power in smaller engines/turbos, but I'd think with newer technologies cars would be powerful enough and make MPG of my youth seem like gas guzzlers...but we're stuck in neutral. Maybe it's to force us over to electric? Conspiracy? Oh, and so you know I am not banging on Lincoln so much as the auto industry in general, the new Audi Q3 (sub compact SUV) gets 19/27 with a 4 cylinder...now THAT is truly awful MPG, rivaling 1980s numbers. You'd think it would 0-60 in 4.8 seconds with such poor MPG, but it's nothing special.

[@Mbalta001]

@@ovp66223 These are customer driven decisions, people with money to spend on a luxury vehicle want more power.

[@albertchen5501]

I’d say that German luxury brands are outdated after seeing what Lincoln has done to Aviator and Corsair.

[@bid84]

Albert Chen Yes because everyone knows that American cars are built to last and made of quality material..... HAHAHA sorry I couldn’t continue. Yank cars look flashy but are actually constructed out of fermented donkey cocks.

I like this more than Xt6 , after seeing both in person I must say the xt6 lacks character and presence you would expect from Cadillac over Lincoln. Interior wise I felt the Lincoln was a tad more comfortable , at least for me. I feel like this will be the more competitive offer to the Europeans of the two. The xt6 will do good against the Germans as well , but I think it's direct rival is the Lexus rxl.
