The 2025 Lincoln Aviator Is A More Bougie & Tech Upgraded 3-Row Luxury SUV

[@theredline]

Good evening guys! Those of you up this late will be among the first to watch our First Look review on the 2025 Aviator we filmed earlier today! Big shoutout to Cole from TFL for shooting this video for us. We also just wanted to clarify that the Aviator in the video is actually NOT a Black Label trim, but a Reserve trim with the Jet Appearance package. Apologize for the confusion!

[@LuisUrbieta]

Hey Redline, why can't Automakers set all their specs in stone before unveil?

[@christianbryant5617]

Dream car! Lincoln is doing the best interiors and exteriors in the luxury market..

[@am_nota1ex104]

I’ve always loved the Aviator’s design, one of my dream cars and still is, and this refresh never seems to disappoint me, even though the previous Aviator looked nearly perfect. Can’t wait to see a driving video on this car!!!! Keep up the good work man and I love your videos as always 👏👏👏

I got a hand to Lincoln on this one that is one beautiful SUV

[@stravis3269]

I don't understand, what do you have to hand for the beautiful SUV? I think you mean you will enjoy this beautiful SUV with your hand. ✊🏼🥒

[@scottharper9645]

I love our 2020 touring pluggable. We got 24-27 MPG on the highway at 80 MPH. The battery saved us bank! I drove that car almost 20 miles per day doing errands for 4 months before taking it for any longer trips. We are both retired. I didn’t fill the tank during all those months. The pluggable option also gave use 100 more HP and 200 lbs more torque and yes, you really feel the increase in power.

I think I'd still get the Lexus RX over this for reliability, but this one has gorgeous styling!

[@naveenthemachine]

No you wouldn’t 😂 With all due respect, the RX is probably the worst option in the class. You’re better off biting the bullet with the nautilus or aviator In every category the RX falls way behind the competition and there’s no way to give credit where it’s due because of the sad reality that the competition does the exact same thing but better If the luxury of reliability matters get a corolla or civic. Not a luxury car

I like the exterior styling and front row seating interior layout as I think it looks really nice, but where it falls apart for me is second and third row seats. It’s like they just gave up were like get me some blocky fold seats and stick them in there oh and make the headrests collapse inwards into the seat by leaving some large cutouts. Yeah let’s do that.

[@beekaye1496]

Very nice aviator design outside but the interior needs be more like the Nautilus for sure.

[@rhondamims-brown]

Nice Review - Thanks - The Jet Appearance Package looks great, almost a Black Label

[@CarsandTechInfo]

7:16 I don't understand why they got rid of so many of the physical HVAC controls the Aviator used to have & are putting those buttons virtually in the center screen 🤦🏽‍♂️🙄

[@FlexRod]

Damn for that price I rather get a Lexus TX 500H F sport any day or their V6 Hybrid, or even a Tahoe or Luxury trim Escalade.

[@naveenthemachine]

The Tx is nowhere near as nice or as competitive as the nautilus You’d be wasting money with the TX. The aviator over far more than any TX or RX ever could and ever will

The center console in the second row take away from the allure of captains chairs. That’s pass through area is much needed floor space if you have kids or are on a toad trip. Other than that it’s pretty amazing. I’m sure most people appreciate the second row center console.

[@alwaysiyi272]

Man Lincoln knocked it out of the park with this, the interior looks amazing and luxurious while not being cheesy like the Nautilus. This, the TX and MDX are my favorite in the segment. It’s unfortunate that the Aviator is kinda small on the inside

[@naveenthemachine]

The aviator has the same interior space as the tx according to Alex on autos But I’d argue the aviator is a better vehicle than any TX

[@alwaysiyi272]

@@naveenthemachine well the Grand Highlander is much bigger than the Explorer on the inside so seeing as the Aviator is based on the Explorer, my best guess is that it is very similar, and cos this is a refresh the interior dimensions didn’t change. On some levels the Aviator is better, RWD, TTV6, probably better driving dynamics but the TX is also better in some other areas, more interior volume, much better mpg, plug-in hybrid option.

First, that’s not the Black Label trim. It’s a reserve with the jet appearance package (big difference between the 2). Also, that second row touch screen is not new at all. It’s been there since 2020! Adding on… ventilated 2nd row seats are standard on this, and lastly blue cruise is free for 4 years not 90 days. Do some homework before posting reviews!

Front end looks good but the dude profile looks a mess. Wheels look tiny and it always looks rear heavy and tilted. Doesn’t have the stance it looks like it’d have from the front at all to me. Something’s off.

[@SG-hu4wl]

Sad how much guessing you do... This is not a black label, The rear seat screen is not a new addition, Lincoln has offered rear seat ventilation from all the way back in 2010 from MKT and always for the aviator as part of a package.

[@sodachanga673]

For those interested, the calls I have gotten so far are seats not folding down, some electric issue that the the dealership could not figure out while they worked on seats not folding down, ticking sounds from one of the axle, so nothing very serious so far
