H B-day Mike!!!! Also how are you? Also Beautiful car. My parents are trying to decide between getting a Range Rover. Or the Lincoln Aviator. Please help!!! We currently have a 2013. BMW 320i with 112,211 miles on it. And it has a lot of problems and we need a new car. But we don’t need a massive SUV. We’ve had our fair share of those. We are preferably looking for a used car because the last time my parents tried buying a brand new car they were both involved in accidents. And it’s really only me that’s gonna be getting rides from them to and from school. Since my brother has his own car already. We want something that’s big but not too big and something with legroom. That’s something our current car doesn’t have and we want Bluetooth well better Bluetooth than our current car at least. Our current car has Bluetooth. But it SUCKS. My dad is 6’2 to 6’3 and I’m 6’1 to 6’2 both of us are very tall neither one of us fit in our current car so maybe this would be a good upgrade? We may also get a second car in another year or so since both of my parents will be starting their new jobs in Albany New York. We currently live in Massachusetts. Thank you!

This car definitely is on the Mercedes and bmw level. You compared it to a BUICK? A ACURA? Those companies are premium at BEST. the Lincoln is a luxury car.

Great video! I'm actually 1 of those consumers who considered a BMW X5/X7, Audi Q8 and ended up getting the Lincoln Aviator. It has it flaws (like any other vehicle) but I'm extremely happy with my decision. After all, I won't go broke trying to maintain it for years in!

I am in the same boat, just ordered the 2023MY GT

I was in the market and didn't start out looking at Lincolns. A BMW, Audi, Lexus, and Volvo we’re all options but I ended up driving one and there was no turning back! Love my Grand Touring and talk about pep!

LOVE MY 2023 LINCOLN AVIATOR! I did a lot (and I mean a lot) of research before ordering this luxury SUV. We are GM people and since 1999 have driven 2 Suburbans, 1 Yukon XL, and our latest...a 2015 Yukon XL Denali. I am a brand loyalist and did not really expect to move away from GM BUT on a trip to Boston a few years back the rental company gave us a Lincoln Nautilus and it was so much fun to drive. I saw the 2020 Aviator when it rolled out and thought it was striking. We don't get new vehicles often, and honestly with our active lives and 3 children (baseball, softball, and ALL the other activities) needed the full size SUV. On a trip to Colorado this past March I wanted to rent an Aviator but they did not have one available, so I asked for a Range Rover. I enjoyed driving the Range Rover and considered it for our next purchase, but I just kept coming back to the Aviator. Then my brother bought a BMW X5 and I drove it and enjoyed riding around with him in it.....but I kept coming back to the Aviator. I wanted to buy and experience American luxury! Finally, I test drove the only Aviator on the lot at Planet Lincoln in Spring, TX and I was blown away. The acceleration, the handling, the interior, the Revel stereo system....all of it was awesome and I was sold on it. I pre-ordered a 2023 before I left. That was May 26th and a mere 3 months later, my custom-built black 2023 Lincoln Aviator Black Label AWD, chalet interior with all the bells and whistles came! We picked it up Saturday, August 27th and had the best experience. The drive home (about 2 hours) was so much fun!! It handles so well and feels so responsive and comfortable, and the massaging seats felt sooooo good. LOVE the lighting, both interior and exterior and the way the Lincoln bows and greets with the "light show" you when you walk up to it! The lighted Lincoln badge in the front is such a nice touch and the adaptive lighting when you are turning curves was really bright! The 28 speaker Revel speaker system makes you feel like you are in the front row of a concert and the little demonstration that is available in the "Sound" app on the infotainment system blew us away! The kids keep commenting on the huge sunroof and how sporty the car is. They love the big console in the back and how they can control the music. Also neat how the second and third rows have their own separate AC/heating controls. My father-in-law even liked it, and he is a GM man only who said we would regret buying a Lincoln/Ford product. I am hopeful that all of the kinks from the initial release of the 2020 model have been worked out. I know the Navigator has been a dependable vehicle over the years and I would expect nothing less on the 4th year edition of the Aviator. I'm so happy that Lincoln has such a beautiful automobile in their lineup. We could have bought anything, including a Cadillac Escalade, but for us the Lincoln Aviator checked all the boxes!

Just got the same 2023 Black Label combination Friday. I went in and was honest what I thought a 2023 was worth today and it worked out. $10k under msrp on $82,225 so I thought they could get there. The discount did include the factory $1k rebate and %2.9 interest for 48 months. I know it’s a model year and a half old but I can live with the deal I struck up. A dealer in MD was $12k under msrp and one in GA was $11k under but too far. My local WI dealers laughed at my offer so the dealer in MN was where I had to drive.

I love my 2022 aviator. it's the definition of real luxury. quiet and smooth drive with zero highway noise. Very classy and neck turning!

I love my Aviator, mine is white, so the black accents look even more amazing with also black interior .. love my white!!

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator does have wireless charging inside the console. There is a clip looking feature. That's it. The bigger issue I don't like is the lack of front passenger seat memory buttons. With all that adjustability they put in, the passenger is SOL if someone changes their prior time consuming configuration.

Love my Burgundy 2011 MKX but do love the nice bluish color available in the Aviator. Since when did the Black Label become available in Canada? Guess enough folks asked for it? Another vehicle in the segment would be the Genesis GV8. Hard to update to another ICE vehicle however. Even more difficult when I an into my 80th year and only 109K KM on the MKX which is a car I love.

I’ve been waiting to see a jet package aviator on KZread! Looks amazing!

Sir, as a FORD owner, the way you get around those handles is with your key fob. An owner, like myself, most of the time, I unlock my car with my key fob. Then when I go to open my car, in the next second or two, the door unlatches and an opens simultaneously.

Hey there- Great job on the video! I purchased the Aviator Grand Touring Black Label (plug-in hybrid). I love it! Like a few people and yourself mentioned, there are a few flaws, but I'd say overall it's closer to an A++then an A, or lower. (Mid 9's out of 10, 95 to 100 out of 100, etc etc) I won't reiterate all of the positive aspects you thoroughly covered in the video, but I definitely concur with you on both the positive and negative features. The "kneel down" welcoming suspension is an underrated feature I feel. Also, with the plug-in hybrid there is an incredible jump in efficiency. Of course the range isn't very far when it's switched to full electric mode, but when it is switched to conserve (full hybrid mode) the MPG improves from what you would expect for a Mid size SUV, to the MPG of something similar to a small economy car. I could go on about every detail, but it is not necessary thanks to the video. The one minor thing to point out is that there's a wireless charging area in the front center counsel. Personally I think it could be in a better location, but it does exist. Any chance you can review the Lincoln Zephyr (only sold in Asia as of now). And if so, is there a Zephyr Black Label? Thanks and keep the videos coming!

I love that paint color and black rims!!!!!

the aviator does have wireless charging in the center console storage bin

Just purchased my 2022 Black Label and in love with it! FYI it does have wireless charging. It's in the center console armrest on the side

This is a sharp looking SUV. Not our grandparents Lincoln.

Awesome video, hope the 2023 model has the bigger and updated infotainment scree running sync 4 also needs fords hands free active glide

Great video!

The wireless charger is located in the front center storage area towards the driver side, just slip the phone snd it charges. Btw with fuel prices now a days is excellent with standard driving mode went from north dade to the keys back and forth only spent 1/2 tank.. A+++for that

Just wanted to point out that it has wireless charging. The location is inside the center console box, below the armrest.

It would be great if you could throw a review of the Corsair Grand Touring (PHEV), really interested on hearing your thoughts on it since we are seriously considering but we're on the fence between that and an EV or the Sportage/Sorento PHEV

What is the best suv you have tested

I like all Lincoln products!! I can buy it bro.

I actually own a Q7 but I'm going to get an Aviator. As a 38 year old I actually like the Burgundy color though most of my vehicles are white .

DP - I was looking at either the GLE, X5, Q8, Range, XC90, YukonDenali, and Navigator...ended up with an Aviator after going for a test drive in a Navigator (not old, mid 30's). Hindsight, the Denali, Range, and GLE would have better due to resale value in the current markets. Lincoln could improve on the sound damping, but compared to the GLE, X5 and Q8 the interior feels more spacious and seats are comfy. Cargo space is amazing as well. As someone mentioned already, I find it odd how the passenger seat doesn't have memory buttons. The cargo cover doesn't have mounts for when the 3rd row are folded. At high speeds, the built in spray/windshield wipers drip over the drivers window=residue. The console compartment doesn't offer additional charging ports requiring the passenger to utilize the rear seat console plugs. The "ambient" lights are a joke.
