Better than Jeep Grand Cherokee L? 2022 Lincoln Aviator Reserve I AWD
Lincoln is in the midst of a renaissance. While Continentals of the past once stood as a status symbol in garages across America, the new breed of SUV-hungry consumers demand something different from their luxury vehicles than what made the brand such an icon in the past.
Enter the Lincoln Aviator. This three-row luxury SUV is based off the popular Ford Explorer, but in this Reserve trim is so nice many would be hard-pressed to see the similarities. From the sleek, jet-plane exterior styling to the 30-way positional front seats, Lincoln has really made this Aviator their own.
What speaks even bigger volumes to us is the fact that this Reserve AWD is not even the top trim in the lineup, they get even nicer than this! In our week of testing, we were never really wanting for more of anything, this Aviator really delivered on all fronts.

I just bought a 2022 Black Edition with 12,000 miles on it. I am waiting for it to be delivered and I am so excited I am getting anxious. They said by the end of the week, so I am hoping it's tomorrow. I can't wait to hear the 28 speaker sound system in that thing. Actually I can't wait to just get the damn vehicle.

Hi!Do you still have it?How would you review after 8 months?
As the owner of an Aviator equipped very much like your test vehicle, I enjoyed watching your review and agree with most of your comments. The one thing I do not find valid is your dislike of the ride with the 22" wheels. I find very little noise or jarring from expansion strips on the highway. The other things I feel I should point out are that the engine is 3 liter not 3.5 and I don't think you mentioned the easily accessible voice command button located in the rim of the steering wheel. This allows control of multiple functions without having to search on the dashboard control panel. I really enjoy my Aviator and was glad to see that you seemed to as well. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for your insight. We always appreciate helpful commentary from owners as we only get a week (at best) with each tester. This one was doubled up with an Audi we were also testing while staying at my in-law’s while our AC was out mid-summer. Needless to say, I wasn’t on my “A Game”.
Bought a used 2020 CPO a few weeks ago. Missing the stick style shifter my explorer had. Piano keys forces me to take my eyes off road. Have the reserve but may get a used Black label later. Henry Ford would be proud!

Bravo, great review. We just picked up a 2023 in star white, we are very impressed. The interior is absolutely amazing, the only thing we dislike is the pushbutton door handles on the inside...And the Lincoln customer service is top-shelf, when we picked up the car it was like a red carpet event, and my wife was blown away.

Nice vehicle! I wish that Lincoln would put the PowerBoost Engine Option into the Lincoln Navigator. I can’t wait to see the next generation of the Navigator. I hope that it will be electrified in someway, or fashion. Only time will tell!

Lincoln could easily steal the Lightning powertrain. I wish they would. Makes more since in a Lincoln.
Great review - appreciate the comparisons to other competitors in the class. In the market for a new vehicle and agree with your review - the Reserve seems like the best value and option in the trim range.

Materials inside and fuel economy of the Jeep you mentioned will be better. Depends on what is important to you. The looks of this one (the black on black really did it for us) and the 30-way seats were big favorites of ours.

Better than a Jeep? Flavored toilet paper would be better than a Jeep. Are you kidding me? You have to know the EBT food stamp balance phone number by heart to appreciate anything made by Chrysler.
