Seeing one in person for the first time tonight was one of the first times in a while I've been truly wowed by a new car. This thing has a real presence to it. Even just from the exterior, there's an obvious amount of attention to detail. Seriously gorgeous luxury car Americans should be proud of.

this is a GREAT APOLOGY for the 1st gen aviator ... Well done

This is a much better looking Aviator than the original from the last decade.

He still does the car show good I've liked him since I was a kid

It's not really a fair assessment to say its a Lincoln version of the Explorer. The old Aviator that was the case as it shared a lot of exterior components. The new Aviator shares a platform, but interior and exterior are completely different. It's like saying a Bentaya is Bentleys version of the Toureg.

I love my black label aviator. Hands down one of the best cars I bought.

Not a fan of suv, but this one looks really awesome.

Wow, 494 horsepower and 630 ft lbs of torque is pretty impressive. I thought the original 450 horsepower they were claiming at first was good.

The most Stunning SUV of all time

best Lincoln model in years

Me: Walks into dealership. Salesman: "How are you? What brings you in today?" Me: "Aye yo,let me get that new Aviator "combo platter" please". "Throw some of that grand touring flava on it too."

It's crazy just how good it looks...put a Range Rover badge on it and who would know the difference?....other us ,of course.

I was surprised when I saw one in person. It’s the same size as a QX90 and Q7 it always looked smaller in picture and video. Interior quality is also similar to that of both of them.

Between this and the 2021 Yukon Denali American SUVs are finally becoming an excellent option again.

Frankly the rub is that it looks like a Range Rover Sport and will likely be more reliable.

Great looking car!

That's a lot of torque.

This thing is simply gorgeous.

Don’t buy a first year model of anything

First Aviatar Lincoln had tanked in sales so we'll see how this new Aviatar will work out.

What’s up with suit jacket with shorts?

New Lincoln's are beautiful machines, their interiors look gorgeous but I've read a few articles and seen on KZread some tests that show interior quality as not good enough. They look as good as a Range Rover but the image just isn't the same and I still think small capacity turbo engines won't last and are usually far less actually economical than a larger V8. They should do a diesel.

I want what Mr John Davis is taking, the guy doesn't seem to age at all. LoL 😁

Idk man 80-90k for a fully loaded one... Might as well just get the navigator for that price. This really only makes sense in lower trim specs under 75k, but those lack a lot of the goodies that make the aviator so appealing in the first place.

(regular) & 119 ft. (hybrid). The regular model weighs 5,167 lbs. (can tow 6,700 lbs. ) & the hybrid is quite a bit heavier at 5,838 lbs. (can tow 5,600 lbs.).

As a loyal Motorweek fan for decades, this was not a road test; maybe an extended first drive. No track time/results, no "while we had it" mpg info. More perspective than others provided, not much new info. Maybe because Lincoln is slow rolling units out for extended review?

Jacob Nyambu hard to say, a fully loaded one is like 80k, at that price you can get the navigator. If youre okay getting a lower trim level with less bells and whistles you could come in around 65k, thats decent value for money and undercuts a lot of its german competitors. The options for this are just very tempting and I think contribute to a lot of the aviators appeal in the first place. And they force-package a lot of the options together so for example air suspension might be $2500, but to get that you need the reserve II package which is another $5000 and comes with stuff you might not want. Same thing if you just want to add a pano sunroof or larger wheels or their perfect position seats... Wish individual options existed bc this thing gets very expensive very quickly.

If you haven't already read the article done by the Detroit Free Press, I strongly suggest you do. It is shocking how bad Ford has botched the launch for both the Explorer and Aviator.

This is a Range Rover! American style. This standard Aviator has the same engine as the Ford St. So why don't they make as much of a fuss? If it's fast, say it!

So basically this is the explorers boujee cousin while the explorer is the aviators cousin from the hood

That "look" is functional. Initiated and hated at Mercedes Benz first, it allows a driver to avoid dropping the eyes to see the screen. It also allows the dash to be design friendly eliminating the need to factor in a screen. Lastly allows the screen size to continue to grow in diameter. Actually the opposite of your statement is true. It is very thought out.

Jaime Acosta I suppose. Cars, on average, are made of 30,000 to 40,000 individual parts and in 2016 alone there were about 72 million passenger cars produced worldwide . When you have that many cars with that many parts, it's almost a statistical certainty a manufacturer is going to have some defects somewhere. Recalls are the mechanisms manufacturers use to remedy those manufacturing defects.
