There is a new 13.2-inch tablet entertainment system. A member of the second wave of Aviators, which came out in 2020. The 2025 Lincoln Aviator, an American luxury brand’s midsize three-row SUV, will replace the full-size Navigator. The Aviator can fit up to seven people and is a great choice for driving on the highway. It has a comfortable ride and a powerful turbocharged V6 engine. In 2025, the Aviator will get a midcycle update that will bring better technology and a fresh look. There are many good things about the updated 2025 Lincoln Aviator. First and foremost, the style has been greatly improved, but it still has some recognizable Lincoln features. You can also use a new 13.2-inch touchscreen to run the entertainment system. The system lets you join your phone wirelessly using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It also has built-in navigation based on Google Maps and voice assistants like Alexa and Google. The following big improvement is the Co-Pilot360 2.1 set of high-tech driving aids, which makes a number of active safety features more uniform. With Lincoln BlueCruise, you can also drive without using your hands. In the market for high-end compact SUVs with three rows of seats, the Aviator has a lot of rivals. It goes up against the Acura MDX, the Audi Q7, the Cadillac XT6, the Volvo XC90, and the Land Rover Discovery. The Genesis GV80 and the BMW X5 are two midsize cars that can have third rows of seats. Because its springs aren’t as stiff, the Aviator won’t feel as exciting as the MDX, Q7, X5, or GV80. The Aviator’s performance in a number of different areas is broken down in depth in the Expert Rating below, which was given by our test team. Pros vs Cons Pros Beautiful style inside and out. Rapid speeding up. A lot of complicated parts. Cons We need to improve at using fuel in real life. I need help seeing in the front and back. The space above your head is a little small. Drivers lose trust when the car is handled too gently. Performance What about the way the Aviator is driven? They move quickly in a straight line. It takes a little while for the Aviator to really get going after you ask for power. Invoice Pricing tried our Aviator Black Label with all-wheel drive, and it took it less than 5.9 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph. It’s not easy to steer or brake. The brake pedal is so soft that it’s hard to control easily. The Aviator is also not stable, and it looks big and heavy when going around corners. Another problem with the transmission is that it is hard to use and takes a long time to switch between forward and backward. All of these problems make driving the Aviator less fun than we thought it would be. Comfort How much comfort does the Aviator offer? The Aviator looks a lot like older Lincoln cars. It’s very big, heavy, and soft. There may still be some body movement, but bumps aren’t a big deal. The wind and cars don’t make much noise, so you can talk quietly in the cabin if you want to. Really comfy seats once you know how to change them. On the other hand, the seat isn’t very big, so the hard frame might feel like it’s pressing against your hips. The climate control system does a good job of keeping the car at the right temperature, but the heating and cooling of the seats could be better. Interior How is the interior? The third seat is mostly for kids because there isn’t much room for adults. If you get the extra sunroof for your Aviator, the headroom is a little less, but the second row is better and has enough legroom. Tall adults may have trouble fitting their heads in the front seats. Another area for improvement is being seen. You can’t see as well on the road because the back window and windshield are so small. The cabin is also surrounded by different types of objects that can reflect light and cause glare. You might have to take your eyes off the road to push the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel and the gearbox change buttons, but the controls are usually easy to use. Technology How does the tech work? The infotainment screen is easy to use for everyone, even if you need to improve with technology. It has big text and fake buttons. However, it doesn’t have some of the coolest new features and isn’t as advanced as some of its rivals. In the first two rows, there are different ways to connect gadgets and integrate them. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are both standard, but if you use one of them, you won’t be able to use basic voice controls, and it will be annoying to change radio stations or change the settings on your car. The Aviator’s driving aid works well. One useful technique that isn’t immediately clear is “holding the lane and centering.” That’s when adaptive cruise control really shines. However, if you configure it to closely follow the car in front of you, it will brake very hard. Storage How are things with the storage? When it comes to storage space below the third row, the Aviator is better than its competitors. The space behind the second seat is about average, and many rivals offer more space for cargo. The test Aviator had an optional air suspension that could be used to lower the ride height and make it easier to load goods. If you want to pull something, the Aviator can handle up to 6,700 pounds. It also helps that the V6 engine is strong. Even though the center console box is small, there are some good places to store things in each of the three rows of seats. The small-item storage is fine, though not the best in its class. The second-row seat in the Aviator is big enough to fit big safety seats that face backward for family cabs. The car seat pins are easily accessible. Fuel Economy How much fuel does it use? The EPA says that the all-wheel-drive Aviator gets 20 mpg (17 city/24 highway), and the rear-wheel-drive version gets 21 mpg (18 city/26 highway). The class can use these numbers. However, we only got 18 mpg from our biggest tank while we had the Aviator, and we got less than 16 mpg on average. Value Should you pay the price for the Aviator? Lincoln has come a long way in terms of quality, style, and substance. The Aviator exudes luxury both inside and out, with careful consideration given to ensuring a distinct experience for passengers in both the front and back rows. The Aviator stands out in more ways than just its tacky metal and piano black accents. We’re still determining the Aviator’s worth at the top trim level. Our Black Label test car, which cost $84,000, felt very pricey. It’s cheaper to stay in the Reserve, but the interior could be more casual. Wildcard We like how the Aviator looks different from other cars. On the other hand, it makes us think of older Lincolns. This car works best when driven straight ahead because it feels less calm and sure on winding roads than its European competitors. Aren’t you interested? After that, you’ll be glad to see Lincoln grow a unique, rich personality. What is Invoice Pricing's Recommendation? The base Premiere trim is the best deal for 2025 because it comes with so many extras. Thanks to the 13.2-inch tablet that runs Google Maps and BlueCruise hands-free adaptive cruise control, you won’t miss out on many of the high-tech features found in the Reserve and Black Label. The Premiere II model is a great choice if you want a little more comfort. It has a 14-speaker sound system and a better head-up display. 2025 Lincoln Aviator Video Review
