It features the option for 6 or 7 seats, interior active noise cancellation and an available air suspension system. You'll find a 3.0L turbocharged engine standard with the option for the same 3.0L with a nano electric motor in the Grand Touring versions of the vehicle.

Just bought a 2023 today. I’m impressed with the quality and detail. 400hp is what really sold me as well. It’s impressive hp in this class suv. The interior is much nicer than the Chevy or dodge compatible suv. Like anything in life people will defend brand loyalty. I did look at the suvs in this segment and price range which is why I chose the Aviator. Hopefully it will be a good choice. But since I have owned well over 100 cars in my life, I am very aware that there is good and bad builds in all auto makers.

The style of the Aviator is stunningly proportionate. Beautiful lines indeed.

[nancyross]

I own a MKc reserve and love it. Watching video while hubby drives and most everything you showed I have and LOVE it! Hoping to step up the Aviator next. Your video was great! Thx

Lincoln is like the only luxury brand that combines old school luxury with new school luxury so seamlessly

[DavidToppMelanieScot]

Well Certainly the best car review video I've seen - possibly ever. Two thumbs up.

Great review! Very easy to watch. Audio quality is excellent and I enjoyed the wide angle shot for the test drive.

If you’re ever looking for a niche in the space, consider nighttime reviews and/or POV drives. It seems like an underserved area in my experience.

Thanks for responding, yes by having button area from your reach it will become inconvenience of every time you park u will need to reach to button of the reverse and drive, what would happen if the buttons ware out, or if also want to perform An U-turn or half u-turn u will have to reach out instead of looking out for any on coming traffic . It’s more safe to have our hand on the gear shift while performing these tasks with out compromising our vision and go by our feeling of changing the gears at same times . Maybe it me, Sorry it’s really nice SUV

Add on- also those with short arms that has disability, Elderly Driver that might have back problem but still can drive .

You always do an awesome job at explaining the use of things in the aviator

[greg]

My favorite adjective is fantastic too. Very thorough review.

[jackmac]

New subscriber, excellent presentation. Not rushed and easy to follow

[MrsHandyRU]

Your video helped me so much! I am likely buying an Aviator soon. Possibly the Black Label Grand Touring.

The nice thing about the Ebony/Roast interior is the dark headliner. I don't really like a light colored headliner.

[whatsupwithsteve]

We've had our '21 for over 2 years now and generally love it. Sadly though at only 10k miles we had to have the entire transmission replaced. Under warranty of course but not confidence inspiring. Also the seat bottoms get rock hard after an hour or so. Didn't notice that in the Navigator, perhaps it's because of the seat width? Oh and don't forget to mention that faux "massage" is simply a few air bags that inflate and deflate to simulate some sort of massage but only on the seat bottom and lower back. To say it is uninspiring would be a complement. Aside from that though a very nice car, quiet, great performance and handling and an incredible sound system!

[harpreetthind]

Love, Lincoln vehicles love the Ford sync system

[harpreetthind]

So very similar to BC AAA, the roadside assistance feature for these kind of vehicles

[Sloba]

I like design of this suv, there is so many very nice midsize and large SUVs, Land Rover, Germany, Lexus, Acura, Tahoe RST….
would be very hard to pick one for long term vehicle

[flandrescarlet]

The screen is small. Gonna wait until they put on the newer system. In China, I believe they already have the sync 4 on the aviator.

[RandyPena-kd]

Нереально крутой занос получился))) Спасибо тебе за эти офигенные победы)

Great review Steve. I currently own a Telluride night edition, 2022 model. Fantastic car, looks great, so functional and everything works well. I am looking though, for what's out there worth considering as the next step up. Luxury, power, good looking (sporty), min 7 seater. Aviator does seem to tick the boxes. Though I find the limitation on not being able to slide back the middle bench a snag. My Telly allows for this option and it's amazing the amount of space created when dropping that 3rd row. Also thinking of EV or hybrid if viable. What's the aviator grand touring hybrid like? How many miles can it drive in pure electric? When in hybrid mode what's the max speed to remain in electric both on highways and in-city driving? Any other cars you recommend? I'm waiting on Lucid Gravity too.
