Great appearances and power just get you so far– the Aviator still has some unfortunate holdovers from the old Lincoln. Some of the buttons and dials feel cheap, theres too much hard plastic in the cabin, and at $75,660 as evaluated, the Aviator is close in price to other glamorous three-rows that are– lets face it– better general.
Rivals
For a brand name thats been mostly rudderless for numerous decades, the Lincoln Aviator– and in part, the larger Navigator– both mark a recover for Fords high-end brand. The current Lincoln SUVs are good-looking, great to drive, and filled with security and technology. The Aviator, with segment-best style and an addictive powertrain, makes a strong case in a class ripe with great alternatives from developed brands like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz.
