Enjoy Your Flight Aboard the Lincoln Aviator



What gas mileage does the Lincoln Aviator get?

The Lincoln Aviator earns an EPA-estimated 17 city/25 highway MPG with rear-wheel drive, or an EPA-estimated 17 city/24 highway MPG with all-wheel drive.** With a 20.2-gallon fuel tank, that translates to traveling up to approximately 500 miles before your next fill-up.

Swift as a Jet

The Lincoln Aviator's 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine is always ready for departure. It produces 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, instilling fighter-jet sprinting power into this SUV. You'll win every dogfight against the competition.

Take your seat in the cockpit, and you'll be ready to pilot any journey. The 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission with paddle activation will help you masterfully handle the engine's brute strength and g-forces.

A Shapeshifting SUV

Rear-wheel drive comes standard on this Lincoln SUV; however, the Lincoln Aviator can also come equipped with available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, an advanced drivetrain that uses sensors to monitor driving conditions. When needed, the system can distribute power between the front and rear axles to offer more confidence on low-friction surfaces.

With the available Dynamic Handling Package, you gain the Air Glide Suspension with Dynamic Lower Entry, which turns the Lincoln Aviator into a chameleon. Okay, not physically; however, this feature's air bladders can inflate and deflate as quickly as a chameleon can change colors. The result? A softened ride that feels like you're floating on a cloud.

The Air Glide Suspension works in tandem with Lincoln Drive modes. With a turn of the dial in the center console, you can shift into a mode that matches your mood or the road conditions ahead.

How much passenger room does the Lincoln Aviator offer?

The Lincoln Aviator seats up to seven across three rows, with adult-friendly 40.2 inches of headroom and 43 inches of legroom in the first row and 38.4 inches of headroom and 39 inches of legroom in the second row. The third row is best suited for kids or shorter trips, making it a flexible option for growing families.

Cruiser Couture

Did you ever think you'd be welcomed by your car? The Lincoln Aviator's standard Lincoln Embrace feature rolls out the red carpet when your key fob or connected smartphone is within range. The Lincoln Aviator will begin a dazzling welcome light show in the front, rear, and interior as you approach. The Air Glide Suspension with Dynamic Lower Entry will lower, helping you to board your landcraft with ease.

The welcome wagon includes refined touches like optional rich leather upholstery and other premium materials. A minimalist cockpit adds to the airy space, perfect for frequent flyers and the whole family.

What would a plane be without a cargo hold? The Lincoln Aviator provides ample space for your luggage and essentials.

Lincoln Aviator Cargo Dimensions
Cargo Capacity Behind First Row 75.9 cubic feet
Cargo Capacity Behind Second Row 39.9 cubic feet
