Lincoln Aviator
The 2025 Lincoln Aviator gives families like yours a premium driving experience with its three-row seating, robust engine, and luxury features. This second-generation Aviator is packed with modern features, including the latest tech and creature comforts.
Seating Capacity
This model fits up to seven passengers. The second-row seats have plenty of legroom for adult passengers at 40.1 inches, and with 29.2 inches, the slightly smaller third-row seats are perfect for kids. Overall, this vehicle has 140.6 cubic feet of passenger volume, providing a comfortable and airy interior.
Performance and Powertrain Options
The Lincoln Aviator is brisk and responsive thanks to its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine, which delivers 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive complement the powerful engine, and the standard suspension balances comfort and handling, keeping with Lincoln's impressive reputation.
Luxury Interior Features
The Aviator's upscale cabin redefines comfort. The Bridge of Weir leather upholstery, genuine wood trim, and temperature-controlled Perfect Position seating create a luxurious and comfortable interior that you can customize to fit your preferences. Across the board, the Aviator's interior exudes sophistication.
Cargo Space and Flexibility of Third-Row Seating
The new Aviator offers 18.3 cubic feet of space behind the third row, 41.8 cubic feet behind the second, and up to 77.7 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. You can rest assured that your groceries, suitcases, and home DIY supplies will easily fit into the Aviator.
Available Trims and Customization Options
The Aviator comes in several distinct trims.
- The Premier trim includes a standard V-6 engine, synthetic leather, and the SYNC 4 infotainment system with a 10.1-inch touch screen.
- The Reserve trim adds premium leather upholstery, a panoramic Vista Roof, a Revel Audio system, and additional driver-assistance features.
- At the top of the range, the Black Label trim includes 30-way power-adjustable massaging front seats, VIP maintenance services, and concierge services.
You can also custom-build your own SUV to perfectly fit your lifestyle.
Lincoln Navigator
The Lincoln Navigator is a full-size luxury SUV that towers over its competitors. This three-row luxury SUV is perfect for family trips, and its spacious cabin integrates the latest technology.
Seating for up to Eight Passengers
The Navigator can accommodate up to eight passengers comfortably. Unlike most three-row SUVs, the Navigator's third-row seats provide ample legroom and plush cushioning, making it suitable for adults. Front-row occupants enjoy a generous 43.9 inches of legroom, second-row passengers have 41.1 inches, and the third row gets 36.1 inches — more than what most competitors offer.
Powerful Twin-Turbocharged V-6 Engine
The Lincoln Navigator packs a punch with its 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine that delivers 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque. Its acceleration is seamless, and its 10-speed automatic transmission makes it incredibly responsive.
Cutting-Edge Technology
The Lincoln Navigator also boasts impressive high-tech features. You'll appreciate Lincoln's Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assistance technologies, including blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. Wireless phone charging, a 5G Wi-Fi hot spot, and an impressive 28-speaker Revel Ultima audio system make the Navigator a tech-savvy luxury SUV.
Extended-Length Option for Even More Cargo Space
With the Navigator, cargo space is the least of your worries. The standard model offers a maximum storage capacity of 107 cubic feet — 21.6 cubic feet behind the third row and 69.9 cubic feet behind the second row with the third row folded. The Navigator L trim gives you even more space with 121.6 cubic feet of storage.
