Luxury that fits your daily routine
The Aviator is a midsize, three-row luxury SUV designed to feel serene whether you are navigating downtown Bakersfield or cruising west toward the coast. Clean exterior lines and the available Jet Appearance Package help it stand out at the office or The Marketplace at River Walk, while the cabin focuses on quiet, tailored comfort. Available Perfect Position front seats with heating, ventilation, and massage can help you arrive refreshed even after a long evening commute home from downtown. Inside, high-end materials and thoughtful details create the kind of environment you’ll actually look forward to spending time in.
With three rows of seating, the Aviator is ready for everything from kids’ activities in Rosedale to airport runs for visiting family. Second-row captain’s chairs or a bench give you flexibility, while the power-folding third row and generous cargo area make it easy to load strollers, sports gear, or luggage. If you want a deeper look at how Aviator dimensions stack up, the Lincoln Aviator length guide breaks down key measurements across model years.
Confident power for Central Valley drives
Every new Aviator is built around a twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 that produces a robust 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission. That means easy passing on 99, brisk on-ramps, and relaxed cruising even with a full crew on board. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, while available all-wheel drive adds confidence when you head into the mountains or encounter wet winter weather. If you’re curious about how weight and balance contribute to that composed feel, Jim Burke Lincoln’s Aviator curb-weight overview explains how different configurations compare.
Lincoln’s advanced suspension technologies play a big role in comfort, too. Systems highlighted in the dealership’s adaptive suspension explainer are designed to smooth out patched pavement around town while still keeping the SUV composed on higher-speed stretches. Paired with available Lincoln Co-Pilot360 driver-assist features—explored in their article about taming Highway 99 traffic—the Aviator feels like a partner on the road, not just a vehicle.
Modern technology that stays out of your way
The latest Aviator models introduce the Lincoln Digital Experience, which integrates Google apps and services directly into the SUV’s interface. That means navigation that can help you find a new lunch spot in Westchester, traffic-aware routing to Mechanics Bank Arena, and voice controls that let you adjust key settings without taking your hands off the wheel.
Available Lincoln BlueCruise hands-free driving technology can add an extra layer of ease on long Central Valley trips, while features like the 360-degree camera and head-up display make day-to-day maneuvering and awareness simpler. If you want to dive deeper into connectivity, screens, and safety tech, Jim Burke Lincoln’s Aviator tech features overview is a helpful resource that lives right on the same site as your inventory search.
Efficiency and ownership details
Midsize luxury SUVs are expected to balance power with reasonable fuel economy, and the Aviator delivers. According to the dealership’s Aviator gas-mileage guide, recent gas models with the 3.0L V6 are rated up to an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway in rear-wheel-drive form, with similar numbers across several model years. Shoppers considering lightly used Grand Touring plug-in hybrid models can also review that page to see how electric range and MPGe figures compare.
For drivers eyeing electrification, Jim Burke Lincoln maintains a hub dedicated to Lincoln hybrid and electric vehicles plus a focused Lincoln hybrid inventory. That makes it easy to see how an Aviator with a plug-in hybrid powertrain from recent model years fits alongside Corsair and Nautilus options in the lineup.
Where the Aviator fits in the Lincoln SUV family
Within Lincoln’s lineup, the Aviator slots between the two-row Nautilus and the full-size Navigator, giving Bakersfield families a “just right” size that is easier to park than a big SUV but more spacious than many midsize crossovers. Jim Burke Lincoln breaks down the big picture in their Lincoln SUVs by size guide and offers multiple comparison articles—such as Aviator vs. Nautilus and Aviator vs. Navigator—to help you find the right fit for your household.
Trims
Recent Aviator model years give you a clear, well-organized trim walk. As outlined in the Lincoln Aviator trim-levels guide, the 2025 and 2026 Aviator are built around three core trims: Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label. Every trim carries the 3.0L twin-turbo V6, so you get strong performance whether you choose a well-equipped Premiere or a range-topping Black Label.
The Aviator Premiere focuses on value-packed luxury with the latest digital interface and core driver-assist features, making it a smart choice if you want Lincoln refinement without overloading on extras. Step up to the Aviator Reserve and you’ll find additional comfort and technology upgrades that suit drivers who spend long hours on the road between Bakersfield, Delano, and the rest of the Central Valley. The Aviator Black Label sits at the top with exclusive themes, premium materials, and concierge-style ownership benefits. Shoppers comparing multiple trims can always circle back to this Aviator inventory page to see which specific vehicles match their wish list.
If you’re considering a pre-owned Aviator, that same trim-level resource also covers earlier Standard, Grand Touring, and Black Label Grand Touring models, including plug-in hybrid options. Pair it with the dedicated pages on Aviator towing capacity and oil type and capacity to build a full picture of how an Aviator will fit your lifestyle, maintenance plan, and weekend adventures.
