Our first drive of the 2025 Lincoln Aviator where we analyze the three-row crossover's first big refresh.
WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. ? The Lincoln Aviator was a real tentpole, flag-in-the-ground moment for Lincoln five years ago. Built on a completely new rear-drive-based platform that was actually tweaked for Lincoln?s use, it drove like a top-tier luxury SUV and looked the part. Although it could?ve been pitched as a value proposition, it was also a fully competitive answer to three-row luxury SUVs like the Acura MDX, Volvo XC90 or Audi Q7 based on merit alone.
That said, this also means it remains unexciting on a winding road. The BMW X7 and MDX are far more engaging to drive when the road starts meandering, so don?t think of the Aviator as a dual-threat for ride and handling capabilities. On the plus side, all efforts are seemingly devoted to the Aviator keeping its occupants happy and relaxed. Its V6 rarely intrudes upon the cabin?s serenity and only makes its presence known when you mat it to enjoy the 400 horses it has on offer.
