New 2026 Lincoln Aviator Premiere

The Lincoln Aviator is powered by a 3.0L V6 engine fed by twin-turbochargers, producing 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission with an optional all-wheel drive system. The Aviator is not lacking in power, with strong acceleration relative to most of its competition. The Aviator comes in three basic trims: Premiere, Reserve and Black Label. In addition, a Special Edition Black Label optional package is also available, and a Livery trim is reserved as a fleet only. Premium midsize three-row SUVs make for a crowded class but like all Lincoln products the Aviator is first and foremost a luxury vehicle offering a supple ride, low interior noise levels, an expansive interior, and powerful engine. It competes with other midsize SUVs such as the Volvo XC90, Acura MDX, and Audi Q7.
