Overview

Like all Lincoln products, the Aviator is first and foremost a luxury vehicle, offering a supple ride, low interior noise levels and an expansive interior. It competes with vehicles such as the Lexus RX, the BMW X5 and the Audi Q7. Relative to those vehicles, the Aviator offers a more spacious feeling cabin than the Q7 while costing significantly less than the BMW. The Lexus on the other hand is a relatively old design and is lacking some of the cutting-edge features available in the other cars. Speaking of features, Lincoln is banking heavily on smartphone integration for their new Aviator. The designers envision a world where the function of a key is largely taken over by a thing most drivers already carry around in their pockets or their purse: a phone. Get the Aviator app and up to four people can operate the vehicle without a key while saving preferences such as seating position and infotainment presets.
