The all-new 2020 Lincoln Aviator is a three-row SUV that fits in the Lincoln lineup just above the two-row midsize Nautilus and beneath the larger Navigator.

It is designed to compete with the Mercedes-Benz GLE, Volvo XC90, Audi Q7, and the BMW X5. It shares its underpinnings with the new rear-drive Ford Explorer and comes in five trim levels, including the Standard, Reserve, Black Label, Grand Touring, and Grand Touring Black Label.

Inside the three-row Lincoln Aviator features a 30-way adjustable driver and front passenger seats, including various massage functions. Also included is a 28-speaker audio system, electronic doors, 10-inch touchscreen-operated Sync 3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Powering all Aviator models is the Twin-Turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine that generates 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque.

The Aviator Grand Touring uses a battery-powered electric motor that is paired with the standard Twin-Turbocharged engine to produce more than 494 horsepower and 630 lb.-ft. of torque.
