Lincoln's second-most popular three-row SUV is intelligently designed to provide Dayton families with comfort and convenience. But how does the new Lincoln Aviator fare against the competition? Before unlocking a new Lincoln Aviator in Vandalia, OH, at Beau Townsend Lincoln of Dayton, learn what makes Lincoln's SUV the superior ride over other premium mid-size crossovers with three rows of seating.
Lincoln Aviator vs. the Competition
Pricing
The new Lincoln Aviator competes with other well-known luxury SUVs like the Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, and Lexus RX. The Lincoln Aviator's base model has a near identical starting price to competing SUVs from Volvo and Lexus, while being priced nearly $6,000 under the Audi Q7. The new Lincoln Aviator is more affordable than Troy luxury SUV shoppers may think.
Interior
Like other mid-size luxury SUVs in its class, the Lincoln Aviator offers configurations for six and seven passengers, thanks to a pair of second-row captain's chairs.
With 18.3 to 77.7 cubic feet of cargo space, the new Lincoln Aviator gives Greenville, OH families more room to work with on trips to Dayton, Cincinnati, or other destinations beyond the Ohio River Valley. The Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90 both provide less than 70 cubic feet, and the three-row Lexus RX can't reach 60 cubic feet of cargo space.
Upscale amenities are similar, but these other luxury SUVs can't match the comfort that the Lincoln Aviator provides Dayton drivers with 30-way power-adjustable front massaging seats. These other SUVs can't top the Lincoln Aviator's 10.1-inch infotainment screen and 12.3-inch digital driver information display, leading to more engaging rides between Dayton and Cincinnati.
Performance
Each luxury SUV in this class offers a plug-in hybrid option, but the Lincoln Aviator is the most powerful of the quartet while providing Vandalia, OH drivers with 21 miles of all-electric range.
The Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring (PHEV) combines a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine with an electric motor to produce 494 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. The Audi Q7 maxes out at Q7 335 ponies and 369 pound-feet of torque. The twin-turbo V6 engine that powers most Lincoln Aviator models produces 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque.
The Lincoln Aviator earns up to 26 highway miles per gallon on I-75 between Cincinnati and Dayton, topping the Audi Q7's 25 miles per gallon.
