They just killed the game hands down. This is something I would most definitely sport. Your review just made this SUV shine like the stars. Great job my friend, great job 👏
LOVE MY 2023 LINCOLN AVIATOR! I did a lot (and I mean a lot) of research before ordering this luxury SUV. We are GM people and since 1999 have driven 2 Suburbans, 1 Yukon XL, and our latest...a 2015 Yukon XL Denali. I am a brand loyalist and did not really expect to move away from GM BUT on a trip to Boston a few years back the rental company gave us a Lincoln Nautilus and it was so much fun to drive. I saw the 2020 Aviator when it rolled out and thought it was striking. We don't get new vehicles often, and honestly with our active lives and 3 children (baseball, softball, and ALL the other activities) needed the full size SUV. On a trip to Colorado this past March I wanted to rent an Aviator but they did not have one available, so I asked for a Range Rover. I enjoyed driving the Range Rover and considered it for our next purchase, but I just kept coming back to the Aviator. Then my brother bought a BMW X5 and I drove it and enjoyed riding around with him in it.....but I kept coming back to the Aviator. I wanted to buy and experience American luxury! Finally, I test drove the only Aviator on the lot at Planet Lincoln in Spring, TX and I was blown away. The acceleration, the handling, the interior, the Revel stereo system....all of it was awesome and I was sold on it. I pre-ordered a 2023 before I left. That was May 26th and a mere 3 months later, my custom-built black 2023 Lincoln Aviator Black Label AWD, chalet interior with all the bells and whistles came! We picked it up Saturday, August 27th and had the best experience. The drive home (about 2 hours) was so much fun!! It handles so well and feels so responsive and comfortable, and the massaging seats felt sooooo good. LOVE the lighting, both interior and exterior and the way the Lincoln bows and greets with the "light show" you when you walk up to it! The lighted Lincoln badge in the front is such a nice touch and the adaptive lighting when you are turning curves was really bright! The 28 speaker Revel speaker system makes you feel like you are in the front row of a concert and the little demonstration that is available in the "Sound" app on the infotainment system blew us away! The kids keep commenting on the huge sunroof and how sporty the car is. They love the big console in the back and how they can control the music. Also neat how the second and third rows have their own separate AC/heating controls. My father-in-law even liked it, and he is a GM man only who said we would regret buying a Lincoln/Ford product. I am hopeful that all of the kinks from the initial release of the 2020 model have been worked out. I know the Navigator has been a dependable vehicle over the years and I would expect nothing less on the 4th year edition of the Aviator. I'm so happy that Lincoln has such a beautiful automobile in their lineup. We could have bought anything, including a Cadillac Escalade, but for us the Lincoln Aviator checked all the boxes!
I wanted something “sportier” and really just prefer the looks of the Aviator over the Navigator. I do wish that the Aviator had the Activeglide (self driving) like the Navigator, but the 360 co-pilot is awesome too. You can take your hands off the wheel for a bit but it will tell you to put your hands back on the steering wheel. Still a great feature!
@@jasonduplichain100 Ahh I see. I agree the Aviator looks far more sleek, sportier, and sexier. I’d take it over the navigator too. I really dislike the rear taillights and chrome peace on the Navigator. But I do prefer the interior a little more with the updated screens and more room.
@@ayushmalpeddi2793, I agree...sleeker, sportier, sexier. Also, I'm glad on the Aviator that they have hidden the wind shield wiper on the back. Small detail, but just looks cleaner.
Thank you for this review. The Black Labels are top notch. However, I think the Aviator is good choice regardless of its class. This is the comment I was looking for. I've been eyeing luxury vehicles for the past 5 years...went from Infinity to Lincoln, and then Lincoln to Lexus.
We have the 2020 Aviator Reserve II with all the options and Captains in the second row. All black. Purchased Nov 2019. Didn't buy it from a Black Label dealer so we didn't have that trim choice. It's a Sept build so it didn't come with all the issues that the earlier builds did except for the rear lift gate motors..which were replaced under warranty. We negotiated the list from 76k and change down to 71k and absolutely love the car with no regrets so far. The Revel system is wonderful and the engine is plenty powerful for this big SUV. We went there looking to get the new Explorer and drove off with the Aviator. 0% interest was a nice selling point too :)
Lincoln is making a big comeback, i've always loved Lincolns growing up. I like how Lincoln uses real names for it's cars such as the Aviator, Naivigator, Corsair and Nautilus, and Continental. They really outdid themselves with the Aviator!!
@John Sabp dear angry 😠 plastic is used extensively in the ENTIRE auto industry. Ever been in a Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, Bently, or a McLaren? PLASTIC Everywhere. Now, back to the original post - the vehicle is stunning and messaging arse right now!
This is a great truck and 80K isn’t ridiculous if it had a star or roundel on the hood or even the 4 rings it would be 95-100K as there competing trucks are
Something a lot of people miss, and it took me awhile to find as well, but at night with the ambient lights on, any door you open , that light will turn red. The others stay their assigned color . When the door closes, it’s back to the original color
@@tpndgo2061 There’s no money in that. I used to work in a service department and temporary ran the parts side as a temporary fill in. Better opportunities were presented so I left the auto business altogether. I’d respect the lot porters, you’d be surprised of their potential and how far they could go in life. Everyone has to start somewhere.
Finally another night review!! Thanks The Japanese one wasn't as informative probably because he didn't talk at all...:) but I enjoyed when he just drove with that awesome sound system playing. Can't wait to get mine in Nov....again, great review!!
Really good sub but I would rather get a navigator, This is for smaller family’s but the navigator is just a car you can pull up to trumps escort and it can fit a bunch of people.
great night review! Thank You! I drive at night to Florida often and not too many brands make adaptive headlight these days, and no LED fog lights! I think those lights sold me to get one
*OK ! SO IT'S A BEAUTIFULLY DONE UP 2020 FORD EXPLORER !! NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT IT ! FOR $81,000.00 YOU COULD GET THE MID BASE 2020 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR 😒*
Very nice, we had the Aviator many years ago and although not perfect we liked it for the 4 years we had it. That being said, although this model is very nice and a huge leap from the old models I do not see 80k for it, I just don’t.
Wow!!!! great review this car is luxury for a great price. Honestly your getting a 100k car for 80k well maybe after taxes and everything it comes closer to 95 OTD but still if won the lottery this is the vehicle I would buy.
It looks too much like a station wagon for me with the regular size wheels. But, I saw one on 24’s and THAT looked amazing. But, I loved the interior. I prefer the Range Rover screen that’s not sticking straight up out of the dash, but I could live with it.
Warning: some of the tech is very janky. The mic often doesn’t pick up what you say and is almost useless. The seats don’t auto respond to different users with different key fobs as promised. Everything works great. This is after 3 months with this car.
I was not fun of American car, but now change my mind, this is really impressive and brutally good SUV, glad to see American car makers turn answer to world competition! Well done job Lincoln!
I won't be shopping for the Black Label Aviator. I have a kid that's off to college in a couple of years and that puts a crimp in my discretionary purchases so an $80K crossover is over my budget. And even if that weren't a barrier I'm not sure the Aviator would be at the top of my list for that price. However, if I were looking seriously at the top trims of the Explorer (the ST or the Platinum models) with MSRP's over $60K with even a moderate set of options, I'd look carefully at the better equipped and far more appealing Lincoln Aviator "Reserve" trim with a number of options with an MSRP under $65,000.
I love that you do this, people completely ignore the lighting fixtures, which what you’ll see for the hours that it’s dark. Can you PLEASE do one of these on the BMW M340?
I was surprised when my mom had planned to get a new Range Rover and I went to take her to look she said I change my mom let’s go to the ford dealership I was like what? She said yea I wanna see this new suv they have called the Avia something or rather. I said oook. Boom this is what she drives now
Gorgeous vehicle! In my opinion this is the nicest suv out! Blowing bmw, mercedez, & even audi! Only thing missing is a great engine! Needs at least a 550hp+ supercharged v8
The only bad thing about these is that the rear taillight full-LED bar is VERY dim It looks more neon than LED, it doesnt have that pop that other full-LED bars have Porsche, Audi, Genesis, BMW and Lexus all have very bright LED bars that can be seen from far away...this Lincoln doesnt Which is funny because the 2014-2017 Navigator has one of the brightest taillight bars on the road
It's a lovely vehicle good built quality just wish the keyfob looked as good as, the car it has a very cheap plastic flimsy finish so is the front grill. Last but not the least if you are a fan of loud music system then definitely it's not the one you wanna buy. Revel sounds good but isn't loud at all but over all its a nice vehicle hope Lincoln will make necessary changes
Passenger mirror dimming isn’t important at all plus it’s not there because it’s far that’s by driver mirror is dimming because it’s close to you and affects you passenger side doesn’t affect you
@@emmijames358 yes that 4 cylinder is off putting! I finally seen a older man driving one while it is a beautiful car! Where I live near Canada snow country this is a no! Might as well be awd for the price!
I just celebrated 30 days ownership of Black Label Aviator GT (that's the hybrid model) with all options ($90K sticker). The dealer has put more miles on the vehicle than I due to two separate warranty claims, check engine light, and other items. The local non Black Label dealer won't service the vehicle. I am quite surprised that Lincoln cares more about conducting customer satisfaction surveys and building the hype than delivering a vehicle without defects.
Planning to upgrade my 2014 Cadillac SRX luxury package to the 2020 caddy XT5 platinum or this vehicle. The front head lamps on the XT5 seems to have the better appearance but lacks the functionality. This vehicle seems superior in every detail. Right now the lowest price I've seen is $65K
Stock luxury!!!!! Ill take this over the Navigator. Ive only seen about 3 in the Philadelphia area since it droppped. But when i seen it in person..Freaking Gorgeous. I thought I was like a rolls royce matched with a range. This Suv amazing. Sorry Caddy
This car would sell bucket loads in northern Europe, every other car seems to be an SUV some sort/size these days, Audi, Porsche, Range Rover, Jaguar, BMW and Mercedes on every corner. Priced right this is the type of large SUV many would select before the usual suspects.
Beautiful Lincoln Avaitor i remember when this 1st came out gorgeous truck exterior and interior spot on. But I can't see myself paying 80k for this Crossover SUV when next year its gonna cost 40-50k used. If imma pay almost 80k I might aswell get the new Genesis GV80, Mercedes, BMW or Audi.
🤣🤣 dealership experience matters a lot when it comes to new vehicles which none of those automakers can match Lincoln's. Not even including being a Black Label owner.
Depends on the mileage on used one, but am not seeing any Black Label Aviator less than 68k with a lot of miles on it of course. Only car am considering picking up before this is the C8 Corvetter Z06.
The welcome lighting and the interior lights were cool the first 6 months. Then I spent $240 bucks to replace the battery on a COLD winter day. I had to remove the air filter cap to replace the battery bcuz Lincoln’s tuck their batteries so far under the hood.. and just decided it wasn’t worth it so I turned all the lighting on my MKZ off. It’s nice on special occasions. Still nice though.
I’m really struggling with this Aviator Black, or the Porsche Macan Turbo. I prefer something that handles with a sportier feel, but the luxury of the Lincoln is really awesome.
Just Google 2020 aviator problems it is simple just don't buy a Lincoln Lincoln's are trash you're buying extended warranty and the car blows up at 125, 001..I've been through Lincoln's and Lincoln dealer don't want to fix your car even if there's an obvious problem with the suspension which The aviator is having they hold you off until the warranties are done then you're stuck with a bill.. anyone buying a POS for over $50,000 is nuts especially if they're informed yeah good luck with this
I thought my Lincoln was the s*** to till it hit 30k then you realize the mistake you made lmao 🍋 s and dealers are pos's I promise you if you're not having problems yet you will find plenty within a year or two like I said Google 2020 aviator problems nothing more needs to be said
Just purchased the 2020 Lincoln Corsair in the same color! It has most of the same bells and whistles.. only difference is that 3rd row seating. Its soooo smooth and fun to drive!! My favorite feature is the panoramic sun roof!!
