Is the 2025 Lincoln Aviator the BEST new midsize 3-row luxury SUV? 

What’s going on everyone? This Aviator was a total surprise to Lori & I. We are on the Nautilus drive and Lincoln has the 2025 Aviator on display so we had to bring it to you!

Cadillac shoots for Flash & Blling. Lincoln shoots for Understated Elegance. I'm with Lincoln on this classy, luxurious ride

Lincoln has come a long way. They got a good lineup

30 way adjustable seats and 28 speakers is insane but Lincoln has hit a home run with its vehicles. Thanks Joe and Lori for the video and review!

These new licolns look so cool, I remember I used to view Lincoln as a brand for the old geezer lol

I love the lineup...a luxury vehicle for every need. Go Lincoln. Thanks Joe and Lori ... USA

Joe, I absolutely love watching your authentic and entertaining videos dude. I’m so glad I can count on a genuine review from you as you aren’t afraid to mention the components you like and dislike about a vehicle. Keep going J&L!

Thx Joe. You are hilarious 😂. You blend in some great humor (and food references) for all your reviews. It's fantastic. Thx Lori for all you do. This Aviator looks great. Much love and respect from the "214"

Joe, I just love your reviews... YOU'RE THE BEST!❤

These new Lincolns are fricking amazing....these things are fantastic

Joe, if i ever want to get this car it will be because of your review, your detailed description combined with your experienced opinion makes this video a joy to watch, thank you so much!

Wow!!!! I think I have ridden in one!. Lovely car!! Great job.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

And still champion of the lenses Lori Raiti 🏆 🎉🎉

Joe's one man mission to remove all rear wipers is gaining steam. Feels like a lot of 24/25 SUV's are starting to move them. The Raiti Effect

I so love your review! I crack up and get great information. 😂

Great review, seems like a nice fit for families. Very nice touches and features inside and out.

Amazing review Joe.

Wish Toyota/Lexus could make something that looks this good.

This Lincoln is absolutely stunning

What's the button at 10 o'clock on the steering wheel for?

J - 472 years ago my uncle always drove Lincolns & I remember riding places with him & my Aunt - it was like floating on a cloud. he called them his land yacht - love tony

What's the button at 10 o'clock on the steering wheel for?)))))))

Can’t wait for the test drive beautiful car. Actually considering the Nautilis for myself. Love the idea of the third row specially, for taking family members out just wish third row had little more room. You always give the best commentary and in depth reviews.

Loved this new Aviator, the design looks fantastic. It would be perfect with just two rows but that's a very personal preference.

Does it cost more to have a functional air curtain?

Good review!. I'm an American schmuck and I want American car companies do well. This is truly a nice SUV. I looked once at Aviator "black badge" and the interior was phenomenal, but the vehicle was expensive. I wish they could rework the exterior to give it more presence on the streets. The current design gets lost on the street among other SUVs.

Great review . Just wondering why the Aviator didn’t go with the similar massive A pillar to A pillar infotainment system found in the Nautilus. Any ideas?

My wife is one her second aviator lease because she loves the car. So much versatility and luxury for the price. Love the refreshed look! My two things-with so much black accent outside, black out Lincoln in the back and inside angle the screen and controls slightly to the driver. Otherwise a great vehicle!

I'd take this over the Nautilus. Love the new styling on both but this has the proper horsepower for the price point.

Hey Joe ! 👋. It looks good……like the way they did the shifter buttons……doesn’t take up much room. I hope they gave you a ballon for coming to Palm Springs

Very nice vehicle. Always been a fan of the aviator

Can't go wrong with a Raiti's review.

Oh how I miss the Lincoln sedans. I had an 85 Conti. Best car I ever had, air suspension was pricy to replace tho. Sold it privately after 1st airbag went out in 1993, $330.00 for one. Service Mgr said glad I brought it in, $500.00 compressor in trunk would burn out.

I like the exhaust tip "bottom exit" design. This feature was added to eliminate the "black carbon build-up" that is common with chrome tipped covers.

Lincoln and Cadillac continue to put American Luxury on the Top Shelf of The World 💯💰

10:20 That actually sounds good! It makes me want a burrito lol

Hey Raiti, could you do a video on the new f150 single cab with the mustang engine in it?

i remember as a teen i did valet parking and there were only 2 luxary suvs at the time. i was expecting the mercedes to be better but the navagator was just amazing and better and more comfortable. they just know how to make a luxary suv.

Hey Joe, how come you never reviewed a production spec Lincoln Aviator? The last one you reviewed was a 2020 Aviator preproduction model.

Really like this aviator style and horsepower. It is much more upscale than the Lexus TX. But wish the 3rd row was as big as the TX. Also the screens in the Nautilus is so awesome. I just wish you could combine the length of the Lexus TX and screen of the Nautilus into the Aviator with its V6 400 horses. Now I must decide between the Aviator and the Nautilus. Leaning Aviator. Thanks for your review Joe as they are always the best

Nice. Is a 2025 Navigator review coming ? 😊

Rati, any info on the 2025 Ford Expedition?

I’ve had a Telluride for a couple years. I learned I absolutely didn’t need a 3rd row. I have my eye on the Nautilus or the Genesis GV70. Which one u all think is the better choice?

Sweet 💯

For the Lincoln aviator 2025 what would of been best for it to stand out they should of but 48 inch screen inside as they did the nautilus but I would still buy it great suv

This Lincoln Aviator looks good, and with 400hp, that's not bad.

Hey, Joe Lincoln too is true American luxury, however I prefer Cadillac and the Escalade, because my uncle drove Cadillacs and we took road trips in them and those caddy's were sure nice 😊😊😊.

What's up with the stitching behind the steering wheel it looks kind of defective.

Wheels look sick

A big thank you to Joe and Lori for bringing us this sneak peek at the 2025 Lincoln Aviator. Beautiful vehicle but I am a little perplexed on what they are doing with this compared to the Lincoln Nautilus from 2024 with that brilliant large screen across the dashboard. No such dashboard in this offering but screens more like the Mustang in this one. Also, I prefer the seamless blending in of the door handles on the Nautilus and Continental than the more traditional handles on this one although they are fine. I just figured they would be consistent across the lineup. It is a beautiful vehicle although the 3rd row is pretty much useless. In my case, I would just keep that down and have a very large storage space in the back. I do like the V-6 offering in this as opposed to the 2024 Nautilus with just the smaller engine offerings. Thanks again, Joe and Lori and now enjoy some well deserved down time in Palm Springs. Looks like you two are slumming it this weekend!!!!!LOL

I wished you had shown the third row seats down. To show how much storage on top.

So much improved.

I love ur reviews!! I was thinking of trading my Navi for the Aviator, but the 3rd row seat is a bust. 😢

Very nice❤

God bless physical HVAC controls. Fine it you put them in software, but they better be there physically, or you'll never see my money. In a time when my jaw drops whenever you say the price, $68K didn't make me spew my Coke. A Caddy XT6 with everything is around $66K so this is competitive, especially since you can't get a twin turbo V6 in the Caddy at all. Well done!

5:10-5:36 My only regret about those Wheels is that Lincoln is not going into the luxury sports car market. Because those Wheels would kill on one of them.

Let’s see Lori’s championship belt !!!

Please do a review on a clean example of a Subaru Baha?

Love this car

Lincoln has been killing the style and interior!!!!

Waiting for ON THROTTLE!!!

This is an elegance vehicle.

Love this looks very beautiful but looks better black 🖤 That worth the price for $69,000

I wish you would measure the depth of the front seats for your thigh support. Compact and sub compact are too short on a trip for longer legged people. It a good comparison #

Wow beautiful ride. Im leaning towards this or the 2025 navigator. Thanks for the great and entertaining review as always 👍👏👏

This is my favourite colour interior in any car i love it

@5:02, Those brake rotors look tiny inside the 22" wheels. It's got the economy car effect going. And that black A-pillar does not flow with the doors to the windshield. It's like Ford took a look at the Nissan Rogue and decided to copy that, instead of making it flow nicer like the Explorer A-pillar trim And when I see a new Accord from the rear, the tail lights scream Aviator

Great looks, gives me tiguan rest a bit which is a great looking car. Great color inside and feels luxurious. Think the biggest problem for me is it's Lincoln

Your Mom's pearl of wisdom about fingering the gloss black trim should be shared with some of these other RU-vidrs...🖐

Here are the 12 Apostles to the Luxury Cars: #1. Lincoln #2. Cadillac #3. GMC #4. Buick #5. Acura #6. Alpha Romeo #7. BMW #8. Genesis #9. Mercedes-Benz #10. Rolls-Royce #11. Audi #12. Bentley. I love the fake vents & I feel like without them, the white bumper would look rather boring.

Wonder why the aviator didn't get the full dash screen for passenger like the nautilus did?

Lincoln has been doing their homework and finally listened to RAITI, lose that rear window wiper. LOL!

Reminds me of an Fpace almost

9:45 And my one zonk for that, it should be wood decorated, not gloss black. Some luxury cars have wood accents, so this one should have that too!

Lincoln is BACK!

It's so beautiful

I definitely agree that the Aviator has improved quite a bit, the TX will be your best bet if you’re planning to carry fully grown men in all three rows

68K?! Hot damn that’s a good deal 🎉

Joe you’re so hilarious, that’s one of the reasons I love watching your reviews. It was really funny when you talked about how to open the door 😂

Does the second row have heated/cooled seats?

Why do half of these new SUV/Crossovers/Wagons not come with fog lights anymore? We live in a day where almost all the cars now have fog lights, and most of the new SUVs don't. Wtf?

Raiti, bro wats up with the manuf & the fake vents!?!? Either put a fog light or functional ventilation. Every time I see that I’m telling the dealer I want @ discount for extra plastic on my car

Not placing the rear seating vents on the ceiling is a miss.

Where's the NAUTILUS REVIEW?! I NEED DAT!!!

I have the 2020 aviator reserve with all the options and this isnt that different. The difference that this has outside of the face lift is the blue cruise, update instrument cluster and sync 4 infotainment. This just shows me that lincoln is not going crazy and introducing too many changes all at once in order to maintain quality. Im just waiting until the interior matches the new nautilus end to end digital screen experience. Then i wont be able to resist

What happened to the 2024 bought a new 2023 on Jan 2??

I see quality control is a problem. The drivers door isn't aligned properly. It's sitting a bit low front and rear.

Love the Aviator - hate the new bigger screens, hate the HVAC buttons moving to the Infotainment.

I chose the bmw x3 loaded for me some of it is the service centers customer feeling when leaving and I’ve worked at and been to enough of them to know that ford centers and Gm is horrible but go to bmw service center it’s almost life changing😂😂.

Best esthetics

Daaaang I’ve had the Lexus TX in my sights and now I’m like shiet the Aviator huh?

Oh Joe it would be great to see a Reserve model without the Jet package. It seems Lincoln is really pushing that package

Nice but I like the Nautilus styling better, especially inside.

nice car

Impressive car, Bentley sensibilities for the [relative] masses - especially inside. Interestingly, it also helps me appreciate the Bentley at 3-4x the price (which is respect, not disrespect, to both the Bentley and the Lincoln). Exterior feels a little bland, but the clamshell hood, mirrors, etc tells you they're going for as "pure" of a recipe of luxury as they can be within the parameters - alongside a real RWD chassis and other thoroughbred touches.

This man lives his snacks lol but this was a great review.

I think the nautilus outshines the aviator in nearly every way besides not having a 3rd row.

The Lincoln Aviator and the Lexus TX are the 2 vehicles I'm choosing between for my next ride. I will say I can't stand the 3rd row literally sitting on the floor. Those riding back there will eat their knees. Just not well thought out back there but I do love the under floor cargo which was one of my desires but the TX does not have it. Yes you have an under floor opening but it's all filled with "car stuff" with a few tiny compartments to throw some tools or whatnot in, not fully open like the Aviator. Another plus on this is the engine. Not thrilled with the 4cyl turbo on the Lexus. Love both on styling however the Aviator offers more chrome outside which was my preference. I did find the TX a bit disappointing inside with that typical Lexus grandeur. It's definitely lacking the high end finishes that I expect to see. So lots to consider.

Why not nautilus or corsair
