2026 Lincoln Aviator review

Lincoln Aviator: the family hauler that doesn't feel like one. Illustrative review

7.8/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Lincoln Aviator is a strong contender in its class. Roomy second row and flexible cargo floor; easy to see out of and park. Touch-only climate controls on some trims and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $58,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Happy after a year

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.

★★★★☆Jake L. · San Antonio, TX · 23 months owned
Would buy again

Replaced an older Lincoln with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

★★★★☆Jake T. · Nashville, TN · 4 months owned
Happy after a year

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
