2020 Lincoln Aviator Reserve

The 2020 Aviator is Lincoln's three-row luxury SUV, slotting above the Nautilus and below the Navigator. It squares off against the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Volvo XC90, offering a softer, more isolated ride. The Aviator glides with a hushed, composed demeanor, though the plug-in's extra weight makes it feel less eager in corners. The cabin is a highlight, with 30-way adjustable front seats, rich materials, and a spacious third row that fits adults. Standard Co-Pilot360 safety tech includes automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring, plus a crisp SYNC 3 touchscreen. Its 3.0L V6 makes 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, routed through a ten-speed automatic to the rear wheels, and returns 21 mpg combined. The Reserve rides on standard coil springs rather than the Grand Touring's air suspension, which means a slightly firmer feel but lower maintenance costs down the road.
