- When I first decided to do review the 2020 BMW X7, I thought to wait for the 2020 Lincoln Aviator and see if I could compare these two 3 row seaters or 7 seaters as you may like to call me.

I understand that for some, the BMW X7 is better suited in a comparison video vs the 2020 Lincoln Navigator, I just thought to do something different.
Special thanks for this video goes to BMW Performance located in St Catherines, Ontario:

This video was made mostly as a review of each individual car in detail with some comparisons in between. I understand some people will take this as the wrong comparison, and I understand that. I wanted to see how these two stack up and review them individually since I wasn't able to do a video on the X7. I respect everyone's opinion, but someone said, you don't make it by following the rule. If you want a comparison X7 vs Navigator, well you can look it up I am sure there is one. I do apologize for the long video, but it is a detail review, and both these have a lot of features. Also, special thanks for this video goes to BMW Performance in St Catherines. Without dealership's help, my comparisons will never happen. It's very hard to get two press cars at the same time, almost impossible, especially if they are two different brands.
I appreciate all the hard work you put in and going out there in cold and doing these comparisons.
I bet there is a lot of mix feelings about this but who cares.
Please factor in reliability and repair cost.
As we see reliability and repair costs were an added in because that would have completely changed the whole outcome. Those BMW are not reliable according to JD Powers Powers and Linclon has been killing it the last few years.
And a five star rating from consumers report.
For me as a FAMILY driver (7People) and also for AGGRESSIVE driving, I only compare Size, Aesthetics, Power Engine, Elastic Power Engine, Gearbox, Accessibility to the 2nd and 3rd row of seats, LUGGAGE SPACE, Conductivity comfort and PASSENGERS, Weight vs Consumption (Diesel and Eletric), and some GadGETs.
Former Chrysler Grand Voyager STo Go LX 2005, with the size it has, with Porche type design, with seat system, With accessibility of the Slyding door (with OPEN glass), with no finger trapping system, with the boot space that it has (refounded), with remote ignition system, with Multimedia Kit of the 2007 version, if an ENGINE and Gearbox of any of these were applied, together with some Gadgets was WONDER. The big FAMILIES had the ideal car / SUV for everything and anything. For me Lincoln With some adaptations, of both (X7, elastic engine, powerful and in the ECU with the XDrive 5.5, with prompt response - aggressive and dynamic), the Mercedes GLS (system to remove the car from Lama / Areias), Cadilac 2021 (when driving without hands), Aviator (BANKS vs comfort, powerful engine), On the Lexus LX (on the ability to raise the vehicle for certain situations vs obstacles). All of these moderns all lack accessibility despite having automatic STEP (which uses more battery and increases the likelihood of having problems later). All of them lack the ability to be driven in the city, to be electric, the Plug in type with Batteries. Because to keep these Great ROAD Beasts with Cooling / Heating and all Gadgets, and walking in the city does not start, combustion kills those who walk. For me, I took the Lincoln Design aesthetic and because it was longer in length, semi classic and made multiple adaptations to obtain the ideal vehicle
The Aviator for the cost, it's a steal. I love how badass it looks. Someone here said like the Velar style, totally agree
Facts
Aviator looks like a cheese grater on wheels!!
I'll take the Lincoln
Lincoln for me, couldn't justify the 30k extra for the X7
I agree the extra 20-40k isn’t justified anymore
TheWorldisFlat by Porsche Which makes this comparison totally fucked, especially when you consider that the Navigator is in the same price range as the X7....
TheWorldisFlat by Porsche I think at this point in time Lincoln couldn’t justify an increase in price ... however Lincoln is mid re-branding - they are focusing on ensuring people pay the actual retail price without offering discounts which allows the brand to have better residuals (That’s why Joy took over as President) ... and I believe the mid life cycle refreshes of the new designs they just brought market which will be due in 2-4 years will solidify Lincoln’s focus on quality and luxury as well introducing the sub brand of direct comparison Mercedes / Land Rover Autobiography luxury vehicles which will all carry the Continental brand name - a continental sedan, coupe, and SUVs all with grand touring power plants
@@christopherstreet2214 sorry but selling the Aviator and Navigator for any less would be cutting themselves short.
@Speaking Truths navigator is just to damn big the aviator looks way better than navigator
I Really love the Aviator 💯🔥
I love too
yes, the x7 is ugly and blocky looking, especially from the sides. its also too tall. the Aviator is more car like which is what people buying true "luxury cars" are really wanting
Aviator for me
Loving the look of the Lincoln Aviator inside and out.
Not gonna lie : Aviator looks better in/outside, with that being said, looks are subjective.
Aviator. Better looking. More refined. Not a huge fan of the body shape of the X7.
Bmw sucks plus unreliable
Aviator! Test drove a bmw, lexus,audi, merc, jaguar and the drive quality of the Lincoln kicked their a?$3$. I wanted an actual luxury vehicle and the Rincoln delivered where the others left me wanting.
What mercedes and audi and lexus and bmw did u drive
@@issavibez394 gLE, q5 and q6, rx, and a 7 series - what I found was that all are being built for sport..... When I want a sport I will get a roadster. When I want luxury I want luxury and the Germans are just missing the point- throwing in tech is not luxury. Lexus was the closest. Nurburgring ring performance should be left to the sports cars and hope these automotive "journalists" stop ruining different classes of autos for the sake of a time on a track.
@@nosoupforyou425 German cars aren't reliable anyway to neither is the British
@@issavibez394 I disagree. If you buy actual German built autos I believe you get quality for JLR, Merc at least. Have two currently and they perform flawlessly after many miles and yrs ; gwagon and i-pace. Would not want a BMW or merc made in usa
@@nosoupforyou425 disagree Germans think they are the most clever but they are not their junk I knew a guy that went to Germany talked to a cab driver who drives a prius he's from Germany I believe and he's even said the most cars that are always in the shop for something is always bmw mercedes and audi how ridiculous
If he took the time to research the aviator he would see it offers most of the options he talked about the other suv having. I just did the build on mine yesterday and had most of it added in
Yes very bias he's obviously a fanboy bmws have much worse reputation
Lincoln all day! Looks better, cheaper and more reliable. Lincoln for the win.
Buying a luxury vehicle because it's cheaper 🤣🤣🤣
@@Scotford_Maconochie Added bonus. Why pay more?
François Parent Not everybody buying a luxury vehicle has millions and just goes out and buys whatever
@@watchdogs295 Most people are wealthy because they don't waste their money...:) Many don't even buy brand new cars, they get one with low miles for A MUCH better price. Call me a spendthrift though, I think that new car smell is worth it...:)
@@Scotford_Maconochie dude, not everyone has the money to buy a really expensive vehicle and the Lincoln aviator is a good and somewhat affordable vehicle like the black label which is the highest trim costs 80k
Very Informative review which tells everything about the two rivals. Thanks for the work put on this video.
We went with the Aviator GT Black Label and looked at the X7 and the MB GLS models. Ultimately all super vehicles and each has something I wish was in the others and each as quirks. It came down to value and when you try to make the X7 and MB GLS comparable to the Aviator GT BL in performance and features the price difference is between 35 and 50K more for the Euro vehicles. Could not get myself to pay 40K more just to have the BMW or MB badge.
Hey so how do you like the aviator? What did you drive before this ? And what other cars did you consider
@@veneelable My wifes vehicle and she loves it. I have driven it a few times solid build, quiet, comfortable beyond belief and very very quick for an SUV. She went from minivan life to this now that we are empty nesters. We looked at Lexus GX and LX, Audi Q7, MB GLS, BMW X5 and X7, Volvo XC90, Cadillac XT6 and step downs Kia/Hyundai Telluride/Palisade, Toyota Highlander, Acura MDX, Infinity QX60 and some that don't really compete like Mazeratti Levante, Porsche Cayenne for performance fun. We did a lot of driving and research she was looking for the right fit in size, comfort, performance and safety. A lot of those other vehicles are really nice but she knew she wanted something upper end, had to have power and luxury quiet and comfort and the MB GLS and BMW X7 were closest we thought but with all the bells and whistles were coming in at least 30K more. Volvo and Audio were just a tad too small for her. Caddy we thought was just an awful retro fit like Lincolns used to be. Lexus 570 was nice, but too big and the GX we thought was one of the most dated vehicles we have ever driven. Very impressed with the KIA/Hyundai for value and we were not in a position to afford the Lincoln we would have really considered them they were really impressive for that range. Acura and Infinity were too small and WAYYYYY under powered.
@@tubtub5323 7 months later do you still feel the same way? I hope so, we are waiting for our new Black Label right now...:)
For the price. I would go with the Lincoln.
I'll take the Lincoln Aviator.
These two fit right in for this comparison.
Great review loved it.
My eyes are on the aviator for a 7 seater. My top 2 SUVs before considering this was CX 9 and QX60
I will do an CX9 comparison too.
Just bought the Aviator , wanted a crossover not super huge gas guzzler truck with third row seating , this thing is top tier😮interior is absolutely stunning, the ride is so smooth and it gets up and goes when necessary, wasn’t looking for a Lincoln at all but so glad I stumbled upon this truck , kids absolutely love it we’re gonna keep this one for a while 👍👌👌
Not bad for the Aviator to be compared to what been considered the new top luxury 7/8 passengers SUV. All the features that are missing from it and offered in the X7, mostly are gimmicks and are not essential. I also consider the Aviator as 1st Gen as the X7, but X7 is inheriting the tech of a long luxury brand that been in development for a long time with targeted competition such as GLS & Q7/8. with lesser 20K, I'll take the aviator anytime.
The sound test for the Lincoln had the sunshade open. Need to close it like on the bmw. Makes a huge difference.
Lincoln Aviator allllllll day!
Aviator is just THE BOMB!
New follower, amazing video, keep going
Welcome
The Lincoln better for price but also just a better looking design
I agree. I have 2024 Lincoln MKX it is attractive and looks better..
@@m.abu-naiyan9047 wtf aren't those even made and released yet
The side profile of the Aviator looks like the RR Velar...or am i just blind lol
I’ll take the Lincoln aviator !!
No mention of the Aviator's Active Park Assist.....an absolutely brilliant driver aid, particularly for city parking.
And 24 way adjust seats that no other manufacturer does
Very informative video
That Aviator is a beauty!
Thanks for a detailed comparison. I was hoping to hear you compare the handling between the two since BMW has always been known for its sporty handling.
I just got a 2020 Aviator Grand Touring Black Label & love it. Kudos to Lincoln since I’m a big Tesla’s fan & I’ve been driving Tesla since 2013. I thought that I would never buy a gasoline car again. My last was a 2016 Tesla X which has a sportier handling & much faster acceleration. But the Aviator is pure LUXURY & the ride is as smooth as silk. The Revel 28 speakers sound system is the best in a car that I’ve ever experienced. Aviator Copilot 360 plus’ adaptive cruise control & lane centering is actually BETTER than my 2016 Tesla X’s auto-pilot! Aviator’s engagement & disengagement of cruise control & lane centering is seamless compared to Tesla’s.
Aviator Grand Touring has impressive HP/torque & a pretty decent acceleration in Excite driving mode. I only miss 2 things from my Tesla: no stop for gas & the regenerative braking that automatically applies braking as you let off on the gas pedal, this allows minimal time spent on the brake pedal as you come to a stop.
Congrats
how has it been in 3 years?
thank you for the review sir but, ya need to understand that i can't effort it.
I bought the Aviator same color but with black interior.
Congrats
Good man
How is it
@ISSA VIBEZ love it but the x7 is better.
... and the beauty contest winner eeezzz .... the aviator.
No mention of two nice things on the Aviator -- 1. hidden rear windshield wiper/washer under the spoiler (I did not notice if the X7 had this feature) 2. the nice storage area below the forward console area where "wifey" can store her purse instead of in the footwell where it may get wet. Oh, really nice to see another Canuck reviewer. I just can't decide at my age and with an MKX (2011) with only 104K KM if I can justify the expenditure. I do love the vehicle though so thanks for the "comparison"
Yes you are correct. The video would have been 1 hour. I just picked some interesting features. The X7 had a lot more but then you would make it boring.
@@SamCarLegion I am not easily bored lol. I like to see good and thorough reviews and love to see lots about the Aviator. I still may take the offer my dealer has given me of 2 days with the Aviator but will wait for better weather. I might wait to see what the 2021 Nautilus will be like as I like my MKX size a bit more than the Aviator which is a bit longer and I don't need 7 seats. If the Nautilus came out with the same rear wiper system which I have advocated ever since getting my MKX with Lincoln and the storage for "wifey's" purse and the gear selector which I love on the Aviator then I would be happy with the Nautilus.
If you had a youtube channel you would agree with me. I have one more video to edit with the Lexus RX 350 L against the Aviator, I will add that information in there.
@@SamCarLegion I will be looking forward to the review of these two vehicles. I almost bought a Lexus a couple years ago when they initiated the new styling of the 350 which I happen to love also. However, while they, at that time had the concealed wiper/washer, have now gone back to the styling that others use. Bummer! Have seen some reviews and comments that express the idea that Lexus has dropped off in recent years while Lincoln has made adjustments and inroads into the SUV/CUV market.
The Aviator by far is my favorite Lincoln ever. It has everything you need from the luxury prospective.
Appreciate the review. Would love to see Navagator vs X7 though!
I think there's a video out there, you can look it up.
very different vehicles. the navigator is just huge compared to the X7
@@tubtub5323 there's a shorter wheelbase version of the Navigator I believe. As for them being very different: even if you're right, the Navigator is the more equal in price to the X7 and thus should be more fairly equipped to combat the BMW more stiffly. It's size should be taken into account if it is that much larger, but if it is that much larger, people can consider that an advantage or disadvantage of the car, based on their living conditions.
@@devongee1776 There is an L version and is 18" longer than the X7 and the standard Navigator is still a crazy 7" longer! The X7 and the Aviator are competitors X7 is about 3" longer but when we were shopping they were very close as was the GLS in size, width, etc. and where the Navigator was just a monster in size and really only competes with the Escalade/Suburban vehicles.
@@tubtub5323 truly appreciate your conversation and hope you love whichever vehicle you picked after your shopping!
He clearly favors the BMW… maybe he hopes to have one some day
I think Lincoln is making Continental into its own sub brand (Like it use to be) ... and create a line of vehicles that are even more luxurious
I think the Rivian based model will be the beginning of the Continental models ... and the mustang Mach-e based vehicle will replace the MKZ
Lincoln isnt making a "Continental sub-brand".
In fact they are going to discontinue the MKZ and Continental.
Joe Cool Joy .., the president of Lincoln said they will not get rid of sedans ... the current ones will be discontinued but that is why they made the CD6 platform ... and she also stated that the Continental might be something different besides a traditional sedan ... with the success of the Continental coach door edition I don’t see them giving up on the market ... Lincoln’s transaction prices are higher than ever and they don’t need to discount vehicles and the residual values are holding better and will only improve
@@christopherstreet2214 2 years later... continental gone, MKZ gone, and rivian platform abandoned. It's crazy to see what can change in a couple of years.
Great timing lowering the BMW while the Lincoln raises.
Aviator all the way... Way to go Lincoln. The power alone is amazing and the cruise control self driving is the closest to Tesla. Cannot go wrong on this one. Customer service is very professional and effective. They make you feel special. We own one... Happy wife, Happy life and she is very happy. Thank you. Great video.
Are you still happy with the Aviator? Any issues so far?
Cause I’m planning to buy one.
Thanks
@@dfz4032 Me too, In fact we already ordered ours...:)
@@whatsupwithsteve how has it been in 3 years?
The reason you couldn’t kick under the tailgate on the X7 to open it is because it had a trailer hitch. Normally that feature is standard but when the car has a trailer hitch you can’t kick underneath to open the trunk.
that feature is offered and probably standard by now, for the Aviator with the trailer hitch towing package. but with the complicated tailgate design of the x7, being in two pieces, it probably would have been a "buggy" feature if they attempted to put it on that x7. for me, i don't like that x7 tailgate design as when you lower it, its in the way and you cannot reach as far into the car as if the entire tailgate was raised and out of the way.
Aviator is far superior and more powerful yet less expensive
The BMW rear gate will open up with the foot kick unless you have the trailer hitch factory option installed which negates that feature. Your example had the factory hitch. You can confirm this on the BMW site. The BWW is awesome but the Aviator is world class. Great to see that the Lincoln can compete on any stage.
Bmw is mechanically trash
I would take a Lincoln over any other luxury brand and that includes Rolls Royce
And you are a dumbass fanboy.
@@gaddyify 😂 are you a Rolls Royce fan (don’t get me wrong I personally think Rolls Royce is 100% pure luxury and would take it over anything if it was it was a free option😂) or what is your brand/car of choice? I think he meant price point
You must be like 90 years old 😅
Thank you.
You can Tablets for the head rest on the Aviator Black Label. I’m not sure they offer that top trim in Canada. The Black Label offers 10 grand more features then the Grand touring.
No black label for Canada
Haven't been here in awhile...man so many videos. Good stuff Sam. Keep bringing them just make them shorter lol no one has 40 min to watch a video. Good stuff anyway. X7 for me will do.
The Aviator is very nice, my favorite with the Genesis GV80.
Will make it happen once I get my hands on it
Thanks for the video, I'll take the Lincoln
Thanks for watching.
Lucky. Licoln does not exist in UK.
@@borinvlogs yeah because it’s an American brand but if it did exist in the UK it would probably sell like hotcakes 🥞
Should compare the X7 with the Grand touring black label aviator
Not available in Canada
I have owned Cadillac (SRX), Audi (Q7), test drove an Acura (MDX), and the Benz GLS, and considered buying a Lexus (GL450)
Then I drove the BMW (X5)........now all I want is a BMW (X7 m50i). The driving experience is unmatched.
This is what people don't get. In a video and features, Lincoln tries to lure people in. Nice car, but drive the bmw and Lincoln back to back - the driving experience is everything. Bmw hands down.
@@cj3380 bmw sucks
The bmw x7 is an amazing suv but for the price it doesn’t even offer mid row ventilated seats and the Lincoln does and that’s important to me because I live in a hot dessert close to LA and I want my rear to be nice and cool
Bmw are junk anyway
My wife and I bought a X7 because of this video!
Congratulations
Junk
13:00
Watch as both vehicles flex their air suspensions.
On another note, while I appreciate a power 2nd row of seats, can we please have a manual mechanism for getting into the 3rd row? Both MB and BMW have notoriously over-engineered the simplicity of getting into the 3rd row, needlessly powering that too. I can't imagine having to wait in inclement weather for the 2nd row to 'show-off' and not in a hurry to get out of the way for access. And it's not like they give you much space to climb in. Then another wait for the seats to return to their not original starting position. Frustratingly so!
Omg!!! Hahaha that's actually so funny
Never impressed with so much automation. Sometimes unnecessary and inconvenient pushing a button and painfully waiting for the extra slow system to finish cycling is to me a step backwards instead of just making it a manual option with less steps.
I just picked up a CPO 2020 Aviator Black Label as well (traded a Range Rover Velar - which is a complete POS). I've owned several BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar sedans and wanted to try something different, so I only cross-shopped the Aviator with the Volvo XC90 Inscription. I actually landed on the Volvo after driving it - fantastic machine, tight as a drum and drives MUCH smaller than it is - and even placed a deposit on one. But I changed my mind at the last moment based entirely on the Aviator's looks (inside and out) and high feature content. I've only had it for a week, but loving it so far!
Let me get this right the first thing you said was "don't think of it as a comparison" but that's exactly what you did right! Ok I thought I was tripping
Some people will think that this isn't the right comparison, basically covering the bases... apparently I forgot about viewers like yourself.
Lincoln Company has a history of delivering a very beautiful and powerful cars. When I was trying to buy a car I have visited BMW, Lexus and Mercedes. Only Lincoln MKX I chosed. It is a beautiful and powerful car.
LINCOLN IS DEFINITELY NOT SHABBY.
Why Lincoln is better
Its better
Well I rather get the Lincoln's , I think a lot better then BMW X7 ,the steering wheel look more luxury then BMW X7 and the seats more comfortable and luxury too , overall look better and cheaper and luxury and quiet too .
Which is smoother to drive
I am currently in the market for a 3rd row SUV and I have driven a number of vehicles to get a feel of what I want. I have driven the Acura MDX (both versions), the Lexus (multiple), the XT5, the XC90, the X7 and the Aviator. Out of all these, the Aviator blew me away. The next one was the X7 but on balance, the Aviator seems to be a better purchase (unless you are going for the badge). The X7 is slightly more firm on its drive and the tech is more fancy, but the Aviator has the ludicrous level of hp and torque to compensate. It’s was definitely on the plush side. More importantly I had my family along and their uniform opinion was that the Aviator was more comfortable and with well thought out interior design (they hated the way the cupholders and vents were arranged in the X7 compared to the luxury of the full console). On top of that there is the 12k premium which I feel in this case is absolutely not justified. Finally we are going with the Aviator GT which is obviously closer in price to the X7 but is still eligible for federal tax credits. Thanks for the review
I agree with everything you said. but one puzzling remark about the x7 might be chosen for the "badge". To me, the Lincoln name, while a retro luxury brand to millennials, is still a top tier brand thats been known for building luxury cars for over 100 years. To me, it has more upscale and luxury credentials than a bmw which i think of mostly as a harder riding, more sports car type vehicle than a bona fide luxury car. I mean, my mother's cleaning lady has a new bmw. i just don't see that brand as being a true luxury car
Hou had rhe panaroof enclosure open on thhe lincoln when you did the noise test which would make it a little louder than yhe bmw.
I love the bmw x7 look especially with the sport package and second would be the Lincoln
Lincoln outperform that
Aviator and X7, GLS are very similar in dimensions so this a far compro Sam. YES the X7 is vastly more expensive but the Aviator does hit above its weight class so to speak unlike say a XT6. A fully loaded grand touring black label Aviator compared to a X7550i would surely be interesting. X7 has things the Aviators lacks due to a much higher price tag, but the Aviator also has feature the X7 doesnt.
Also Lincoln, please find a way to black out your headlight housings on the Navi/Aviator. On models with blacked out features, the chrome interior housing lead to a less cohesive design
Thanks for the feedback. I was reading online and some reviews pointed out that best comparison would be the navigator which in my opinion doesn't sound like a good one since the navigator could barely fit in most places especially the L. The X7 is far better and smaller than the Navigator.
@@SamCarLegion yes sir Sam. The RR/GLS/ and now X7 compete with each other. YES some will cross shop as the NAvi/Escalade do have similar prices as the GLS/X7/RR but that's where the similarities end. THE Escalade/Navi are TRUCK Based BOF FULL size suvs with towing/capability to match those truck based roots. High end aviators (BL/BL Grand Touring) are more in line with those unibody rwd/awd offerings as they are much CLOSER (not exact) to "mid-sized/large (by today's measurements) segments"
Lincoln aviator offers much more bmw barely offers half
Pls review new Nautilus vs GV80 which are the ones targeting on luxury SUVs. I believe it would be a tough fight.
Reviewed Lincoln vs gv80 - check it out
@@SamCarLegion i mean the newly modified interior Nautilus, bro
@@kodykmt that one is nice
After experiencing the aviator set controls on the door I can't ever go back to annoying controls on side of seat that I can't see
that basic power seat switches arrangment, on the door, has been a signature design on Lincoln cars as far back as the 70's, maybe farther. My parents had a 77 Town car, a 84 Mark VII and some 90's Lincolns, all of which had power seat switches on doors or door armrest.
It’s funny how the x7 is being compared to the aviator and the aviator comes out on top in terms of price and the navigator is even better then the aviator and still cost less than the x7 so what’s the point of Mercedes and bmw?
The point? Germans know how to make luxury vehicles that work well. The aviator has nice features and is comfortable but execution and build quality suffer. Their launch was horrible, the problems they've been having atrocious. Also, very soft and uninspiring to drive (70 hp advantage, smaller, still slower, less fun to drive, led towing capacity). Not bad if you're older and just want to cruise around. But otherwise, that's the point of bmw and Mercedes. There's a reason why they are the leaders in sales globally.
The Navigator/Expedition is a truck based SUV that compares more with the Escalade/Danali. The X7 and GLS are unibody construction SUVs that would be loath to be compared to those rebadged trucks...
@@OlJackBurton here’s the thing, yes the navigator is in a different class, but it’s costs around the same if not less actual yes a lot less, and just offer an insane amount more space, and the navigator and other competitors like the Escalade offer very similar luxury,
Popcorn out. 1 hr video lol. I will take it.
My 2012 Lincoln mkt awd EcoBoost twin turbo v6 with 370 hp n 390 lb foot of torque just smoked a x7... reached speeds of 97mph wasn't even trying at all. Legit effortlessly.
The x7 40i is pretty slow because it is heavy, but the x7 50i, far faster.
I wonder why Lincoln doesn’t offer Black Label options up in Canada?
Because they probably don't sell as many.
I have a aviator reserve 2023 ceramic Pearl. I appreciate content creators but I feel he favored the BMW from the beginning. It's better to be neutral when doing reviews.
I would go with the aviator
Aviator, simply the best, and by far!!
The Lincoln aviator starts at 51,000 and for what is offered I fell like I’m stealing from Lincoln, if this car was branded as Mercedes or bmw it would of been like 90k
Lincoln is better
Bmws are peace of Sh*T mechanically and electronically
Genesis gv90! Waiting list
Will make that comparison
X7 is far superior to the Aviator. But I will give it to Lincoln, this is by far the best of the Lincoln so far.
Sorry to say even though I drove a BMW I just can’t justify the price difference beside off course the name recognition of driving a BMW.
@@modlerjeancharles3287 i drove it, it's amazing, i just can't afford it
Johny Sack not gonna disagree. Always have been a BMW fan. My problem is I feel like we always badmouth American cats but imports have their issues as well. I had a 3 series loved the car in every way, within 3 years half of the interior started peeling off. If you want proof, just google BMW 3 series peeling off problems. Now, would you say it was worth 20k more than a mustang? Hell no. 5-10k? Maybe.
I love the part when talking about the BMW headlights and the camera pans eloquently along the front of the car making sure to crop out the headlights and instead, do something you wouldn't expect, and focus on the bumper. And at 10:18, the Lincoln what? Think you're reviewing an Aviator. Stay focused. Finally please stop holding that decibel meter in our faces because the camera never focuses. It never has and the more you keep holding it up doing the same thing, it never will. In all seriousness though thanks for your reviews/comparisons.
Man it's like - 10 out there dude is doing a video. Respect
You can actually see his mouth freezing lol
Thanks for pointing that out, I have already edited from the video, I had said Corsair like 6 times lol. It's just processing.
@@johnnybegood2078 I'm just ribbing him a little but I said I do appreciate the work too. Especially like you say, with it being freezing cold out there.
@@SamCarLegion I know. Just kidding. Thanks for your work.
What I like is during the sound test the roof shade on the X7 is closed and the Aviator's is open. Those of you that have had vehicles with a panoramic roof know that when the shades are closed the interior is quieter. Also it is clear this guy knows nothing about audio. Revel is actually owned buy Harmon International. It is their premium brand. The 28 speaker Revel system smokes that of the HC in the X7. As for the cargo area.. explain to me how having to do 2 functions (upper and lower portions) to access less storage is better? Do yourself a favor.. test the Lincoln before spending a lot more $$ on the X7.
When you close the shade the db level goes down by .5 db not even. I have done 100 of tests on cars, you clearly don't understand the idea behind an cabin noise test. Also, yes I did know about Revel, and I don't understand your point at all?
I own the Aviator Black label and it has all of the features the tester here is lacking and more. Only wish I would’ve got the Black Label Grand Touring to get all that extra power.
I thought that's hybrid that gets the extra power
The fact you can pick up Lincoln Aviators in the $35k range for the gas only models makes it an insane value EVEN if you have to buy an extended warranty because reliability is crap like other Euro cars. That's assuming you don't care for showing off or flexing BMW or Mercedes badges.
Biased to the core. No BMW for me. Holy shit dude.
Bmw X7 50i ❤️ !
V8 twin turbo 😳
Sam CarLegion, you know the funny thing is that is a single turbo, that’s why they call it twin power turbo.
But either way, it’s wonderful, and when modified (depending what you do) it it gives it 550 hp easily, making it go 0-60 in 4 seconds! It’s a lot of fun 😃
Yes you are correct, twin power turbo. I wish they had one to review.
Lincoln very very good
Test drove both ended up buying the aviator no contest the ventilated and massaging seats for 20 grand less lots of extra technology on a BMW most people will never use
Congratulations
Yeah cause ppl who wanted sedans at that time are fully grown and have families now!😂🤣 just like me!😂🤣
That aviator is purty
The X7 from the back does seem a lot higher though.
Aviator has approach detection which lowers the car when approached with a key. That along with the Aviators sloping rear end is what you're seeing
There's more head room in the X7 as well.
Are y’all bmw fanboys too?
@@JavierLiera3 junk
yes, and this is not good
Lincoln does have a tablet. It is optional. It is called Lincoln play. The bmws is optional also.
Not in Canada I looked everywhere.
Ok
Those powered second row seats on X7 are the worst, it takes for ever to move forward if you are getting into the third row, I would have bought it if it had a manual option on it as well just for emergency situations.
Sure I'll take extra horsepower, and more space, forfeit the auto sun shade and a few control buttons I don't want my kids playing with in the 2nd row for less money lol
Aviator!
um no review on the 3rd row seats okay..
That grill on the BMW 😳 i think the camera adds 10 inches
Compare them at or near the same pricepoints. This was similiar to comparing a new Discovery loaded to a 2wd Rav 4 base. Apples to Apples please.
Sometimes is good to compare apples to oranges to see which tastes better or which is sweeter or softer :) at the end they are both fruits.
well they do seem to actually be apples to apples, as you say. the only thing thats not comparable is the price.
Aviator. All the way. Best looking SUV ever.
And why did the guy park so close together lol
If we’re talking x7 money? Might as well get a navigator. When it comes to these two? Aviator all day long.
The Navigator can't fit in most places, the X7 fits everywhere.
Sam CarLegion it’s a rare case.
I think these two are withing similar range. Price wise not so much. But hey, the X7 costs more because it offers more.
@@SamCarLegion I can list at least 10 features that Aviator offers that X7 doesn't. Plus Aviator does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds. X7 does it in 6.1 seconds. Aviator ride is a lot smoother - has the best road purview system in the market, period. The Revel audio system is way better than X7's. The Aviator seat massage feature is out of the world! And it costs 30-40K lesser - in the introduction you mislead the viewer stating they cost about the same. This is not even close. Aviator FTW!
Sam CarLegion i guess you just don’t know how to drive bigger vehicles. Would love to see you drive a pick up truck that’s what a nav feels like and trust me, I can park that shit anywhere.
You care too much what people think, just do these videos bud and let people bark like dogs. I am sure some rich person will probably cross shop these two.
Indeed
M3ForLife Yeah, you don’t know dick. Lincoln doesn’t even come on the radar for me and most other people with money unless you are above 75 years old. Porsche and Mercedes as well as the full size Range are its competition. No one drives these Lincoln’s in my area in Charlotte where there are at least 500 millionaires in a 5 mile radius. Never seen one damn Lincoln.
Speaking Truths - You don't know dick! There was a time when Lincoln and Cadillac were kings of the road! Mercedes and BMW were ugly plastic compact cars.
the man doing the review is obviously struggling to portray the x7 better by brazenly misleading on some of the features. for example, the 2nd row seats do have optional (maybe standard by now) power sliding 2nd row seat feature thats the same as x7. He must know that. but states the Lincoln doesn't have it. the truth is the particular car he is testing doesn't have it. but its available.
Same thing with the folding flat seats. the second row on the lincoln has a power slide forward option. not sure if the "power " lay flat feature available on second row seat. but i know they can lay flat by switch on side of the seats. Anyway, the difference in operation between the two cars seats is negligible. But this review is such that the "ignorant" would think the x7 is vastly better in that regard. But in fairness to this man, he is reviewing the two cars in the parking lot of the bmw dealer. I think his name would be "mud" with that dealer if he did a comparison with a competitors product on their premises where the competitor vehicle came out favorably. I am sure he'd be declared persona non grata if he didn't do his best to put their x7 thing in the best light he could
Lincoln for ever
bmw sure isnt what it used to be. they're built like crap and spend half they're life and yours in the service area. they don't have that rock solid feel it used to. save the money and buy American
Those are lies I have a bmw f20 it’s really good
