This is a Motormouth couple car review of the Lincoln Aviator PHEV, a 3-row mid-size SUV with electrification and lots of power. The Lincoln Aviator PHEV is loaded with features and has a starting price of $85,400 CAD/$69,190 USD. In Canada, there is just one trim, but you can add some extra features, our test model is priced at $101,130 CAD. In the US, there are two trims, the top Black Label Grand Touring model is $89,280 USD.
Here’s what comes standard in the Aviator, a 10.1” touchscreen with Sync 3, a 12.3” digital instrument cluster, wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a wireless charger, 360-degree camera, heated and ventilated power front seats, driver seat memory, premium leather upholstery, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated rear seats, a panoramic sunroof, 14 speaker Revel Audio system, Lincoln Connect, 2nd row Captain’s chairs, power fold third row seats, forward and rear parking sensors and ambient lighting.
The Aviator has a smooth and comfortable drive, a quiet cabin and softer suspension. The EV range isn’t great at 34 km/21 miles, we used it up quite quickly. It gets about 713 km/460 miles of overall range.
This is a beast when it comes to power especially with a combined 630 lb-ft of torque, however I found the power delivery to be a bit unrefined at times depending on the drive mode you choose. There are plenty of modes including Excite which is my favourite, Preserve EV designed to sustain the existing charge and Pure EV which is all electric driving. You do hear the gas engine come on in Pure EV when accelerating quickly or passing on the highway.
The Grand Touring is powered by a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 with a hybrid system and a 10-speed automatic transmission, it gets a combined 494 horsepower, standard AWD and has a 13.8 kWh battery.
With a full battery, the Aviator gets 4.2Le/100 km, 56 MPGe and when the battery is depleted, 10.3L/100km, 23 MPG combined.
The Lincoln Aviator qualifies for a tax credit in the US up to $6,534 but is not eligible for the Federal rebate in Canada.

My wife has had a loaded Aviator since early Covid. Silver with 22” rims - no air ride.
Been an exceptional vehicle. Zero issues other than normal consumer recall updates that get handled during oil changes.
It is a quick, very comfortable ride & exceptional in the snow.
Switchgear becomes very intuitive as an owner. We test drove a Macan S & GTS on the weekend (excellent cars) Thinking that will be her retirement vehicle.
Eyeballing another new Aviator with air ride & Jet pkg. We’ll see……..very happy with the Lincoln & dealer experience
Got one recently. 2023 Grand touring. Great vehicle! On a 300 mile trip in Normal mode I averaged 27.2 mpg. Very happy.
I am a huge fan of Lincoln’s stately presence. Much more than anything from Cadillac. In fact, one of the first cars I drove was my parents Continental Mk IV. Well… “borrowed”. But only a few times. They called it… “stealing” (akin to joyriding). They hardly ever let me drive another of one their cars by myself, until I got married to my Wife. That was a special day indeed, as they finally let me drive their Lincoln Towncar (Signature Series) from Golden Lake to the Church in Eganville, Ontario nearly a decade later. Lesson learned, I suppose. I have continued to have a soft spot for (most) Lincolns since. Great review guys. Thanks for the video.
It looks so old, and it reminds me of my Sega console I had when I was a child.
Enjoyable, interesting and informative video as always. Thank you both!
I’m now seeing where Honda got it’s inspiration for the new Accord’s taillight.
A good time as always. Thanks
Great review as always, guys. I own a 21 Reserve 2 gas model. Love it. Had 3 Grand Cherokees before, liked them, but this thing really scoots. Am disappointed the new GC's still have the old Pentastar engine. Not enough power to compete with the Aviator and costs almost as much. I wish the 23 Aviator had Sync 4. Keep up the good work.
Awesome review guys!! Lincoln exterior looks very nice! They improved on the boxy look and made it more modern-looking. They took some chances on some of the controls but I think some people would have a hard time adjusting to these.
I have a bad case of the flu today. Thank you for keeping me entertained.
Hope you feel better soon especially in time for the holiday season.
For costing over 85k thank goodness they included LED head lights & tail lights 🤣
Great review. Very entertaining as per usual. This boat lol is not my cup of tea but it sure looks luxurious. All the best to those that buy it. 👍
Finally, the long-awaited, full driving review of the 2023 year model of the Lincoln Aviator here.
After viewing this, I may be paying a visit to my local Lincoln dealer.
I also find the JD Power Reliability scores iand the Hot Topic comment interesting. I have to say, I was raised in a typical “Ford and GM ONLY” American family. However, we had several Ford and GM products in succession and not a single one made it to 100k miles without suffering major engine, transmission and electrical problems. However, we now own Volvos and a Land Rover and all of them have been far more reliable than our previous American cars. (Yes, you read that right. My Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L Turbo runs like a top with 90k miles on it). I’m interested to see how well the new Lincolns hold up
I've had a Cavalier that had all minor problems over the nearly 270k kms I owned it. I bought it used and traded with over 300k kms. The body and transmission were starting to show wear.
My 14 Cruze(which I sold at 320k kms) with the dreaded 1.4l turbo engine, was more like playing wack a mole with coolant and oil leaks. The two major repairs were a cat converter(it wasn't involved but it was expensive), and a head gasket. Both happened at well over 200k kms. The worst electrical gremlins were a bad coolant sensor and the trunk release.
My parent's Civic has just been the pillar of reliability. It has quirks but very few minor problems and it has about 280k kms on it.
The Discovery is ussually the most reliable Land Rover. Range Rovers have worse records. The Defender is having teething problems but I think they should be fine once those issues are resolved.
@@ghenry85 when Garbage Motors sold the Chevy Cadaver, it set the bar as low as it could ever possibly go. It was their unintentional version of the Yugo.
@@jrs9264 I've heard that the early Cavalier were bad. Mine was a 99 with the 2200 pre ecotec. It was slow, but fairly reliable. Never left me stranded.
I have push button Transmission in my 2015 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and love it. Very reliable also the only thing I've had to do was regular maintenance. If Lincoln still made Sedans I'd get another one. Their loss lol
Test drove this and the BMW X5e. Liked the Lincoln a lot but Purchased the BMW because of longer EV range (31 miles ) and even with added options to the BMW it was cheaper to purchase because of the larger tax credit.
I live in a small city and generally don't drive more than 20 miles going to work or the grocery store or whatever. I think almost any PHEV would work well for my needs. I have a friend who has a Chevy Volt and he said he rarely needs to use more than the EV range in a similar situation.
holy crap... 630 lb of torque!!!! love the color... i like this suv of all the models, even though they all look very very similiar. I think the size is perfect
Excellent review guys. I'm going to be in the market soon for a new vehicle and I've been looking in this segment. Reliability is a contentious issue but, anecdotally, over my 50 years of vehicle ownership I've found the Asian manufacturers to be less trouble prone than domestic (I've bought new from many manufacturers and lived in Europe for a while). One thing I'm curious about is PHEV performance in a typical Canadian winter, ie temps in the -20c/-30c range. Apparently, according to the forums, the 4xe has a lot of issues when the temperature falls below -15c.
Great review guys. We have a 2021 Sienna AWD and it realistically gets about 31mpg in mixed driving. There are a lot of Toyota cost-cutting things we are annoyed with on the van, while we do like it overall. This Aviator PHEV might be a fun step up in terms of luxury, power and even fuel economy (we don’t average more than 20-30 miles per day.) You guys didn’t touch on the cameras and parking, how are those features? My wife does love the visibility and ease of maneuvering the Sienna.
Hoping that when we see the Ford Explorer version of this platform that they make it available with the ST trim.
I like it too Zack, my dogs name is HR Lincoln. The HR is for Hot Rod. He's a bad ass Border Terrier.
I think the Lexus RX plug-in hybrid is to die for 😍😭🔥
@@naveenthemachine it’s better then every PHEV that was mentioned on this list 🙄
See, this is why you need to come to the Chicago Auto show, in the land of Lincoln! ;) Another great review!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Chicago is such a great city, we had so much fun when we were there.
Greetings from oakville Ontario I understand that the Vancouver auto show has been suspended and Calgary did the same as hope Chicago doesn't Feb 8th or Toronto thanks for the presentation
They wanted people to know....this is a 'grown-up' SUV.
It looks amazing and has lots of tech. That screen placement seems peculiar.
For someone looking for plush luxury with comfortable seating for 5 I think this could work.
Thank you for another entertaining review...well done Mr & Mrs S.
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it!
Very luxurious and expensive but Lincoln traditionally has no resale value. The best one to buy is one that is a couple years old and save at least 60 plus % of the original cost.
Love USA and Lincoln 💞😍💞💞 from Pakistan
I had a ‘64 Dodge Dart with a pushbutton transmission.
The push button shifter in those Lincolna are easy to understand at the very least. There's no guess work on how they work. My biggest complaint with them is you have reach quite far to touch them and the tend to be hidden somewhat. Otherwise, the Aviator is nice vehicle, not something I would want to buy, but that's not stopping me from liking them.
Soon you’ll be able to lump the CX-90 phev into the mix of 3 row plugins.
My only critique is about the constant trash talk about PHEV range.
People have to remember, this isn't a BEV. It's a PHEV, it isn't intended to get super extended range. The intent is to help people start moving to electric, while having benefit of not having range anxiety.
By nature of being a PHEV, it will immediately start give the majority of daily commuters and errand runners, the benefit electric without burning a ton of gas and idling. Unlike BEV, a PHEV vehicle has a smaller Carbon footprint to produce, of the life of the vehicle. It would take well over 200,00 KM for a BEV to catch up to the PHEV carbon reduction over the life of the vehicle. This is because their moderately sized battery packs reduce production phase greenhouse gas emissions compared to battery-electric vehicles. They also enable a limited supply of battery minerals to electrify a larger fleet, reducing the sustainability concerns around extracting sufficient amounts of minerals for a large fleet of battery-electric vehicles.
The majority of Daily commuters are well within the electric range of a PHEV.
Dare I point out the large number of BEV's that were trapped on the roads with drained batteries in last month snow fall. Don't get me wrong, I love BEV's, but people need to be practical when comparing PHEV to BEV battery range, when using the PHEV as intended.
IMHO
Love your channel and look forward to more content
I'm glad they didn't go with the knob for shifting, buttons are okay.
Каждый раз кайфую от твоих игр) получается офигенно, выкладывай еще!!!
Not bad vehicle but looks the looks of seats that looks like a pillow seat. I am surprise it’s can’t make Andrea comfortable! 😞 Too big and too pricey. Great to have a few good laughs. 👍🏻👍🏻 Awesome video Andrea! ☕️☕️
Yes, the seats are very soft but I couldn't seem to get the right adjustment to make them really comfortable for myself. Glad you liked the review, thanks for watching.
@@andreaspencer9813 You are an very welcome Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
Do you have a review for the 2023 volvo XC90 PHEV?
Чето я торможу))) ни разу не залетал еще! Надо срочно влететь попробовать))
поначалу мне не везло, но потом я выкупил как тут тащить) сейчас уже в офигенном окупе)
How did you find the headroom in front seats? Didn’t look great, but that could be camera angle. I’m 6’3 and have one of these in order - now a little worried!
Question: I'm in the U.S. and I'm interested in purchasing the Kia Sportage lx hybrid. Is it worth buying the 23 model over the 22 or do you think there aren't really that much of a difference to justify the price increase of the 23?
If you can get a 2022 model, buy the 2022 for less. It's not worth going for the 2023 model and paying extra.
По первости ругался на этот сайт, но потом как-то разыгрался и уже кайфую с окупом)
I ❤️American car
Nicest thing I can think to say about the Aviator? Zach nailed the timing on that notification bell!
КЛАСС! Пасибо за эмоции) посмотрел с кайфиком)
In the long term, how will the battery hold up? What will the cost for the battery replacement?
I asked previously for the BMW plug-in if I can get 7 seats with it and they informed me it's not possible as the battery take the space of the two seats.
Lincoln and ford build amazing cars.
It feels so old-fashioned that the Lincoln Aviator has sliding chairs in the back seat.
I wish one of these videos show how you play music in these cars 🚘
Please review the new Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid 2024
Because companies pay J.D. Power licensing fees, there are situations in which J.D. Power is making money off the very companies it’s ranking. This possible conflict of interest is something competitor "Consumer Reports" addressed in a May 2020 article. The article called attention to the fact that J.D. Power charges fees for companies to access survey results, mention the firm in ads, and participate in the Certified Customer Service Program. J.D. power gave gas version of this car a 75 for reliability, Consumer report ranks the same car below average. Not hating just the facts.
EVERY company pays JD Power for the information it collects, what we see is only a fraction of what it collects. If it was that easy to buy your way to the top, how come Land Rover and some others are always at the bottom? makes zero sense. Consumer reports actually gets funding from the Ford Foundation...
Как ты рулишь своей игрой) просто суперкайфово смотреть))) чисто все под контролем держишь) круто😀
So I as from the perspective of someone who has owned vehicles with a screen placed lower on the dashboard and a vehicle with the screen coming out of the dashboard I completely disagree with you. When you are in a city that you don’t know and are using the maps the screen coming out of the dash puts the maps in line of sight for the driver, when you look at it the road is still in your vision but when it’s placed lower it forces your eyes off the road to look at the maps. In my opinion even though the tablet coming out of the dash is not so pleasing to the eye it is much safer to use for the driver. I think that the automakers could do a better job of integrating the tablet into the higher location as most vehicles look as if it is a afterthought.
Pure EV power Andrea and Pure luxury both outside of the car as well as the interia. But does it stack up in terms of affordability?
These luxury plug-in hybrids are very expensive and don't offer a lot of EV range. They are definitely not an affordable option but if they are within your budget and you can plug it in throughout the day between trips, you may be able to have a fairly clean drive and bring your fuel economy numbers down. Obviously, it's much better than the gas model.
@Andrea Spencer Very well explained Andrea as I'm considering my next lease car scheduled delivery July 2023. For me some kind of electrification is going to be the way to go I think as you say in terms of keeping gas ⛽️ price consumption in check.
Great review. The old Chrysler products had push button transmissions. I really like this Lincoln.
PHEV’s are of little value to me in that I use the electric range rather quickly in my daily use. The price difference between this and the standard hybrid does not pencil out
Me too, but I know of people that the PHEV could work out and so I see the PHEV allure. It may be also seem worthwhile to some who desire more performance than the normal hybrid while getting better gas milage than the gas only. My favorite example is the Rav4 Prime. Do you buy to drive to work on EV or do you buy it because it's faster than the regular hybrids? Both reasons can hold true.
@@ghenry85 i currently drive a PHEV and the stated range when I purchased it was 21 miles. I’ve never gotten more than 16. It’s 21 degrees outside right now and I’ll get 9 miles if I’m lucky.
@@PapaDougsAdventures01 Yeah I believe you and that sucks. Reduced range in cold temperatures is expected(since heaters use alot of power, batteries don't like cold etc). But not being able to achieve near the range advertised in any conditions? That's bad.
My 14 Cruze rarely achieved it's gas economy figure, even in summer driving. It wasn't even bad on gas, but not as good as gm said.
My 22 Rav4 Hybrid(non hybrid) blows the epa ratings out of the water in the summer and is not doing too bad in winter driving(which epa doesn't account for). My worst trip was going to work in a snow storm and got 7.3l per 100kms. The almost 10g(over my LE) premium for the Prime(which has more features I simply don't care about) didn't make sense in my driving. The ev mode would run out just before I get to work and there's no plug at work. So it would just be for the performance boost in my case, which isn't important to me.
Sorry for rambling on. I understand your disappointment.
Lincoln and Cadillac are fairly reliable yes, but they don't age very well. Compare the state of any of them to, say, a MB equivalent and you'll see rust and age for sure.
I think Zack is a bit out of his mind lol @13:38 you mention your wife's mother right in front of her. Hope your not sleeping in the garage tonight
I loooove this car it has all the features that I am looking for except that it out of my budget (about 93k US$ in my country)
We only have a 3.0 L v6 twin turbo with 400 HP
17:56 Also, for all of you haters out there, notice where the Korean brands are. Yes, this Lincoln is nice and I'm not knocking it, but for the price, I'd rather get a Kia Sorento SX PHEV.
All that list tells us is that every make is very reliable in first 3 years.
Kia at 1.45 problems per car vs say jeep at bottom at 2 problems per car essentially is the same thing? Also dodge at 1.66. Most people would say that brand sucks.
Ummm what about Rivian R1S?
Wish there was just plain Hybrid model.
“Just let it move…….” 😂
Please, give me a break, the prejudice comes from experience. I had a Ford, always broke down, and you had to wait weeks for it to get repaired, had a Chrysler which engine always stalled, even after multiple fixes, and the only hire car that ever broke down on me was a Dodge.
There is no 3rd row in the BMW X5 45e.
You guys hated the whole idea of a phev during the x5 45 review yet you like this one? Not sure I follow
We mentioned they all suck at EV range but if you want one (your choice), this is an option...
@@Motormouth... I see. I think you’re missing the point of a phev. Most people I know don’t travel more than 30 miles a day - and most of that is slow moving traffic. Perfect for a phev. Then you have the convenience of an ICE engine for long trips. If a phev has much more than maybe 30 miles of range it’s probably a waste of batteries. Do you guys really drive long distances every day?
It’s weird that they screwed the Explorer over so much.
Lincoln and Ford have greater differentiation than the average “car fan” will acknowledge. The Aviator has a completely different suspension (multi link vs strut) and supposedly the two teams do not work together. Other details (Lincoln mounts mirrors in door, Explorer in the sail).
when the ford parts start to wear out and you go to sell then you get the true LINCOLN EXPERIENCE........................LOW RESALE VALUE they make a good hearse by then I wont care
Traditional shifter is ideal but if you are going away from that, buttons like Lincoln or a column shifter to free up console space makes sense. Rotary dial or all the other gimmicky shifter alternatives just waste space.
I love the look, but the price is ridiculous, and Consumer Reports gives it and the similar Ford Explorer PHEV a 'not recommended' score because of the drivetrain and transmission that jerks it around and takes most of the smoothness you pay that hefty price for away.
Co-Pilot365 - no 5 days off.
CoPilot 365 and 24/7.
That screen looks like something from “toys r us” how do the designers get this so wrong!
I didn’t think I was the only one who thought it looks like an “Etch-a-Sketch”.
I, like a lot of people, think that a Lincoln is the most desirable car I will never buy. I think it looks terrific but, with so much chassis and cargo area, why would they put in such a tiny battery? Skimpy range and no rebate eligibility??? They could take a lesson from Mitsubishi.
...no reaction?!
Wired android auto/ car play? Yikes, did they accidentally copy Hyundai?
28 speakers *
32 KMs of EV range. Is that supposed to be a joke ???
only GV80... the best
This will be 10k in 7 years
Someone is thinking about buying Vingast for $75k? Lol. Lol. Never for that price. There is no legacy/heritage in the.brand. Someone will get screwed on that.
I definately would never buy a start up brand at that price.... and especially not an EV on top of that. I will consider EV in 10 years, when the replacement batteries are affordable and less than $5,000 CAD.
No thanks. Can't get into Ev.
I unfortunately have to say that the Lincoln Aviator looks like a big-mouthed frog🐸 from the back.
I think it looks like a cheapo chevy minivan from the back.
Lincoln is garbage. Had two of them. Transmissions are horrible, very unrefined, stutter a lot. Was thrilled when i traded in my Nautilus Black Label, it was way overpriced and under performed.
Horrible, what's the problem ? They jerk when shifting from park to reverse ? Or Drive to reverse ? Please explain, could this be an isolated problem with the the you had ?
