Ford is not playing around. Lincoln resale values were higher than Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Cadillac last year, this is big for Lincoln because it shows that their image is improving.
Most of the Ford lineup isn't very competitive just now but the new Lincolns are really well done. Years ago, I thought they were just going to turn into a concierge service.
I've read several owners complaining about major issues with their new Aviators. If I was in the market, I'd wait until next year's model to purchase one of these. People are reporting transmission and engine problems within 3-5 days from what I recall. Guess that's what happens when you rush build something....
@@jordanchopra5038 that's because Fords shitty CEO jim Hackett decided to rush to retool an old assembly plant in a year (retooling takes years). So now all the new explorers and aviators have problems
IMO Lincoln is making the best designed crossovers and SUVs on the market. The Navigator, Aviator and Corsair are beautifully designed on the outside and especially the interior. I love how the Lincoln badge lights up gradually as you approach. Awesome!!
@@robertjones7565 What is "stunning" is the MSRP of a top trim Explorer that pushes or exceeds $60K, especially considering that a moderately optioned Reserve trim Aviator has an MSRP under $65K.
*Shhhh* you're gonna trigger the know it all GM fanboys. 🤣🤣🤣 Although I must say Cadillac has redeemed themselves after seeing the new Escalade , that interior is incredibly impressive.
truth yeah they did but that's really it from Cadillac that opened their eyes and listen that's really one of the good vehicles the other will be the CT6
I saw this used on the lot when I was truck shopping with my husband and my jaw dropped. It is so incredibly beautiful. I want one so bad. Every time I see it driving on the streets my head whips around to do a double take.
Glad you got rid of the montage at the beginning. I know that must have been hard because it always had good music but I love how you get right to the reviews now
We just bought a fully loaded Reserve model this weekend when we planned on just looking at this vehicle and the Cadillac XT6. We had no intention of buying anything until this summer. After test driving the Aviator we were hooked! We went back to the dealership afterwards to test drive the XT6. Big mistake! Immediately after sitting in the XT6 there was no comparison. The Cadillac felt cheaper and less luxurious than the Lincoln. The general manager came out and asked if I was planning to test drive the XT6 after just having test driven the Aviator. He said don’t even bother. Nothing will change your mind and get you to consider buying the XT6 after driving it. He informed us that they have been selling about 5 Lincolns (Navigator/Aviator) for every Cadillac (Escalade/XT6). The dealership was a huge one that sold Lincoln, Cadillac, and Chevy in their respective buildings. He even said many people have been trading in their Cadillacs to get into the Lincolns. As far as the quality, craftsmanship, and build I have been completely floored by the way Lincoln has elevated their game! We traded in a 2003 Navigator that I was the original owner of. Back then it was amazing. But the difference since then has been leaps and bounds. We’ve even owned a 2013 Cadillac SRX and a 2013 CTS-V and again the quality, build, craftsmanship, and luxury are vastly different in the current Aviator! Lincoln has hit a home run with this vehicle! As far as the wind noise and rattles that you experienced, our vehicle didn’t have any issues when we drove it 180 miles home from where we purchased it from. I know after having purchased at least 10 different new vehicles in the past that some vehicles may inherently have some issues that are only present every now and then and seem to be outliers from the rest. Awesome review, BTW!
Was studying for a board exam and this video popped up on my notification. Paused my study for 30 minutes for this video 😂 The @Sofyan Bey effect is affecting me😂😂
I have a 2004 Aviator California Special (CS) with 70K on it. It has been a wonderful SUV that rides so smooth and purrs like a cat with its Mustang Bulitt engine. Looking forward to one day adding this gorgeous SUB to my garage. Thank you!
Lincoln parked a demo one of these outside the entrance of my gym over the summer and they are impressive in person. The interior is absolutely gorgeous and sitting in it definitely feels like they're on that BMW/Benz level. Love that there's a higher end option that doesn't come with German reliability issues
I hope Lincoln and Ford have resolved those quality control issues that really plagued the first batches of new Aviators and Explorers that were sold late in 2019.
Absolutely love the new Aviator. If I were in the market for an SUV, the Aviator Black Label would be very high on my list. Love where lincoln is going.
Love it... beautiful elegant styling, top-notch interior and distinctive without being over-the-top, flashy or shouting "look at me" like that new Genesis SUV hitting the streets soon.
K C never speak Ill of a genesis, this thing could never, the genesis will offer more tech better build quality and a a more luxurious interior and it’ll beat this things price by 10-15k easily.
The seats take hours/days of driving to get them to where you want them but when you do, they’re insanely comfortable. There’s no such thing as Reserve 2, it’s called a Reserve with 202A equipment package and this one has the Dynamic Handling package ( air suspension), for those watching this that are serious about looking at buying.
Lincoln: "let's make rwd suvs!" Also Lincoln: "let's make the continental concept that everyone loved fwd and take away everything that made it special!"
Loyal Gm/Cadillac buyer here, but have to say this absolutely eats the XT6's lunch. Caddy had better be doing an emergency overhaul for 2021. This is a very beautiful American SUV.
You know what I love about this gorgeous vehicle?? The fact that it has a fucking normal sized grill and not obnoxiously FUGLY like most. God dammit Lincoln this thing is fucking gorgeous.
Every car at this point should come with a heads up display, that displays Navigation, speed, and IR night vision. IR night vision is probably the most underrated feature that people don't realize is a huge benefit when your night driving.
Lincoln has made some great looking vehicles. The Aviator is one of their best designs, from front to back it just oozes luxury. Unfortunately with my wallet I can’t afford one but it’s still a vehicle I would love to own.
Lincoln absolutely KILLED IT with the Aviator, the one thing I have to say is why is that shade and style of leather seat straight of 2005 14:11. I bet it changed with different colors, but that is just hilarious
Overall a good review - Would've been 1/2 as long if you hadn't used the word "Ford" 752 times... Yes it's made by Ford Motor Company, but it's a Lincoln... Hopefully you and other reviewers will stop comparing Ford to Lincoln - unless of course you do the same with Toyota (Land Cruiser) vs Lexus (LX); Cadillac (Escalade) vs GMC (Denali) vs Chevy (Tahoe) etc. Some of these vehicles are so similar, you've only been able to tell the difference - by the price tag... I doubt FoMoCo would develop a Lincoln to be in competition with a Ford product. So please compare FoMoCo products to comparable other auto brands and not with each other.
Bought a black label. Love it. Biggest difference is captain chair second row is not really available in a lot of brands. Also bang for the buck. Agree that the 30 way seats can be annoying at times. Especially for guests.
I 100 % agree with you about that screen I noticed it before you even mention it. It would absolutely drive me insane. I think you are fantastic.. Love all the reviews
A strong buy, if you keep it in the $60-70k range Once you cross $75k or so, it isn't ready to mess with the X5-X7/GLE/new Escalade when it comes to swag Not eager to spend over $70k on a Lincoln
Lincoln has improved their vehicles more than any car company exterior and interior except maybe Mazda. Right now the Navigator is killing the Escalade in sales and i have heard no issues about reliability
Samual Jones maybe it drives sportier but not nicer. Honestly this and an X5 don’t even really compete. The aviator is clearly bigger. Not everyone wants an m package truck lol in fact most ppl in the market for a full size SUV want something that drives looks and acts like a boulevard cruiser. Textbook American luxury. I don’t need 500 HP in my crossover. The aviator is more than fine and I’ll keep 30k to myself
Beautifully designed, inside and out! Lincoln finally understands the importance of good design and it's paying off. It's kind of odd, to me, that the plug-in hybrid model tows even less than the standard ttV6. I would be hard pressed to pick between this and the new Genesis GV80.
When you gunned it and said, “Oof!” I was laughing hysterically because yes, this thing has some pick-up and go, maybe a bit too much. My mother just bought one and as a passenger in the front seat I’m almost always a bit car sick because every time she accelerates the thing accelerates so fast my stomach flips! 😆 I have driven it as well and I still get a bit car sick even driving, lol. This thing can go! Overall it’s a really nice car but you are spot on with the slightly poor seat comfort and small third row seat.
In reality, this car is also partly developed by germans. Ford has a pretty large European division in the UK and Germany working on the Focus ST and Lincoln's V6 powertrain. They benchmarked the german competition, and possibly even poached a few guys from European Luxury brands to make this car. I love the new Corsair though. That's probably gonna be my next car to lease.
You should let people know that the XT6 you refer to at 76K is loaded (though its engine can't compare with the Lincoln even at that level). There are variants of the XT6 that start at the mid 50's as well.
I just wanted to let u and your camera man or lady know yall do great work. I look to yall for all my car reviews. You give all the right info and I love the bloopers. Oh and when you drive super fast your reactions are priceless 🤣🤣🤣
At least your intro plug was auto related and not garbage watches. Great comment about the GV80 at the end btw 👍 imagine if the XT6 wasn’t a terrible rush job but instead had the new Escalades interior!
My late father always wanted a Lincoln. For once I will be happy acting like him by driving this thing. Not to mention that all other things being equal, I prefer American feel to German. But yes, when Genesis GV80 comes out, it will be one stiff competitor.
Will the Lincoln Aviator take flight ??? Well executed exterior & interior ! Two thumbs UP !!! Sofyan Bey, yet another well done vid reviewing Aviator ... Slainte' ! Cheers !
damn! haven't heard the name 'Saab' for a very long time! hope some auto giants can bring it back alive! anyways... Lincoln have finally turned around the design language
Not sure if i agree with the "scaled down version" of the navigator comment. To me, this looks soooo much better than the navigator and just about every other offering in this segment. This is a stunning vehicle. Im not a fan of SUVs or Lincoln in general i might add
Perfect title. Lincoln Aviator ready to challenge “Zee Germans” *not* “Zee Cadillac XT6”, which this vehicle doesn’t directly compete with. They’re going after two entirely different customers and compete directly in two separate markets.

720k subs you guys are almost there!... I remember from 300k to now 720k😅☝️👍
You didn’t do the Continental.
Will you be testing the Grand Touring version soon?
You mentioned that this Lincoln was a comparison to the Volvo XC90 .. Which of the two would you buy if it were your money and why?

@Dora Is Stupid Lexus cannot compare to the Aviator, it would be unfair for the Lexus.
Loving Lincoln’s new design language! Finally getting back to what a LINCOLN’s used to be! Sharp vehicle! 💯
IMO Lincoln is making the best designed crossovers and SUVs on the market. The Navigator, Aviator and Corsair are beautifully designed on the outside and especially the interior. I love how the Lincoln badge lights up gradually as you approach. Awesome!!
Front still needs development
Had to leave a Doug Demuro Oldsmobile video for this.
D Tay I was just watching that!!!
Same here 😂😂
Me too
Hahah same here
you guys still watch that industry plant?
When the gv80 comes out you’ve gotta compare them
The GV80 isnt in the same size category though
Can't wait for that video!
@@joecool9739 Technically it is, you can get a third row in the GV80
Jay Trabucco yeah and Genesis prices they’re cars less than the competition which makes a good deal
@@joecool9739 The Aviator is slightly longer by about 5 inches but you can compare the two :)
The Aviator is a stunning vehicle in person. I’ve seen 2 in person. Lincoln really did that!🔥
The MSRP is also stunning...lol.
@@robertjones7565 What is "stunning" is the MSRP of a top trim Explorer that pushes or exceeds $60K, especially considering that a moderately optioned Reserve trim Aviator has an MSRP under $65K.
Dream car
@@stephenhendricks103 go drive an ST Explorer. It's worth it. 11k miles later and still the best vehicle I've ever owned.
@@kilo3-186 If you think the ST "worth it, " I won't argue with you. But if it is, the Lincoln Aviator for about $4-$5K more is a real bargain.
Sees interior
*XT6 has left the chat*
Ford craps all over GM in terms of interior quality.
Nicholas Artuso Savage!

Although I must say Cadillac has redeemed themselves after seeing the new Escalade , that interior is incredibly impressive.
truth yeah they did but that's really it from Cadillac that opened their eyes and listen that's really one of the good vehicles the other will be the CT6
Give Lincoln all of their things!!! This is how you do it. Bold, sleek, comfort and high quality
Even if I was My Grandfather I would want this Aviator. Love the Name, the style, the interior and the materials.
"Three-row Crossover" oh jeez how far we have come
I saw this used on the lot when I was truck shopping with my husband and my jaw dropped. It is so incredibly beautiful. I want one so bad. Every time I see it driving on the streets my head whips around to do a double take.
Me: How much is it?
Wallet: NO!
hahahahahaha
Just here to see if the door has a “solid thunk.”
Then you are at right place!! Its "phunk", by the way!
Just here to see if he giggles during the 0-60 test 🙌🏻
Me and my grandfather have been watching you for years! We always watch your reviews before we make a purchase. Keep the good work up! :)

Taylor Montgomery me too...get to the info already 🤘🏾
It's TH-cam. You could've just skipped past it! SMH
Most def
Seat designers: How many ways do you want the seats to move?
Lincoln: YES
Amirmasoud Sepehr lol love it
This is one of the best looking midsize luxury SUV in it's segment thanks for the review sofyan been waiting for this one
Wait until you see it in person.
Great review. As an owner of the 2020 Aviator you hit on all the best points of the car.
I'm supposed to take delivery of a CPO 2020 Aviator Black Label this week. Can I ask what your experience has been like?
@@ThomasFerrugiawell ... How's your experience ?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH SOFYAN FOR REVIEWING MY FAVORITE
The best offring from Lincoln yet Nice to see Lincoln getting back on its feet again
This car looks SO GOOD in person. I’d take this over any of the competition. Lincoln has finally made an American luxury car I’d be proud to own.
Had an 05 Aviator back in th day, excellent luxury automobile. I'm glad Lincoln decided to bring these back.
Way better than any Cadillac
And any BMW. They're overrated cars.
There's other reviews but not as good as yours thank you for the amazing work. I find myself coming back to you every time.
The seats take hours/days of driving to get them to where you want them but when you do, they’re insanely comfortable.
There’s no such thing as Reserve 2, it’s called a Reserve with 202A equipment package and this one has the Dynamic Handling package ( air suspension), for those watching this that are serious about looking at buying.
My life is complete now
Lincoln: "let's make rwd suvs!"
Also Lincoln: "let's make the continental concept that everyone loved fwd and take away everything that made it special!"
Rear drive isn’t the same as rear wheel drive. The aviator is AWD
God damn this car is near perfect. If I had to choose a luxury SUV (and if i could ever afford it) this would be at the top of my list.
Cadillac should be very worried. Lincoln is not messing around. This is flat out gorgeous🏎
Yes, rear lights are Saabesque. Regardless, the Lincoln suv lineup is is killing it.
American luxury is back. And it’s killing the game. Good job Lincoln!
The Aviator would be my second choice after the Genesis gv80
I'm not that amazed by the outside but, the inside, I'm in love with it😍
Loyal Gm/Cadillac buyer here, but have to say this absolutely eats the XT6's lunch. Caddy had better be doing an emergency overhaul for 2021. This is a very beautiful American SUV.
The good thing is that the XT6 will be replaced with a Midsize SUV EV before 2025,the interior will be very similar to the Cadillac Lyriq EV
Excellent review - thank you! I also learned that it accepts regular gas instead of premium so that will also save you $$$
You're one of the best car reviewers out there. I'm surprised you haven't reached a million subscribers yet. Common people!
I’d buy one if I had the money
No more SUV's for me, but if I was this and the new Genesis would be on the top of my list. Both beautiful designs.
You know what I love about this gorgeous vehicle?? The fact that it has a fucking normal sized grill and not obnoxiously FUGLY like most. God dammit Lincoln this thing is fucking gorgeous.
That's not bad mpg numbers for an suv...and its very pretty.
Every car at this point should come with a heads up display, that displays Navigation, speed, and IR night vision. IR night vision is probably the most underrated feature that people don't realize is a huge benefit when your night driving.
Glad you mentioned the screen, it was driving me crazy
That car is good looking! Looks better than the Mercedes. Now this Lincoln SUV is what you really call Luxury!
🤣 Ah, yes, the world famous Detroit Symphony BAND 🤣🤣🤣 “Which is nice”.... I stopped counting after he said “Which is nice...” 42X

That title = Win
Thank you so much for this video. have had my eye on it but wasn't sure if it was or is the right one for me. But so happy you did this video.
