Surprised they let you get behind the Aviator. Youre like one of the very first people with a video like this on the Avaitor
Khari Manzini he has connections from the dealership he use to work at
Surely I am entitled to my opinion,SUVs are only a fashion trend, they are for mothers going to the school to pick up the kids.I am not a troll.
@@greglong3275 You're entitled to your opinion, but I'll raise you a Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Ceyenne Turbo, RR Sport, etc.
Someone has to be first.

Haven’t even started watching this and I’m already excited! Huge Lincoln fan!
Me too when I got the notification on my phone for this vid I went huuuuuuuuuuuuuhhh
Me too I had to hit save so I can sit and enjoy it lol. I want one but maybe in a year or 2 or maybe the refresh I’ll get one.
Lincoln’s are the best!!
Probably the first actual real world review of the Aviator. This is absolutely gorgeous
I'm borderline obsessed with this and the new Navigator. They're just so clean and awe inspiring. I pray that I can afford them soon.
You will.
A... I appreciate that!
Guys I'm from Saudi arabia and I'm good in cars and owning
Luxury cars... do you see the beauty of the design and touches and colors combinations !!! Wow i would choose it over a range rover, GLE suv, GLS, BMW X5...etc. wow Lincoln you are beating all SUVs ... beautiful car
Really beautiful & amazing vehicle Mike. Have always liked what Lincoln had to offer and this New mid-size premium SUV is just AWESOME! Luv the exterior styling, nice clean straight lines, elegant as you stated, with really handsome front end/grille treatment & rear fascia/bumper just beautifully done. Interior is just WOW, luxury touches everywhere befitting a vehicle in this class and that 28-speaker sound system is beyond cool. Amazing tech' like most of the new cars which i keep up on, but Lincoln just takes it to a whole other level IMO. Very nice review Mike!
Wow Lincoln! The Aviator is beautiful. Cadillac could learn a few things from Lincoln in the area of luxury.
Damn. Lincoln really stepping it up
MurKage. Lincoln’s have always been pretty good
Rob Erickson except for the Lincoln Blackwood. Sorry but That thing was an abomination.
Jesse McRae I forgot about that one. I actually worked for the company that designed it at the time. Total disaster. I worked for Magna international from 99 to 2003. That thing cost many people their jobs
Rob Erickson I still them once in a while around town. It’s gotta be up there with the Pontiac Aztec
Jesse McRae I don’t remember it being ugly I just remember it being a piece of shit. Lots of problems with it
I've always liked the Lincoln brand. The luxury and style doesn't even seem like a Ford product. Ford really does make Lincoln its own brand. Where I work we manufacturer all the internal ductwork for the cockpit and every part has a Lincoln stamp and are completely different from the Explorer sister parts. The defrost nozzle has a felt pad welded into the center of the nozzle to make the blower whisper quiet when defrosting the windshield. Just touched like that which set the Lincoln apart from other brands.
Best midsize suv in his class. I test drove the Q8 and the new gle, that I did a quick spin on the new aviator. The lincoln is best ride and handling.
Den Alisio Montpellier Americans have such unpopular opinions... 😂😂
You should review the Lincoln Corsair when it comes out too!
Lincoln has really outdone themselves with the new navigator and aviator.
Lincoln > Cadillac easy. Lincoln has done really good things past 3 years. I used to Own a 2017 Mkz black, phenomenal car. Unfortunately like many Fords, I had issues with the Transmission within 6months. Big Kudos Lincoln very well done. Great review bro as always.
This car is stunning, and I think I even like it better than the Navigator. I like that it looks like the Range Rover from the side, Audi Q7 from the front, and a Lincoln from the back - giving it that luxury feel. And that interior! The $90,000 + Mercedes GLS Series is NOT EVEN comparable to that of the Aviators. That is, no doubt, the best interior I have EVER seen on a luxury SUV.
Lincoln has been killing it lately! Great video! 👌🏾👌🏾
@Oskar Dirlewanger 😐
Yeah they got dual quad tip exhaust and everything.
@Oskar Dirlewanger Read the sales numbers before replying. The luxury Lincoln SUVs are doing pretty well. Middle income households has a large gap between $40,500 - $100,000. How much do you think cars currently cost. By the way. Since you obviously majored in economics. The Federal reserve reduced rates by 1/4%. That should trickle down to auto financing. Every little bit helps.
Escape ST their sales numbers are actual negative comparing to last year's first quarter. The only car that keeps Lincoln on float is the Navigator.
Luis González not true, the Nautilus is selling very well and this is going to be a hit for them
This car is so nice that it’s almost perfect! Cheaper starting price than the XT6, more equipment, more power, and space! Also, love that it’s RWD biased now.
It's full RWD or AWD (w/dynamic vectoring)
I wish people would stop trying to take swipes at Cadillac and compare this to a BMW or Benz which it does outclass. Talk about those cars and stop trying to bring down American companies.
RayJ-HT+ I still LOVE Cadillac, and I’m not trying to bring them down by any means. I just happen to like the Aviator more.
@@rhydynamic8306 Lincoln did knock that interior out of the park. To deny that would be foolish. I still like the interior of the XT6 but for the segment Lincoln has upped the standard. I hate that BMW, Lexus, etc all get off and are not compared. People only seem to dig at the other American company.
RayJ-HT+ I agree, the interior is very upscale and high quality.
The most beautiful car in its class....period! Finally tops the Range Rover Sport, my all time favourite!
Dad leased Lincoln’s every three years since I could remember, most vividly the MKZ’s. 2009-2012-2016 models. Watching the quality and the brand come into its own as of late has been awesome. Crazy how far they’ve come in ten years.
What? What? I am so in love with this Aviator. I put my deposit down already and have my VIN number but haven’t yet been able to test drive it yet!!! I am so jealous that you are actually behind the wheel and driving it. I was told that there are a couple of issues they still have to iron out before anyone drives it. I saw it on the showroom floor when I was going to purchase a Navigator but quickly started changing my mind once it was shown to me. I think you did a most spectacular job showcasing the Aviator. Thanks again for putting it all out there for us.
Lincoln is crushing Cadillac....and making Audi look down market. Never thought I’d see it.
Chris Preuss 😂 Cadillac isn’t even worried about Lincoln.
@@mybro727 - yet Cadillac offered $10k off MSRP when the new Navigator debuted to Lincoln Navigator owners. You are a product of a -10 IQ. Cadillac has nothing of substance when it comes to the Navigator or Aviator.
Chris, you hit the nail on the head man. Lincoln is now a few steps above Cadillac.
Yea... Lincoln Is King Of American Luxury. While Cadillac Was Too Busy Chasing BMW In The Sporty Department, They Lost Their Roots While Lincoln Rediscovered Theirs. Cadillac Is Trash Now Anyway As Far As Quality Goes.
Symbolic AcclaimedTM That means absolutely NOTHING. Cadillac was gonna offer thousands off the Escalade to sell them brand new and get them off dealer lots regardless. You do realize the current model is over 6 years old, right? Lmbo. Any discount has less to do with the Lincoln Navigator and more to do with the fact a newly redesigned Cadillac Escalade is due. Nevertheless, even the current Escalade continues to outsell the Navigator.
This car is freaking ridiculous. I would SO buy this. $70K is expensive for a mid-size car, but this is totally worth it.
wow i never realized how luxurious lincoln interiors are. i always thought i would get an AMG SUV but might consider a lincoln like the nautilus black label
Fantastic video about a fantastic Luxury SUV. I feel the Aviator is the most beautiful SUV on the market with it body lines and interior design. Loads of technology. Lincoln has created an amazing vehicle.
I have a lot of videos of this automobile and you still showed me something that I hadn't seen before. Thanks nice work.
Hands down one of the best reviews on youtube this car is almost flawless i just love it it’s an outstanding car both exterior and interior thanks mate
I currently drive a 2004 Aviator and I was absolutely ecstatic that it was coming back to the market after a 15 year absence. I saw it at the 2018 New York Auto Show and totally shocked to see it and even more thrilled to know that it was going to be released. Definitely waiting for it to come to the New York area.
At least you talk about the sound system most car reviewers is don't and a little hidden feature when you hit the unlock twice then hold it the windows go down and when you hit the lock button twice and hold it the windows goes up your ford do this as well.
Toyota, Lexus, Nissan and Infiniti have had that feature with the windows for a long time.
@@ericd.4460 yeah you can do this with the key fob but on them cars to put the windows back up you gotta use the keys except Lexus ls models fyi bmw had this first way back in 1995
Lincoln makes some great vehicles, the Navigator and Aviator are at the top of that list. Creature comforts in the interior make this SUV a joy to take on trips. I only wish I could afford one.
Why have you never come up on my TH-cam before? This review was amazing, you had me rethinking my 2020 Range Rover for this & that’s a good influencer👍🏼. Plus you’re easy on the eyes & that never hurts
Looks like the Range Rover on the side. But, it is a beauty. I always love that car.
Babas0097 Ford used to or still does own Land Rover.
@@javieracosta5528 Ford owned Land Rover from 2000-08, the interiors are not related because of common ownership
Not digging the new face of the lincoln. The grill and headlights.
Babas0097 Lincoln is apart of Range Rovers look at Ford Esape and explore Ford and Range rovers r cousin
White interior is absolutely gorgeous but it's so hard to keep clean :(
Who cares when it looks so awesome
@@TheKacper2001 that's my point, it won't look so awesome when it's got all different colors on it
This car is for ppl that can get this detailed once a week
If you’ve got kids, get a different color interior obviously. Nbd
taurussho86 if you get the black label Lincoln dealership will clean your aviator anytime you want thats part of the package.
Glad to see you back to reviewing some other vehicles. A friend of mine bought a Range Rover earlier this year. It often stays in the shop for at least a week at a time. I’ll take this Aviator.
Such a beautiful suv. I remember seeing the concept at the LA auto show and was blown away
I've had my eyes on the Aviator, every since Lincoln announced it would bring it back!! Retirement car 2021 . . .
Their cut line and sculpting of the front quarter and hood is spot on. They should migrate this unique feature to their whole line in refreshes
we've had a Lincoln Navigator imported to Spain from Florida for five years and beside European cars its a beast love it
It's a shame that we don't have a dealer for Lincoln here in Finland. Cool cars!
Zirma Li the price for lincoln , cadillac etc in finland would be too high..
Ship it across
Louis Barningham that’s just nonsense
Lincoln wouldn't sell 50 cars per year in Finland tbh. Too expensive, so unreliable.
Great video preview. Love your videos man,and love this vehicle. I'm a Ford and Lincoln lover.
That interior color is mesmerizing
What a car! As a German I must admit: this thing is easily competing with German high end SUVs. They did their job at Lincoln.
Also a cool review!
Unique exhaust tips. I like them. It's a good idea the way they did them.
Congrats on getting this comprehensive review up here. I have an 'Aviator Reserve I' on order and am expecting it any day. I was able to test drive one last week and loved it. Your great review was a perfect supplement to what I experienced. Coming from an Audi Q7, this new Lincoln Aviator is leaps and bounds above the current Audi Q7 and the main reason why I opted for the Lincoln this time around. Cheers!
I work at biondi Lincoln in Pittsburgh and I do lincoln reviews. If you wanna do a review on the 2020 Lincoln Continental coach door edition let me know! Only 80 are being produced!
Would love to
Nice review Bro. I've been thinking about the Avi. for sometime, as well as the 2020 ford explorer (SAME PLATFORM). We test drove a a Lincoln Navi., and 2020 explorer (Avi's on recall) the other day, and we were Lincolnized or Lincolnfied from that moment on. I'm "all in" on the Aviator, and can't wait to see/drive one, as the pics and videos would never give it the true justice. WELCOME BACK LINCOLN! All I can think about is how comfortable the seat were/are in the Navigator. Knowing the same will be in the Aviator is an AWESOME move for Lincoln! Sadly , most people won't even research Lincoln, knowing noting of the brand and its resent changes.
I believe that Lincoln is suffering from lack of marketing, just like the Genesis brand.
No the Genesis brand is a piece of shit! But yes Lincoln’s marketing needs to step it up!
The Genesis is just a Hyundai/Kia though
Wow! You’re getting very cinematic with videos now. I like it, don’t stop.
Nice, and as a Lexus/Toyota guy.. Lincoln did their homework.
I’m a cadillac guy and the new cadillac XT6 is a great disappointment. I am completely sure GM is fully aware they screwed that car compared to this. Congrats to Lincoln! This is a masterpiece.
Hey Mike we make them seats at our factory down in Windsor Ontario 😄😄👍👍
Yo that's cool is it hard?
I work at Honda I work on the Nsx's
Ernie Atkins What is the name of the factory. I think that your company sounds intriguing for some goods that I am seeking to produce.
@@BLACK-TAR-FENT making car seats is the worst thing to do in a car production process....trust me I speak from experience
Windsor, ON ... best city ever!!
This is real pride
So, just one thing. I have a 2013 MKT, which this replaces, so it has been around. But with more horsepower and upgraded interior, this could very well be an overall upgrade. The MKT looks are hit or miss depending on personal opinion. Great video.
I agree on rear of the Lincoln. It looks good.
I love my MKT but this will be the replacement for it! Great video Mike!
I’m getting rid of my Cadillac xt4 and Aviator is gonna be my new baby 😍
kelly51757 smart man
Great review as always, really nice SUV!!!! The little cut out in the exhaust tips are a fantastic idea.
The best thing is the seats so elegance beautiful. Cheers Mike
AutoVlog Great Review that Lincoln Aviator Black Label is Absolutely Gorgeous inside and out and think all of its Technology is Absolutely Incredible
Lincoln's biting heads OFF in the car game right now. None of the other American competitors are even remotely close to them with this new lineup.
I think we’ll have to see price wise how it hangs in there. It’s definitely nice, but it’s not cheap either
@@ahastar1141 price is appropriate for what you get. No Mercedes or BMW, Audi, etc. Is touching this.
taurussho86 in my country, those German cars are kinda expensive, the aviator and the GT500 will come next year
JaVaughn McGregor Cadillac is laughing.
mybro727 about what?
I believe the purpose of the exhaust was to direct the fumes down and away from the vehicle to avoid fumes getting into the cabin like the Explorer
Only pet peeve of mine for luxury cars, those tires. Loud, low profile bump slamming tires. Bring back the tires of the 70's! At least with those the only thing you can hear is the clock ticking away in the dash while cruising.
Travis face it big tires are ugly. Looks are what people want will ride over bumps looking great
@@cadillacrecord7674 Right, but a little sidewall doesn't hurt and softer tires. At least they should add an inch or so to the outside radius of the tire and use softer material. Wheels don't necessarily have to be smaller. 90's cars was a pretty good medium, low profile but the tires had taller walls.
Wanted a mkt...now I want this!
Mike, You probably know this being a car guy, but maybe you don't,...Lincoln has ALWAYS been known for their luxury & premium feel of their vehicles!...GM's Cadillac has also been known as the top luxury division of GM, although some like myself prefer the Lincoln brand over the GM CADILLAC brand.
I love the I interior. Ice cold features. And the sound of the engine during the drive. OMG. I'm definitely buying this vehicle. 💯
First reviewer showing this so far. Congrats!
You do well explaining features & articulation of as if one curiously looking into the vehicle.....my first Lincoln review to view ...I'm impressed....good job....as always....love your way , simplicity, candor , maturity about you....appreciate your content.....curious what's next..😊
I just saw one at the airport last night ... This thing looks nice in person.
While the tail pipes do reduce the "dirtiness" of the exhaust pipe, the main reasoning for the bottom exit hole is for when towing, the exhaust fumes aren't showing on w.e. is being towed plus not reentering the vehicle
Nice review Mike!...You covered all the main areas of the vehicle!
I was watching a video where a ford engineer actually said the reason for the tail pipes to shoot down like that on the explorer as well was for something to the affect previous generations there were complains of emissions creeping into the cabin through the tailgate. So shooting them down elongates that.
I sat in this car at the LA Auto Show. Lincoln isn't here to play anymore, they're competing.
And winning.
Have been a huge Lincoln fan but the price tag makes it a competitor to BMW, Porsche, Audi and Mercedes SUV. Which compared I feel it’s a use disadvantage who are known for luxury SUV with great driving experience.
I will purchase My new Aviator next year, and can't wait. I love everything about this SUV. Its clearly heads above most SUVs out there today. RGEE
Lincoln has been making some nice looking cars lately
Best luxury vehicle you can buy!😍
You can use "db Meter" app to measure decibels and compare. At 60-70mph on a smooth highway road, the Lexus LS460 measured about 62-65db; the LS430 measured about 63-66db. I wonder how quiet, smooth and comfortable the Lincoln is, compared to the Lexus cars.
The Aviator is very nice and luxurious, it has so much to offer in terms of features and technology. Nice "creature comforts" as well. It's almost as nice as the Navigator. In fact, it seems like a scaled-down version of the Navigator because of everything that it has to offer. It has quite a bit of room for a mid-size suv. I really like the interior.
Aviator has more high tech features than the Navigator.
Very nice. Interesting that this is "only" $15k cheaper than an equally loaded Navigator. And this isn't even a Grand Touring.😬😬
I'm just glad that an American maker can finally play against Volvo XC90, MB GLS, and Audi Q7. And this Lincoln definitely does!
Love Lincoln got a 2013 mkx cant wait to get the nautilis
Finally back reviewing ford/Lincoln I loved it Mike thank you
lincoln is super underrated
Have seen these in person at the Lincoln Experience Center, they look really good.
I think the blue interior in the Aviator is crazy cool
Best review video I’ve seen. Great work. And Lincoln *should* be paying you. You sold me.
I wish when you show the interior of a vehicle.., you do it at night so we truly are the dash lighting.
That interior is surprisingly amazing 😯
The exhaust was changed to due the previous Explorer exhaust gases entering the rear of the vehicle.
Yeah he obviously just made up his explanation of it
lic2kil007 i couldnt even tell it was on the explorer platform, lmao i remember when the edge was rebadged to lincoln with a new grill and it was a lincoln.... yet it looked like a edge. Now i cant even tell, besides the expedition/navigator oof
The exhaust leak was due to third party installers for police departments doing a poor job. Has 0 to do with this exhaust.
Zach Lange nope. It wasnt third party it came from the factory. As to why regular explorers had the issue although they were stock, my dads 2017 explorer had the issue and we had it fixed when we got the oil change. And i didnt know police department changed exhausts, i thought they pretty much stay stock, since all police explorers have pointing down dual exhausts. Not only that... why would they? They get a beefed up 3.7L v6 (and its hauling that heavy weight body) i dont see why they would change the exhaust, from my understanding its just engine, transmission and suspension
It’s a daily challenge trying to keep my light gray leather clean, this white option would drive me crazy..
First the reason the tailpipe has holes on the bottom is because the problem ford was having with last year explorer. Which was that fumes was entertaining the passenger compartment by the tailgate. That why they have those holes it not to keep them clean even that is a bonus.
I’m more excited about the Explorer ST than this. See if you can get your hands on one of those.
So am I.
Really good looking SUV. They need a two row version based on this Aviator.
Paul M yea, it’ll be the next Nautilus based on the same platform
Paul M I believe the new Corsair is being dubbed the baby Aviator and replaces the MKC
Lincoln is Back Babe !!! 🥰😍🥰😍🥰
Lincolns burgundy interiors are the best luxury interiors on the market
Also lincoln has a habit of their concept design being 95% what the finished product will look like, I suppose the reason is that it is cheaper to produce a product that looks like the concept and to spend more money on an entire new car design
Not sure what this even means or of you understand what a concept car is
@@pimpindnice910 Do you understand what a concept car is?
It's a a car that showcases future design and technology and almost always never looks like anything the manufacturer would build as a finished product
its just when you design a concept car it costs money and nowadays american car companies don't have a lot of money. So by building a concept car that looks like the concept you save money because the design is already done
The new Aviator is gorgeous 😍🔥👅🤩😭😭!! It's beautiful & perfect!
One great looking station wagon. Would really be killing it with wood panels on the side.
looks great. way better than effort than Caddy XT6
this car is gorgeous all over. however, the deal breaker is the electronic door handles in my opinion.
They do have a manual/ mechanical backup in case if emergency. If electronics quit, they still work.
Mike... I love ya man but can you please level match your audio... damn near blew my ears off with the intro music and then when you came on I had to turn the volume back up. Just tryin to help 👍🏽
I love ur reviews very helpful ! U always do very good job with all details)) thank you so much for ur job!!
Sexy and strong design. Lincoln is definitely back on game
Those seats are crazy!
Thanks Mike for Sharing! Really enjoyed ♥️this video!!
