The Aviator is rear-wheel drive, with fourwheel drive available and comes standard with a twin-turbocharged 30-liter V6 engine, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that delivers 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque for fast and smooth acceleration, Lincoln said in its news release.
Since being introduced in 2019, Lincoln points out, the vehicle has a conquest rate of nearly 70%, the most of any Lincoln vehicle to attract owners of other vehicles to buy the model, a data point that’s tracked carefully in the industry.
“With the new Aviator, technology takes an even larger role in helping create a relaxing, luxurious space,” Heidi Shaffer, Lincoln director, said in the news release. “We are creating a new, digital sanctuary on the road.”
Lincoln is focused on use of voice, offering Google assistant as the default to do things such as set in-vehicle temperature, find and set destinations, request a specific broadcast or radio station, make calls, send texts, set a meeting and control connected home devices. Google maps is integrated into the system, and displayed on both the touch screen and digital cluster screen. Streaming music, books and podcasts are also possible.
