As a representative of American luxury in the mid-to-large SUV market, four years after its launch, the new Lincoln Aviator was officially launched on August 1, ushering in a mid-term facelift.
It is reported that the new car has undergone comprehensive adjustments to the exterior and interior design, and offers 6-seat and 7-seat layout options, and the power system has also been improved to a certain extent.
Although it is a mid-term facelift rather than a generational change, the exterior design of the Lincoln Aviator has changed a lot. The front grille is larger, and the interior uses a dot-matrix grille, which is decorated with chrome to create a stronger sense of refinement. The headlight style has been adjusted, and the new LED daytime running lights extend into the interior of the grille, which has a certain visual widening effect on the front face. In addition, the headlight group has also added Lincoln's latest "hug" welcome effect, highlighting its noble temperament. There is a trapezoidal grille at the bottom, and the shape of the vents on both sides has also been adjusted, which is more sporty in visual effect.
The side profile is still sturdy and powerful, with a length, width and height of 5080/2022/1759mm and a wheelbase of 3025mm. The two-tone body design, with the ABCD pillars blackened and integrated with the side glass and roof, makes its sturdy body look not bloated.
The rear part of the car has not changed much, and the LED taillights with 3D floating design have outstanding lighting effects. It is worth mentioning that the new Lincoln Aviator supports 3 types of taillight animations, and the recognition is also very high at night.
As a luxury SUV, the new Lincoln Aviator is equipped with Air Glide dual-cavity air suspension, so its welcoming sensor system can actively lower the height of the vehicle body, making it easier for passengers to get on and off the vehicle, giving them a full sense of ceremony.
The changes in interior design are more obvious. The most intuitive change is that all the central control screens have become larger. The 27-inch high-definition panoramic screen extends from the center console to the passenger side, and is paired with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, which enhances the technological atmosphere. The new high-definition panoramic screen has a built-in 8155 chip, and its latest Lincoln digital infotainment system is rich in functions and smooth. The 17-inch HUD head-up display has a high brightness of 15,000 lumens, which can provide effective assistance to driving. Wireless charging, a simpler multi-function steering wheel and other functions are also updated simultaneously.
It is worth mentioning that in today's era of increasingly touch-based cockpits, the new Lincoln Aviator still retains a large number of physical buttons, including seat adjustment, air conditioning control and other function buttons, which is worthy of recognition. In addition, even though the screen area is larger, thanks to the good materials, material selection and color design, you can still feel the excellent American luxury atmosphere of this car.
The new car still maintains a diverse space combination, with three rows of seven seats, three rows of six seats with aisles, and three rows of six seats with central storage boxes. In addition, a 5.8-inch touch screen is provided for the second row passengers to adjust the air conditioning, multimedia, seat heating and ventilation and other functions.
In terms of power, the new car continues to be equipped with a 3.0T V6 twin-turbocharged engine, and its maximum power has been slightly increased from 355 horsepower to 367 horsepower compared to the current model. In terms of transmission system, the new car is equipped with a 10-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive system.
As one of the few models on the market that can provide an American luxury atmosphere, the upgrade of Lincoln Aviator has comprehensively enhanced its product strength. While improving the intelligent experience and ease of use, it still has not abandoned its previous elegant temperament.
It is reported that the price of the new car is expected to be officially announced at this year's Chengdu Auto Show.
