Lincoln

As one of the models which wisely led Lincoln’s way back into the world of real model names instead of the MK-Nothing alphabet soup, the Corsair continues into 2025 as an stepping stone into the brand and one of four vehicles (all crossovers or SUVs) on sale in the brand’s showroom this year.

Shopping in this segment means one should also look at vehicles such as the Acura RDX, Cadillac XT4 or XT5, and the Lexus NX. One would be remiss not to include the Genesis G70 in this conversation, as well.

What’s new with the Lincoln Corsair for 2025?

While this machine looks very similar to its appearance last year, the addition of a Grand Touring plug-in hybrid model brings competition to others in its class rocking this type of powertrain. The brightwork on that grille can be toned down with a Jet Apperance package if yer so inclined.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Performance

The hybrid mentioned above utilizes a 2.5L gasoline-powered four-cylinder engine and electrified gubbins to make 266 horsepower, though Lincoln is cagey on the actual amount of torque this combo creates. It is funneled to the earth via all-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission. Meanwhile, the non-hybrid wears a 2.0L turbocharged mill making a healthy 250 horses and 275 lb-ft of torque. This dances with an eight-speed automatic. Both engines prefer a diet of premium fuel.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Efficiency

Lincoln Corsair models powered by the 2.0L turbo may consume 11.2 L/100km in city environs, 8.3 on the open road, and 9.9 combined. Switching to the more expensive plug-in hybrid improves those numbers to 6.9, 7.4, and 7.1 respectively. It can also travel about 40 kilometres on electricity when conditions are right. This is reasonable, given the hybrid system adds about 700 pounds compared to the gasser.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Safety

This vehicle doesn’t win any specific plaudits from the crash test dummies at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, though it gets top marks in all exams save for the tough new side impact test with its heavier (and higher) battering ram designed to better simulate real world traffic on today’s roads.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Reliability

Both predicted reliability and predicted owner satisfaction are staunchly midpack, according to Consumer Reports, citing feedback from owners and the results of other models in the Lincoln line. Infotainment is praised as easy to use but the transmission push buttons are panned.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Interior

Right now, the Corsair is in lock step with some of its similarly sized cousins in the Ford household, meaning it still has a tablet tacked on to its dashboard and a set of digital gauges bookended by black plastic or wood trim. We expect the Corsair to adopt the pillar-to-pillar type screen now appearing in the Nautilus and Navigator when this model is refreshed in a year or two.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Dimensions

Total length clocks in at 4,608 millimetres which places it closer (but not quite) to something like the Audi Q5 instead of the smaller Q3. Width is a reasonable 2,108 mm while overall height stands 1,629 mm tall

2025 Lincoln Corsair Canadian Pricing

Starting at $51,795 for the Premiere trim, buyers can walk up to a heady $59,995 for the Reserve model with snazzy gear like a Revel audio system. The plug-in hybrid Grand Touring starts at $62,485 but it is no trouble to blow past 70 grand with options (which is where the Navigator used to live not all that many years ago).

Lincoln’s Aviator gets a refresh for 2025, including new front-end styling and features. This midsize SUV features three rows of seats and sits in Lincoln’s lineup between the full-size Navigator and two-row Nautilus. It comes exclusively with a twin-turbocharged V6 engine; a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version, dubbed the Grand Touring, was dropped after 2023 and so far, hasn’t shown any signs of returning. The Aviator competes with such three-row premium sport-utes as the Audi Q7, BMW X7, Cadillac XT6, Infiniti QX60, Lexus TX, and Mercedes-Benz GLE. It could also be cross-shopped with the Ford Explorer, with which it shares its platform.

What’s new with the Lincoln Aviator for 2025?

The refreshed 2025 Lincoln Aviator gets a new mesh grille that’s raised a bit so the upper edge aligns with the equally-new LED headlamps. Those headlamps, and the daytime running light strips, can be optionally set to sequentially illuminate as the driver approaches the vehicle. BlueCruise hands-free highway driving assist is now added to the Aviator, and as a standard feature, with a four-year subscription that will require renewal after that to keep it working. Also new for 2025, the BlueCruise feature includes in-lane repositioning and lane change assist.

A new 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster is added, along with a new 13.2-inch touchscreen with Lincoln Digital Experience, which integrates apps and services from Google and Amazon, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Digital Experience also allows streaming through apps such as Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, and iHeartRadio, or online activity through an available Vivaldi Browser app. A new Jet Package is added, with black exterior accents and unique wheels, along with a new Whisper Blue Metallic paint shade.

2025 Lincoln Aviator Performance

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator uses a twin-turbocharged V6 engine that makes 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, mated to a ten-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard, as is an adaptive air suspension and 21-inch wheels.

In their road-trip review of the 2022 Lincoln Aviator, Elle Alder and Clayton Seams found that, “Hitting the road, the Aviator is a gentle, easygoing tower block. Acceleration comes easily, with the 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine’s abundant 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque pulling the Aviator up to merge speed without a moment’s worry. It leans a little around ramps, but the reward is a forgiving grace across expansion joints and rough urban surfaces… Approach a sudden slowdown, however, and the Lincoln makes its soft suspension and 4,862-pound mass known. It’s all still manageable, but stopping anything less than proactively is a reminder of the tremendous momentum that the Aviator carries.”

2025 Lincoln Aviator Efficiency

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) hadn’t yet rated the 2025 Lincoln Aviator at time of writing, but it’s unchanged mechanically from the 2024 version, and that one is rated at 13.7 L/100 km in the city, 9.7 on the highway, and 11.9 in combined driving, for an estimated annual fuel cost of $3,451. It runs on regular-grade gasoline.

2025 Lincoln Aviator Safety

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator hadn’t been fully crash-tested by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at time of writing, but in the smash-ups it’s experienced so far, it got the highest five-star rating for side crash, and four stars for rollover. The 2024 version did the same, along with five stars for frontal crash and overall performance. Likewise, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) hasn’t smacked up the 2025 version, but the 2024 Aviator earned the top “Good” in the small overlap front, the updated side test that better simulates being struck by a large SUV, and the updated moderate front overlap, which now assesses potential injury to a rear-seat passenger as well as to those in the front.

Standard features include the new BlueCruise hands-free driving assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, traffic sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, 360-degree camera, front and rear emergency braking, and lane-keep assist.

2025 Lincoln Aviator Reliability Rating

Consumer Reports hadn’t yet tested the 2025 Lincoln Aviator at time of writing, but it gave the 2024 edition a predicted reliability rating of 35/100, and said it expects it to be “less reliable than other new cars,” based on “limited data” from the Aviator plus Lincoln’s brand scores. The Aviator didn’t earn any trophies in the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, while Lincoln as a brand ranked 25 out of all automakers, fourteen steps below the industry average.

2025 Lincoln Aviator Interior

The Aviator features a premium interior that includes a leather-wrapped dash, that new larger 13.2-inch centre screen, four-zone automatic climate control, rear-seat LED climate screen, wireless charger, ambient lighting, illuminated sill pads, heated and ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, acoustic laminated front door glass, and automatic air refresh. An optional Luxury Package - $6,000 by itself, or $7,000 to throw in 22-inch wheels alongside – adds 30-way-adjustable massaging front seats, heated and ventilated second-row seats, rear door sunshades, and a 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system with subwoofer.

In their road-trip review of the 2022 Lincoln Aviator, Elle Alder and Clayton Seams said, “The cabin is spacious, the seats adjust in so many ways it’s almost overwhelming, and the outside world seems wonderfully far away… While rear seats can often feel like a penalty box, the second-row passengers in the Aviator are treated to nearly as many delights as those in the front. The seats recline, there’s a touch screen for music and HVAC controls, a large cubby for phones, plenty of chargers, and a pair of cupholders in case you get thirsty… The Aviator’s third-row seat is replete with USB charge ports, but is simply not as roomy or comfy as the second row. For a long drive, this space is best left for cargo.”

2025 Lincoln Aviator Dimensions

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator has an overall length of 5,072 mm (199.7 in). Headroom starts at 1,021 mm (40.2 in) in the front seat and then falls back to 937 mm (36.9 in) by the time it gets to the third row. Front-seat legroom is generous at 1,092 mm (43 in) and for those in the second row at 1,021 mm (40.2 in), but the third row is a scant 741 mm (29.2 in) that’s best left for younger children or very short adults. The second row comes standard with captain’s chairs for seven-passenger seating, but these can be swapped for a 35/30/35 bench seat that increases the Aviator to eight occupants.

Cargo capacity is 543 litres behind the third row; 1,209 litres when that one’s folded; and up to 2,225 litres of cargo volume when the third and second rows are down. Towing capacity is a maximum of 5,000 lbs, and a Class III trailer package is included.

2025 Lincoln Aviator Canadian Pricing

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator comes in a single Reserve trim level at $79,600. Only black paint is included for that price, and the five other available shades – grey, white, pearl, blue, and red – each add $950. The Aviator comes pretty much loaded, and other than the extra-charge colours, options are pretty much limited to that aforementioned Luxury Package at $6,000, some different 22-inch wheel designs, and accessories such as locking lug nuts and an engine block heater.

When the crossover market started growing Lincoln wanted a slice of this lucrative pie. However, its representative was the then MKX. It was a ho-hum ride that, less than two years after a remake, was quietly quashed. For 2019, after restyling the exterior and updating the interior, the MKX nameplate was replaced by Nautilus. It succeeded in boosting Lincoln’s share of the crossover market. For 2024, the Lincoln Nautilus was totally rethought with a choice of gasoline and hybrid models. For 2025 that changes, as the Nautilus hybrid has been sidelined. Once manufactured in Oakville, Ontario, the Nautilus is now manufactured in Zhejiang, China.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Competitors

The Lincoln Nautilus has strong competition these days with the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Cadillac XT5, Genesis GV70, Lexus RX, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Volvo XC60 being the key rivals.

What’s new with the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus?

Heading into 2025, the big news is a Canadian customer wanting the buy a Nautilus Hybrid will “have to work with their local dealer to get one.” It has become a special order item. On a brighter note, the Nautilus Reserve is joined by the Premiere and Lincoln’s BlueCruise is now standard for four-years before becoming a pay-to-play option.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Performance

The Nautilus is powered by a 2.0L turbo-four that makes 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. It works with an eight-speed automatic transmission to drive all four wheels. This is the same optional powertrain found in the Ford Escape — it takes six seconds to get to 100 km/h, which is 1.5 seconds faster than the heavier Nautilus. The Intelligent all-wheel-drive uses an array of sensors to monitor the driving conditions and ensure the drive goes to the wheels with grip. Under normal driving situations it powers the front wheels, but it can step in when needed. For example, when pulling away aggressively and the risk of wheelspin is high the system switches to all-wheel-drive before the front wheels lose traction.

For those interested in the Hybrid, it uses a 2.0L engine and two electric motors. The generator motor charges the battery, starts the engine and helps to spin the engine up to speed. The traction motor makes 134 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. When the engine and electric motor are working together the Nautilus has 310 hp. A CVT works with the all-wheel-drive system.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Efficiency

The Lincoln Nautilus consumes 11.2 L/100 km in the city, 8.1 L/100 km on the highway and has an average consumption of 9.8 L/100 km. The annual fuel cost of $3,038. The hybrid cuts the consumption to 7.9 L/100 km, 7.6 L/100 km and 7.7 L/100 km, respectively, and the annual fuel cost is $2,387.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Safety

In the IIHS testing the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus earned the best Top Safety+ pick rating. It has Good scores in the small front overlap, moderate front overlap original and updated tests. It also gets a Good for the side impact test, headlight performance and forward crash prevention. The NHTSA has not rated the Nautilus yet.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Reliability

Consumer Reports gave the 2024 Nautilus a score of 57 out of 100 saying, “We expect the 2024 Nautilus will have about average reliability when compared to the average new car. This prediction is based on the previous generation of the Nautilus, plus the Lincoln brand scores.”

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Interior

Peek inside the Nautilus and it’s the two 24-inch screens that combine to create an eye-catching and functional 48-inch widescreen — it runs the entire width of the crossover. The screen is divided into three distinct sections. The first section is instrumentation. The middle section houses the navigation functions. The third section sits ahead of the passenger and features different widgets like radio station info, weather, fuel economy and so on. The driver can pick three and switch them around to suit. The steering wheel is more oval than round to ensure an unobstructed view of the information presented to the driver — you look over it and not through it. There is also a traditional 11.1-inch central screen for the infotainment functions. The saving grace is the mapping in the central display is bright during the day — the map in the 48-inch screen always looks like night mode.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Dimensions

The Lincoln Nautilus is 4,907-mm long, 1,946-mm wide and it rides on a 2,900-mm wheelbase. It has a ton of rear seat space with 1,012-mm of headroom with the legroom stretching 1,095-mm. The cargo space measures 1,030L with the 60/40-split rear seat upright and 2,020L when folded flat.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Canadian Pricing

The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus Premiere starts at $60,100 with the Reserve commanding $69,900. The now special-order hybrid powertrain adds $3,500. Delivery is $2,395.

The Aviator comes pretty much loaded, and other than the extra-charge colours, options are pretty much limited to that aforementioned Luxury Package at $6,000, some different 22-inch wheel designs, and accessories such as locking lug nuts and an engine block heater.

As one of the models which wisely led Lincoln’s way back into the world of real model names instead of the MK-Nothing alphabet soup, the Corsair continues into 2025 as an stepping stone into the brand and one of four vehicles (all crossovers or SUVs) on sale in the brand’s showroom this year.

Shopping in this segment means one should also look at vehicles such as the Acura RDX, Cadillac XT4 or XT5, and the Lexus NX. One would be remiss not to include the Genesis G70 in this conversation, as well.

What’s new with the Lincoln Corsair for 2025?

While this machine looks very similar to its appearance last year, the addition of a Grand Touring plug-in hybrid model brings competition to others in its class rocking this type of powertrain. The brightwork on that grille can be toned down with a Jet Apperance package if yer so inclined.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Performance

The hybrid mentioned above utilizes a 2.5L gasoline-powered four-cylinder engine and electrified gubbins to make 266 horsepower, though Lincoln is cagey on the actual amount of torque this combo creates. It is funneled to the earth via all-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission. Meanwhile, the non-hybrid wears a 2.0L turbocharged mill making a healthy 250 horses and 275 lb-ft of torque. This dances with an eight-speed automatic. Both engines prefer a diet of premium fuel.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Efficiency

Lincoln Corsair models powered by the 2.0L turbo may consume 11.2 L/100km in city environs, 8.3 on the open road, and 9.9 combined. Switching to the more expensive plug-in hybrid improves those numbers to 6.9, 7.4, and 7.1 respectively. It can also travel about 40 kilometres on electricity when conditions are right. This is reasonable, given the hybrid system adds about 700 pounds compared to the gasser.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Safety

This vehicle doesn’t win any specific plaudits from the crash test dummies at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, though it gets top marks in all exams save for the tough new side impact test with its heavier (and higher) battering ram designed to better simulate real world traffic on today’s roads.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Reliability

Both predicted reliability and predicted owner satisfaction are staunchly midpack, according to Consumer Reports, citing feedback from owners and the results of other models in the Lincoln line. Infotainment is praised as easy to use but the transmission push buttons are panned.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Interior

Right now, the Corsair is in lock step with some of its similarly sized cousins in the Ford household, meaning it still has a tablet tacked on to its dashboard and a set of digital gauges bookended by black plastic or wood trim. We expect the Corsair to adopt the pillar-to-pillar type screen now appearing in the Nautilus and Navigator when this model is refreshed in a year or two.

2025 Lincoln Corsair Dimensions

Total length clocks in at 4,608 millimetres which places it closer (but not quite) to something like the Audi Q5 instead of the smaller Q3. Width is a reasonable 2,108 mm while overall height stands 1,629 mm tall

2025 Lincoln Corsair Canadian Pricing

Starting at $51,795 for the Premiere trim, buyers can walk up to a heady $59,995 for the Reserve model with snazzy gear like a Revel audio system. The plug-in hybrid Grand Touring starts at $62,485 but it is no trouble to blow past 70 grand with options (which is where the Navigator used to live not all that many years ago).

When the crossover market started growing Lincoln wanted a slice of this lucrative pie. However, its representative was the then MKX. It was a ho-hum ride that, less than two years after a remake, was quietly quashed. For 2019, after restyling the exterior and updating the interior, the MKX nameplate was replaced by Nautilus. It succeeded in boosting Lincoln’s share of the crossover market. For 2024, the Lincoln Nautilus was totally rethought with a choice of gasoline and hybrid models. For 2025 that changes, as the Nautilus hybrid has been sidelined. Once manufactured in Oakville, Ontario, the Nautilus is now manufactured in Zhejiang, China.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Competitors

The Lincoln Nautilus has strong competition these days with the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Cadillac XT5, Genesis GV70, Lexus RX, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Volvo XC60 being the key rivals.

What’s new with the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus?

Heading into 2025, the big news is a Canadian customer wanting the buy a Nautilus Hybrid will “have to work with their local dealer to get one.” It has become a special order item. On a brighter note, the Nautilus Reserve is joined by the Premiere and Lincoln’s BlueCruise is now standard for four-years before becoming a pay-to-play option.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Performance

The Nautilus is powered by a 2.0L turbo-four that makes 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. It works with an eight-speed automatic transmission to drive all four wheels. This is the same optional powertrain found in the Ford Escape — it takes six seconds to get to 100 km/h, which is 1.5 seconds faster than the heavier Nautilus. The Intelligent all-wheel-drive uses an array of sensors to monitor the driving conditions and ensure the drive goes to the wheels with grip. Under normal driving situations it powers the front wheels, but it can step in when needed. For example, when pulling away aggressively and the risk of wheelspin is high the system switches to all-wheel-drive before the front wheels lose traction.

For those interested in the Hybrid, it uses a 2.0L engine and two electric motors. The generator motor charges the battery, starts the engine and helps to spin the engine up to speed. The traction motor makes 134 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. When the engine and electric motor are working together the Nautilus has 310 hp. A CVT works with the all-wheel-drive system.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Efficiency

The Lincoln Nautilus consumes 11.2 L/100 km in the city, 8.1 L/100 km on the highway and has an average consumption of 9.8 L/100 km. The annual fuel cost of $3,038. The hybrid cuts the consumption to 7.9 L/100 km, 7.6 L/100 km and 7.7 L/100 km, respectively, and the annual fuel cost is $2,387.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Safety

In the IIHS testing the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus earned the best Top Safety+ pick rating. It has Good scores in the small front overlap, moderate front overlap original and updated tests. It also gets a Good for the side impact test, headlight performance and forward crash prevention. The NHTSA has not rated the Nautilus yet.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Reliability

Consumer Reports gave the 2024 Nautilus a score of 57 out of 100 saying, “We expect the 2024 Nautilus will have about average reliability when compared to the average new car. This prediction is based on the previous generation of the Nautilus, plus the Lincoln brand scores.”

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Interior

Peek inside the Nautilus and it’s the two 24-inch screens that combine to create an eye-catching and functional 48-inch widescreen — it runs the entire width of the crossover. The screen is divided into three distinct sections. The first section is instrumentation. The middle section houses the navigation functions. The third section sits ahead of the passenger and features different widgets like radio station info, weather, fuel economy and so on. The driver can pick three and switch them around to suit. The steering wheel is more oval than round to ensure an unobstructed view of the information presented to the driver — you look over it and not through it. There is also a traditional 11.1-inch central screen for the infotainment functions. The saving grace is the mapping in the central display is bright during the day — the map in the 48-inch screen always looks like night mode.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Dimensions

The Lincoln Nautilus is 4,907-mm long, 1,946-mm wide and it rides on a 2,900-mm wheelbase. It has a ton of rear seat space with 1,012-mm of headroom with the legroom stretching 1,095-mm. The cargo space measures 1,030L with the 60/40-split rear seat upright and 2,020L when folded flat.

2025 Lincoln Nautilus Canadian Pricing

The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus Premiere starts at $60,100 with the Reserve commanding $69,900. The now special-order hybrid powertrain adds $3,500. Delivery is $2,395.

Lincoln’s Aviator gets a refresh for 2025, including new front-end styling and features. This midsize SUV features three rows of seats and sits in Lincoln’s lineup between the full-size Navigator and two-row Nautilus. It comes exclusively with a twin-turbocharged V6 engine; a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version, dubbed the Grand Touring, was dropped after 2023 and so far, hasn’t shown any signs of returning. The Aviator competes with such three-row premium sport-utes as the Audi Q7, BMW X7, Cadillac XT6, Infiniti QX60, Lexus TX, and Mercedes-Benz GLE. It could also be cross-shopped with the Ford Explorer, with which it shares its platform.

What’s new with the Lincoln Aviator for 2025?

The refreshed 2025 Lincoln Aviator gets a new mesh grille that’s raised a bit so the upper edge aligns with the equally-new LED headlamps. Those headlamps, and the daytime running light strips, can be optionally set to sequentially illuminate as the driver approaches the vehicle. BlueCruise hands-free highway driving assist is now added to the Aviator, and as a standard feature, with a four-year subscription that will require renewal after that to keep it working. Also new for 2025, the BlueCruise feature includes in-lane repositioning and lane change assist.

A new 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster is added, along with a new 13.2-inch touchscreen with Lincoln Digital Experience, which integrates apps and services from Google and Amazon, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Digital Experience also allows streaming through apps such as Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, and iHeartRadio, or online activity through an available Vivaldi Browser app. A new Jet Package is added, with black exterior accents and unique wheels, along with a new Whisper Blue Metallic paint shade.

2025 Lincoln Aviator Performance

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator uses a twin-turbocharged V6 engine that makes 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, mated to a ten-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard, as is an adaptive air suspension and 21-inch wheels.

In their road-trip review of the 2022 Lincoln Aviator, Elle Alder and Clayton Seams found that, “Hitting the road, the Aviator is a gentle, easygoing tower block. Acceleration comes easily, with the 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine’s abundant 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque pulling the Aviator up to merge speed without a moment’s worry. It leans a little around ramps, but the reward is a forgiving grace across expansion joints and rough urban surfaces… Approach a sudden slowdown, however, and the Lincoln makes its soft suspension and 4,862-pound mass known. It’s all still manageable, but stopping anything less than proactively is a reminder of the tremendous momentum that the Aviator carries.”

2025 Lincoln Aviator Efficiency

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) hadn’t yet rated the 2025 Lincoln Aviator at time of writing, but it’s unchanged mechanically from the 2024 version, and that one is rated at 13.7 L/100 km in the city, 9.7 on the highway, and 11.9 in combined driving, for an estimated annual fuel cost of $3,451. It runs on regular-grade gasoline.

2025 Lincoln Aviator Safety

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator hadn’t been fully crash-tested by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at time of writing, but in the smash-ups it’s experienced so far, it got the highest five-star rating for side crash, and four stars for rollover. The 2024 version did the same, along with five stars for frontal crash and overall performance. Likewise, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) hasn’t smacked up the 2025 version, but the 2024 Aviator earned the top “Good” in the small overlap front, the updated side test that better simulates being struck by a large SUV, and the updated moderate front overlap, which now assesses potential injury to a rear-seat passenger as well as to those in the front.

Standard features include the new BlueCruise hands-free driving assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, traffic sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, 360-degree camera, front and rear emergency braking, and lane-keep assist.

2025 Lincoln Aviator Reliability Rating

Consumer Reports hadn’t yet tested the 2025 Lincoln Aviator at time of writing, but it gave the 2024 edition a predicted reliability rating of 35/100, and said it expects it to be “less reliable than other new cars,” based on “limited data” from the Aviator plus Lincoln’s brand scores. The Aviator didn’t earn any trophies in the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, while Lincoln as a brand ranked 25 out of all automakers, fourteen steps below the industry average.

2025 Lincoln Aviator Interior

The Aviator features a premium interior that includes a leather-wrapped dash, that new larger 13.2-inch centre screen, four-zone automatic climate control, rear-seat LED climate screen, wireless charger, ambient lighting, illuminated sill pads, heated and ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, acoustic laminated front door glass, and automatic air refresh. An optional Luxury Package - $6,000 by itself, or $7,000 to throw in 22-inch wheels alongside – adds 30-way-adjustable massaging front seats, heated and ventilated second-row seats, rear door sunshades, and a 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system with subwoofer.

In their road-trip review of the 2022 Lincoln Aviator, Elle Alder and Clayton Seams said, “The cabin is spacious, the seats adjust in so many ways it’s almost overwhelming, and the outside world seems wonderfully far away… While rear seats can often feel like a penalty box, the second-row passengers in the Aviator are treated to nearly as many delights as those in the front. The seats recline, there’s a touch screen for music and HVAC controls, a large cubby for phones, plenty of chargers, and a pair of cupholders in case you get thirsty… The Aviator’s third-row seat is replete with USB charge ports, but is simply not as roomy or comfy as the second row. For a long drive, this space is best left for cargo.”

2025 Lincoln Aviator Dimensions

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator has an overall length of 5,072 mm (199.7 in). Headroom starts at 1,021 mm (40.2 in) in the front seat and then falls back to 937 mm (36.9 in) by the time it gets to the third row. Front-seat legroom is generous at 1,092 mm (43 in) and for those in the second row at 1,021 mm (40.2 in), but the third row is a scant 741 mm (29.2 in) that’s best left for younger children or very short adults. The second row comes standard with captain’s chairs for seven-passenger seating, but these can be swapped for a 35/30/35 bench seat that increases the Aviator to eight occupants.

Cargo capacity is 543 litres behind the third row; 1,209 litres when that one’s folded; and up to 2,225 litres of cargo volume when the third and second rows are down. Towing capacity is a maximum of 5,000 lbs, and a Class III trailer package is included.
