Engine and Performance
The 2022 Lincoln Aviator is powered by a 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged V-6. This is one of the most powerful engines to come standard in any midsize luxury SUV. The 3.0L V-6 excels at providing fast, reactive performance as it smoothly shifts through its automatic 10-speed transmission. Lincoln has managed to design a powertrain that is not only quick and powerful but comfortable and controlled as well.There is also a plug-in hybrid model in the Aviator Grand Touring. It uses the same roaring V-6 paired with a 100 horsepower electric motor with a 13.6-kWh battery. These two motors combine for a blistering 494 horsepower and 630 lb.-ft of torque. On battery alone, the plug-in Aviator can travel up to 18 miles in the Pure EV driving mode. There are plenty of driving modes to fine-tune your Lincoln experience.The Aviator is available in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. They average 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.

If you opt for the second-row captain's chairs, you can pick from different center consoles. There's plenty of cargo space available for long road trips. In the driver's seat, you'll feel pampered with Lincoln's Perfect Position seats, offering you 30-way adjustability and massaging features.
