2022 Lincoln Aviator Prices: MSRP vs Dealer Invoice vs True Dealer Cost w/Holdback

There's a lot to appreciate about the 2022 Lincoln Aviator. It's luxurious in just about every way, from the manner in which it handles itself to the sophisticated materials in its cabin. As a three-row SUV, the Lincoln Aviator is spacious and strong, and it should be a real treat to drive.

Engine Options and Performance

Two different powertrains are available with the 2022 Lincoln Aviator. The standard engine is a V6 that has twin turbochargers. It has a displacement of 3.0 liters, and it's able to create 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. On its own, this engine can do so much and gives the Aviator the ability to outperform many competitors.

There is another option, and that's to get the 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine along with an electric system. This configuration is found on the plug-in version of the Aviator. The gas-powered engine and an electric motor work together to make 494 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. These are truly incredible numbers.

The plug-in hybrid Aviator can run on electric power alone for about 20 miles. This isn't a huge range, but it could work for those who frequently run short errands around town. A benefit of a plug-in hybrid is that it can rely on gas power whenever it runs out of electric power. Drivers will still be able to go on long road trips and explore wherever they'd like to without having to worry about charging their batteries.

Models with the standard powertrain have available all-wheel drive. The default option is to have rear-wheel drive. The plug-in hybrid versions come standard with all-wheel drive so they can have better traction. Hill start assist is included on all trims across the lineup.

An advanced feature that's available on the Aviator is air glide suspension. Instead of regular hard coil springs, there are air bladders, and they can inflate or deflate depending on what's needed. They can stiffen up when driving on the highway and become a bit more flexible when going over uneven terrain. They can even lower the vehicle as someone approaches it, making it easier to load up the cabin.

How the Aviator Is Designed

This SUV is very sophisticated. It looks stunning from just about every angle, thanks to its athletic stance and smooth lines. When someone approaches the vehicle with the key fob, the exterior lighting provides a warm welcome. The SUV can also greet people with an illuminated Lincoln logo projected from the sideview mirror.

On the front of the model, the Lincoln logo shines in the middle of a striking, geometric front grille. The grille is flanked by LED lights, and there are available adaptive pixel LED headlamps that can make adjustments depending on how much light would be useful. They can adjust their angles as well, based on the direction in which the Lincoln is traveling.

Inside the cabin, there are more refined elements. An available active noise control system can make things so peaceful, as can the acoustic-laminate windshield.

The three rows of seating all have ample leg room. In the back row, the two seats can be folded down with the press of a button. The middle row can either have a bench seat with three positions or it can have two captain's chairs. If captain's chairs are selected, there can be a center console for convenience.

Lincoln chose materials for the cabin that work well together. Different types of leathers, open-pore woods, and aluminum trim are some of the highlights that can be found around the console and dashboard of the Aviator. There's an upscale atmosphere in the cabin, with everything having a place and nothing unnecessary affecting the look.

Technology

Those who love high-tech features will be very pleased with the Lincoln Aviator. Behind its steering wheel, it has a 12.3-inch digital information cluster. Front and center, there's a 10.1-inch touchscreen. Smartphone connectivity is standard, and so is Lincoln+Alexa, which provides access to all kinds information.

Further, the SUV can act as a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. The network it offers can be used by up to ten devices at the same time. This makes it easier to stream content, take part in video calls, and play online games when traveling.

With the Lincoln Way app, users can program their phones to act as digital keys to the vehicle. When someone has a designated phone with them, the doors can be unlocked and push button start will work.

From a safety perspective, technology has been used thoughtfully in the Aviator. There's an available 360-degree camera that gives people a full perspective of what's around them. The available head-up display provides important driving information, and the available active park assist program can handle steering, braking, and acceleration during parking. It works for both parallel and reverse perpendicular spots.

Driver-assist technology can protect whoever is riding in the Lincoln Aviator. The SUV can sense when impacts seem likely, and it may be able to hit the brakes or make an adjustment to steering in order to avoid certain types of accidents.

Most people would find the Lincoln Aviator to be quite luxurious. It has beautiful features, and better yet, it has a strong engine that gives it plenty of power. It's great that customers can choose between a traditional powertrain and a plug-in hybrid system, too.

A note about rebates: Most rebates are subtracted from the "on the road" figure. In most cases, you can have the rebate if you are arranging your own financing or you are paying cash.
