Specs at a Glance

Luxury is all about going above and beyond the mundane. That's exactly what Lincoln strives to do with their 2026 Aviator design. They focus on "elegant details" and "exceptional style" to "help ensure comfort for all." You don't need words to describe the Aviator, though. Up close and personal, this luxurious SUV's appearance speaks for itself. The Premiere and Reserve trims are standouts in the lineup.

Performance

The Aviator's base model is the elegant Premiere trim. It delivers power through a 3.0L V6 engine that's rated at 400 horsepower. This engine will also be standard on the Reserve trim. Performance is about more than power, though, and many drivers will appreciate the adaptive Pixel LED headlamps that the Reserve trim adds to the design. Reserve trims also offer up a Dynamic Handling package not available on the Premiere trim.

Appearance

There are striking differences between the Premiere and Reserve trim. While both get the elegant design of an Aviator, the Premiere comes with 20" Magnetic Bright-Machined aluminum wheels, and the Reserve sports 21" Bright-Machined aluminum wheels with Dark-Alloy painted pockets. Only the Reserve offers the option for adaptive Pixel LED headlamps and Lincoln Dynamic Signature lighting.

Features

All trims of the 2026 Lincoln Aviator are stacked with technology, interior luxury, and driver-assistance features. Both the Premiere and Reserve get a 13.2-inch LCD capacitive center stack screen with swipe capability and Intelligent Access with push-button start. Premiere trims also throw in a leather-wrapped wheel with media controls. However, the Premiere comes with Lincoln Soft Touch seats, and the Reserve gets premium leather seating. Reserve trims add the comfort of Perfect Position front seats with 30-way power adjustment. All drivers should also compare driver-assistance and safety features. Certain features are simply non-negotiable for some families. Premiere and Reserve trims come with standard pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, a rear view camera, and a lane keeping system. However, Reserve trims are also available with advanced features like an Air Glide suspension system with dynamic lower entry, something that adds confidence to every driver's day. Our team can help you decide which trim offers the right features for you.
