The 2026 Lincoln Aviator is a three-row luxury SUV that boasts striking design and generous interior space designed to keep everyone comfortable. A vigorous standard powertrain ensures this family vehicle is also deeply satisfying to drive. Let's examine a comparison of the Aviator Premiere and the high-end Aviator Black Label.
Performance
Both of these trims share an aggressive 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine under the hood. This powerful unit is rated to produce 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Power delivery is managed by a ten-speed automatic transmission featuring SelectShift capability. Drivers will also appreciate the vehicle's adaptive suspension system, which ensures optimal ride smoothness and refined handling. Thanks to the Aviator's standard Trailer Tow Package, it has a confident towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds.
The Premiere trim gives buyers the option of selecting between the standard Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and an available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) configuration. In contrast, All-Wheel Drive comes standard across the board on the Black Label trim.
Appearance
The Aviator Premiere presents a sharp and sophisticated look. It includes several distinct exterior details, such as 20-inch machined aluminum wheels and prominent quad chrome exhaust tips. A bold front end, complete with signature LED headlights, contributes to the SUV's strong road presence. Customers have a selection of appealing exterior paint options, including Red Carpet Metallic Tinted Clearcoat and Crystal White Metallic Clearcoat.
Easily recognizable by its illuminated Lincoln Star within the grille and LED fog lights, the Aviator Black Label certainly distinguishes itself from other vehicles. To give the top-tier Aviator Black Label an even more dramatic profile, Lincoln fits it with exclusive 22-inch wheels. Adaptive pixel LED headlamps are another feature that helps set the Black Label trim apart.
Features
The Aviator Premiere is well-appointed with more than enough features to guarantee a luxurious and enjoyable ride for all passengers. Heated and ventilated front seats help maintain comfort throughout the day. For reduced driving fatigue on long journeys, the vehicle includes BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology. The Lincoln Digital Experience interface is a centerpiece of the in-vehicle technology, featuring a customizable 13.2-inch display integrated with Google apps. Further key features include a 10-speaker premium sound system, a fully digital instrument cluster, and a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot.
The Black Label trim elevates the luxury further with a Panoramic Vista Roof. Its 30-way Perfect Position front seats are particularly beneficial on extended drives. For serious audiophiles, the 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system is a must-have feature. Additional upscale touches include soft-close doors, climate-controlled second-row seating, and an advanced head-up display.
