Luxury is about rising above the ordinary. That's precisely what Lincoln aims for with the 2026 Aviator. The design emphasizes "elegant details" and "exceptional style" to "help ensure comfort for all." You really don't need words to describe the Aviator-its presence speaks volumes. Up close, this luxurious SUV makes a strong impression, with the Premiere and Reserve trims standing out in the lineup.
Performance
The Aviator's base model is the sophisticated Premiere trim, powered by a 3.0L V6 engine producing 400 horsepower. This same engine is standard on the Reserve trim as well. Performance extends beyond raw power, and many drivers will appreciate the adaptive Pixel LED headlamps available on the Reserve. Additionally, Reserve trims can be equipped with a Dynamic Handling package not offered on the Premiere.
Appearance
There are clear distinctions between the Premiere and Reserve trims. Both showcase the Aviator's refined design, but the Premiere comes with 20" Magnetic Bright-Machined aluminum wheels, while the Reserve features 21" Bright-Machined aluminum wheels with Dark-Alloy painted pockets. The Reserve is the only trim to offer adaptive Pixel LED headlamps and Lincoln Dynamic Signature lighting.
Features
All 2026 Lincoln Aviator trims are loaded with advanced technology, luxurious interiors, and driver-assistance features. Both Premiere and Reserve trims include a 13.2-inch LCD capacitive center stack screen with swipe functionality, as well as Intelligent Access with push-button start. Premiere trims also feature a leather-wrapped steering wheel with media controls, while the seats are Lincoln Soft Touch. Reserve trims elevate the experience with premium leather seating and Perfect Position front seats with 30-way power adjustment. Safety is a priority, with standard pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, and lane-keeping system on both trims. Reserve trims can also be equipped with advanced options like the Air Glide suspension system with dynamic lower entry, enhancing confidence and comfort on every drive. Our team can help you determine which trim offers the best combination of features for your needs.
