Lincoln Aviator: First Look – Cars.com

we’re here at the 2018 New York Auto Show to check out the latest creationfrom Lincoln The Aviator is 3-row SUV now a finalized version of The Aviatorisn’t quite ready yet so what we’re seeing here is what Lincoln calls aproduction preview but they did also tell us that the styling and the thingsthat we see here are very very close to what we’re gonna see on the productioncar just with some slight changes to things like the side mirrors andpotentially the wheels now one of our favorite styling elements on the Aviatoris this grille now we’ve seen this girl before on other Lincoln models in thesame shape however what they’ve done is they’ve reversed the mesh to give itmore of a three-dimensional look and it sits very upright it gives the front ofthe car so I’m distinctiveness from the rest of the lineup and I think that aperson who looks fantastic I’m also a big fan of this paint color which iscalled flight blue and that kind of keeps with the aviation motif that wehave for the whole styling of the vehicle now one other thing that I verymuch like is this belt line here this chrome strip makes it easy to see thatit runs very horizontally flat all the way from the front to the back of thecar and this does two things one it makes the car as a whole up herea little bit lower and two it allows you to have these very large windows in thefirst second and third rows and what that does is it allows more light intothe cabin it makes it feel more airy and spacious for occupants now on theinterior the same sort of caveat supply this is a pre-production model so therecould be some changes and materials however the overall design should staypretty much the same which is a good thing it is a very very calm verypeaceful interior the Aviator also borrows some of the best features of thenavigator interior that we liked including this 10 inch screen in thecenter console one other thing that it also grabbed is these 30 Way poweredperfect position seats with massage function and Lincoln actually says thaton the aviator they change the massage pattern to make it more soothing nowLincoln is calling the aviator a medium-sized SUV and will actually havethree rows of seating for up to seven occupants now as we mentioned beforethis really big glass scene around the second and third rows give us some ofthe best back seat visibility of any SUV that I’ve been in and something that I’dreally appreciate on a longer trip being able to see out of the car helps it tofeel more spacious I mean Lincoln also says a six foot twopassenger should be able to fit easily in the second row one claim that wecan’t check though Lincoln says a six foot passenger will actually be able tofit in the third row but they’re not letting anyone back there the good newsis though that there will be easy access on the second row both on the passengerand I recite so both sides will actuallytilt forward and slide out so you can get into the third row easily thoughfinal details on the Aviator are a little bit hard to come by there are afew things that we know from Lincoln that are worth mentioning the first ispower trains now the standard power train will be a twin turbocharged engineof some kind but the exciting option will be that they will actually pile ina plug-in hybrid system on top of that to give you some electrification if youwant it the second thing that I actually really am looking forward to is theAviator will come with a forward facing camera and what it will do is it willread the road between seven to ten meters ahead of you so we’ll check outthings like potholes brakes on the road and it will actually change the adaptivesuspension to smooth out the ride as you go over them now we don’t have an exacton sale date for the Aviator yet we all we know is that it will go intoproduction sometime next year and on sale sometime in 2019you
