LOVE MY 2023 LINCOLN AVIATOR! I did a lot (and I mean a lot) of research before ordering this luxury SUV. We are GM people and since 1999 have driven 2 Suburbans, 1 Yukon XL, and our latest...a 2015 Yukon XL Denali. I am a brand loyalist and did not really expect to move away from GM BUT on a trip to Boston a few years back the rental company gave us a Lincoln Nautilus and it was so much fun to drive. I saw the 2020 Aviator when it rolled out and thought it was striking. We don't get new vehicles often, and honestly with our active lives and 3 children (baseball, softball, and ALL the other activities) needed the full size SUV. On a trip to Colorado this past March I wanted to rent an Aviator but they did not have one available, so I asked for a Range Rover. I enjoyed driving the Range Rover and considered it for our next purchase, but I just kept coming back to the Aviator. Then my brother bought a BMW X5 and I drove it and enjoyed riding around with him in it.....but I kept coming back to the Aviator. I wanted to buy and experience American luxury! Finally, I test drove the only Aviator on the lot at Planet Lincoln in Spring, TX and I was blown away. The acceleration, the handling, the interior, the Revel stereo system....all of it was awesome and I was sold on it. I pre-ordered a 2023 before I left. That was May 26th and a mere 3 months later, my custom-built black 2023 Lincoln Aviator Black Label AWD, chalet interior with all the bells and whistles came! We picked it up Saturday, August 27th and had the best experience. The drive home (about 2 hours) was so much fun!! It handles so well and feels so responsive and comfortable, and the massaging seats felt sooooo good. LOVE the lighting, both interior and exterior and the way the Lincoln bows and greets with the "light show" you when you walk up to it! The lighted Lincoln badge in the front is such a nice touch and the adaptive lighting when you are turning curves was really bright! The 28 speaker Revel speaker system makes you feel like you are in the front row of a concert and the little demonstration that is available in the "Sound" app on the infotainment system blew us away! The kids keep commenting on the huge sunroof and how sporty the car is. They love the big console in the back and how they can control the music. Also neat how the second and third rows have their own separate AC/heating controls. My father-in-law even liked it, and he is a GM man only who said we would regret buying a Lincoln/Ford product. I am hopeful that all of the kinks from the initial release of the 2020 model have been worked out. I know the Navigator has been a dependable vehicle over the years and I would expect nothing less on the 4th year edition of the Aviator. I'm so happy that Lincoln has such a beautiful automobile in their lineup. We could have bought anything, including a Cadillac Escalade, but for us the Lincoln Aviator checked all the boxes!

Regarding your comment about ordering time, we placed an order for an Aviator Black Label Grand Touring in early January. Lincoln's estimated manufacturing start is June 20.

That chroma caviar looks so different inside vs outside. You should do a video of it outside.

Active Glide is available on the 2022 Navigator only, as well as the cloud based SYNC 4 Technology. It is not yet available on the Aviator. Hopefully it will be soon! I apologize for the error in the video.

2022 Aviator has Sync 3. Navigator and Nautilus have Sync 4.Active Glide is only on Navigator.

Can I trade in my 2017 Lincoln Continental?
