Today is Mike's Birthday! Drop a happy birthday in the comments below for that sweet KZfaq Algorithm & for Mike too... *Note we missed the Wireless Charger, there is one.

This car definitely is on the Mercedes and bmw level. You compared it to a BUICK? A ACURA? Those companies are premium at BEST. the Lincoln is a luxury car.

Great video! I'm actually 1 of those consumers who considered a BMW X5/X7, Audi Q8 and ended up getting the Lincoln Aviator. It has it flaws (like any other vehicle) but I'm extremely happy with my decision. After all, I won't go broke trying to maintain it for years in!

People buying a merc aren’t looking at an aviator but they should. The aviator is a step above the infinity and acura

I was in the market and didn't start out looking at Lincolns. A BMW, Audi, Lexus, and Volvo we’re all options but I ended up driving one and there was no turning back! Love my Grand Touring and talk about pep!

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!

I love my 2022 aviator. it's the definition of real luxury. quiet and smooth drive with zero highway noise. Very classy and neck turning!

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator does have wireless charging inside the console. There is a clip looking feature. That's it. The bigger issue I don't like is the lack of front passenger seat memory buttons. With all that adjustability they put in, the passenger is SOL if someone changes their prior time consuming configuration.

I love my Aviator, mine is white, so the black accents look even more amazing with also black interior .. love my white!!

Seems like the production quality is getting great keep up the good work I’ve been a fan for a while now

I don't understand why you only have 127K subscribers...you know your stuff the video transitions are super clean and there is no reason why you don't have more subscribers than Doug. He makes his videos 30-40 min long and you keep it short but informative. Definitely subscribing!! Keep up the amazing work!

looks beautiful and I’m under 60 and I love that burgundy color 😂😂

Hey there- Great job on the video! I purchased the Aviator Grand Touring Black Label (plug-in hybrid). I love it! Like a few people and yourself mentioned, there are a few flaws, but I'd say overall it's closer to an A++then an A, or lower. (Mid 9's out of 10, 95 to 100 out of 100, etc etc) I won't reiterate all of the positive aspects you thoroughly covered in the video, but I definitely concur with you on both the positive and negative features. The "kneel down" welcoming suspension is an underrated feature I feel. Also, with the plug-in hybrid there is an incredible jump in efficiency. Of course the range isn't very far when it's switched to full electric mode, but when it is switched to conserve (full hybrid mode) the MPG improves from what you would expect for a Mid size SUV, to the MPG of something similar to a small economy car. I could go on about every detail, but it is not necessary thanks to the video. The one minor thing to point out is that there's a wireless charging area in the front center counsel. Personally I think it could be in a better location, but it does exist. Any chance you can review the Lincoln Zephyr (only sold in Asia as of now). And if so, is there a Zephyr Black Label? Thanks and keep the videos coming!

Sir, as a FORD owner, the way you get around those handles is with your key fob. An owner, like myself, most of the time, I unlock my car with my key fob. Then when I go to open my car, in the next second or two, the door unlatches and an opens simultaneously.

Happy Birthday! Thank you for noticing the details and then commenting on them. At the Aviator's price point the small details can change a buying decision. Fantastic review!

This is such a great and in depth review!🎉 Thank you!

I'm well under 60 and love that color. Great stuff, keep up the good work!

Nice video! Loved the commentary and the flow, never a dull moment! Appreciate the in-depth look at it.

I’ve been waiting to see a jet package aviator on KZfaq! Looks amazing!

One thing nobody on any of these reviews ever talks about is what happens when they break ? Had a BMW X5 M50 I live in VA only 1 dealer in my area Eng wiring harness burned up took forever before that had a Mercedes GLE 450 it died with 3500 miles in N Michigan nearest dealer was 300 miles took a month. Ford/ Lincoln dealers everywhere

I was going to lease another GLE but the Aviator looks better and feels more luxurious.

That is a beautiful vehicle that will be a classic in time. Gorgeous color and video. Feel sorry for you all up north and that weather.

I love that paint color and black rims!!!!!

If customers themselves sit in an Aviator vs BMW X5 vs Mercedes GLE vs Lexus RX, they'll know Aviator is much more premium materials, stronger engine, better speakers etc. Everything.

Interior and exterior esthetics are 🔥 I'll just browse through the apparel for now lol

I never watch car reviews but my wife is interested in a Lincoln Aviator. This dude is funny. Good quality video

the aviator does have wireless charging in the center console storage bin

This is a sharp looking SUV. Not our grandparents Lincoln.

agree black roof top on the black label would have pushed it passed 10/10. Looks solid though

Love the content!

This is what I've been waiting for!!!

Put some respect on the #LincolnAviator. 💯 wireless charging comes with the Aviator

I drove the BMW X7 M and wanted the speed of that. After driving the Audi and thinking it was slow, i tried the Aviator out and winner winner!! Love my Aviator!

Awesome video, hope the 2023 model has the bigger and updated infotainment scree running sync 4 also needs fords hands free active glide

Great video!

These intros are off the hook 🪝

Just purchased my 2022 Black Label and in love with it! FYI it does have wireless charging. It's in the center console armrest on the side

The wireless charger is located in the front center storage area towards the driver side, just slip the phone snd it charges. Btw with fuel prices now a days is excellent with standard driving mode went from north dade to the keys back and forth only spent 1/2 tank.. A+++for that

good channel my friend , big fan

NEW SUB 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I LOVE THE AVIATOR 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰And You 😃😊 You really know your stuff!!! 😊 Keep The Videos Coming

Just wanted to point out that it has wireless charging. The location is inside the center console box, below the armrest.

Great video. Would be good to have the unit conversions on screen (miles to km, gallon to litre etc)

Happy birthday Mike!

I'm a 19 yearold wanting the Aviator in that red lmao

It looks amazing

I don't know what coffee you drink but I need a cup (just one...) every Monday morning to face the week.

Thanks for the review... Regarding the wireless charging, check the Center arm rest storage, you should find it there...

What is the best suv you have tested

Happy birthday Mike! 🎂

ML needs this as a business whip, show some love!

In a Cadillac XT4 this week and I’m loving it but it doesn’t have the refinement that I need though…so close though! Lol

This channel is underrated such quality content

I LOVE my 2022 Aviator Black Label!

This dude is really having trouble with these door handles 🤣 It's not that difficult at all

It would be great if you could throw a review of the Corsair Grand Touring (PHEV), really interested on hearing your thoughts on it since we are seriously considering but we're on the fence between that and an EV or the Sportage/Sorento PHEV

Great review. Can you do a review of the 2022 Ford Expedition please.

Super thanks 🙏🏻🌷

Nice Lincoln Intro :)

DP - I was looking at either the GLE, X5, Q8, Range, XC90, YukonDenali, and Navigator...ended up with an Aviator after going for a test drive in a Navigator (not old, mid 30's). Hindsight, the Denali, Range, and GLE would have better due to resale value in the current markets. Lincoln could improve on the sound damping, but compared to the GLE, X5 and Q8 the interior feels more spacious and seats are comfy. Cargo space is amazing as well. As someone mentioned already, I find it odd how the passenger seat doesn't have memory buttons. The cargo cover doesn't have mounts for when the 3rd row are folded. At high speeds, the built in spray/windshield wipers drip over the drivers window=residue. The console compartment doesn't offer additional charging ports requiring the passenger to utilize the rear seat console plugs. The "ambient" lights are a joke.

Our Reserve Trim does have the wireless charging. It's inside the center console and doesn't charge very fast, but you can get it.

I actually own a Q7 but I'm going to get an Aviator. As a 38 year old I actually like the Burgundy color though most of my vehicles are white .

I drive a nautilus and we are seriously considering moving up to the aviator in 2 years.

I like all Lincoln products!! I can buy it bro.

What are your thoughts regarding the current electrical issues any system shutdowns that owners are currently reporting on their 2022 Aviators. I’m hoping that these will improve for 2023. Also what about sync 4…. Should we hold out for this upgrade before purchasing?? Honest opinion please

your aviator does have wireless charging its right under your right elbow in the center glove box with a clip to hold it in.

You forgot Land Rover. In Texas quite a few people that have them have traded them in and prefer the Lincoln.

Hi ACCELER8 Can You make The 2022 Cadillac Escalade Sport Platinum Thank You You Are My Nice KZfaq Happy Birthday Mike Vanhoudt For Tomorrow

Had this car in Dubai. Really loved it! Too bad they don't sell it Europa and don't have a full electric version

beauty

8:18 it would be awesome if you would review the grand touring (the hybrid) for 2023.

You do some test runs on Bostwick Rd?

It has wireless charging in central console box

A gas station in my area, removed the gas price sign cause is so expensive, it drives people away. 🤨

The MkT replacement. A very nice American Town Car. 🇺🇸 Would've like to have seen the 500hp review. 👍

The Ford Explorer with the Lincoln Aviator appearance package.

The Aviator is every match Mercedes, BMW and Audi.

I know it's purely subjective but if this was a boxing match then pound for pound which the best between the 2022 Lincoln Aviator and the top of the range Range Rover ?

Check inside the center console for the wireless charger feature?

Sometimes the more gadgets and tech a car has the more problems to fix down the road

Wireless charge is in the center console along the wall! Super weird spot for it.

Umm are from America?? All Ford and Lincolns and especially mercury's cruise to 200k like its nothing. But this is GORGEOUUSSSSSS

They need to update the back/trunk styling and these cars will be real luxury then.

Very well described, your reviews are next level 👊🏻. I really like the Aviator. I considered it , however, for the needs of my family we ordered a Telluride. I know they’re not in the same category but I think it couldn’t justify the price for a 4 year lease . And for some reason I really don t like the Explorer .

If the PHEV gets a big battery, it would be a consideration

There is wireless charging in the console storage compartment on the wall closest to driver. I have an Aviator.

Are you sure there's not a wireless charger in the center console? It's on the driver's side and looks like a big clip.

Wow there are actual buttons where shit isnt controlled all by the touchscreen..good job Lincoln.

Are you sure there is no wireless charging? My 2020 has a wireless charger inside the center console.

👍

they should give us the 3.5L (~500hp), bring in the updated 10 speed (800ft lbs rated) and the updated pancake EV motor (330 ft lbs, 210 hp) then put 305's on all 4 corners and integrate ZF's 15 degree rear wheel steer. Air suspension with road preview, black label interior. There's your Aviator RS. Basic leather interior, mechanical suspension, delete rear steer. There's your Explorer RS.

It does have wireless charging in the center console

I’m a Lincoln aviator black labor owner myself I gotta disagree with you I’m 35 and guess what color I have it yes sir that burgundy is an amazing car 🚗 and yes I would prefer before any BMW X5 or Gle what is my reason Power

You know I forgot all about the Buicks. So it is smaller. But it does still look comfy. The size difference is definitely still a deflate though.

No love for Toyota and Lexus? Don't see any reviews on those. lol Happy Birthday Mike.

Me under 60 ordering burgundy velvet on my aviator 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bro you leave under a rock…Oakland, California gas is $5.89, if you’re lucky $5.64

Did mention the park itslef function

This vs GV80 vs Velar 400 R-dynamic vs Cherokee summit Reserve?

Happy belated birthday 🥳

#Lincoln over Cadillac
