Simply put, the all-new Lincoln Aviator is an exceptionally done machine. It’s quiet, comfortable, powerful and stylish. But its biggest accomplishment might be Lincoln’s confidence to let it stand on its own with a unique classic character. Tom Voelk travels to Yountville, California to drive a Black Label V6 twin turbo model.
A separate video that covers the plug-in hybrid Grand Touring model will drop in a few days when the embargo lifts. Tom attended a manufacturer’s event to cover this car. Opinions remain his own.

Acuravigor47 Every where I’ve looked this up it says *horsepower ratings on 93 octane fuel. This is the same power rating as the Explorer ST and that’s on premium as well. Turbo motors make more power with higher octane typically. I will say that it’s very nice if you want to save some cash you can put in lower octane at the expense of some power and mileage.

Wow, you need to look at European cars, if you think that engine on this monstrosity is powerful, sheesh, you really are nut jobs in America, aint ya. I can think of one car straight away that blows this monstrosity out of the water. It is called a BMW X7 oh and this vehicle looks mysteriously similar, hmm, just made in America and has a low horsepower engine pulling several tons of metal. Old materials you Americans use to build your cars too. You truly are the polluters of this planet.

@lightbox8019 5 жыл бұрын

Graggle5 How can you be so wrong. You say it has low power but you also want it to be efficient? This thing is a plug in hybrid with 700 lbft torque lol, that’s fast. It’s also way smaller than an x7. It’s an x5 competitor. It’s also built on a car platform not an old body on frame .and made out of aluminum. I love European cars too in fact I own two. But I’m not ignorant to think this isn’t nice as well.
