When you choose the 2021 Lincoln Aviator, you’re opting for on-road excellence. This midsize three-row luxury SUV is pure style, inside and out. Cabin appointments include opulent leather upholstery and street-smart infotainment. And the Aviator is not only quick to get going, it’s also smooth and refined, delivering the kind of performance that only adds to its opulence.
The 2021 Aviator is both rugged and stylishly striking, with flashy wheel options and a prominent mesh grille. Standard exterior features, including LED headlights and a power liftgate, put an upscale touch on everyday convenience. And, with its impressive list of exterior options, the Aviator will attract as much notice as you can handle.
Besides letting people know you’ve arrived, the 2021 Aviator gets you around in style. This three-row SUV delivers the kind of luxury experience you crave, with generous passenger space, plush leather upholstery, and all the latest climate control technology. Indeed, the Aviator makes a point of providing hours and hours of on-road comfort.
The Aviator’s long list of tech features exceeds expectations. Some of our favorite standard features include the Wi-Fi hotspot, which, along with a data subscription, provides an excellent safety net should your smartphone connection falter. We’re also big fans of Lincoln’s Sync 3 infotainment system. Standard in every Aviator trim model, it provides quick access to your smartphone apps via its 10.3-inch touch screen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration technology.
Safety is another high point for the 2021 Lincoln Aviator. In government crash tests, this luxury SUV earned a perfect five-star rating for overall safety. It’s also loaded with safety aids designed to help you avoid a collision, such as the blind-spot monitor and forward collision mitigation systems.
As you climb the Aviator trim levels, there’s even more to keep you safe, including a lane-keeping system and adaptive cruise control. The optional evasive steering assist technology adds to the forward collision mitigation system, taking over steering to help you avoid a potential crash. The Aviator’s optional automated parking system can actually steer the SUV into a parking space with little to no interference on your part. Finally, the optional lane-keeping system gently alters steering to keep the Aviator smack dab in the middle of the lane.
When it’s time to get going, you’ll be pleased with the Aviator’s quick response time and ample power. Both engine options mean business, with more than enough horsepower to send this big, three-row SUV sailing into highway traffic flows with ease. Each of the Aviator’s engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that’s always ready and willing to respond to your requests for more speed. With optional all-wheel drive, you can even take your Aviator down off-road trails with greater control.
Naturally, the Aviator’s EPA ratings depend upon powertrain and equipment. Using gas and electric power, the optional hybrid powertrain offers the most efficiency, earning 56 MPGe.
The 2021 Lincoln Aviator is here for families who love big toys—that is, boats, four-wheelers, Jet Skis, and the like. With the standard, gas-powered engine, this modern SUV can tow up to 6,700 pounds. Aviators with the hybrid powertrain max out at 5,600 pounds.
Choose from five Aviator models: Standard, Reverse, Black Label, Grand Touring, and Grand Touring Black Label. Each is lavishly equipped with plush comfort features and—especially—savvy tech features. As you move up the trim levels, you’ll find yourself in an increasingly stylish three-row SUV.
The entry-level Aviator kicks things off with plenty of modern convenience features and an especially excellent tech lineup. Staying connected is no problem, thanks to the in-cabin Wi-Fi hotspot (data subscription required) and Sync 3 infotainment system (which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities). The Aviator even includes an integrated navigation system, something you don’t see on every list of standard features.
The Reserve adds to the Standard’s tech-savvy standard lineup with extra features to enhance your comfort. This means you get premium leather upholstery, ambient interior lighting, and a 14-speaker audio system. The Reserve also adds to the safety lineup with a 360-degree surround-view camera to help you navigate parallel parking spaces.
The Grand Touring adds to the Reserve lineup with the powerful hybrid powertrain. It also includes standard all-wheel drive, giving you both a quicker and sportier ride. And its panoramic sunroof dresses up the cabin.
The fully loaded Grand Touring Black Label combines the features of the Black Label and the Grand Touring models, making it both very quick and very handsomely equipped.
The Black Label’s main attraction is that it comes with Lincoln’s Black Label services. With them, you’ll enjoy premium maintenance and pickup and delivery for service. Black Label services also include a points program; accumulate enough points to redeem them for exclusive offers.
This Aviator also comes standard with a number of options packages, which means more luxury, modern convenience, and high-tech safety. For instance, the Luxury Package includes a 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D premium audio system. And the Convenience Package puts the coveted wireless phone charger at your fingertips. With the Co-Pilot360 Plus Package, features like active park and evasive steering assist actively help you be the best possible driver.
Every 2021 Aviator comes with an important safety net: Lincoln’s broad warranty coverage. Should something go wrong during the allotted time and mileage period, your friendly Lincoln dealer will be ready with a timely fix.

The second-generation Aviator was introduced for the 2020 model year. While we expect Lincoln to continue to update its three-row luxury SUV each model year, we don’t expect another redesign anytime too soon.
