    2025 Lincoln Aviator Gets New Wings and Cockpit

      The updated 2025 Lincoln Aviator gets a freshened look, an upgraded interior, and the new Lincoln Digital Experience infotainment system.

    Lincoln took the wraps off the re-imagined 2025 Lincoln Aviator today. The Aviator re-joined the Lincoln lineup in 2019 after a 14-year absence.

    2025 Lincoln Aviator side profileThe exterior of the Aviator has received a mild, but handsome freshening, bringing the look, especially in the grille, in line with the upcoming 2025 Lincoln Nautilus.

    New available lighting packages use light strips to welcome the owner via a light sequence called Lincoln Embrace as they approach, reversing the sequence as the vehicle is powered off.  The Illumination Package, now standard on the Reserve and Black Label trims includes an illuminated Lincoln Star, adaptive pixel LED headlamps, speed-dependent lighting, adaptive bending lighting, and dynamic signature lighting with LED daytime running lamps.

    Two new wheel designs may be chosen. Standard are 20-inch bright machined aluminum wheels with Magnetic-painted pockets, while 2-inch Ebony Black bright machined aluminum wheels with gloss-black painted pockets and center caps are available. Additional wheel personalization is available with the Jet Package, available on each trim with unique designs.

    2025 Lincoln Aviator BlueCruiseInside, a reinterpreted version of the popular Black Onyx design theme is now called Lincoln Black Label Invitation and intrigues occupants with handwritten calligraphy and the feel of a crafted black paper invitation. Continuing from last year is the also-popular Lincoln Black Label Flight theme, combining a Luggage Tan and Ebony with a dark engine turn appliqués to inspire memories of early flight instrument panels.

    The available 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D Audio System will continue to envelop each occupant in multidimensional sound while they relax in the available 30-way Perfect Position Front Seats.

    New standard features on all 2025 Aviators include:

    • BlueCruise hands-free highway driving for four years
    • All-New Lincoln Digital Experience
    • Lincoln Connected Service for one year
    • Lincoln Co-Pilot 360 2.1
    • Auto Air Refresh
    • Panoramic Vista Roof
    • Power, heated steering wheel
    • Heated and ventilated front seats
    • Wireless phone charging
    • Phone as a Key
    • Adaptive Suspension
    • Class III Trailer Package

    The new Lincoln Digital Experience infotainment system with Google Assistant and Alex built-in offers a voice-first experience for drivers and passengers alike.  The new system can adjust cabin climate, send texts, tune to a specific radio station, and more, just with voice commands.

    The sole powertrain offered in the 2025 Lincoln Aviator is the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6, delivering 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, the plug-in hybrid Grant Touring was dropped. Lincoln's Air Glide Suspension is available for an even smoother and more comfortable experience. Based on the same rear-wheel drive architecture as the 2025 Ford Explorer, the Aviator is also available with Intelligent Four-Wheel drive.

    Pricing starts at $58,495, a $5,155 increase over last year's model.

    I think they did a really nice job on this.  Look at the etching in the wood.  Apparently, each trim level gets a different pattern so you can be extra snobby about it.  One nice dial for volume control, and the rest can be controlled by voice.  And I know that most designs try to blend away the HVAC vents, but look at those! They look purposeful and somewhat deco/retro. Triple thumbs up on something simple that adds loads of character to the design.

    Shame the PHEV is gone. It was positively the best driving comfort vehicle this side of a '77 Mark V. Absolutely effortless power and it erased road imperfections, though that may have mostly been the Air Glide suspension that this still has available.

    • The LS feels too small inside. The G90 would probably make excellent an excellent Black-Car service car without having to pay the Mercedes S-Class maintenance tax. A G90 runs $40k cheaper than a comparatively equipped S-Class. While I do think the S-Class has a nicer interior, I think the G90 is better looking outside.
    • Oh I LOVE to engage in politics and talk politics.  It is difficult for me to follow my own rule here. But there are other places on the internet for that and I would rather we keep this a friendly place. Politics can, especially of late, ruin relationships and friendships. I've left car clubs over politics and the general bad behavior associated with older white straight men of a particular political party. For a time, I considered shutting down C&G because every thread devolved into an "I love EVs"/"You're a dumb liberal if you do" fight and it really killed my love for this hobby. It has been difficult for me to return to it.
    • The top 1% aren't buying a Genesis.  They are trying to sell to baby boomers who used to have a Buick, Cadillac, Infiniti or Lincoln and they don't have luxury sedans anymore, or maybe people that think a Lexus LS is too sporty.  
    • Mercedes also only started off in a limited production for the S Class and all models above and still in many ways does sell a limited amount of their uber luxury models. Why is it wrong for Genesis to roll out a model that is truly aimed at the 1% and will eventually offer it globally for those that want the best executive luxury sedan? Many auto companies that have been in that top tier market make a profit off of selling a few thousand a year only. If you took a close look, you would find that not everything is glassy black leaving finger prints. In fact while like @Robert Hall stated and you, the all black thing has been done by just about everyone. Yet here, as I pointed out, they took the time to take this to a level of refinement that no one, not even Mercedes has done in making sure every piece, including the engine bay is the same true color of black with matte black in key areas that would be touched allot. I can see this being loved by those that like everything all black to the nth degree. I also have to agree with Robert, it is very nice to see a company still making sedans, especially long wheelbase for those that are big.
    • One can hope At this point it is a done deal, I want to retire elsewhere and never see this country ever again. Politics is a waste of time because Trump and current policies are what and who a large percentage of America really is.  So I vote keep the politics out. I love Maya, and agree I plan on keeping my paid off truck. Maybe I can make it to retirement, and retire somewhere that I don't need a car.  That is sort of my hope at the moment.
