The Reserve trim elevates the Aviator experience with genuine premium leather seating in the first two rows, the panoramic Vista Roof as standard equipment, 21-inch premium wheels, Adaptive Pixel LED headlamps, and the Dynamic Handling Package featuring Air Glide suspension. The Reserve also includes the 14-speaker Revel audio system, four-zone climate control, head-up display, and ventilated second-row seats—all standard. While the Premiere offers exceptional value with comprehensive features, the Reserve delivers noticeably more luxurious materials and enhanced driving dynamics.
Does the 2026 Aviator come with all-wheel drive?
The 2026 Lincoln Aviator offers rear-wheel drive as standard on both Premiere and Reserve trims, with intelligent all-wheel drive available as an option. The Black Label trim includes all-wheel drive as standard equipment. The available all-wheel drive system provides enhanced traction and confidence in various driving conditions while maintaining the Aviator’s refined ride quality.
Which optional packages provide the best value on the Lincoln Aviator?
The Premiere III Package ($6,030) represents excellent value, transforming the base Premiere with the panoramic Vista Roof, ventilated front seats, power-adjustable steering wheel, Auto Air Refresh system, 14-speaker Revel audio, head-up display, and heated second-row seats. For Reserve buyers, the Reserve II Package delivers significant luxury enhancements including the 30-way Perfect Position massaging seats and the exceptional 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D Audio System. Both packages include features that would cost substantially more if purchased separately.
How does Lincoln BlueCruise hands-free driving work on the Aviator?
BlueCruise 1.5 is included for four years on all 2026 Aviator models, allowing hands-free driving on over 130,000 miles of prequalified divided highways throughout North America. The system uses cameras and sensors to monitor road conditions and driver attention while maintaining lane position and adjusting speed for traffic. New for 2026, BlueCruise 1.5 includes Automatic Lane Change capability, allowing the system to change lanes automatically when passing slower vehicles—all without requiring the driver to touch the turn signal. Drivers must keep their eyes on the road, and the system provides alerts when approaching areas outside hands-free zones or when driver attention diminishes.
What is the cargo capacity of the 2026 Lincoln Aviator?
The Lincoln Aviator offers impressive cargo versatility for a three-row luxury SUV. Behind the third row, you’ll find 16.5 cubic feet of cargo space—ideal for luggage or groceries. Fold the PowerFold third-row seats flat with the press of a button to access 39.9 cubic feet behind the second row. For maximum cargo capacity, fold both the second and third rows to reveal 75.9 cubic feet of space, providing ample room for larger items like furniture or sports equipment.
