FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Lincoln Aviator that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
Lincoln has done its best to shine up the Ford Explorer for Aviator duty, and we certainly like the result under the hood. The only way to get the desirable turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 in the Explorer is to opt for the performance-themed ST trim, whereas the Aviator comes standard with that 3.0T engine.
All-wheel drive adds commendably little weight to the Aviator and only brings fuel economy down a smidge.
