About the 2026 Lincoln Aviator

The 2026 Lincoln Aviator is shaping up to be a sophisticated yet practical choice for those needing genuine three-row comfort without sacrificing driving enjoyment. With standard rear-wheel drive pushing 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, this crossover feels lively even when fully loaded with your crew. Seating six comfortably means juggling carpool duty is manageable, and the 10-speed automatic transmission ensures smooth sailing on highway runs. At nearly 200 inches long, it offers a substantial presence, yet the generous 43 inches of front legroom and 40.2 inches in the second row mean adults won't feel cramped on long trips. For trips requiring gear, you still get 19.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind that third row.
