2021 LINCOLN AVIATOR GRAND TOURING PHEV REVIEW - FANTASTIC LUXURY WITH 3 ROWS

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring PHEV is presented as a luxurious three-row SUV that enhances the already impressive Aviator with a plug-in hybrid system delivering a substantial 494 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque. The reviewer highlights the opulent interior, featuring a Revel Ultima sound system, 30-way adjustable massaging seats, and high-quality materials, though notes the absence of leather on the dashboard. The ride comfort is exceptional, thanks to the adaptive air suspension with road preview technology, effectively smoothing out rough surfaces. Performance in 'Excite' mode is described as thrilling, with the hybrid system providing immediate electric torque followed by the powerful twin-turbo V6. The reviewer also praises the vehicle's striking exterior design and advanced features like the adaptive Pixel LED headlights and the impressive self-parking system. While the pure EV range is modest (around 25-33 km), the primary appeal is the blend of luxury and potent performance rather than fuel economy. The reviewer concludes that Lincoln has successfully created a flagship model with the Grand Touring, offering a compelling package for those seeking a high-end, powerful, and comfortable luxury SUV.
