2023 LINCOLN AVIATOR GRAND TOURING

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring plug-in hybrid is presented as a powerful, luxury SUV, leveraging its electric system primarily for enhanced torque rather than fuel efficiency. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's striking exterior design with ample chrome accents and LED lighting. Inside, the cabin boasts luxurious Sandstone leather, 30-way power massaging seats, and a premium Revel sound system, though the reviewer notes a somewhat monochromatic interior-exterior color scheme. The 10.1-inch infotainment system offers extensive customization, but relies on wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A significant point of contention is the limited 21-mile all-electric range, which the reviewer feels is insufficient for a plug-in hybrid, suggesting the electric power is mainly utilized for a substantial torque boost, resulting in rapid acceleration. Despite the impressive power and handling improvements over standard models, the $85,510 MSRP is deemed very high, especially when compared to other trims and competitors, raising questions about its overall value proposition.
