the 2025 lincoln aviator picks up a new face and more tech

Lincoln Aviator sales slipped in 2023, but the automaker is looking ahead to 2025 with a refreshed SUV that it hopes will boost interest in the three-row premium model. The 2025 Aviator picks up new available features, including BlueCruise and updated styling elements that give it a more modern look.

Lincoln equips a twin-turbo V6 but dropped the hybrid model for 2025. The engine pairs with rear- or all-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Output lands at 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Adaptive air suspension is available, and the SUV has extensive sound deadening for a supremely quiet ride.

The Aviator’s exterior got an update with new LED headlights and a redesigned grille. Lincoln equips an LED light bar, and lighting upgrades are available, including adaptive “bending light,” pixel LED headlights, speed-dependent lighting, and more. New wheel designs include 21- and 22-inch sizes and black or aluminum finishes.

A new Black Label Invitation theme is available, bringing open-pore woods and other high-end upgrades to the cabin. It features black leather upholstery and laser-etched styling elements with contrast stitching and other touches. The Flight theme is still available from the year before, bringing tan and black upholstery and dark, engine-turned accents. More standard features come for 2025, including a panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charging, and a heated steering wheel.

A 13.2-inch touchscreen comes standard, and buyers can add a 5.8-inch rear display with audio and climate controls. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, along with a 10-speaker stereo, connected app features, and navigation. Lincoln also offers BlueCruise in the Aviator for the first time, bringing hands-free driving on highways across North America.

Lincoln hasn’t released pricing details yet, but it said the SUV will be built at its Chicago Assembly Plant. The order books are open now, and the Aviator will go on sale in the summer.

That interior looks like old people's living room furniture from the 80s.

Lincoln sold only 81,000 vehicles in 2023. What is the point?

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

Big Al from Oz gidday mites how are yall feelin today? Want to have a barbie? We are right here gettin dee fire ready
Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
