In the latest review by TheStraightPipes, the 2025 Lincoln Aviator Reserve takes center stage without the fancy launch control. With a roaring twin-turbo 3 L V6 engine churning out 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, this SUV means business. Drawing parallels to the Ford Explorer ST, the team highlights similarities in powertrain and mechanical components, including the shared 10-speed auto. The Aviator's optional air suspension adds a touch of luxury, promising a smooth ride even over challenging terrains.
As the team tackles cliche corner in this three-row luxury SUV, they can't help but marvel at its performance. While the Aviator may share some design elements with the Explorer ST, it stands out with its unique color choices and refreshed front end. However, the back end leaves a bit to be desired, with mixed reviews on the overall appearance. The wheels and lighting receive a nod of approval, though opinions vary on their aesthetic impact.
Inside the Aviator, the team explores a range of features, from massage seats to the Google-integrated infotainment system. They engage in a light-hearted debate about the practicality of certain interior options, such as the optional center console in the second row. Despite some quirks in the placement of climate control buttons and the challenges of using Sirius XM, the SUV impresses with its spacious interior, comfortable seating, and ample storage. The driving experience, aided by various modes and a clear head-up display, adds to the overall appeal of the Lincoln Aviator Reserve.
