At Covert Lincoln in Austin, we often meet drivers who are torn between two standout luxury SUVs: the Lincoln Aviator and the Lincoln Navigator. Both offer premium features, advanced technology, and refined design, but they serve different needs. Here’s a closer look to help you decide.
Size and Seating
The Aviator offers three rows with seating for up to seven, while the Navigator provides a larger cabin with space for up to eight passengers. If your Austin lifestyle includes frequent family trips or carpools, the Navigator’s extra room may be the better fit.

Both SUVs come equipped with Lincoln Co-Pilot360™, premium audio systems, and customizable ambient lighting. The Navigator offers additional high-end amenities like extended cargo space and more available rear-seat entertainment options.
