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.

Performance

The Aviator comes standard with a powerful twin-turbo V6, while the Navigator features a robust V6 tuned for higher towing capacity. The Aviator feels more agile in city driving, while the Navigator dominates in highway cruising and heavy hauling.

Technology and Features

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.

Price Point

The Aviator provides a more accessible entry point into Lincoln’s three-row luxury SUV lineup, while the Navigator represents the flagship option for those seeking the ultimate in space and prestige.
