2023 AVIATOR® Design Features

AVAILABLE ADAPTIVE PIXEL LED HEADLAMPS

Placing light where it's needed. The Adaptive Pixel LED Headlamps apply a number of technologies to appropriately place light both on and off the road. At highway speeds, available speed-dependent lighting is designed to shine light farther into the distance; at slower speeds, the light array widens, helping drivers to detect pedestrians and potential hazards. Light-bending functionality uses camera technology to read road signs and lane markings to pre-illuminate the direction the road is heading.

WHISPER-QUIET INTERIOR

Experience the sound of sanctuary. The Lincoln Aviator® SUV features available active noise control that captures, analyzes and cancels sound within the cabin. An acoustic-laminate windshield and front-door glass as well as expandable baffles further enhance interior quietness. To reduce sound from the powertrain, the engine compartment is sealed with a dual wall, and the exhaust system is dual-valved. These attributes and more were all artfully crafted for your peace of mind.

LINCOLN EMBRACE

You're near, and your Aviator SUV can tell. When it senses your approach, Lincoln Embrace* activates as if to say "Welcome back" and "Where to next?"

*Lincoln Embrace features and functions vary by model.

APPROACH DETECTION

When your key fob or your personal smartphone, with available Phone As A Key,* is within a detectable range, the Lincoln Aviator® responds to your approach. A dazzling array of welcome lighting in the front, rear and interior warmly greets you. Plus, models with the available Air Glide Suspension will lower themselves to help make getting in and loading cargo easier.

*Requires feature activation via the Lincoln Way™ App. Lincoln Way, compatible with select smartphone platforms, is available via a download. Message and data rates may apply.

WELCOME MAT

As part of the approach sequence, the door handle pockets softly glow while a Lincoln logo welcome mat is projected from the sideview mirror, illuminating the ground below the door. These lights help to guide the way while helping you see any debris, unevenness or water, making for more sure-footed entrances.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

It's a warm and welcoming experience that helps guide the way. Tied to the approach detection, the front signature lamps' and taillamps' fade sequence* gradually reaches full illumination.

LINCOLN DRIVE MODES

There's a drive mode to match your mood and road conditions. Lincoln Drive Modes, easily selected by turning a knob in the center console, alter the suspension settings, steering, shift points and even ride heights. The Aviator Grand Touring* has two additional modes: Pure EV for a quiet all-electric drive and Preserve EV to recharge and save battery power for a later time.

*Available at Lincoln EV-certified dealers only.

AVAILABLE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

The rear-wheel-drive platform in the Lincoln Aviator was designed to also accommodate all-wheel drive.* Because of this, when choosing the Aviator that's right for you, you can decide between the thrilling feel of rear-wheel drive* or the confident grip of available all-wheel drive.

AIR GLIDE SUSPENSION

The Lincoln Aviator® SUV has an Air Glide Suspension, included in the available Dynamic Handling Package, which replaces traditional hard coil springs with air bladders. These automatically inflate and deflate to help soften your ride, creating the sensation of riding on air, quite literally. This system allows the vehicle to kneel to greet you as you approach, making getting in and loading cargo more effortless. Plus the suspension will rise and lower based on specific drive modes.

2023 AVIATOR® Technology Features

Cleaner Air
