Comparing the 2023 Lincoln Aviator Specs & Performance
Mechanical excellence hides behind the aesthetic beauty of the 2023 Lincoln Aviator. Motivating the Lincoln SUV is a twin-turbo V6 doling out 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque -- figures that eclipse those of all the competitors we've rounded up. The next most powerful SUV in this group, the BMW X7, is running a 25-horsepower deficit relative to the Aviator; the underpowered Volvo XC90 is at the back of this pack with over 150 less horsepower than the Lincoln.
Shifting topics to transmissions, the 10-speed automatic found in the Aviator offers an additional two gears relative to the XC90 and X7. The Mercedes-Benz GLS is down a cog as well, giving the Lincoln yet another win in the specs department. See why so many locals want to buy a new Aviator nearby?
