It Got a New Face and a Big Price Increase , New Lincoln Aviator SUV 2025
- 3 months ago
The luxury SUV features special packages that include, among other things, a new dashboard, larger displays and laser-engraved interior trim.
The biggest update appears right up front. The Aviator's face gets a larger grille with headlights connected to the upper corners. Below that is a redesigned fascia with vertically oriented corner vents. The new Explorer has a similar motif, but Ford doesn't have an illuminated grille badge. On the sides and rear, you'll find the same Aviator parts as the previous model. Since all of the external changes occur in the nose, this is truly a facelift.
There's a similar theme inside; There are now larger digital screens for the driver and front seat passenger. The center screen is up to 13.2 inches and the display unit is 12.4 inches. If this sounds familiar, the new Explorer also has a 13.2-inch screen, but Ford's digital driver display is slightly smaller at 12.3 inches. While the rest of the interior is the same as before, Lincoln has spruced it up with a variety of color combinations, using ingenious names like Light Space Gray, Harvest Bronze, and Hot Chocolate.
While visual changes are minimal, the big story of the 2025 Aviator is technology. The first-ever Lincoln Digital Experience. This brings Google and Amazon functionality integrated into the Aviator's infotainment system, allowing native use of apps like Spotify, Google Maps, YouTube, and built-in web browsers for browsing the web (though Lincoln does advise that some of these features will only be available when parked also) . Google Assistant or Alexa is by your side and ready to help you manage everything with voice commands. Everything can be customized according to the driver's wishes. Fortunately, you can still launch Android Auto or Apple CarPlay if that's your preference.
BlueCruise is also new on Aviator for 2025. The hands-free driving system available on the Explorer is standard on all Aviator trim levels. Lincoln Co-Pilot 360 is also standard and brings a wide range of driver assists to the SUV. This includes features such as lane keeping assist and a 360-degree camera, as well as more advanced systems such as evasive maneuver assist and reverse braking assist.
“With the new Aviator, technology takes on an even larger role in creating the relaxing, luxurious space our customers appreciate and expect from Lincoln,” Director Heidi Shaffer said in a statement. “With advanced, connected features like the Lincoln Digital Experience and BlueCruise hands-free driving technology, we are creating a new, digital haven on the road.”
The 2025 Aviator goes on sale later this year, and it won't be cheap. The entry-level Aviator Premiere starts at $58,495, with an annual increase of $5,155. The mid-range Reserve starts at $67,495, while the top-tier Black Label starts at $86,995. Fully optioned and adding the mandatory $1,395 destination charge, the Aviator approaches $100,000.
