EXPERIENCE

Lincoln Aviator

Every journey tells a story, whether it’s a weekend escape or the daily drive that defines your routine. Your luxury SUV should deliver the power, poise, and confidence to make each mile effortless. True excellence lies in refined engineering, and between these two distinguished models, only one transforms capability into pure driving pleasure.

Power That Commands Every Road

The heart of every vehicle lies beneath the hood. It’s the force that propels you up winding hills, across uneven paths, and through life’s daily travels with confidence. A more powerful engine doesn’t just move you; it empowers you to lead every drive with authority.

That strength is unmistakable in the Lincoln Aviator, whose Twin-Turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine delivers a commanding presence on any road. This standard powertrain easily surpasses the Audi Q7's base 2.0L 4-cylinder, offering greater power and more seamless responsiveness at every turn.

Torque415 lb-ft273 lb-ft

Even when equipped with its available V6 engine, the Audi Q7 falls short at just 335 horsepower. With this unmatched performance, the Lincoln Aviator delivers an exhilarating yet composed driving experience. It’s a balance of strength and precision that ensures you’re always ready for what lies ahead.

Precision in Motion

Power means little without the control to harness it. The Lincoln Aviator and the Audi Q7 offer advancedall-wheel drive systems designed to distribute power intelligently, enhancing traction and stability across changing terrain. Whether navigating rain-slick streets or uneven back roads, these standard or available systems work seamlessly to keep you confidently connected to every surface.

Where the Lincoln Aviator distinguishes itself is in how it channels that power. Its standard 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission, with paddle activation for manual engagement, ensures seamless gear transitions and optimal use of engine output. More available gears mean more precise performance, allowing the Lincoln Aviator to adapt effortlessly to your driving style and the road ahead. By comparison, the Q7’s 8-speed transmission offers capable performance but lacks the same degree of nuanced control.
