If you’re looking for a family-friendly luxury SUV, the 2025 Lincoln Aviator or the 2025 Lincoln Navigator can be your match. To decide which model suits your needs, here’s a comparison from your Lincoln dealership.
Comparing the 2025 Lincoln Aviator vs. the 2025 Lincoln Navigator at Your Lincoln Dealership
Performance
Choosing a family hauler starts with picking the right powertrain. Perfect for daily driving and weekend adventures, the 2025 Aviator pairs a twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission and standard rear-wheel drive. This system provides 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, as well as EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 21 MPG combined. All-wheel drive is optional.
Ideal for the open road, the 2025 Navigator comes with a twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine mated to a 10-speed SelectShift transmission and standard 4×4 drive. This powertrain delivers 440 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, which basically means more spirited acceleration and enhanced traction on challenging surfaces. Both models boast standard paddle shifters, allowing you to shift gears manually for added driving fun or improved performance.
Interior and Cargo
While both the Aviator and the Navigator provide three-row seating, different layouts make it easy to choose the right SUV. The Aviator accommodates up to seven riders, boasting standard captain’s chairs in the second row and seats for three in the third row. If you prefer a second-row bench, this option is available in the Reserve trim, and a six-seat layout is also available.
Regardless of the interior layout, this SUV provides 18.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the third-row seats. The Navigator comes standard with the same interior configuration as the Aviator, but it can accommodate up to eight riders, a feature that makes it a better choice for big families. You also get more cargo space, with 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row in the standard Navigator or 37.4 cubic feet in the Navigator L.
Technology
The 2025 Aviator and the 2025 Navigator both come with the Lincoln Digital Experience infotainment system, providing easy access to entertainment and connectivity. However, the Aviator uses a 13.2-inch center touchscreen paired with a 12.4-inch instrument cluster display whereas the Navigator comes with an expansive 48-inch panoramic display that blends a digital cluster with selectable themes with an infotainment display.
A separate 11.1-inch center touchscreen provides access to the infotainment and vehicle functions, while second-row passengers can use a standard 5.8-inch touchscreen with multimedia controls fitted at the rear of the center console. This feature is optional in the Aviator.
