Lincoln Aviator
Reviving a familiar name, the Aviator is Lincoln’s all-new, three-row midsize SUV.

The Grand Touring model is a plug-in hybrid SUV that’s even more powerful (450 horsepower, 650 pound-feet) and offers the benefit of purely electric driving for about 48 kilometres. A sophisticated air suspension is optional.
