The 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring features the power of a standard twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology paired to a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission with paddle activation. It utilizes plug-in hybrid technologies for an intense, fuel-efficient performance. Preserve EV and Pure EV drive modes further optimize the efficient power.
‘The Lincoln Aviator is a gold standard when it comes to plug-in hybrids,” said Brian Moody, executive editor for Autotrader. “With an EPA-estimated all-electric range of 21 miles,” it performs well and accomplishes most daily tasks without ever needing the gasoline engine.”
The 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring also boasts a premium interior with amenities including quad-zone climate controls, ambient lighting, heated first-row seats, premium leather seating surfaces, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with cruise, redundant audio, climate, and media controls. The Panoramic Vista Roof with Power Sunshade optimizes the spacious feel of the cabin. Available features include a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated second-row outboard seats, wireless charging pad, and Head-Up Display.
