Why the 2021 Lincoln Aviator Stands Out among Mid-size Luxury SUVs
When picking a mid-size luxury SUV, there are plenty of options to choose from. It can be challenging to sort through the various makes and models to figure out which one best suits your lifestyle. At Rowe Lincoln Westbrook, we think you will love the 2021 Lincoln Aviator. There are several reasons why the 2021 Aviator stands out among mid-size luxury SUVs. Here is how it stacks up against some other notable SUVs on the market.
Better Performance than the 2021 Volvo XC90
When it comes to performance, the Volvo XC90 just can't compete with the Aviator on any front. The Aviator's 3.0-liter V-6 engine generates up to 400 horsepower. In comparison, the XC90 has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 250 horsepower. The 2021 Aviator also has a 10-speed automatic transmission, which makes for a smooth driving experience with easy gear changes. The 2021 XC90 has an eight-speed automatic transmission, which can't quite compare with the 2021 Aviator in performance.
The 2021 Aviator isn't just more powerful than the 2021 XC90; it's significantly roomier too. The 2021 Aviator has 145 cubic feet of space for its seven passengers. The 2021 XC90 also seats seven, but it has a passenger volume of just 104 cubic feet. If you need to carry cargo, you'll have more room on the 2021 Aviator; its 77.7 cubic feet of luggage volume easily surpasses the 65.5 cubic feet available in the 2021 XC90.
More Seats, Highway Fuel Economy than the 2021 Genesis GV80
If you want to take the whole family on vacation, two things stand out in significance: seating and highway fuel economy. After all, you will want everyone to be comfortable, and you don't want to have to pull over for gas too frequently. The 2021 Lincoln Aviator seats seven, whereas the 2021 Genesis GV80 only seats five. Despite being a larger vehicle with more seats, the 2021 Aviator actually gets better gas mileage on the highway than the 2021 GV80. The 2021 Aviator has a highway fuel economy of 26 miles-per-gallon, while the 2021 GV80 gets 25 miles-per-gallon on the highway.
If you want to take a trailer or boat with you on your vacation, you will be able to take a larger one if you drive a 2021 Aviator. The 2021 Aviator has a maximum trailer weight of 6,700 pounds, about the weight of a large travel trailer. The 2021 GV80 can pull a trailer up to 3,500 pounds, only slightly more than half the capacity you get with the 2021 Aviator.
More Powerful than the 2021 Kia Telluride
The 2021 Lincoln Aviator's aforementioned 3.0-liter V-6 engine is tremendously powerful. In addition to generating 400 horsepower, it also produces 415 pound-feet of torque. The 3.8-liter V-6 engine in the 2021 Kia Telluride can't compete. It produces 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque; impressive, but not in the same league as the 2021 Aviator.
The superior performance of the 2021 Aviator isn't confined to the raw power of its engine. It can also tow a trailer weighing up to 6,700 pounds, while the 2021 Telluride can tow up to 5,000 pounds. Whether you're towing a recreational trailer or using your vehicle for work, you will pull quite a bit more weight with the 2021 Aviator than with the 2021 Telluride.
