What to Expect for the 2026 Lincoln Aviator
At Riser Lincoln, our Order Bank gives you early access to the 2026 Lincoln Aviator before it reaches the lot. By reserving your Aviator, you can choose the exact trim, color, and features you want, ensuring your SUV is built to your specifications. Our team keeps you informed throughout the process-from factory allocation to delivery-so you can secure your Lincoln confidently and without waiting in uncertainty.
When Will the 2026 Lincoln Aviator Be Released?
Lincoln's teasers should land ahead of a formal reveal before year-end. Ordering is expected to open shortly after, with first deliveries beginning in early 2026. We anticipate our initial allocation to arrive at Riser Lincoln soon after the launch window. If you're set on a specific trim or color, a reservation will give you the best shot.
What Are the Trim Levels of the 2026 Lincoln Aviator?
The lineup continues with Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label. Premiere remains well equipped, with comfort features, driver assists, and the Lincoln Digital Experience. New for 2026, the Premiere 100A Entry Series lowers the entry price by removing a few features such as the panoramic roof and wireless charger. Reserve adds richer materials, upgraded tech, and Revel audio. Black Label crowns the range with exclusive interior themes, soft-close doors, and a standard 28-speaker Revel system.
Any Performance Upgrades for the 2026 Lincoln Aviator?
The Aviator continues with the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 rated around 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with a 10-speed automatic for smooth, confident acceleration. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available for added traction. The Grand Touring plug-in hybrid is expected to return with more refined regenerative braking and improved energy management, supporting better day-to-day efficiency.
Styling & Design Refresh
Expect a clean mid-cycle refresh rather than a full redesign. Look for a sleeker grille, crisper LED lighting signatures, and fresh wheel designs that align with Lincoln's latest styling direction. Inside, materials get a step up, and screens gain polish for a more modern, cohesive cabin without losing the quiet, calming feel drivers love.
Technology & Infotainment Enhancements
The Lincoln Digital Experience remains the centerpiece with a 13.2-inch touchscreen, a 12.4-inch digital cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Google Assistant support. Streaming and web browsing remain available while parked. BlueCruise 1.5 is expected across the lineup, adding automatic lane changes and passing. An automatic liftgate that opens as you approach is now standard. A four-year Wi-Fi hotspot subscription is included with the Connectivity package.
Will the 2026 Aviator Have a Hybrid Model?
We don't expect a hybrid Aviator for 2026. The lineup centers on the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, so any mpg gains come from tuning and drive modes, not electrification. If you want a Lincoln with hybrid power, look at the Corsair Grand Touring plug-in hybrid or the Nautilus hybrid. Both offer strong efficiency and a calm, quiet drive.
How Much Will the 2026 Lincoln Aviator Cost?
Official pricing isn't final. Current estimates place the 2026 Aviator around $60,000 for Premiere and near $90,000 for Black Label, depending on options. AFS programs and A-plan pricing may apply for eligible buyers. We recommend calling our team at 501-501-2343 for updated numbers, pre-order windows, and any early reservation offers.
