Reviewers from cnet have found:
The 2020 Lincoln Aviator starts at $69,895 for the Grand Touring plug-in hybrid. The battery adds an extra 781 pounds of mass to the Aviator's curb weight. The hybrid system's electric boost also works to smooth out the V6's torque curve.
Pros
  • Powerful V6 engine
  • Comfortable ride
Cons
  • Expensive for a plug-in hybrid

Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:
Without the electric motor, the twin-turbo V6 felt plenty quick. It's too bad the chassis can't quite harness all that power. The Aviator never stops feeling like a big, heavy, vehicle in the corners. Lincoln did not design the Aviator to be a Porsche Cayenne competitor.
Pros
  • Powerful V6
  • Comfortable ride
  • Compact interior
Cons
  • Lack of infotainment tech
  • No DC fast charging
