2024 Lincoln Aviator: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Lincoln Aviator is a simplified, gas-only lineup built around one 400-hp twin-turbo V6. The Grand Touring variants are gone, Premiere becomes the entry retail trim, and the rest of the SUV sees no major redesign.
About the 2024 Lincoln Aviator
2nd generation Aviator (2020-2024), final year before the 2025 refresh.
Lincoln positions the Aviator as a three-row luxury SUV that blends strong V6 power with a calm, quiet cabin. Lincoln’s messaging centers on the idea of a relaxing sanctuary on the road: elegant styling, generous passenger space, and comfort-focused technology instead of a sport-first personality. Against many rivals, the Aviator stands out for its standard six-cylinder power, distinctive Lincoln design, and a more serene luxury feel for family, executive, or long-distance use.
The 2024 Aviator remains a quiet, powerful three-row luxury SUV, with Premiere serving as the straightforward core trim and Reserve adding leather seating, a panoramic roof, and a 360-degree camera. Black Label focuses on richer cabin materials, 30-way massaging front seats, and a 28-speaker Revel audio system, while Livery is tailored to professional passenger service.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2024 Lincoln Aviator?
The biggest change is the move to a single gas powertrain across the lineup. Every retail trim uses a 400-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic.
Does the 2024 Lincoln Aviator still have a Grand Touring version?
No. Grand Touring and Black Label Grand Touring were dropped for 2024, leaving a gas-only Aviator range.
Is Premiere new for the 2024 Lincoln Aviator?
Yes. Premiere joins the 2024 lineup as the entry retail trim, while the prior Base trim is dropped.
Was the 2024 Lincoln Aviator redesigned?
No. The 2024 Aviator carries over without a major exterior or cabin redesign. The refreshed front end, new screens, and broader standard technology arrive for 2025.
Is the 2024 Lincoln Aviator worth considering over the 2023 model?
The 2024 model makes the most sense for shoppers who want the simplified gas-only lineup or the Premiere trim. Otherwise, it is a light-change year rather than a redesign, so the condition, mileage, and equipment of each vehicle matter more than the model-year difference.
