Refined Power: The Aviator’s Twin-Turbo V6 & Advanced Drivetrain

In the heart of the 2025 Lincoln Aviator specs lies a potent and refined twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine, engineered to deliver a harmonious blend of power, efficiency, and smoothness. This engine incorporates Auto Start-Stop Technology, helping to reduce fuel consumption during idle periods without compromising performance. Whether you’re accelerating onto the highway or navigating city traffic, the Aviator’s powerplant responds with authority and precision.

Paired with this engine is a 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission. This advanced gearbox features paddle activation, giving drivers greater control over gear changes and allowing for a sportier, more engaging driving experience when desired. The transmission is tuned for both smooth daily driving and dynamic performance, ensuring that shifts are seamless across a variety of speeds and driving conditions.

When it comes to drivetrain options, the Aviator offers versatility with standard rear-wheel drive (RWD) and available all-wheel drive (AWD). RWD provides balanced handling and a sportier feel, while AWD enhances traction and stability, especially in inclement weather or on uneven terrain. This makes the Aviator well-suited for a wide range of environments—from urban streets to country roads.

Under the hood, performance numbers further reflect the Aviator’s capabilities: 400 horsepower at 5,500 RPM and 415 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 RPM. These figures make for a confident, powerful drive that easily handles highway merging, towing, and spirited driving alike. Maintenance is made simple with a 6.0-quart oil capacity, using SAE 5W-30 synthetic motor oil, and Lincoln recommends an oil change every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. This interval strikes a balance between convenience and long-term engine protection.

Miles of Possibility: Fuel Efficiency Meets Luxury Performance

Efficiency meets sophistication in the 2025 Lincoln Aviator’s fuel system, providing a thoughtful balance between luxury performance and practical range. For those opting for the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) model, the EPA-estimated fuel economy is rated at 18 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Drivers who prefer enhanced traction via all-wheel drive (AWD) can expect slightly different numbers—17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway—a small trade-off for added capability.

The Aviator is equipped with a 20.2-gallon fuel tank, which, combined with its efficient powertrain, delivers a projected range of 400+ miles on a full tank. This impressive range makes the Aviator an ideal choice for long road trips, family vacations, or simply fewer stops at the gas station during the week. It’s a great example of how Lincoln integrates performance and practicality into its luxury offerings.

While the Aviator can run on regular unleaded gasoline, Lincoln recommends premium unleaded fuel with a 91-octane rating for optimal performance. Using premium fuel allows the engine to operate at its peak, enhancing both power delivery and efficiency, especially under heavy loads or spirited driving conditions. It’s a small investment that helps preserve the long-term health and refinement of the vehicle.
