2022 Lincoln Aviator vs. 2022 Ford Explorer

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator and the 2022 Ford Explorer are good vehicles, but which one makes the better choice? The answer isn’t as simple as you may think; there are many factors to consider when making this decision. For example, do you want more cargo space or more passenger room? Do you prioritize towing capacity or fuel efficiency? Is technology important to you? This detailed look at what makes the 2022 Lincoln Aviator stand out as the best choice will help you make an informed decision on your next vehicle purchase.

Design & Style

  • Exterior Design

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator uses aluminum panels and chrome embellishments to give it a distinct look, appealing to many consumers. On top of that, it has a black grille and body-color wheels for contrast, making for a sleek exterior appearance overall. 2022 Ford Explorer has a more generic look with silver rims. Overall though, both vehicles are similar in how they look from head-on and side-by-side except for small details like rims and trim lines that make one stand out more than another.

  • Interior Design

Even though the 2022 Ford Explorer has better exterior styling, when it comes to interior design, you should choose the 2022 Lincoln Aviator due to its more spacious seating and improved storage options. If you want to drive with passengers in comfort, you must go for the 2022 Lincoln Aviator because it offers a far more spacious cabin than its opponent. For example, if an adult passenger sits at the back seat of a 4-door sedan, they will not be able to stretch their legs properly without being cramped. With Lincoln Aviator, all your family members can sit comfortably since they are not constrained while driving long distances.

Technology & Safety

Both vehicles offer a range of modern driver assistance features, but here’s where they differ: The 2022 Lincoln Aviator has forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning as standard equipment; in contrast, you have to pay more for all of these driver-assistance features on 2022 Ford Explorer. And while neither car is perfect on headlights or backup cameras—not enough cars are yet—the 2022 Lincoln Aviator shines with a 360-degree camera that can detect nearby objects and pedestrians around corners; by comparison, you only get a backup camera standard on entry-level models of 2022 Ford Explorer.

Performance

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator and 2022 Ford Explorer both come with V6 engines, but their specs differ in other areas. The base engine on the Aviator is rated at 3L and 400 @ 5,500 rpm Horsepower while the 2022 Ford Explorer comes in at 2L and 250 horsepower for an explorer. While they may appear to be similar from just numbers, these engines are very different. The 2022 Lincoln Aviator is 25% more fuel-efficient than its competitors. This makes it easy to see why so many people choose to drive an Aviators for their everyday commuting needs.

The Bottom Line

Both vehicles are strong contenders, but we find it hard to overlook the impressive performance and excellent fuel economy offered by the 2022 Lincoln Aviator, as well as its high-quality interior and thoughtful safety features.
