2022 Lincoln Aviator vs. 2022 BMW X5

The Lincoln Aviator continues to be one of the top-selling SUVs in America, and the 2022 model will only make it even more popular when it comes out next year. But how does it compare to its German competition? Let's look at two popular models, the 2022 BMW X5 and the 2022 Lincoln Aviator, to see which one makes the most sense for your needs and budget.

Design & Style

  • Exterior Design

Though there are not many drastic changes to be seen in both of these vehicles, there are some upgrades that you will instantly notice and also appreciate. For instance, it is easier to see why people might find the Lincoln Aviator more appealing with its new sleeker look, while others will love its sculpted hood and tall grille appearance. The body of the 2022 BMW X5 seems to have more curves than ever before, making it stand out amongst other cars. Its front end allows for increased instability and upgraded safety features for drivers who need added protection on roads when driving at high speeds or taking corners too quickly.

  • Interior Design

It is a no-brainer that the 2022 Lincoln Aviator is much more appealing to most drivers. The all-leather seating and state-of-the-art dashboard make it an extremely comfortable ride, and the driver assistance tech will have you feeling completely safe while driving on busy highways. The only downside is that tall drivers may feel cramped in their seats due to much smaller cabin space, but a great all-around pick for quality drivers! The BMW comes out more refined vehicle when comparing their interiors side by side. While you can buy options on your 2022 Lincoln Aviator, such as heated seats, headrest massage functions, and 3D parking camera systems, these are options that are just standard on your 2022 BMW X5!

Technology & Safety

Both luxury SUVs have received high-safety ratings, with standard features like advanced airbags and automatic braking systems to make sure you get home safely, no matter what happens on your drive. And though they're both new to their respective automakers' lineups, each has a proven track record, too; add in forward-thinking technology and other unique perks that set them apart.

Performance

2022 Lincoln Aviator 3.0L V-6 engine produces 400 hp at 6500 rpm, 415 ft-lbs of torque at 2,750 with a 22/25 mpg city/highway and 24 mpg combined fuel economy rating. 2022 BMW X5 3L twin-turbocharged I6 engine produces 425 hp at 5500 rpm, 406 ft-lbs of torque from 400 to 4250 rpm with a 19/24 mpg city/highway and 21 mpg combined fuel economy rating. Additionally, the 2022 Lincoln Aviator will take 6 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour, while the 2022 BMW X5 needs 9 seconds to achieve the same speed. 

The Bottom Line

You can't go wrong with either of these two luxury SUVs. However, if you're looking for more space and comfort on those long road trips, plus value for your money and resale potential down the line, then the 2022 Lincoln Aviator is undoubtedly a better choice than its competitor.
