In the realm of luxury SUVs, robust performance is a must, and the Lincoln Aviator leads confidently with its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine. Producing 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque¹, it outpaces the XC90’s 247-horsepower B5 and 295-horsepower B6 four-cylinder engines³, especially when you demand swift acceleration. Volvo also offers the XC90 as a T8 plug-in hybrid.³

The choice of transmissions further sets them apart. The Aviator pairs its powerplant with a seamless 10-speed automatic¹, while the XC90 uses an 8-speed automatic.⁴

Whether you're accelerating onto the freeway or towing large loads, the Aviator's powertrain delivers the sports-sedan-like agility and strength that luxury SUV drivers crave.

When adventure calls, having a vehicle that can handle significant loads is essential. The Lincoln Aviator and Volvo XC90 are both rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped^1,4, enough for small boats and utility trailers.

Suspension technology also distinguishes these SUVs. The Aviator offers Adaptive Suspension, standard on Premiere, plus available Air Glide Suspension on Reserve², adjusting to road conditions in real time for a plush ride.

The Aviator's assured handling and robust towing capability make every journey smooth and capable, whether you're navigating the urban landscape or heading for the hills.

Inside the cabin, the Lincoln Aviator crafts a sanctuary tailored for relaxation and technology. Its 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen and 12.4-inch digital driver cluster deliver a truly immersive experience, complemented by available 30-way Perfect Position seats, standard on Black Label, for unparalleled comfort.²

In contrast, the XC90 offers a minimalist Scandinavian design with a serene appeal and power front seats³, but it does not offer 30-way adjustment.

Choose the Aviator to wrap yourself in luxury and enjoy every drive in a personalized, high-tech environment.

In an era where driving innovation defines luxury, the Lincoln Aviator stands out with standard Lincoln BlueCruise for hands-free driving on qualified highways², enhancing long road trips with effortless lane keeping and adaptive speed adjustments. Volvo’s Pilot Assist provides steering and speed support but is not a hands-free system. BlueCruise is not autonomous either; drivers must still watch the road.

For those prioritizing the cutting edge in driving aids, the Aviator's technology suite presents a comprehensive system that makes modern driving more relaxing and controlled.

Nothing offers peace of mind like robust safety features and long-term reliability. Both the Lincoln Aviator and Volvo XC90 boast advanced safety systems, but the Aviator extends its commitment with a 6-year or 70,000-mile powertrain warranty⁵, compared with the XC90’s 4-year or 50,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty.⁶

The Aviator stands as a long-term companion that promises enduring protection for your family and investment.
