The 2020 Aviator plug-in hybrid has a lot more power than Lincoln originally claimed.
The Lincoln Motor Company
Lincoln officially unveiled the 2020 Aviator plug-in hybrid at last year’s L.A. Auto Show and with it the announcement of a welcome dose of power. At the show, Lincoln claimed the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, battery pack and electric motor would pump out a combined 450 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, which aren’t show-stopping numbers these days, but impressive nonetheless, especially for Lincoln. Those figures are also false.
To put the Aviator plug-in hybrid’s new-found output into perspective, that’s 74 more horses and 100 more lb-ft than you’ll get from the Cadillac Escalade's 6.2-liter V8. And considering the Aviator is a weight class below it, you can bet the Lincoln will beat the Cadillac big rig getting up to speed on the highway as well. There isn't an official zero to 60mph time, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Aviator gets it done in under five seconds.
With that said, power isn’t everything and nowhere is that truer than in the luxury space going into 2020. Shaving tenths off zero to 60mph sprints and lap times don’t matter if the ride quality is garbage and the in-cabin experience is anything less than spectacular. In this respect, Lincoln may have found its stride again.
The Continental of the ‘60s is unarguably one of the greatest automotive icons of all time. When Lincoln tried to evoke that historic spirit in 2016 with the current generation Continental, it missed the mark slightly, but it was clear Ford’s luxury brand was on to something.
