According to many reports, the new 2024 Lincoln Aviator EV will be launched sometime next year. However, don’t expect sales to begin before December 2023. Just like the PHEV model, we’re expecting the new electric SUV to be modern and powerful. As far as we know, the forthcoming Aviator will sit on the same platform as the PHEV model but modified to handle large batteries.

For those who may not know, the Lincoln Aviator is a luxury 3-row midsize SUV made in the United States. This SUV is wonderfully comfortable, and it offers high level of technology.

First Look

At the moment, we only have one rendering image of the 2024 Lincoln Aviator EV. It seems that the design language of the upcoming Lincoln vehicles will change a bit.

First of all, the front fascia is new, featuring larger grille with chrome finished elements and more unique headlights. We also notice a very stylish wheels and plenty of black elements. Overall, compared to the original Aviator, the electric version looks way more aggressive.

Interior Rumors

Considering that there is no available image inside the upcoming 2024 Lincoln Aviator EV, we don’t know exactly what will look like. From many unofficial reports, the forthcoming SUV will get the same level of quality as the Lincoln Zephyr model.

This means we can also expect the Aviator EV to come with the similar digital gauge cluster and a huge infotainment display that stretches across the entire dashboard. Other features that should also be there as standard are Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, satellite radio, Wi-Fi, USB-A and USB-C ports (front and rear) Bluetooth, and at least 10-speaker audio setup. Just like the original Aviator, the electric version will include many driver aids. Probably it will come with forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, front/rear parking sensors, and automatic high beams.

2024 Lincoln Aviator EV Specs

Unfortunately, at the moment, we don’t have any official information regarding motor specs of the 2024 Lincoln Aviator EV model. We’re expecting the new SUV to use at least two electric motors, providing way better output than the current PHEV. In case you didn’t know, the current Lincoln Aviator uses two different engine options.

The base model comes with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 developing 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. This engine uses a 10-speed automatic transmission. The more powerful is optional PHEV model that uses the same 3.0-liter V6 but in this case paired with an electric motor, and by a lithium-ion battery. Thanks to that, it produces a total output of 494 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque, while all-wheel drive is standard.

The most affordable Lincoln Aviator is the base model, starting at $51,800, plus a destination charge. However, the Grand Touring plug-in hybrid is around $68,680, while the Label Grand Touring tops $88,770.

So, we’re expecting the new electric model to be between, staring at $75,000. For comparison, the latest Audi Q7 starts at around $57K, while the Volvo XC90 begins in the $51K region.
