The 2025 Lincoln Aviator vs. the 2025 Lincoln Navigator: Midsize vs. Full-Size SUV at Your Lincoln Dealership

If you’re on the hunt for a new family vehicle at your local Lincoln dealership, your choice may come down to the 2025 Lincoln Navigator or the 2025 Lincoln Aviator. Both models are excellent options for family fun and adventure with spacious seating, powerful engines, and thoughtful, practical features. Explore the highlights of each model to see which Lincoln SUV is right for your daily driving needs.  

If size and seating capacity are the most important factors to consider, then the larger-than-life Lincoln Navigator is ideal. The Navigator is a full-size luxury model with a seating capacity of seven or eight, depending on your preferred second and third-row seating features. The original Navigator has a cargo capacity of 22.9 cubic feet with all seats upright, while the Navigator L can hold a minimum of 37.4 cubic feet. 

The Lincoln Aviator has a standard seating capacity of seven, but can seat six with certain feature upgrades. This model offers 19.2 cubic feet of cargo space with all three rows upright and a maximum cargo capacity of 78.6 cubic feet with the rear rows folded flat. 

Seating Features

Comfortable and configurable seating is essential for each Lincoln Model. The Navigator has standard power-folding second-row captain’s chairs with a pass-through space for easy access to the power-folding third-row bench seat, which can fold with a 40/20/40 split. Drivers can upgrade to a power-folding second-row 40/20/40 split bench with heated outboard seats. This model has heated second row seats and heated and ventilated front seats. 

The Aviator Premiere has standard captain’s chairs in the second row with a mini console between the seats for in-cabin organization, as well as a power-folding third-row 50/50 bench seat. Heated second-row seats are standard for this model. On the Aviator Reserve, drivers can upgrade to a 35/30/35 split-folding second-row bench seat for additional seating capacity. 

Technology Features

Each Lincoln model is equipped with Google Maps capability as a standard feature. Google Maps allows drivers to plan detailed routes, such as avoiding highways, and even helps drivers locate points of interest along the way to find rest stops, hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and more. Both of these premium SUVs are also equipped with a Lincoln Connect 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot for seamless media streaming on the go.

The Navigator comes with a 48-inch panoramic instrument cluster and an 11-inch central touchscreen, as well as a standard 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system with standard HD Radio streaming. The Aviator can also stream HD Radio. The Aviator Premiere has a 10-speaker premium audio system, while upper models have a 14-speaker or 28-speaker Revel audio system. 

Each of these three-row Lincoln SUV models is an ideal match for busy families on the go. With similarities in connectivity technology and convenient seating configuration, picking the right model for your lifestyle may come down to size and cargo needs. Drop by Steet-Ponte Lincoln in Yorkville, NY for a test drive today.
