Used 2025 Lincoln Aviator for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2025 Lincoln Aviator cost?

Prices have softened 10.75% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 876 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Lincoln Aviator a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Lincoln Aviator earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Technology and Safety.

It stands out in the midsize, three-row luxury SUV segment by leaning into traditional American luxury and mid-century modern cues while still delivering a calm, unhurried cabin experience. It is also described as distinctive without being polarizing, which helps if you want something upscale and different without feeling flashy.

The main trade-offs are poor fuel economy and cramped third-row seats. It also isn’t the choice if you want a sporty luxury SUV, since the driving character is tuned more for comfort than enthusiasm.

With 28.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Lincoln Aviator reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2025 Aviator is presented as a refined, well-equipped luxury SUV with a strong feature set and a calm driving personality. Its twin-turbo V6 is described as a great engine unless you’re concerned about fuel economy, and the cabin is positioned as quiet and comfortable for everyday use.

The ownership picture is helped by complimentary valet pick-up and drop-off service for scheduled maintenance, plus four years of free access to BlueCruise. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the same strengths that make it appealing — especially the powerful V6 and luxury equipment — can also make ownership expensive if you prioritize efficiency or low running costs.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Lincoln Aviator?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re looking at higher-mileage examples or vehicles with larger wheels and more option content. Focus on cabin condition, ride quality, and whether the tech and driver-assistance systems operate cleanly, since this model leans heavily on comfort and advanced equipment.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label, and the feature gap at the lower end is meaningful because higher trims add more luxury equipment and richer materials.
• Powertrain: A twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 is the only engine option, with 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque; it’s quick and smooth, but efficiency is not a strength.
• Safety package: Lincoln Co-Pilot360 Drive 2.0 is standard, and it includes active blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, intersection assist, evasive steering assist, reverse braking assist, adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, and BlueCruise with a complimentary four-year subscription.
• Infotainment: A 13.2-inch touchscreen works with Google Built-in, Alexa Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, and the system is paired with a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster.
• Fuel efficiency: The official EPA fuel economy rating is 20 mpg in combined driving, and the test vehicle returned 17.7 mpg on a mountainous route.

Which 2025 Lincoln Aviator trim should I buy?

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator is offered in 3 trim levels: Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label.

Here's the short version:

• Premiere: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Aviator’s core luxury-SUV formula with the standard V6, the large digital displays, and the advanced safety and driver-assistance suite. It makes sense if you want the Aviator experience without chasing the highest sticker price.
• Reserve: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a richer luxury feel and is the trim where the Aviator’s comfort and tech upgrades start to feel especially worthwhile. If you want the sweet spot between price and equipment, this is the one to target.
• Black Label: This is the most upscale version, and it’s the right pick if you want the most premium presentation and are willing to pay for it. It also pairs with the largest standard wheel size mentioned in the test data, which may matter if you’re comparing ride comfort.

BlueCruise is standard, so you don’t need to move up the lineup just to get that hands-free driving assistance system.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Lincoln Aviator?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 28.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 876 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.75% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $59,830, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Lincoln Aviator's resale value?

The current average of $59,841 sits slightly below last year's $67,050.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently today but may also limit upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the current softness means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than broad market momentum.

The Aviator’s strong technology, safety, and owner satisfaction profile should help support demand among shoppers who want a distinctive luxury three-row SUV. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2025 Lincoln Aviator safe?

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator earns five-star ratings across the board from NHTSA, plus a four-star rating for rollover resistance, and it receives Good ratings in all completed IIHS evaluations.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Lincoln Co-Pilot360 Drive 2.0 is standard, and the standout features include active blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, intersection assist, evasive steering assist, reverse braking assist, adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, and BlueCruise. BlueCruise is standard and includes a complimentary four-year subscription, which gives you hands-free driving assistance on approved highways.

One caveat is that reverse braking assist can be overly sensitive in some situations, and blind-spot warnings on the head-up display require the turn signal to be used first. Even so, the Aviator’s overall safety package is strong and well-rounded.

Should I buy a 2025 Lincoln Aviator or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 28.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.75% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds some of the most advanced technology in the segment, along with fresh styling and new thematic packages.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It leans even more into comfort and luxury while keeping the stronger engine.

The bottom line: If you want the better-known market value story and a broad set of listings to compare, the 2025 is the safer buy. If your priority is a newer take on the same comfort-first formula, the 2026 is worth a look; price-sensitive buyers should still focus on the 2025 because the current market already shows softer pricing.
