Question 1

What are the technical specifications and price of the 2022 Lincoln Aviator in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator is a mid-size luxury SUV available in 5-passenger (two-row) or 6-passenger captain's chair or 7-passenger bench seat configurations. Two powertrain options are offered in Canada. The standard Aviator features a twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 producing 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD — making it one of the most powerful standard-configuration SUVs in its class. The Aviator Grand Touring PHEV combines the same 3.0L twin-turbo V6 with a plug-in hybrid electric system for a total system output of 494 hp, the highest in its segment. Canadian MSRPs for 2022 started at approximately $62,000 for the Aviator Standard AWD and approximately $80,000 for the Aviator Grand Touring PHEV. Available trim levels include Standard, Select, Reserve, Black Label, and Grand Touring PHEV. Built on Ford Motor Company's CD6 platform shared with the Ford Explorer, the Aviator distinguishes itself through premium interior appointments characteristic of Lincoln: genuine wood inlays, Throne seating in Venetian leather, 30-colour ambient lighting, a 28-speaker Revel Ultima audio system, and comprehensive Ford Co-Pilot360 active safety technology across all trims.

Question 2

Is the 2022 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring PHEV eligible for government EV incentives in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring PHEV is a plug-in hybrid with an electric-only range of approximately 28 km per Natural Resources Canada testing — below the 50 km minimum electric range required for the federal iZEV plug-in hybrid incentive of $2,500. As a result, the 2022 Aviator Grand Touring PHEV does not meet the electric range criterion for the federal iZEV incentive applicable to PHEVs. Similarly, Quebec's Roulez vert program required a minimum of 50 km of NRC-rated electric range for PHEVs — the Aviator PHEV 2022 does not qualify under this threshold either. That said, the Aviator PHEV still delivers tangible real-world fuel savings compared to the standard gasoline version: combined fuel consumption in hybrid mode after battery depletion is approximately 11.7 L/100 km, versus approximately 13.5 L/100 km for the standard V6-only Aviator. The 494 hp combined output remains the Aviator Grand Touring's primary selling point in Canada — an unmatched performance figure in the segment. Check tc.gc.ca regularly for updates to incentive program criteria, as thresholds and qualifying conditions are periodically revised by Transport Canada.

Question 3

How does the 2022 Lincoln Aviator compare to the Lexus RX 350L, Cadillac XT6, and Genesis GV80 for a Canadian buyer?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator stands out in the Canadian mid-size luxury SUV segment through its exceptional power output (400 hp standard, 494 hp PHEV) and distinctive premium interior appointments — particularly the Revel Ultima 28-speaker audio system and Black Label trim's curated interior themes. Against the 2022 Lexus RX 350L (V6, 295 hp, from $63,050), the Aviator delivers substantially more power and better third-row space, but with higher fuel consumption (13.5 vs 10.4 L/100 km) and historically less consistent long-term reliability scores per J.D. Power customer satisfaction studies. Against the 2022 Cadillac XT6 AWD (V6, 310 hp, from approximately $57,000), the Aviator offers more power and a more opulent interior feel at higher cost. Against the 2022 Genesis GV80 (2.5T turbo or V6, from approximately $55,000), the Aviator outperforms on power and interior volume, though Genesis offers a more generous warranty (5 years/100,000 km basic) and a distinct Korean luxury identity gaining momentum in Canadian markets. For Canadian families requiring the most powerful three-row luxury SUV under $90,000, the Aviator Grand Touring PHEV at 494 hp is unrivalled — though its 28 km PHEV electric range positions it more as a performance hybrid than a meaningful daily EV commuter.
