I recently had the opportunity to drive the 2022 Lincoln Aviator® AWD Black Label Grand Touring Plug-in Hybrid and it is fabulous!
 |
The 2022 Lincoln Aviator® AWD Black Label Grand
Touring Plug-in Hybrid at the F. Scott Fitzgerald home in Montgomery,
Alabama. A bit of history for you. Lincoln
Motor Company was founded in 1917. F. Scott Fitzgerald joined the U.S. Army
in 1917. In June of 1918 Fitzgerald was assigned to Camp Sheridan, near
Montgomery, Alabama. There he fell in love with a celebrated belle, Zelda
Sayre, the youngest daughter of an Alabama Supreme Court judge. In
1922, Ford acquired Lincoln. Fitzgerald
loved automobiles and owned a 1934 Ford coupé and a 1937 Ford
convertible. |

The Lincoln Aviator® Black Label Grand Touring three-row
large luxury SUV builds from the Grand Touring model, a plug-in hybrid, while
providing three unique interior themes — Flight, Destination and Chalet — plus
exclusive member services and experiences. * Additional features include the
Luxury Package, Illumination Package, Perfect Position 30-way front seats, soft
close doors and more. With the standard Dynamic Handling Package, the Lincoln
Aviator Black Label Grand Touring model offers the most standard and available
features within the Aviator lineup.
With the hybrid option, Aviator Grand Touring’s
twin-turbocharged engine and advanced electrified technology takes the levels
of performance to an impressive 494 combined horsepower and 630 combined
ft.-lbs. of torque.
Lincoln Drive Modes are one of several intuitive options to
seamlessly customize the Aviator drive experience. Standard modes include
Normal, Conserve, Excite, Slippery and Deep Conditions.
Each is fully integrated – clients simply select the mode,
and Aviator takes care of the rest. Aviator Grand Touring includes two
additional modes:
Preserve EV recharges and saves battery power for a later time, while continuing to use both engine and motor to deliver the full performance drivers expect; the high-voltage battery can be recharged up to 75 percent while driving in this mode.
Pure EV is designed to keep the driver in all-electric mode in most conditions; should demand exceed electric capability, the driver receives a prompt to allow the gas engine to engage.
Being an audiophile, I LOVED the Revel® Ultima 3D Audio
System, which re-creates an authentic concert-hall experience by immersing you
in rich, superior sound emanating from 28 speakers throughout the cabin. It
offers a choice between three listening modes – stereo, audience and on-stage –
while a control slider in the center stack allows you to fully immerse yourself
in sound. The new system acoustically expands cabin space to transform the
environment, while its 360-degree immersion capability ensures that every seat
is the best seat in the house.

Unique chimes recorded by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra
provide musical alerts for 25 features in Aviator, notifying you of everything
from an open fuel door to an unlatched safety belt.
My favorite features are the Perfect Position seats with Active Motion, offer 30-way
adjustability, massage capability and additional lumbar support for driver and
front-row passenger for paramount comfort. Flexible second-row seats
recline, adjust fore and aft, and tip and slide forward for easy access to the
third row.
An ergonomically advanced Vision steering wheel, intended
for ultimate ease of use and customization, adds to the effortless ambience
through contextual controls. The steering wheel features streamlined four-way
switches at strategic positions to control music, phone and available navigation
functions, in addition to settings.
The third row provides ample seating and can be folded flat
to create plenty of room for cargo. When left up, Aviator offers best-in-class
cargo volume behind the second row. Advanced under-floor battery packaging in
the Aviator Grand Touring allows for all the benefits of an electrified
powertrain without compromising luggage space or legroom.
Other convenience features include an available wireless
charging pad for compatible mobile phones located in the front-row center
armrest, and a handy media bin is available for the front-row passenger.
Multiple power outlets throughout the cabin and a standard Wi-Fi hotspot keep all
occupants connected.
The boundless allure of flight has long inspired automotive
design, and the exterior styling of the all-new Lincoln Aviator takes that
inspiration to the next level. The connotations of flight are intrinsic in the
strong front and tapering rear of the vehicle, creating a distinct aerofoil analogy.

The signature Black Label grille is executed in high-gloss black and chrome accents that beckon the eye, while the appearance of a wraparound windshield completes the aviation-inspired theme.
 |

Available Lincoln Black Label themes include:
Destination – draws inspiration from vintage
luggage with Mahogany Red Savannah leather complemented by smooth khaya wood
appliqués.
Flight - harmoniously combines Luggage Tan and Ebony
and features dark full engine turn appliqués that replicate the finish of early
aviation instrument panels.
Chalet - offers Espresso and Alpine Savannah leathers
and deep Silverwood appliqués, with touches designed to awaken the senses.
The Lincoln star adorning the grilles of Aviator Grand Touring and Aviator Black Label Grand Touring features Spirit Blue in the four quadrants to signify the hybrid powertrain.
Signature grilles for Aviator Black Label themes feature a
protruding star pattern in a bright chrome finish, while the grille for Aviator
Grand Touring disperses the star pattern in varying sizes from the center with
a satin finish.
I must say, the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with
Lane Centering Assist, Speed Sign Recognition and Active Parking
Assist were used quite frequently. However, as mentioned above, my favorite feature in the 2022 Lincoln Aviator® AWD Black
Label Grand Touring Plug-in Hybrid are the Perfect Position Front Seats with
30-Way Power Adjustability because if you are not sitting comfortably for the
drive, you are going to be miserable the entire trip.
