Whether you’re driving the kids to school or commuting to work, all you need to get on the road is a power source. To get started, we'll head right under the hood and check out what powers these two SUVs.
The Lincoln Aviator provides a powerful engine beneath the hood. In fact, the standard Twin-Turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with Auto Start-Stop Technology puts out up to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
Over in the BMW X5, its standard 3.0-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine simply can't compare. It only puts out 335 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque.
When taking a look at the drivetrains of each model, you’ll find several similarities. The Lincoln Aviator and the BMW X5 each come with a rear-wheel drive system. However, you can upgrade to available all-wheel drive in either model.
You deserve a vehicle that illuminates your drive and ensures comfort for each and every passenger. Luxury models like the Lincoln Aviator and the BMW X5 do just that with spacious interiors and advanced amenities.
The Lincoln Aviator takes you to a whole new level of comfort when it comes to your seating options. Available Perfect Position Front Seats offer heating, ventilation, and 30 ways to adjust to find the perfect customizable comfort.
While the BMW X5 offers heated and seats and some adjustability, you certainly won't be able to adjust in 30 different ways.
Of course, your comfort also depends on other interior aspects such as the temperature and noise level. While the BMW X5 has a multi-zone climate control system, the Lincoln Aviator goes above and beyond to cater to the quality of your drive with available Quad-Zone Climate Control and Auto Air Refresh.
The latter holistically monitors the air and filters out particles from tobacco smoke, smog, and even some allergens like pollen. Add in the available Active Noise Control, and you’re setting yourself up for a wonderful ride.
Of course, you'll need the perfect technology to round out the drive. While luxury SUVs like the Lincoln Aviator and the BMW X5 are well-known for their advanced technologies, they don’t quite match up evenly.
Whether you’ll be driving to new destinations often or commuting to work several times a week, there are multiple things that require your consideration. First and foremost, you’ll be paying attention to the road. However, you’ll also be keeping an eye on your speed, mileage, and other important information.
With the Lincoln Aviator, you can count on available technologies such as:
- Speed Sign Recognition
- Evasive Steering Assist
- 360-Degree Camera
The Lincoln Aviator is also available with several features that make your drive more welcoming and convenient. For instance, The Lincoln Embrace gives you a sequence of welcome lights both inside and out as you approach the SUV. With available Air Glide Suspension, it will even lower itself to help you load cargo and enter the vehicle.
When you’ve sat down and connected your phone, the available Revel® Ultima 3D Audio system immerses you in sound with 28 speakers throughout the cabin. While the BMW X5 has a nice interior, it doesn’t greet you with the same embrace as the Lincoln and only offers up to 16 speakers.
While it's true both SUVs are decent choices for your commutes around the Narragansett and Rhode Island, RI area, it's clear that the Lincoln Aviator outperforms the BMW X5 in crucial categories like performance features, convenience, and interior technology.
