What it is

The 2027 Lincoln Aviator AWD is an SUV classified by the EPA as a standard sport utility vehicle with four-wheel drive. It uses gasoline, a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Its drive system is part-time 4-wheel drive. The figure that defines its fuel-use chart is 20 MPG combined.

The EPA numbers

The Aviator AWD is rated at 17 MPG in city driving and 24 MPG on the highway. The 20 MPG combined figure blends those two test cycles into one number for mixed driving.

That means stop-and-go trips use more fuel than steady highway travel. Your result will depend on how much of your driving is in each setting.

What it costs to run

The EPA lists annual gasoline cost at $3,350. That figure gives a yearly fuel-budget reference for this model's official ratings.

Tailpipe emissions are rated at 454 grams of CO2 per mile.

How it compares

A 20 MPG combined rating gives you a clear point of comparison when you line up the Aviator AWD with other SUVs. You can place it beside Lincoln cars or browse fuel-efficient SUVs using the same EPA measures.

The available figures do not show a specific MPG gap against another model, so the comparison depends on the vehicles you choose.

Who it suits

This Aviator suits a driver who wants an SUV with part-time 4-wheel drive and a turbocharged six-cylinder gasoline engine, and who can plan around a 20 MPG combined rating.

It also fits buyers who want to budget using the EPA's $3,350 annual fuel-cost estimate.

Trade-offs

City mileage is 17 MPG, below the 24 MPG highway rating, so frequent urban driving can raise fuel use compared with open-road trips.

The gasoline powertrain and 454 grams of CO2 per mile come with the utility of an SUV and part-time 4-wheel drive, but they do not provide an electric or hybrid fuel figure.

Verdict

Choose the 2027 Lincoln Aviator AWD if its SUV body, turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and part-time 4-wheel-drive system match your priorities. Its 20 MPG combined rating is the central running-cost number, while the EPA's $3,350 yearly estimate shows what fuel budgeting may look like. Drivers spending most of their time in city traffic should pay attention to the 17 MPG city figure. Highway-heavy use makes better use of its 24 MPG rating.
