2020 Lincoln Aviator vs Audi Q7
At first glance, the all-new 2020 Lincoln Aviator and Audi Q7 have a lot in common. They are both 7-seater luxury sport utility vehicles that start at about the same price. They’re even the same length to within tenths of an inch. But the 2020 Aviator has some distinct advantages that you should consider before you buy. We’ll take a good look in this comparison guide between the brand-new Aviator and its Q7 rival.
Reliability: 2020 Lincoln Aviator
Luxury vehicles aren’t cheap, as everyone knows. So you want to know you’re getting a quality vehicle for your money. If you want the greatest chance of a luxury SUV that’ll last and last, in this contest, our money is on the 2020 Aviator. JD Power and Associates gave the 2020 Aviator’s a reliability score of 3.5 out of 5, or a bit above average. A score of 3 is a perfectly average car’s reliability, which is exactly the score the Audi Q7 was awarded. This measures initial customer satisfaction with their vehicle, as well as their satisfaction over the lifetime of their vehicle, meaning the Aviator had fewer unpleasant surprises.
Cargo Space: 2020 Lincoln Aviator
Chances are you bought an SUV instead of a four-door sedan for the extra room. If you’re looking for plenty of space to stash your stuff, the 2020 Aviator is more your speed. That’s because the Aviator comes with 18.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seats, 41.8 cubic feet with that row folded, and 77.7 cubes in total. Meanwhile, the Audi Q7 offers only 14.8 cubic feet when the third row is in use and upright. Lower that row and you have 37.5 cubic feet and the maximum tops out at 71.6 cubes.
Passenger Room: 2020 Lincoln Aviator
And the theme continues with the passenger room as well. First of all, keep in mind that while the Lincoln and Audi are almost exactly the same length, the Lincoln Aviator is both wider and taller. That means fewer elbow wars between kids and more headroom for tall passengers. The odd thing is that the Aviator also somehow has more legroom in front and the middle row than the Q7 while having the exact same amount of legroom in the backseat. Is it magic or is it great design? The world may never know.
Price: 2020 Lincoln Aviator
The final reason to favor the Aviator over the Q7 is its potential to save you thousands of dollars. The 2020 Lincoln Aviator starts at $51,100 while the Audi Q7 is at least $53,550. If these characteristics make you take a closer look at the Aviator, we think there's a good reason to do so.
