2022 Audi Q7 vs. 2022 Lincoln Aviator

The 2022 Lincoln Aviator is a moderately sized hybrid SUV that features a stunning Black Label cabin with lots of cabin space and plenty of power. But is it good enough to beat the 2022 Audi Q7, an SUV with superb handling and the industry’s newest safety tech?

Design & Style

The Audi Q7 is a 3 row sport utility vehicle that has gorgeous lines with a frame that is tapered. It can seat up to seven passengers and the seats are plush with considerable padding while in the trunk buyers will get thirty five cubic feet wroth of luggage space. It sits on nineteen inch wheels and has received new LEDs in the rear and front.

The Lincoln Aviator has an exterior which is sleek, with a presence that is commanding. Though not as large as the Lincoln Navigator, the Aviator should not be seen merely as a smaller version, since its style and polish makes it distinct. The leather and wood arrangement within the cabin is elegant and its front seats are amazing and capable of being adjusted thirty different ways.

Technology & Safety

When it comes to safety, the Lincoln Aviator does well across most metrics, except the headlights. The IIHS was not impressed, giving them a marginal rating, and only by upgrading to the Reserve trim will you get illumination which is good. The NHTSA has given the Aviator a perfect 5 star rating, due to its blind area monitoring, lane control and emergency automated braking. Amenities within its cabin include a fourteen speaker sound system from Revel, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging for smartphones, leather upholstery and a camera with surround view.

The Audi Q7 now comes with standardized side rear airbags, along with traffic jam guidance, lane control which is active, blind area monitoring and a mechanism which monitors the attention of the driver, ensuring that they are always focused on the road. It can also identify traffic signs automatically and perks within its cabin include ten inch touch displays, power tailgate, climate control, panoramic sunroof and air suspension which are adaptive.

Performance

Those that want maximum performance will purchase the Audi SQ7, which uses a dual turbo V8 engine to generate 500 horsepower with 568 pounds of torque, allowing it to blaze from zero to sixty in just 4.3 seconds with a 155 mph maximum top speed. Those that purchase the Aviator Grand Touring will get a lithium ion battery and electric motor that can produce 494 horsepower with 630 pounds of torque, enabling it to go from zero to sixty in 6 seconds.

The Bottom Line

While the Lincoln Aviator is well designed, the Audi Q7 surpasses it with superior horsepower and acceleration time, plus the Aviator’s 3rd row is too tight and its subpar headlights make the Q7 the victor.
