Used 2023 Lincoln Aviator for Sale nearLethbridge, AB

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Aviator cost?

Prices have softened 16.29% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 129 listings available, which suggests you have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator a good car?

Yes — 5/5 from owners and 7.00/10 from our experts. The 2023 Lincoln Aviator is built around Lincoln’s “Quiet Flight” idea, so you’re getting a three-row luxury SUV that prioritises comfort, serenity, and a relaxed driving experience over sporty engagement. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

That said, the trade-offs are clear: the electric range is unimpressive, the third row is cramped, and the technology feels outdated. Even so, if you want a refined, upscale SUV for calm commuting and highway cruising, this year’s Aviator fits that brief well.

With 39.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitively priced example.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Aviator’s appeal is rooted in its quiet, comfort-first character, and the expert review reinforces that it delivers a smooth, hushed, luxury-focused experience. The performance notes also suggest the powertrain is capable and efficient when used thoughtfully, especially in plug-in hybrid form, where the system can make good use of electric driving before the gas engine takes over.

The technology and driver-assistance systems are extensive, but the infotainment software is dated and some controls are unnecessarily fussy, which can affect day-to-day ease of use. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about basic capability and more about living with ageing tech and the compromises that come with a complex luxury SUV.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Lincoln Aviator?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Grand Touring adds the plug-in hybrid powertrain, a more advanced hybrid automatic transmission, a 75-kilowatt electric motor, and a 13.6-kilowatt-hour battery pack. It also brings a more upscale presentation, but the base Grand Touring wheels are described as plainer than the ones on the test vehicle, so you may want to compare appearance and equipment carefully.
• Powertrain: The Grand Touring uses a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 with a 10-speed hybrid automatic transmission and standard AWD. It is tuned for strong output and can run in Pure EV or Preserve EV modes, with the system automatically blending electricity and gasoline depending on conditions.
• Safety package: Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.5, Co-Pilot360 1.5 Plus, and Co-Pilot360 2.0 are referenced, but availability and features vary by trim and option package. On the fully loaded test vehicle, you get adaptive-pixel headlights, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, road-sign recognition, pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic rear braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centring assist, and evasive steering assist.
• Infotainment: The Aviator uses a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Lincoln Connect connected services, a WiFi hotspot, SiriusXM satellite radio, and navigation. It runs Sync 3, which is dated, so you should test voice recognition and overall responsiveness before you buy.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada says the Grand Touring averages 10.3 L/100 km combined in hybrid mode and offers 34 kilometres of electric driving range. In testing, it returned 1.4 L/100 km over a short electric-heavy stretch and 9.7 L/100 km over a longer evaluation.

Which 2023 Lincoln Aviator trim should I buy?

The 2023 Lincoln Aviator is offered in 2 trim levels: Reserve and Grand Touring.

Here's the short version:

• Reserve: This is the standard gas model with the twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6, 10-speed automatic transmission, and standard AWD in Canada. If you want the Aviator’s core quiet-luxury experience without stepping into plug-in hybrid pricing, this is the trim to focus on.
• Grand Touring: This is the best-value choice if you want the most advanced powertrain and the richest feature set described in the data. It adds the plug-in hybrid system, electric driving capability, and the most comprehensive technology and driver-assistance content, making it the trim that best matches the Aviator’s upscale mission.

Safety content notes that feature availability can vary by trim level and option package, so it is worth confirming exactly which driver-assistance systems are fitted on any used example you consider.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Lincoln Aviator?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can afford to shop carefully and compare examples.

• Deal availability: 39.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 129 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.29% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $51,077 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator's resale value?

The current average of $51,077 CAD sits slightly below last year's $61,020 CAD.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can be good news if you are buying now but less favourable if you plan to sell soon. If you own one, the softer pricing means you may need to be realistic about expectations when it comes time to trade or list it privately.

The upside is that the Aviator still has a clear identity: a comfort-first luxury SUV with strong equipment and a distinctive cabin experience. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator safe?

The 2023 Lincoln Aviator earns a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS and a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.5, Co-Pilot360 1.5 Plus, and Co-Pilot360 2.0 are referenced as the driver-assistance suites, and the fully loaded test vehicle includes adaptive-pixel headlights, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, road-sign recognition, pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic rear braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centring assist, and evasive steering assist.

The main caveat is that availability and features vary by trim and option package, so you should verify the exact safety equipment on any used Aviator you are considering.

Should I buy a 2023 Lincoln Aviator or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 39.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.29% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 stands out for its Quiet Flight character, with a calm, comfort-focused luxury experience and a plug-in hybrid Grand Touring option that adds electric driving capability.

The bottom line: If you want the Aviator’s refined cabin, relaxed road manners, and strong luxury presence, the 2023 model year is a sensible target. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby years and shop whichever one gives you the best combination of equipment, condition, and asking price.
