Used 2023 Lincoln Aviator for Sale nearEl Paso, TX

How much does the 2023 Lincoln Aviator cost?

Prices have softened 13.79% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,239 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Lincoln Aviator earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating, which points to broad appeal for shoppers who want a refined three-row luxury SUV. The Aviator is built around Lincoln’s Quiet Flight idea, so you’re getting a calm, comfort-first experience rather than something tuned for sporty driving.

The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

That said, you should weigh the trade-offs: the electric range is unimpressive, the third row is cramped, and the technology feels outdated. Even so, the Aviator’s comfortable ride, impressive handling, and strong stereo make it a compelling fit if you value serenity and luxury over sharp driving dynamics.

Only 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is selective rather than flooded with bargains.

Is the 2023 Lincoln Aviator reliable?

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

The Aviator is presented as a quiet, comfort-focused luxury SUV with a polished driving character, and the expert evaluation reinforces that it delivers a smooth, composed experience. The plug-in hybrid powertrain is described as making best use of battery charge to maximize efficiency, and Lincoln says the battery can recharge in under four hours on a 240-volt Level 2 charger.

Lincoln also leans into ownership perks, including valet pick-up and drop-off for scheduled service and a loaner vehicle, which can make day-to-day ownership feel easier. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the Aviator’s tech and electrified drivetrain can feel more complex than the rest of the vehicle, so condition and maintenance history matter.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on electronics, driver-assistance behavior, and the condition of the hybrid system if you’re shopping a Grand Touring model. You’ll also want to pay close attention to cabin wear, since the Aviator’s upscale interior materials and tech-heavy setup are central to the ownership experience.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The standard trims use a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while the Grand Touring versions add a hybrid automatic transmission, a 75-kilowatt electric motor, and a 13.6-kilowatt-hour battery pack. The base setup is the one to compare closely if you want the simplest path into the lineup, while the Grand Touring models suit you if you want electrified performance and standard AWD.
• Powertrain: The plug-in hybrid setup produces 494 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque, with 21 miles of electric driving range and 23 mpg combined in hybrid mode. It can feel quick and efficient, but the drivetrain can be unpredictable, and the brake pedal can be inconsistent.
• Safety package: Lincoln uses Co-Pilot360 1.5, Co-Pilot360 1.5 Plus, and Co-Pilot360 2.0 driver-aid collections, with availability varying by trim. Standard and available features include 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-centering assist, and evasive steering assist.
• Infotainment: The Aviator uses a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Alexa integration, Lincoln Connect connected services, a WiFi hotspot, SiriusXM satellite radio, and navigation. It runs Sync 3 software, which is a weak point if you care about voice control and modern interface behavior.
• Fuel efficiency: The plug-in hybrid returns 23 mpg combined in hybrid mode and can deliver strong efficiency when you use electric power for a meaningful share of your driving. Lincoln says it can recharge in under four hours on a 240-volt Level 2 charger.

Which 2023 Lincoln Aviator trim should I buy?

The 2023 Lincoln Aviator is offered in 4 trim levels: Standard, Reserve, Black Label, and Grand Touring.

Here's the short version:

• Standard: This is the entry point if you want the twin-turbo V6 and the core Aviator experience without moving up the price ladder. It makes sense if you care most about the Aviator’s quiet, comfort-first character and want to keep the purchase more grounded.
• Reserve: This is the trim to target if you want a more upscale balance of equipment and value. It builds on the Aviator’s luxury mission without pushing you all the way to the top of the range, so it’s the best-value choice for many shoppers.
• Black Label: Choose this if you want the most luxurious gas-powered Aviator experience and the richest cabin presentation. It’s the trim for buyers who care most about materials, ambiance, and a more exclusive feel.
• Grand Touring: Pick this if you want the plug-in hybrid powertrain, standard AWD, and the strongest performance and efficiency mix in the lineup. It’s also the trim that gets the special Jet Package and Special Edition Luxe Package mentioned for 2023.

Safety-package availability varies by trim, so you should confirm exactly which Co-Pilot360 collection and driver-assistance features are included on the specific vehicle you’re considering.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,239 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $42,465, 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 $42,465 sits slightly below last year's $49,258.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than on broad market momentum alone.

Because the Aviator is a luxury SUV with a strong comfort reputation, well-kept examples should still attract interest from shoppers who want a refined three-row model. 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 the NHTSA.

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

Lincoln equips the Aviator with Co-Pilot360 1.5, Co-Pilot360 1.5 Plus, and Co-Pilot360 2.0 driver-aid collections, though availability varies by trim. On the fully loaded test vehicle, features included automatic high-beam 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-centering assist, and evasive steering assist.

The main caveat is that the driver aids can be less dependable in denser traffic and wider freeway settings, and the lane-keeping system can hug lane markings too closely in curves. You should test the specific vehicle’s driver-assistance behavior on your own route before you buy.

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:

• 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.79% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 lineup adds a new Jet Package with blacked-out trim and a Special Edition Luxe Package with a black-painted roof, both newly available for Grand Touring models.

The bottom line: The 2023 Aviator makes sense if you want the quiet, comfort-first Lincoln experience and you’re comfortable with its outdated tech and cramped third row. If you’re price-sensitive, you can use the softened market to target a well-kept example, but you should still compare equipment carefully and prioritize condition over trim badges.
