Lincoln Aviator vs INFINITI QX80

CarGurus experts rate the 2022 INFINITI QX80 as 7 out of 10 and the 2023 Lincoln Aviator as 8 out of 10. The QX80's family resemblance to the Nissan Armada is evident, but its distinctive front-end styling, tasteful use of chrome, and stylish 22-inch dark chrome alloy wheels give it an upscale look. The QX80's cabin is furnished with unique and upscale materials, offering a comfortable and attractive space. However, the QX80's interior style is gradually going out of fashion. On the other hand, the 2023 Lincoln Aviator boasts a successful execution of the modern Lincoln face, with appealing wheel designs and a fancy, albeit somewhat busy, interior.
