Compare 2025 Lincoln Aviator vs 2026 BMW X5

Performance

The Aviator is available in three trim levels in 2025. Each one is outfitted with a turbo 3.0-liter, V6 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The output is 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. The first two trim levels are available with standard rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive. The top trim level comes with standard all-wheel drive. Lower trims have an optional adaptive air suspension system, and this is standard for the higher trim level.

The first two of the X5's four trim levels have a 375-horsepower, mild-hybrid turbo 3.0-liter, V6 engine. A turbo V6, plug-in hybrid system is also available, and it has a 39-mile all-electric range. For a premium price, the top X5 is equipped with a mild-hybrid, sport-tuned V8 that produces 523 horsepower.

Appearance

The refreshed design of the 2025 Aviator is stunning with a sophisticated front-end design and crisp upper and lower pinstripes across the sides. The sides also show off chrome accents across the lower door panels and the long air vent. The pinwheel-style wheels add a special effect. At the front, the almost triangular headlights are accented on two sides by an LED ribbon, and this ribbon extends into the grille.

The X5 has the same look that it's had for several years. The sides are deeply scooped while the back fenders are flared. A small air vent sits near the front fender, and the fenders are lined with dark molding. The front bumper has a three-sided chrome element, and the small grille is thickly outlined with chrome.
