Traveling is more fun when you can take the people you love along with you. However, your whole crew can enjoy the ride in the Lincoln Aviator’s additional and more spacious seating appointments.
When searching for your next SUV, you’ll need to be sure that you’re choosing one with enough space for your family to comfortably fit. The Lincoln Aviator makes space with three rowsof seating and room for up to seven passengers.
A few of your friends may get left behind in the Genesis GV80 since it only seats five passengers in its standard configuration.
Additionally, the Lincoln Aviator has more space for everyone to stretch out:

---|---|---|
Front Legroom | 43 inches | 41.6 inches |
Middle Legroom | 39 inches | 38.7 inches |
Rear Legroom | 29.2 inches | N/A |
As you can see, it may get a little cramped in the GV80 with its significantly less legroom—but not in the Lincoln Aviator!
You deserve an SUV that satisfies your need for speed. Fortunately, both the Lincoln Aviator and the Genesis GV80 come with commanding powertrains that put you right in the fast lane.
One of the reasons you’re deciding between the Lincoln Aviator and the Genesis GV80? You want to break the mold of a classic family ride. The Lincoln Aviator is ready to take your daily carpool duties to the next level with its Twin-Turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine, which produces 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
On the contrary, the 2.5L Turbo engine of the Genesis GV80 maxes out at only 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque in its base trim.
Part of the allure of driving a luxury SUV is the promise of excellence. This extends to every facet of the Lincoln Aviator and the GV80, including their dedication to eliminating imperfections in the road. The Genesis accomplishes this with its electronically controlled suspension, which makes systematic adjustments to the suspension based on road scans.
The Lincoln Aviator, on the other hand, takes handling one step further with its available Air Glide Suspension. This feature eliminates traditional coil spring suspensions and replaces it with air bladders. These are then inflated and deflated as needed so you feel like you’re driving on air.
Luxury SUVs, like the Lincoln Aviator and the Genesis GV80, are worthwhile investments. This means having a standard safety suite is more important than ever, especially if you want to protect your investment. Even with standard security features on either model, the Lincoln takes your protection to new heights.
To provide greater confidence when exploring the open road, these SUVs are armed with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. This system monitors how close you are to frontal obstacles so you can make the necessary corrections to stay out of harm’s way. In certain situations, it will even apply the brakes to help lessen or completely avoid impact.
For even more protection, the Lincoln Aviator is also available with Evasive Steering Assist. It works with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking to detect when Dynamic Brake Support may be needed. When necessary, this system jumps into action to provide additional steering support that could help you avoid a collision.
Without a comparable system in the Genesis GV80, you may not find your braking as firm or as fully supported in an emergency.
