We would pony up the extra seven-or-so grand for the Reserve grade. Leather seating is a basic luxury appointment that's standard on Reserve and not available on the base Standard trim. Going with Reserve also opens you up to a long list of inviting options that aren't available for the base grade like Phone As A Key and Co-Pilot 360 Plus. In any case, we think the Lincoln Aviator is a top-tier contender within the 3-row luxury segment. Find a Lincoln Aviator for sale
