Lincoln Aviator looks to be soaring above the crowd

Welcome the latest to join the Lincoln stable, the three-row crossover Aviator.  

Lincoln is slowing dropping the confusing MK- naming convention in favor of more traditional monikers.  

Lincoln hasn't said much about what's under the hood, save that it will be a twin-turbo engine, optionally mated to plug-in hybrid technology.  

Drivers will be able to lock, unlock and start the Aviator from their phone.

The gas-only engine will be available in rear-wheel drive, while the plug-in hybrid will only get all-wheel drive.  

A new predictive suspension system can read the road ahead and adjust accordingly. Say good-bye to surprise potholes.  

The interior looks pretty slick, but we're still not on board with that push-button transmission.  

Third-row seats seem to have enough room for a fully-grown adult.  

Ford's new Co-Pilot360 suite of driving aids will be standard, as well, with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist and more.  

No word on pricing or availability yet, but we bet we'll see the Aviator in dealerships sometime in 2019.
