The 2027 Lincoln Aviator Grille Options
The 2027 Lincoln Aviator carries on largely unchanged compared to its 2026 model year predecessor, according to a report from Ford Authority.
While much of the luxury crossover remains familiar, the most significant updates involve a new Lincoln Security Package for anti-theft and recovery, alongside a more affordable black-painted roof option. The pricing for the 2027 model year starts at $58,245, excluding destination freight charges.
The 2027 Aviator offers several distinct grille designs that vary based on the specific trim level and chosen equipment packages.
Design Choices by Trim Level
The entry-level Premiere trim and the midrange Reserve trim both feature a standard chrome mesh upper grille. According to Ford Authority, this design is encased in a surround with a Plated Satin Chrome finish.
Buyers looking for a darker aesthetic can opt for the $3,500 Jet Appearance Package on either the Premiere or Reserve trims. This package replaces the standard look with a grille featuring a black insert, plinth, and surround.
The Reserve trim provides additional customization through the $2,000 Illumination Package. This option adds a lit Lincoln star to the front of the vehicle and can be combined with the Jet Appearance Package if a buyer desires a dark, illuminated look.
| Trim Level | Standard Grille Design | Optional Upgrades |
|---|---|---|
| Premiere | Chrome mesh with Plated Satin Chrome surround | Jet Appearance Package ($3,500) |
| Reserve | Chrome mesh with Plated Satin Chrome surround | Jet Appearance Package ($3,500); Illumination Package ($2,000) |
| Black Label | Unique black mesh with Plated Satin Chrome surround | Jet Appearance Package ($3,500); Black Label Special Edition ($7,250) |
The Black Label Distinction
The range-topping Black Label trim receives a unique grille that is unavailable on any other Aviator model. This trim comes standard with a black mesh upper grille paired with a Plated Satin Chrome surround.
The lower grille on the Black Label is treated to a high-gloss finish with chrome accents. Buyers can further customize this trim with the $3,500 Jet Appearance Package, which introduces the black insert, plinth, and surround.
This specific blacked-out look is also included as part of the $7,250 Black Label Special Edition package. For those selecting the Black Label, the Illumination Package is included at no extra cost.
Active Grille Shutters Manage Airflow and Seven Colors Are Available
Beyond aesthetics, all 2027 Aviator models are equipped with active grille shutters. These components open or close automatically based on vehicle speed and the cooling demands of the engine to manage airflow into the engine bay.
When selecting the exterior color to complement these grilles, consumers have several choices. CarsDirect reports that the 2027 Aviator is available in seven exterior colors, including Asher Gray Metallic Clearcoat, Infinite Black Metallic Clearcoat, Pristine White Metallic Tri-Coat Clearcoat, Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Whisper Blue Metallic Clearcoat, and Cenote Green Bright Colorant Clearcoat.
Interior options are more varied, with 13 different colors available according to CarsDirect. These selections allow buyers to tailor the cabin atmosphere to match their chosen exterior trim and grille configuration.
