TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 Audi Q7 three-row SUV features more standard safety and convenience features, an excellent infotainment system, and a soft, luxurious ride.

The 2021 Lincoln Aviator drops sensational style and space, but the Grand Touring plug-in’s a bit of a misfire.

TCC Likes

Sophisticated interior
More standard safety tech
Improved touchscreens

A 7/8ths Navigator
Big infotainment displays
Hybrid plug-in

TCC Dislikes

New engine is less efficient
V-6 is about $6,000 more, depending on trim
Third row for children only

It’s $$$$
Third row is small
The V-6 moans
