Cons It’s $$$$ Third row is small The V-6 moans Grand Touring: not electric enough?
The Aviator sees only minor changes for 2021, including optional 21- and 22-inch wheel designs, three new colors (Asher Gray, Ocean Drive Blue, and Flight Blue), and an available Monochromatic Reserve appearance package.

The Elements package—found on the Reserve and Grand Touring models—now comes with heated and ventilated front seats.
Pros Polished turbo V-6 powertrain, comfortable interior, plenty of curb appeal.
Cons Unrefined optional hybrid powertrain, disappointing fuel economy, most expensive Black Label trim encroaches Navigator's price range.

Cons Not as fast as rivals Audi E-tron is quieter Tesla Model 3 has a longer range and faster charging
Pros Drives like a BMW should Looks won't alienate EV newbies Impressive range and performance
