Cold mornings, slushy roads and early sunsets ask a lot from any vehicle. They also reveal which features earn their place from December through March. Lincoln SUVs arrive ready for that season, with warm seats, heated steering wheels and all-wheel or four-wheel drive across the lineup.
This guide walks through the winter features Lincoln owners tend to appreciate most. Some keep you warm, some help you see clearly, and some give you more grip when the pavement turns white. Each one is tied to the model that offers it, so you know exactly where to look.
Few things feel better on a frosty morning than climbing into a cabin that is already warm. Remote start comes standard on the Lincoln Corsair, Aviator and Navigator, so you can get the engine running and the heat flowing while you finish your coffee.
The Navigator takes it a step further. Through Lincoln’s smartphone app, owners can schedule remote start and set cabin pre-conditioning ahead of time. That means the cabin can be warming up on a set schedule, ready for the same school run or office commute every weekday.
Phone As A Key adds another winter-friendly touch. It is standard on the Aviator and Navigator and offered on the Corsair. Your phone acts as the key, so there is one less thing to dig out of a coat pocket with gloves on.
Heated seats are often the feature owners mention first once the temperature drops. Lincoln spreads that warmth well beyond the driver’s seat, and the coverage grows as you move up the lineup.
Navigator passengers in the second row also get their own touchscreen controls for audio and seat settings. Kids and adults in the back can warm up their own seats without asking the driver to reach for a button.
Short days and blowing snow make good visibility a priority. The Aviator and Navigator both come with heated, power-adjustable sideview mirrors that help clear frost and ice from the glass.
Rain-sensing front wipers are also standard on both models, so the wipers respond on their own as wet snow builds up.
A rear window defroster comes standard on the Corsair, Aviator and Navigator. Auto high-beam headlamps help on dark rural roads by switching between high and low beams for you.
The Navigator adds adaptive pixel projector headlamps with dynamic bending, which help light the road through curves. The Nautilus offers available H2 Pixel Headlamps. A 360-degree camera on the Aviator and Navigator, also offered on the Corsair, helps you check around snowbanks before you back out of a tight spot.
Traction matters most when roads turn slippery, and every Lincoln SUV sends power to all four wheels. The Corsair, Nautilus and Aviator use all-wheel drive, while the Navigator uses four-wheel drive.
Lincoln Drive Modes let you tailor how the vehicle responds to the road. The Nautilus offers five standard modes, including Slippery and Deep Conditions. The Navigator includes the same Slippery and Deep Conditions settings, along with Normal, Conserve and Excite.
Some winter comforts are easy to overlook until you use them every day. An engine block heater is offered on the Aviator and Navigator, which gives owners another way to prepare for the coldest mornings.
Lincoln Embrace lights up the area around the vehicle as you approach, a welcome touch when it is dark by late afternoon. On the Navigator, it includes illuminated door handles and a lit welcome mat.
The Navigator’s power-operated Lincoln Split Gate and the Aviator’s power liftgate make loading groceries or hockey bags easier when your hands are full.
