The Lincoln Aviator EX8 (Chinese: 林肯飞行家EX8; pinyin: Línkě Fēihángjiā EX8) is a full-size luxury crossover SUV produced by Changan Ford, a joint venture between Chinese automaker Changan and American automaker Ford, and sold by Lincoln, Ford's luxury brand.

Overview

The Aviator EX8 was revealed through homologations made by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on 3 November 2026. Despite using the Aviator nameplate, it is unrelated to the existing Aviator. Instead, it was designed for and offered exclusively in the Chinese market.

Its exterior design uses an adaptation of Lincoln's design language, with a front grille, headlights and taillights similar to the facelifted Lincoln Nautilus.

It uses a two-row, five seat configuration.

Powertrain

The Aviator EX8 is only offered with one plug-in hybrid powertrain, using a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine producing 110 kW (150 hp; 150 PS). It uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries and achieves a top speed of 205 km/h (127 mph).
