Which Aviator trim does Edmunds recommend?

With all the new standard features thrown in for 2025, we think the base Premiere trim is the best value. It comes with the 13.2-inch touchscreen running Google Maps and BlueCruise hands-free adaptive cruise control, so you don't miss out on many tech features found on the Reserve and Black Label. If you want a little extra pampering, choose the Premiere II package for its 14-speaker audio system and upgraded head-up display.
