But even the alluring Aviator gets better when you add the luxurious Jet appearance package. Sure, this package doesn’t improve the car’s performance—but since when does luxury have to pass a performance test?

What is the Lincoln Aviator Jet package?

Introduced in 2022, the Jet package is an appearance upgrade to the Lincoln Aviator. This package is not available on all

Lincoln Aviator configurations

. It’s limited to the Lincoln Aviator Reserve, Reserve 1, and Black Label trims.

This package swaps chrome for black exterior elements to your Aviator SUV, including glossy black trim, mirror caps, front grille, roof rails, and black 22-inch wheels. The package also includes body-color lower cladding and wheel-lip moldings.

There are four available exterior color options for the 2022 Lincoln Aviator Jet: Infinite Black, Pristine White, Silver Radiance, and Diamond Red.

What’s included

The Jet appearance package makes several substitutions in the exterior of the Lincoln Aviator:

22-inch black aluminum wheels

Black high-gloss front grille

Black door mirror caps

Black roof rails

Black door badges

Black front and rear door spears

Black glass surrounds

Black lower fascia

Body-colored lower cladding

Body-colored wheel surrounds

If you hate chrome, this dark-themed trim gives the Aviator a much more slick and dramatic look to this already impressive SUV.

What it does

Ultimately, the Jet package is purely aesthetic. There’s no performance value included in this upgrade—unless you drive better when you feel cool.

The Lincoln Aviator Jet package swaps out the glaring chrome accents on the exterior of your SUV for darker accents while smoothing out the appearance of lower cladding and wheel surrounds by blending them into the rest of the vehicle.

The truth is that this vehicle already looks handsome, even at lower trim levels. However, the Jet appearance package can up the ante and make your SUV look even more expensive at a fraction of the cost of a higher trim level.

Be aware that specialty modifications and appearance packages can cause a slight increase in your car insurance premium. That’s because special parts cost more to replace.

Is the Lincoln Aviator Jet package worth it?

The Jet package is certainly a sexy addition to an already appealing SUV—and your Lincoln Aviator doesn’t need any help in the aesthetics department.

So is the Jet package worth it? Look, we’re not here to yuck your yum. If it makes your heart happy to get rid of the chrome, then by all means, get the Jet package!

The only thing we’ll say is that the price tag of $2,670 is pretty high for a purely aesthetic upgrade. But if you’re already spending $58,000 (or $80,000) on an Aviator, then this may not seem like a huge sum.

Before you invest, consider what else that $2,670 could buy for your Lincoln.

For just $2,530, you could upgrade your Aviator from rear-wheel drive to all-wheel drive. For $2,500, you could get Lincoln’s Co-Pilot360 1.5 Plus package which includes excellent driver assistance and safety features like parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, and reverse brake assist.

Ultimately, the Jet package is a worthwhile investment for any Lincoln driver who is determined to darken and smooth out the appearance of their SUV.
