The Ford Authority Take

It’s very interesting that June 2019 marks the second month that Ford Motor Company records sales of the all-new 2020 Lincoln Aviator in Mexico, with four units sold. The first time was last May, when the automaker reported the sale of the first new Aviator in the country. This is something truly atypical, because the all-new three-row crossover SUV has even been announced for Mexico, and the vehicle has yet to reach American dealers.

What’s likely taking place is that the first pre-production units of the new crossover have arrived in Mexico, and FoMoCo needed to register them and mark them as sold, which is a strange development.

Meanwhile, Lincoln Mexico sales were held up by the Lincoln Nautilus/MKX, and the lineup is really asking for the replacement to the MKC, the new Lincoln Corsair, along with the aforementioned Aviator, to prop us sales volume in the market.
