The Lincoln Nautilus’ 2024 redesign didn’t get too radical on the outside, with styling that is a clear evolution of the attractive look of the previous generation SUV. But climb into the front seats and you’ll see that Lincoln let its interior designers run wild. Occupants are greeted with a flashy display screen that stretches across the entire front of the cabin, from windshield pillar to windshield pillar, while the driver sits behind an oblong steering wheel that poses some challenges.

Model History

2024-Present

Current Generation

The Nautilus is redesigned for 2024. In addition to styling updates, the two-row midsized luxury SUV boasts an optional hybrid drivetrain and a wide display screen that wraps around the front of the cabin. The base engine is a 250-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive; the optional 310-hp hybrid powertrain can be ordered on all trim levels and is mated to a continuously variable transmission. Two-tone paint and a blacked-out trim package are optional. All of the latest active safety features come standard. Ford's excellent BlueCruise (formerly called ActiveGlide) active driving assistance system is available as a subscription.

2019-2023

2019 Redesign Year

The Nautilus is a refreshed version of the MKX SUV for 2019. Engine choices are either a powerful 2.7-liter V6 turbo or a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. We found that the Nautilus with the more powerful engine delivers effortless power, a comfortable ride, a quiet cabin, and agile handling. The cabin is swanky, and the infotainment system is relatively easy to use. The only knock against this SUV is its unintuitive, fussy push-button gear selector. The unimpressive fuel economy of 18 mpg overall that we measured in the MKX should improve slightly, thanks to the new transmission. Lincoln has added new safety features, including a lane-centering feature and evasive steer assist that allows the SUV to steer around a vehicle stopped in front if the system determines a collision is likely and can't be avoided by braking alone. The Nautilus got an improved infotainment system called Sync 4 for 2021.
