The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus
The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus mid-size luxury crossover has aged gracefully, yet the company has still opted to implement significant changes as it embarks on its second generation. This overhaul is extensive, boasting a hybrid powertrain option that delivers 310 horsepower, standard all-wheel drive, and an interior that boasts an abundance of screen real estate. Although the base engine remains a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that produces 250 horsepower and is paired with an eight-speed automatic, the new chassis offers more legroom for all five passengers. The dashboard features a colossal digital display that measures 48.0 inches, which can be personalized to your preferences and includes navigation, a clock, stereo settings, and an overview of the forthcoming weather forecast.
The Nautilus comes equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine under the hood, which generates 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque when paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid powertrain combines the turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine with a 100 kW electric motor, delivering a total output of 310 horsepower, and works in tandem with a continuously variable transmission. Both powertrains connect to an all-wheel-drive system.
The new Nautilus's interior updates are simply breathtaking, transforming the once-mundane cockpit into a brilliant space. The redesign features more leather, larger screens, and ambient lighting. The Lincoln Rejuvenate option provides a spa-like experience with customized interior lighting, seat positioning, screen visuals, and massaging-seat settings that help occupants relax. A center armrest containing three scent cartridges offers a range of aromas, including patchouli, cashmere, and fresh linen. Additionally, the Nautilus boasts a 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system and 24-way power-adjustable seats. While there is slightly less rear cargo space behind the second row compared to last year, there is more legroom for all passengers. Optional equipment packages offer aluminum appliques, copper-colored interior stitching, and a Redwood theme, which is exclusively available on the Nautilus Black Label trim and evokes the ambiance of a redwood forest. Standard features include a leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel, 10-way adjustable heated-and-ventilated seats, and remote keyless entry.
Overall, the new Lincoln Nautilus is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, with notable improvements in both performance and luxury features. The addition of a hybrid powertrain option, along with standard all-wheel drive and a redesigned interior with impressive technology, make the Nautilus a compelling choice in the mid-size luxury SUV segment.
