The Lincoln Nautilus is bigger than the Corsair and smaller than the Aviator, providing the perfect size SUV for those wanting a comfortable ride with the ability to seat 5 people.

Interior

We loved the front legroom space and roomy trunk, the interior houses a number of luxurious options including heated and ventilated leather seats, heated rear seats and ambient lighting. There is also a choice of three scent cartridges in the center console.

The piano key shifter for park, drive, neutral and reserve took a bit to get used to, but eventually I found it easier to use than a standard gear box. The 13.2-inch infotainment display is easy to use and features Apple Car Play and Android Auto. There’s also wireless phone charging and a choice of 10, 13, or 19 speakers.

The Lincoln Way App with Lincoln connect has a schedule for a remote start, vehicle finder, remote lock/unlock and a parking find feature.

Under the hood is a twin turbocharged V6 engine bringing 33.5 horsepower and 8 speed automatic transmission. We liked the power when merging and existing freeways.

Exterior

The Nautilus delivers stylish sleek exterior design with a new Lincoln signature grille and rear spoiler. There’s also a new wider taillight and a nice power liftgate, especially helpful when loading and unloading luggage.

The top-of-the-line Nautilus Black Label retails for approximately $67,245. Taking the Black Label Lincoln Nautilus to Vegas provided a luxurious and comfortable ride into Sin City and it was hard to have to give it back once we returned home.
