Our Opinion - 2025 Lincoln Nautilus Review It has a 48-inch information screen that spans the dashboard, a scented interior that works with a certain seat massage setting, soothing graphics, and music that was carefully chosen. The car sounds like a high-end European model that costs a lot of money. We’re actually talking about the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus SUV, which got a whole new look the year before. The five-passenger Nautilus has a lot of cool features, but it also does great things with the basics, like having big seats, a smooth, quiet ride, and standard all-wheel drive. This is a big change for this luxury SUV. It goes from being a moderately high-end local SUV to a product that can compete with high-end cars from Europe and Japan. It would be a lot more competitive if it didn’t have a four-cylinder engine, which is just barely good enough, but since it’s so much cheaper than other options, it’s not a big deal. But we also look at a more powerful hybrid choice on its own. What's New? All trim levels now get a free four-year trial registration to BlueCruise, which lets them drive on the highway without using their hands. The multimodal relaxing program called Lincoln Rejuvenate was supposed to come out in the 2024 model year, but it is now available. Last year, the paint color Blue Panther was changed to Whisper Blue Metallic. The extra Jet Appearance package now comes with a new Light/Dark Smoked Truffle interior theme. Pros and Cons Pros A smooth, beautiful outside. Wonderful computer screens. People can drive with their hands-free. Cons Only average fuel economy for hybrids. It’s easy to grab the brake pedal. It looks like competitors have more money. Engine, Transmission, and Performance An inline-four turbocharged 2.0-liter engine makes 250 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque, which powers the Nautilus. It comes with all-wheel drive and an automatic engine with eight speeds. The hybrid’s 2.0-liter inline-four turbocharged engine makes 310 horsepower with the help of a 100 kW electric motor. We’ll talk about that type separately. The twin-turbo V-6 with 330 horsepower that Nautilus used to give has been taken off the market. Since the engines in the next model will probably use less gas than the V-6, this is a sign of the times. The Nautilus feels calm, comfortable, and snug when it’s moving. When you’re in Normal mode, the suspension smooths out most of the bumps in the road. If you choose the sharper Excite setting, you can get a tougher configuration. This setting lowers body roll in turns but makes the ride very rough, especially on the bigger 22-inch wheels. Safety The Nautilus comes with Lincoln’s Co-Pilot360 range of driver-assistance technologies as standard. The Nautilus comes with Lincoln’s BlueCruise hands-free highway driver-assist technology and a trial contract that lasts for 48 months. The following are important safety features: Typical automated emergency braking recognizes people. Normal lane-keeping makes the lane departure indicator work better. Hands-free driving mode and standard adaptive cruise control. Internal and External Cargo Capacity A huge number of internal improvements were made to the 2024 makeover. After being redone from top to bottom with more leather, bigger screens, and ambient lighting, the cabin went from being dull to beautiful. Lincoln Rejuvenate is an option for the Nautilus that turns the interior into a spa-in-a-car. Passengers can relax by changing the lighting, screen graphics, and massage settings for their seats. The three perfume cartridges in the middle armrest give off smells like patchouli, cashmere, and fresh linen. The Nautilus also has a 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D sound system and seats that can be adjusted in 24 different ways. All riders have more legroom than last year, but there is a little less room for bags behind the second row. Copper-colored internal stitching, aluminum appliques, and even a Redwood theme (only available on Nautilus Black Label trim) that looks like a redwood forest are available as extras. As standard, the car comes with remote keyless entry, heated seats that can be adjusted in 10 ways, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Fuel Economy and Actual MPG The EPA says that the Nautilus will get 29 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the city. At 75 miles per hour on our highway fuel economy route, the Nautilus got 30 mpg, which was better than its EPA estimate. We also tried the hybrid model on our 75-mph loop, and it got 30 mpg. Infotainment and Connectivity Lincoln says that the Nautilus dashboard’s 48.0-inch screen is the biggest in its class, but the fact that the tape measure is positioned vertically shows that it’s not an IMAX theater. At first, the widescreen layout looks great, but after a while, you get used to it, and the system is less noticeable than a normal entertainment setup. Along with the four-foot screen, the center of the dashboard has an 11.1-inch tablet for entertainment. This is where you can use the radio, make calls, and enter navigational locations. You don’t have to touch the screen to use Amazon’s Alexa voice helper, and the Nautilus supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without wires. Range, Charging, and Battery Life The turbocharged four-cylinder’s performance will be fine for most drivers; on our test track, it took 7.3 seconds to hit 60 mph. The Nautilus Hybrid was a little faster in our tests, hitting 60 mph in 6.6 seconds. Price and How to Choose The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus can range in price from $53,385 to $76,545 based on trim and extras. The main trim level of the Nautilus Reserve might be a great deal. The Jet look package doesn’t cost any more than the base trim. It comes with adaptive suspension, better sound from Revel Audio, and beautiful dark 22-inch wheels with chrome accents. A black roof and fenders, wheel arches, and paneling that match the paint job are some other visual improvements.
