Lincoln Nautilus Exterior Style
The Lincoln Nautilus boasts a refined and sophisticated exterior design, blending modern luxury with bold presence. Its distinctive front grille, featuring the signature Lincoln star pattern, adds elegance, while sleek headlights enhance its contemporary appeal. Depending on the year you select, other exterior style elements can include sculpted body lines and chrome accents, exuding premium craftsmanship and creating a sense of motion even at a standstill.The Nautilus is also available in vibrant color options, and some models offer stylish 20- or 21-inch alloy wheels for added flair. Aerodynamic details and a panoramic roof option further elevate its appeal, making the Nautilus a strong choice when it comes to understated luxury.
2026 Lincoln Nautilus Power and Performance
When you explore used Lincoln Nautilus models, one of the key considerations is the power and performance it provides. Luckily, even older models can compete with some of their modern rivals. For example, the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus has a turbocharged 2.0 four-cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower, which is combined with an eight-speed automatic transmission for a smooth driving experience. In addition, these earlier models are available with either front- or all-wheel drive, giving you added versatility if desired.Previous Lincoln Nautilus models can provide great performance, even when compared to their modern counterparts. For example, the 2019 Nautilus came with an optional 2.7-liter turbocharged V-6 engine that produces 335 horsepower. And you'll find the same powertrain options available on all models from 2019 up to 2023, so most of the used Nautilus models you explore will have these engines. With the standard setup, you can expect to go from 0 to 60 mph in about 6.8 seconds, while the turbocharged 2.7-liter engine clocks in at 5.9 seconds.
Lincoln Nautilus Gas Mileage
Since most of the recent Lincoln Nautilus models use the same powertrain, you can expect similar fuel efficiency results across model years. The best gas mileage comes from the front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder versions, where you'll get an EPA-rated 23 mpg combined. Opting for the V-6 engine with front-wheel drive drops the combined EPA rating slightly to 22 mpg. As for all-wheel-drive models, such as the V-6 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label, expect to get somewhere between 21 and 25 mpg. Regardless of which option you choose, you'll get great fuel efficiency for an SUV of this size and its respective age.Lincoln Nautilus Comfort and Infotainment
Perhaps the best part of any used Lincoln Nautilus is the interior driving experience. Lincoln always packs its models with the latest driver comfort and convenience innovations. This means that some of the older models have the same features as some of today's new models.
The features available in your Lincoln Nautilus will depend on its year and trim level. For instance, finding a used Lincoln Nautilus Reserve or Black Label likely means you'll get an interior wrapped in soft leather, massaging front seats with 22-way adjustability, a digital gauge cluster, and a push-button gear selector.In addition, in the most recent preowned Lincoln Nautilus models, you'll find a large touch-screen infotainment system. Going back to 2019, standard features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations, a premium 11-speaker audio system, and a 4G LTE-powered Wi-Fi hot spot. Among the earlier models, there can be more premium features available, such as a wireless smartphone charging pad and an onboard navigation system.
Finally, the Lincoln Nautilus excels as a family vehicle, offering a rear-seat entertainment system on all trim levels and ample amounts of cargo space. In more recent models, you can find around 36 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, which you can expand further when you fold the seats down.Lincoln Nautilus Safety Features
Safety features are another top priority in the Lincoln Nautilus. Many used Lincoln Nautilus models come with Lincoln's Co-Pilot360, a suite of driver-assistance features, as standard. Some of the safety features you'll likely find in these used models include:
- Automated emergency braking
- Pedestrian detection
- Lane-keeping assist
- Lane departure warning
Depending on the year and trim level, other available features include adaptive cruise control and lane-centering adaptive steering. All these features, and many others, are a big reason why the Lincoln Nautilus earned the highest safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Lincoln Nautilus Trim Levels
With each model year of the Lincoln Nautilus, you'll have a few trim levels to choose from. Older models have four options:
- Lincoln Nautilus Standard
- Lincoln Nautilus Select
- Lincoln Nautilus Reserve
- Lincoln Nautilus Black Label
From 2020 onward, Lincoln removed the Select trim level and began offering only the remaining three options. In addition to these trim levels, there were various upgrade packages available, such as the Co-Pilot Plus package, which added a host of safety features, or the Premium package, which added some convenience features such as a universal garage door remote. This makes it worthwhile for you to explore each used Lincoln Nautilus in-depth to see which features it includes, as just the trim level name might not tell you everything.
