There’s less storage space in the rear of the 2nd row than the previous year however there’s more room available to everyone.

Lincoln states its 48.0-inch display area on the upper part of the Nautilus dashboard is among the top however, when the tape measure is turned vertically, there’s no theater with an IMAX screen.

Specs and Engine
In the underside of every Nautilus is an engine that is the engine that is turbocharged 2.0-liter inside-four motor. In the case of non-hybrids, it’s 250 horsepower and 275 pounds-feet of torque that is bolted onto an eight-speed auto transmission. Its turbo-charged 2.0-liter inline-four is assisted by an electric motor that is 100 kW to produce a total of 310 hp. The hybrid is equipped with an automatic transmission that is continuously variable. Both engines connect to an all-wheel drive. The 330 horsepower twin-turbo V-6 which was offered on Nautilus is no longer available. Think of it as a signification of the times, because the two new models’ engines are likely to provide greater fuel efficiency over the V-6. In terms of performance, things, it’s still to be determined if the new Nautilus will be able to match the 5.9-second jump to 60 mph that the prior generation had with its twin-turbo V-6. We’ll be able to answer that question when we’ve strapped our testing gear on the latest Nautilus later in the year.
The EPA and Lincoln have not yet announced their estimates. EPA or Lincoln has yet to announce fuel efficiency estimations for the new Nautilus however, given the similarity in performance between the old and new models, we expect the base engine model to be at around 22 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. For the hybrid model, we expect the fuel efficiency to be similar to that of the Ford Escape Hybrid. Since the Escape utilizes a bigger turbocharged four-cylinder, is smaller in horsepower, and is just a few hundred pounds heavier, we’re expecting the Nautilus hybrid’s EPA value to sit around 37 mpg in city driving and 33 miles per gallon on highways. We’ll update this page with official figures as they are available.
Price and Release Date
Lincoln promises that deliveries of the newly designed Nautilus will begin as early as 2024. The price has gone up for the latest model which is up by around $5,500 from the 2023 model. However, with AWD and a host of other premium features that are now standard, this seems to be a good reason. It’s a good thing that the Lincoln Nautilus now starts at just under $52,000 for the starting Premiere trim. Moving up to the Reserve model in the middle comes with a price tag of around $56,000. It comes with larger wheels, better interior trim, and a host of other top-quality features.
