The Nautilus was designed and engineered for the brand’s younger, global customers, offering them choices in technology, design and powertrains based on their needs and lifestyles – progressing the brand’s design to a more dynamic, digital space.
The reimagined cabin incorporates new ambient lighting along with crystal-inspired details throughout the vehicle that capture the essence of seeing sun reflected on water – a piano key shifter, instrument panel toggles and audio knob that shimmer. Nautilus awakens with a new Lincoln Embrace beginning at the center of the new display, flowing out into the front and rear door panels. A flat-top steering wheel allows clients to see over, not through the wheel, giving an overall effect of comfortable openness and a sense of freedom.
Nautilus will also offer a new, exclusive Lincoln Black Label theme – Redwood, in addition to the popular Chalet theme. Redwood mimics the warmth and beauty of the redwood forest, with a tree-inspired motif.
The all-new Lincoln Nautilus SUV takes sanctuary into the connected future, designed to help clients recharge, with features that craft an entirely new sensory experience that will immerse you in rejuvenating power of sight, sound, touch and scent.
Introducing a new in-vehicle digital experience, Nautilus allows clients to create their own sanctuary – beginning at the center touchscreen and extending up and out into the main display. The new display spans the entire dash and can be personalized to meet driver needs – raising the preferred information of their choice to help keep their eyes up and on the road.
Lincoln Rejuvenate, a stationary experience, orchestrates specially curated sensory experiences tied to lighting, screen visuals, personal preferences such as seating position and massage options – allowing clients to recharge. A symphonic orchestration with crisp, high-resolution animations on the displays creates an immersive digital sanctuary based on different moods.
As part of Lincoln Rejuvenate and a standalone feature, Nautilus offers the brand’s specially curated digital scents for the cabin. Three scent cartridges, which are house in the center armrest are included – Mystic Forest, an earthy blend with woody, rich notes of patchouli, Ozonic Azure, a crisp blend of aromatic patchouli and traces of bright violet and Violet Cashmere, exotic white florals and trusted violet that are crisp and refined as fresh linen.
On the road, Nautilus brings the most standard Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) capabilities and is among the first vehicles in its class with an available hands-free highway driving feature5 giving drivers additional comfort and confidence when in traffic or on long journeys.
Building on the top active driving assistance system rating from Consumer Reports for the first version of BlueCruise, the Nautilus launches with Lincoln BlueCruise 1.2 that makes hands-free driving even better with new features and system improvements to create more of a human-like driving feel. Lane Change Assist enables the Nautilus to perform a hands-free lane change when requested by the driver tapping the turn signal, and it can even suggest if a lane change would be beneficial when following slow-moving traffic.
Outside, Nautilus features a dynamic, new exterior and all-new LED headlamps as well as all-new LED taillamps with animation. New signature lighting elements represent Lincoln’s lighting vision for the future, reinforcing and connecting the lit Lincoln star and signature front light bar.
And with an evolved face, the new Nautilus has a bold, commanding exterior design, as signature lighting features flow out from the lit Lincoln star to the front light bar. Nautilus features a new, signature grille that is hand-crafted with attention to detail.
The all-new Nautilus will offer clients the choice of two powertrains for their lifestyles – a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine as well as a hybrid powertrain. The standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with targeted 250 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque8 is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The new 2.0-liter engine with standard all-wheel drive has light weighting benefits which will result in maximized fuel economy over the prior model year.
The all-new global Nautilus will arrive in North American showrooms in early 2024. Ordering is now open. Check out www.lincoln.com for more.
