[@1_lens_view]

Agreed. I picked up a “lightly used” version a few weeks ago for a road-tripper vehicle and haven’t had time to do more than use the very basic features. This video was and will be extremely useful.

[@AimeeFleck]

Steve, after driving my nautilus for a few months, I wanted to come back and leave some thoughts. We bought a 2021 reserve 2 with the 2.7 liter engine, 21” wheels and tow package. I adore this vehicle. It handles well (some body roll but I’ve driven worse), is speedy, drives on the highway like a dream. This is our 3rd Linclon (we’ve had a MKC and a MKZ hybrid). My only complaint is fuel economy lol and I wish the back seat was just a *little* roomier I’ve had major brain surgery in 2016 and get headaches and neck pain pretty easily, along with having broken my tail bone a few years before the brain, so ride quality is really important to me. Both my rear and my head are happy with this car 🤣 As a shorty I appreciate that foot lift gate! And as a comparison, I considered the Ford Edge to save a little $$ but I thought the auto stop/start was rough. I figured I’d go down to the Corsair if I needed to save some money (I loved my MKC so I was fine with the Corsair), but I do appreciate the extra cargo space in my he Nautilus. In short, I love my car and I’m very happy with my choice .

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks for the update Aimee! I remember you had mentioned needing comfort for those reasons so I’m glad that you’ve been comfortable in the Nautilus so far. Hope all is well otherwise!

Thanks for the detailed review. Looking forward to seeing the Black Label version. Tool sounded awesome even with YT compression! :) The Park Assist feature appears to require a lot more handholding than the implementation in the Genesis GV80.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Glad you enjoyed it Utsav and great catch on the song for the audio test. I was a bit disappointed on their choice of Park Assist system to use. The Nautilus has Enhanced Park Assist while the Corsair and Aviator have Active Park Assist. The difference is the Active Assist changes gears and controls the gas/brake for you while Enhanced just takes over the wheel. Hopefully Lincoln makes the switch for the 2022 model year!

[@rezab1949]

Hi Steve, Thanks for the Video, I like the way you are so honest telling all the pros and cons of the car. After watching your comprehensive review and some other ones, I ordered (leased) the 2022 Nautilus w/ all options available in Canada. They've said, it will be delivered towards end of December or early January next year. I hope the ride comfort of 21-inch wheel is as good as 18-inch.

@@CarsWithSteve I went with the Reserve in Green Gem - I love the look of that color. Went with Reserve I (or 201) with 360-Plus. I opted to keep the 4-cyl as I didn't want to spend the money on the 6 when I don't really need it. It seemed like the 4-cyl in the 2020 model was plenty peppy enough for me.

Thanks Keneisha! Unfortunately no changes in the rear camera quality in the 2022 model. By the look of it Lincoln won't include the HUD in this model year either but hopefully we see some upgrades by 2023

[@1964flyers]

Anouther great video Steve. I have driven 1000's of these vehicles and know all about them as I work at the plant in Oakville. You did an excellent job on everything you need to know about these vehicles. Just like yourself, alot of us at work could not for the life of us figure out why, after spending 70 000 for a new vehicle, there was NO spare tire? I kinda get it on a smaller and cheaper ford vehicle but not a Lincoln. That being said, anyone that buys 1 of these vehicles....you will not be disappointed.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Wow thanks so much! Haha I was wondering if the videos were watched by people at the assembly plants or corporate. The spare tire one got me as well. Lincoln Roadside Assistance is great but I'd rather change the tire myself if I'm stuck hours away from the nearest shop. And now I'm curious.. anything else you think would be a benefit to cover off for the 2022 video?

[@1964flyers]

@@CarsWithSteve Not really....other than these vehicles will not be produced much longer at the oakville assembly plant. Rumour has it that it's production will be in China. As for the Edge...it will be the last vehicle built here before construction starts in order to start production of the new EV units we will build in 2024

[@blesche12]

Thanks for the great details Steve! I can't wait for my Reserve II with mono, seat and spare to arrive. Have you heard any rumors about when the next batch of chips will come in for cars that are already built and waiting?

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome Bill, glad you enjoyed it! Sounds like you've got a great build for your Nautilus. Ford announced a few weeks ago that they're working on new chips with other manufacturers so that something like this won't happen again. No official update on timelines for cars that are sitting in Oakville waiting for their chips though

[@wbae1340]

I’m jealous of that info screen. So much better than my 21 explorer

[@CarsWithSteve]

I know right?! It's nice seeing what some of the next generation tech will look like. I can see the Explorer lineup getting a similar style screen to what the Explorer ST with Street Pack has - a vertical 12" when they move to Sync4

[@pepperpitts3921]

Hey Steve…great video! Just drove mine home a couple days ago. Quick question…can you lock the key fob in the car? Is there a setting which will allow that? It’s nice sometimes not to have to bring the fob with you and then just use the keypad to unlock the car. Let me know and thanks! Also - can you get the car to give you audible sounds when it locks? My old MKX did that and it’s nice to have.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Hey Pepper! You could technically lock it in the car but I've had a few people point out reasons not to.. Mainly if someone breaks in they could easily drive off because the fob would be inside. Solution there could be to install a kill switch but it would be a bit of a pain For the audible sound when the vehicle is locked on the steering wheel press the Settings button then navigate to Locks. You're looking for the Feedback option :)

[@melmattoast1271]

Great information, Steve! You should be getting the commission on the 2021 Nautilus Reserve that I just picked up earlier this week. I bought it pretty much sight unseen going mostly by your video here and a few others. The remote start from the app works great and I was super happy to find out that the engine, heat, etc. stays on when you open the door! There are so many brands out there (like Lexus) that shuts everything off as soon as you open the door. I will admit that the cameras are pretty bad 😕 but everything else is fantastic. However, I'm having an issue with the audio volume randomly fading in and out. I've tried to troubleshoot it and am not coming up with much. I've turned the volume/speed compensation off, but that didn't help. I've plugged in my phone, that didn't help, and besides, it does it on Sirius XM as well as Spotify off my phone. This morning it was especially bad, but on the drive home it seemed okay. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Hah love it, thanks so much Mel! I'll have a look at a 2022 when they start landing on dealer lots and reach out to a Lincoln contact to see if it's a software issue for the camera It's odd that the audio is giving you intermittent issues. Intermittent issues could mean there's something wrong with a module. If it keeps happening then I'd book it in for a service appt to have the techs diagnose it

[@sleep-n-airemattressgaller8508]

[@lenoramulock4201]

best explanation I have seen - answered most of my questions. Except the "C" charging port. I can't figure out what it is used for since the "c" port is on my phone and the other end is the usb standard plug.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Glad you found the video helpful Lenora! Oh the one part of the video I missed :P The "c" charging port is the smaller lightning connector. There are some aftermarket USB cables that will have that smaller plug on both ends - doesn't make a difference in playback or charging in vehicles but it would increase your data transfer speed if you're using it on a desktop or laptop computer

Hey Steve, to get (S) Sport Mode on a Lincoln, do i have to add a certain package and is it available on any model and any trim? thanks.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Certain models won't have Sport mode as a selectable option with the piano keys. If you're in a Nautilus it will be there, in the Aviator and Corsair you'd use the selectable "Excite" drive mode

[@nirajs347]

Is it possible to have the blind spot system beep when switching lanes? Or does it only light up on the mirrors?

[@CarsWithSteve]

It would be great for that to be an option but unfortunately Lincoln has opted for just a visual cue for the blind spot system

Steve... Can you turn off... Auto start/stop Permanently? Thanks for your response!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Disabling only lasts one key cycle unfortunately. Don't think anyone has come up with an ECU flash for a permanent fix

[@lizkatari]

I’m curious how the different drive modes drive? Is comfort a really nice supple but not floaty wallowy ride? Is Sport a nice tightened up ride, but doesn’t beat you up? Is normal a nice balance between the other 2 modes? Any info is appreciated.

[@CarsWithSteve]

You know what? I just realized I haven't' really done a dive into the drive modes in the reviews. Thanks for pointing that out! Comfort loosens up the steering wheel, so you need to rotate the wheel more to turn while Sport tightens things up. Sport will also let the engine rev a bit higher before changing gears for improved acceleration! You're bang on with the normal mode. It's a balance between Sport and Comfort!

Only 106K KM on the MKX so not sure there is a rush except age of us not the car. The Active Park Assist is just so nice when arms etc don't work as well and HUD is nice to have also.

How is the reliability of these new Lincoln SUV’s. I love the styling and would consider one if I knew that the reliability is as good as Lexus or Acura.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Doing a bit of research, there were a few electrical issues some drivers were reporting in the 2019. The 2020 seems to not have the same issues and the 2021 is still too early to tell. Also found some folks online that have the previous gen MKX, which the Nautilus replaced, who have 160,000km+ on theirs right now and it's running great. Looking at the engine, it's either 2.0L turbo or 2.7L turbo so just make sure you maintain it properly, change the spark plugs a bit more often and you should be good.

[@phlotographer]

I have a 2011 MKX Limited ED which I purchased in 2013. Only 106K KM but not anything major of concern. 15 L/ 100 KM is nothing to write home about but being advised by Lincoln to only use 87 octane, the gas cost is not great and during the pandemic travel has been minimal in any event. I love the MKX and likely would like the new Nautilus but the Genesis V 80 is also intriguing. If Nautilus goes EV, that might be another option if I am still alive.

Would loved to seen a demo of putting the 2.7L in flat tow made for towing behind a motorhome. We are new owners of a 2021 Nautilus and yet to find it in the manual, and at the time of purchase no one at the dealership knew how to put it in tow mode. My complaints are the lack of USB in the car. Should be one in the center console, and in the rear cargo area. The lack of a engine cover is also my complaint. I honestly thought someone had removed it from our car. I know it's under the hood, but it does look tacky when the hood is open seeing the rat nest of wiring. A nice Lincoln cover would look better. Luckily my 2021 did come with a spare tire. We feel much more comfortable having a spare on road trips.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Will add that one to the list, thanks for the suggestion! Rear cargo USB is a good idea, probably tough to do in the next few years because of the chip shortage that's going on right now. The engine cover is an interesting one. They stopped part way in 2021 on the Corsair as well, most likely commodity constraints. There are some aftermarket ones you could add on though if you really wanted to hide the motor. Curious, did you go with the massage seats?

[@jerryw4458]

We did not get one with the massage seats. I believe we have every other option available though. We had to drive to Houston from Oklahoma City just to find the one we got. With the already shortage of new cars, we had a massive hail storm come through that totaled out thousands of cars, making it that much harder finding a car. Our Lincoln dealership was charging a $5000.00 low inventory fee over MSRP, and I wasn’t going to pay that.

@@rhemy1 Interesting! After you said that I started digging around to see the OBD2 ports on other OEMs.. it's a pretty solid 50/50 split on hidden vs visible wires across manufacturers. Even across luxury lineups the wires are hidden about 50% of the time. Curious, do you think the hidden wires makes that big of a difference?

@@CarsWithSteve to me it’s a shame because it can’t cost that much more and the top end can reach $70,000 so the details should be more attended to.

@@rhemy1 Agree with you there. I wasn't thinking of the smaller finishes that you should see but a closed off or enclosed OBD2 port would definitely make sense for this!

Wow- 35 minutes of this review involved the dash, tech, screens etc.Not really what a lot of drivers/viewers are interested in.

[@CarsWithSteve]

I think the view count, all the comments and 96% like ratio would disagree with that. But now I’m curious.. what do you look for in reviews?

[@gars1074]

@@CarsWithSteve Well, 97% of ALL MY REVIEWS are positive, encouraging and complementary and I get reciprical agreement on them. So theres that. If you post videos on KZbin you should be prepared to accept some criticism. My comments speak for themself. Your video is SO disproportionate and myopic to reflect YOUR idea of what viewers want to see. TouTube caters to ALL ages, demographics, countries, genders etc. Comments on the ride quality, safety, dynamics, seat comfort, rigidity, chasis etc, etc could all be covered rather than THE ELECTRONICS, the dash. The VAST majority of potential customers for this vehicle are probably "baby boomers" or mid to older drivers. You video does clearly NOT cater to this demographic. You might want to watch some other, more mature, knowledgeable, experienced reviewers if you want to improve.

@@gars1074 I'm fine with constructive criticism but your first comment had exactly 0 elements of being constructive. I've grown this channel to over 5 million views in 2.5 years by creating content like this so there's clearly a demand for it. No one, on any of my previous videos for any brand, has suggested more coverage of the safety, dynamics, chassis etc. If it's not suggested as something people want to see more of then how does it make sense to create content around that? Surprisingly the demographics for this video are 80% 35 - 55 years old so it's not just "baby boomers" looking at this ride. Maybe next time you can try commenting with some helpful tips and then skip attacking someone's knowledge of a subject :)

Steve does a phenomenal job covering all aspects of a vehicle. Please go produce your own video and see who attracts more view buddy

[@gars1074]

@@LL-mt2nz You should use spellcheck- the correct grammar is "views" ..BEFORE YOU POST SOMETHING. I AM not your "BUDDY". Are you a used car salesman also? Really, did you have to say "phenomenal"? Sounds like car salesman lingo.
