Absolutely. Just bought new '24 Aviator AWD. Cross shopped & it was far better than all others. Great job Lincoln 💯

[@relicboxing]

Can't believe they make you reach to shift with buttons

[@Jayw-cl8pq]

I've had a Reserve II hybrid model for 3 weeks now. Went 426 miles on a tank. Mix city and highway. Just put in a new tank of gas. This vehicle is amazing. Smooth ride. Effortless acceleration. Very spacious. That screen is phenomenal and I actually love the steering wheel. Everything is just responsive.

[@1993rufus]

[@StevenHusak]

@@1993rufus you must have an amazing Crystal Ball. A statement like that without any backup or reason shows a low IQ. I bought mine about the same time as @jayw-cl8pg. It is my 8th consecutive Lincoln. It is an awesome vehicle. Sorry dufus...oh, rufus. I already regret even reading your silly-assed response.

Was looking forward to the review on this channel and as always you delivered! I'm pretty sure both of you know that this is my favorite vehicle for 2024 hands down! Glad you both like the Nautilus and that sensational interior. Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend 👊🤝

[@omidnamin9004]

this is how you do a modern interior! kudos to Lincoln for actually doing some "design" instead of gluing a couple of cheap tablets in there.

Lack of moonroof in the Reserve 1 is not a miss at all. Some people would rather not have a moonroof.

[@michaelstout7652]

Exactly

[@Ryan2022]

Love this comment I find moonroof almost completely useless, and they have absolutely nothing to do with luxury anymore. Every car has moonroof it’s not a luxury item.

[@JackSmith-qi7dr]

For all the knuckleheads who are aimlessly commenting, we test drove a reserve 3 last week and the screen set up is not distracting and the oval steering wheel is actually quite comfortable. The perfect position seats (not shown in this video) are sublime. The vehicle exceeded our expectations for the exterior, interior and driving experience. I suggest people actually drive the Nautilus before making KZbin judgments.

[@66skate]

You can always count on the KZbin idiots. I love it when they say unreliable and you ask them how. They can't come up with anything and get PO'd because you called them out.

[@Davido50]

Amazing SUV. Best in class powertrain by far. We love our '24 Lincoln Aviator AWD!

[@Davido50]

​@66skate Lincolns are always outstanding. This new '24 Aviator has best in class gen2 3.0L GTDI V6. Love it! 💯

[@sparks5063]

I love that you’re adding reliability to the list! We’ve all been asking for it lol

[@dtay8913]

But reliability is subjective. People swear up and down a dodge will break the moment you drive it off the lot but i have a 2005 magnum that was bought new. 289k miles later and it's been phenomenal.

[@vsavatar]

@@dtay8913 to be fair, a lot of Lincoln's reliability issues come from experimental tech that's in most of their vehicles. Customers get confused and can't figure out how certain features work, so they bring it into the dealer thinking that it's broken. Sometimes the software really is buggy, though, but from what I've heard, the number of tech bugs in this model is either average or slightly above average compared to the industry and mostly relates to the Android Auto interface, which in itself is buggy as hell.

[@J_Starr007]

That interior is fuckin Game-Changer!! Lincoln hit it out the park with this one, I can't see this not doing big numbers. Great Review also Tesla was NOT the 1st to do the digital vent controls, Porsche was.

[@Davido50]

Beautiful SUV. One of best in class by far. Definitely test drive one if shopping this class of luxury SUV. We did & it blew us away. Powertrain is amazing! Gen2 -2.0L GTDI is quick, quiet, smooth & great mpgs.

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

Great review.

[@The-fs5wn]

Saw one two days ago and got in one at an auto show. It’s stunning. It doesn’t feel like a tech demo, it feels like a real high end luxury car, even without the Black Label material upgrades. Can’t say the same of any current Lexus, outside of the LC500.

[@ralph8073]

Awesome looking SUV! Great value at the Reserve 1 hybrid trim level! I sat in one today. I'm 6 foot and the roofline is too low; I have to duck getting in and out. Dead pedal is too small lengthwise for a mens size 11 US.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! We look forward to integrating those new elements across our video lineup!

[@rafi846]

Amazing. I’ve always wanted a 24 inch screen to monitor my tire pressure

[@doug6191]

If not for the troubling reliability record Lincoln established in the last ~10 years, I'd say this is more appealing than the Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, and other models in its class. This is a great package with distinct design elements and competitive performance. Buuuuut...you will be on a first-name basis with Ford Service.

[@faheemabbas3965]

Doesn’t help that this generation of Nautilus is made in China. Looks like Chinese cars are now being sold in the US.

[@rustlesee]

I have only owned Fords. And the worst vehicle I owned, reliability wise, was a 2003 Focus. I’ve never had any issues other than that. Normal and consistent maintenance.

[@christianbryant5617]

Lincoln is a bit more elevated than Lexus, Acura, and INFINITI but still does compete in many aspects🤷‍♂️ I’d compare this to a Volvo, Cadillac, BMW, and others

[@palebeachbum]

Beautiful exterior. I'm blown away by the interior. The shape of the dash reminds me of a modern interpretation of traditional American luxury car dashboards of the past. The squircle steering wheel is so strange, but I'm intrigued. The design of this vehicle makes it look like Lexus isn't even trying.

[@racheli2598]

They aren’t! Lexus cheap these days.

[@Chiroman527]

Looks Awesome ! The ECVT - gives me pause.... Come On Lincoln.... a 10 speed AT was in order here! I would place this on my Mid-Short List of cars to look at in August when my 22 MDX lease comes due. One caution is about the extraordinary new interior - it's Gimicky , Novelties always wear off.

[@josedelarosa6449]

Lincoln should have put manual switches/buttons for some of the accessories, like ac , heat , radio, etc. Otherwise, it's nice.

[@East17A]

thanks for the review but we always have to remember Lexus's strong sales point is not only looks good but drives amazing. it's also engineered reliable unlike Lincoln/Ford the reliability record isn't that great. so I hope Lincoln engineers use some of their conscience when they design their vehicles.

[@Mr21scott]

Anyone that buys a Ford over a Toyota (or over pretty much any other brand, for that matter) is going to get exactly what they deserve.

[@ahmedsyed3436]

8:10 It has a nice door closing sound. You guys should mention this in your reviews.

[@ivanlowjones]

And steal Sofyan's schtick?

[@vsavatar]

I wonder how the sound level reading dealt with the active noise control function. The reason I say this is that ANC or ANR works by adding opposing sound waves so that the ear doesn't hear noise in certain ranges. However, my guess is that it does not affect the absolute number of decibels generated. In which case, the car could be quieter than others with lower decibel ratings, to the human ear, but still have a larger number of decibels. Did it sound to you like it was louder than other mid-size luxury SUVs?

[@antonwoodfork2894]

Another Great Review...Hmmm Do I See A Night Review Soon???

[@tri3pleagent]

Car looks nicely modernized compared to the outgoing model. Interior looks like a great place to ride.

[@GH-cp9wc]

I'm not sure I want to know how much it will cost to repair/replace the gadgets.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

I was really hoping for 35mpg or so, but I guess that is right in between the N/A 2.4l hybrid and the Max 2.4T hybrid engines from Toyota.

[@thomaspalmer6453]

The dash is really nice, and the tech is very impressive, but I don't like how the gauge cluster is so far from the driver. I'd like it closer, like on the RX 350 or the X5. I would also be concerned with potential malfunctions with all that tech. Still, Lincoln did a fabulous job with this update.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is a luxury SUV that offers a smooth and comfortable ride. It features a stylish design, spacious interior, and advanced technology. With its powerful engine options and available all-wheel drive, it provides a great balance of performance and comfort. The Nautilus also comes with various safety features to ensure a safe driving experience. It's definitely worth considering if you're in the market for a luxury SUV. 🚙😊

[@ChazR25]

I like the look. The shape is good, the wheels look good and the front looks great. Lost me at 310hp 4cylinder. For me to buy anything lincoln, it has to outclass the people who really know how to build vehicles(namely Lexus)

[@oldsnwbrdr]

Looks much better than the Lexus RX, inside and out. Beautiful. But how will the Chinese build hold up against Lexus reliability which is a known quantity? And will customers respond well to Lincoln’s avant garde interior vs. Lexus’ more traditional dashboard?

Didn’t expect Lincoln to role out the future but well, here we r!

[@66skate]

I checked one of these out at my dealer last November when they had it for training. I liked it a lot, but at the end of the day, I was put off by the powertrain options and bought a 23 Black Label instead. The 23 with the 2.7 V6 puts out 335HP and really makes it more fun to drive. The tech features were awesome, but I felt the powertrain was more important.

[@williamconrad1087]

ALWAYS watch and enjoy your reviews. Not too gimmicky. I never see reviewers discuss elbow room. How close to a door panel do you sit before banging into it or is there room to spare. Also, if next to a passenger, as in your reviews, can you stretch out a bit, or not. I never know how wide these vehicles are. I have an RX, and you can really stretch out. Any thoughts??? Thank you.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! It depends a lot on how big you are. The two of us can fit comfortably across pretty much any kind of vehicle. The narrowest vehicles are sub-compacts

[@pinoykidstoyschannel4722]
