Is the Lincoln Nautilus an Underrated Luxury SUV?

[@TheCallie52809]

I own the 2022 version of this car and it's beautiful. The ride is incredibly smooth and quiet. My only complaint is the camera picture quality.

I believe there is now a recall for camera lens. Mine is terrible on my Continental.

How ironic, bought a 2023 Nautilus for my wife yesterday and it was configured as I had it configured when I ordered then cancelled a 2022 and went with the GV70. She fell in love with the black and tan combo and all the do-dads. So I had to rewatch your video review and it’s spot on…AGAIN. It’s going to be a great comfortable travel vehicle and I think the 2.7 and eight speed transmission are well tuned for each other. But in one day my wife noticed two circular flaws in the sheet metal on the passenger second row door that shown through the metallic paint the size of silver dollars. But the good news is the rattle in plastic on plastic dashboard goes away when she pushes down on the padding underneath the infotainment screen 🤪 My two Genesis GV70 and now my 2023 G80 didn’t have these US built problems but I do have a seatbelt recall on the G80. Just because you spend $65k on cars don’t think you’re not going to have to deal with human error 😢 But I’m rambling, your video is awesome. What do you think of the new design 2024 Nautilus cockpit design? I don’t know…feels like you’re inside a mobile electronic billboard 🤪. No more 2.7 turbo so I got the last one 👍🏼 Started out testing the new Mazda CX90 for her and returned the keys to the GM and told him honestly how disappointed I was especially with my expectations high. I complained that Mazda blew it with the tiny infotainment screen and he defended it that Mazda did that for safety concerns. I laughed and said do you have any idea what you’re competing against? Then I saw the 2024 traveling billboard vs the CX90. I don’t know what’s going on with Mazda but the dealership had two CX90 on the lot and the inside showroom was totally devoid of any product. Scary and sad 😢

I'm really hyped on the new Nautilus. Sure, it's all a bit much, but that's kind of where everyone is headed. I like the design and integration a lot, but I'll reserve judgement until I get to play with one in person. Ditto the CX-90. I've heard some VERY positive things about it, but the infotainment looks like a miss. Still, willing to give it a chance to prove me wrong, of course, since i absolutely love Mazda. I'm rooting for them hard. Thanks for watching and being here!

Awesome review!!!

[@jax1079]

Thanks so much! 🙏🏻

[@vanceforrest4085]

I had a Black Label order and canceled it for a GV70 but I was impressed, just didn’t feel like waiting four months.

Such a good review, you’re spot on. My wife owns a 2021 Aviator and it is tremendous inside and out. Lincoln’s headed in the right direction…

[@jax1079]

Thank you! Hope you continue to enjoy your Aviator. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@Kohbruh]

Thanks for validating my purchase as if I needed it. Good stuff

[@jax1079]

You're quite welcome! Thanks so much for watching, and I hope you enjoy the Nautilus!

[@alaskaaudioguy35]

No heads up display shame

[@Kohbruh]

I agree.

While I am all for appreciating a car for what it is regardless of brand, Lincoln is one of the brands I have a hard time shaking a stigma from. They do look a lot better than they used to, but I still can't see myself getting one.

[@jax1079]

Very true! Lincoln needs to keep up the good work for at least another product generation. They've got to earn their reputation back over time. They're on the right path, though!

[@stanbarmash5414]

Great review.

[@jax1079]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Another great video. Thanks. I assume this is the Lincoln equivalent of the Ford F..., I don't remember now, their SUV that's RWD based. I ask because I couldn't tell if the engine was longitudinal or not with so many wires in the way. Anyway it's a pretty SUV, if you can call any SUV pretty. The 2-tone steering wheel and seat perforation pattern are a little over the top, but I think all four new Lincolns look nice in general. Your advice is spot on though, wait for used. Hard to believe a new one can cost more than a house in some areas.

[@jax1079]

It's the Ford Edge, so a FWD biased AWD system on the Nautilus. Still, that shouldn't put anyone off (it doesn't for Audi), but it's a bit expensive new. Lots to like about it, though, and the interior is pretty fantastic. Thanks for watching!

[@DJL78]

Badge engineering at it’s finest. The interior alone makes Cadillac/Buick/GMC/Chevrolet squeal with pain.

[@jax1079]

This is true. It's amazing how well Ford and Lincoln have begun to differentiate the platforms. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
