Lincoln needs a strong marketing team.

I’m the pilot you met in LaGuardia with the 2024 Nautilus in PA. Been waiting for this video… so glad you loved it! I still wake up everyday excited to drive it and man I’ve never gotten so many compliments and looks from other people in a vehicle before. Bravo Lincoln.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

It was great meeting you man, thanks for saying hi! I'm glad you liked the video and I hope you continue to enjoy your Nautilus for a long time!

[@richardrobbins4757]

I bought mine 3 weeks ago. I cannot over emphasize how much you get for your money. It’s in a league of its own. Nothing compares.

[@FR8Productions]

great review! Your videos are so well thought out and filled with all the details and tiny touches that others fail to show. Quality film and voice over work. Great review

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

[@GothRocker7]

Matt, I am sure I am the only one that is actually looking forward to this review. I love my fun Japanese cars, but love my large American Lincoln Continental. Lincoln since the about 2016 really started making huge improvements. I love my 2017 Continental, it has been great. I test drove this new Nautilus when I went to the dealership and had my Continental get it's yearly PA state inspection and oil change in July. These are very impressive, I rather see sedans like my Continental on the road but, this is good looking for a SUV and rides really well. The interior so well laid out and well put together. The large 48 inch dash display you can turn off a large portion of it so doesn't bother me at all when driving. I think these will sell well. Matt, I agree I am happy Lincoln focused on luxury and comfort, not everything should be a sports car, that is again why I love my Continental. Hats off to Lincoln, I just wish they would bring back a large sleek comfy sedan like my Continental. Maybe one day. I will be keeping my Continental forever, still the best riding car I have ever owned and so well done inside and out, sleek, great design.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for your comment Rich, I'm glad you liked the review and I'm glad you enjoyed your test drive as well! I'll keep hoping for a Continental return too!

[@roblehnhoff9630]

Great review Matt. I cross shopped this with the Lexus RX and felt the Lincoln was more upscale and impressive. I ended up ordering a 2025 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve 3 just like you tested. Now, I’m just waiting for it to arrive towards the end of the year.

[@cornbread70s4]

Great review Matt! Love the style of this vehicle, inside and out.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks, glad you liked the video!

[@MNeuenswander]

An SUV that was not on my radar. Thanks for the review!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for watching!

[@ogleolen]

Beautiful car and great review! I'm really looking forward to getting mine!!

[@michaelcloresandersm.d.7050]

This was a wonderful video! I have been considering a BMW X5, Mercedes GLE 450 and Volvo XC90. I have not owned a Ford product for 50 years and was not looking at Lincoln. You have expended my search. Thank you so much.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I'm glad the video was helpful to you, thank you for the comment and good luck in your car shopping!

[@c.a.r.s.carsandrelevantspecs]

It would be interesting to see if Ford ever puts this 310 hp hybrid powertrain in the Maverick -- perhaps a new ST or a higher powered Lobo version. Thanks for this review!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

That would be awesome. Thanks for watching!

[@MegaRetr]

Hey Matt awesome video 😊 love it

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks!

[@im_an_alvani]

Really nicely thought out vehicle! Everything seems well done without being taken to the extreme, which is honestly a real treat these days.

[@sgonzales1973]

Just bought one yesterday. Beautiful car, fun to drive. Over 300 hp from the 2.0 turbo hybrid. Definitely liked it better than the RX350.

[@AutoEnthusiastJC]

I agree with you regarding the exterior styling.

[@CaptDnaDonut]

I have Blue Cruise 1.3 on my Mustang Mach-E and its actually a pretty big improvement. Auto lane change works really well and it actually does stay in the hands free mode more often than it used to. But the biggest thing is the system moving the car away from big trucks. That was the biggest reason I would have my hand on the wheel during hands-free driving. Slowing down for corners is nice but I think it accelerates out of the corner a little too aggresively but I'm always in Unbridled mode so its likely better in other modes.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Nice, I haven't tried it yet in ours, I don't even know if we ever got the update.

[@micahstory]

Great review Matt! I’m more of a sporty SUV kinda guy, but this is a great looking design and looks really comfy.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks Micah, I'm glad you liked the video!

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Amazing video Matt.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks!

[@lyndahammel9502]

Lol, I can remember when steering wheels were just steering wheels with nothing extra. This looks like a really nice vehicle.

[@asmcdon1]

at the auto show, i saw this and was very surprised by it. very appealing

[@Angryeddie14]

I like the wheels, they look huge!

[@twotrackjack2260]

Nice review Matt, by the sounds of your experience this really isnt just another dressed up Ford like so many previous offerings from Lincoln. If it really is as good as you indicate and is successful, its going to cause a lot of uncomfortable conversations in a buch of corporate boardrooms 😅

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Yeah I think its success may take some competitors by surprise.

[@Ixnay937]

Great review, Matt! I've enjoyed 100,000 trouble-free miles on my 2nd Ford Edge and if I could afford this Nautilus I would certainly buy it!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video!

[@MrCaveman74]

Love the review. The first couple of mentions of "floaty" sounded good, but after so many mentions it starts to make me nervous. LOL!!

[@Ryan2022]

These reviewers don’t even know what floaty is.

[@timothybracken1728]

Wow the ride is amazing, interesting review Matt, you did a great job!! what about the corsair? would it have the similar ride or no

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I haven't tried the Corsair but typically smaller vehicles don't feel as soft as the bigger stuff, at least when it comes to luxury brands.

[@RG-lj2og]

I love it!! Can't to buy a used one next year.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Good job & I would loved to own this vehicle.

[@Michael-lz3bk]

Great looking suv as a Lincoln owner I would like to trade mine for one of these

[@nomercymayhem]

Just a note on your comment about Hybrid's and CVTs. While there are many manufacturers who use traditional CVTs, Toyota uses "eCVT" transmission in most of their Hybrids (with the exception of some of their newer hybrid offerings on some of their trucks), which is a terrible name since it's not like a traditional CVT at all. It basically acts like a reverse differential and has very few moving parts even in comparison to a manual transmission. I say all of this to say that not all CVTs are created equal, since the mere mention of CVTs in general can make people think lesser of a vehicle.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Totally agree and yeah fair point, a lot of people think of the miserable CVTs of the past and don't realize this is a totally different thing.

[@yanal0611]

Matt Maran is a Lana Del Ray fan, confirmed. 👍🏽

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha definitely! I've been a big fan of her ever since Born to Die in 2012.

[@DD-dj4jr]

Can the Lincoln brand carry this well styled premium mid-size SUV? Great test of brand equity as the product looks fantastic.

[@turdferguson2839]

The Nautilus looks amazing inside and out and it has a lot more details and features than the Lexus and Genesis, the exterior details of the Nautilus alone is worth the extra 5k compared to the lexus. Lincoln doesnt get enough credit.

[@venussavage]

Higher quality chassis make OK tires work a lot better. Converse also true. Gussied up bronco sport platform

[@Ryan2022]

Bizarre comment

[@Natethegreat200c]

Matt im so so so happy you spent as much time as you did on suspension ! I search this and the Buick envision ALL THE TIME for ONLY the ride segments and they all suck. Very short , very brief. This video was a 10/10. I’m shocked your tester wasn’t filled with squeaks and rattles. Most others reported that.

[@Natethegreat200c]

Only thing I would say next time if you ever review this car again, for me please please please,show it actually driving over some bumps. I’m dying to see that!!!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I'm glad you liked it! In some of the exterior rolling shots you can see it go over a couple bumps, it handled most of them pretty well in my opinion.

[@Natethegreat200c]

@@MattMaranMotoring I watched while doing stuff around the house, I’ll definitely watch later today when I get home!

[@jazzbeau507]

GV80, I think I prefer the GV80, including the GV80 interior.

[@MrCaveman74]

All the Genesis vehicles are impressive. Is the GV80 in this same class/price range? I thought the GV80 was bigger.

[@Natethegreat200c]

I say forgo the Mercedes for your next car(I know Beth said she really would like to get back into one before) and look at this! If she’s okay with the transmission tuning of course lol. Not sure if you guys said she’d be electric from here on out, but if not I would definitely put this up there on the list!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I wouldn't be opposed to that, but these are way out of our price range and Beth and I want to stay with an EV anyway, it's a much easier ownership experience for how little driving we do with her car.

[@TruthFLA]

I'll check it out after that have recalled it and its sitting on clearance. This will not do numbers.

[@m417k]

Do you wish it had a heads up display?

[@KuyaArbee]

I hope its reliable.... prob at best a lease machine

[@jbraunger]

Good at stoplights Not so good on curvy road I drove the Ford Edge for days through mountain roads and was miserable. I believe this may be the same platform.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

The old Nautilus shared a platform with the Edge, this new one is completely different and isn't shared with anything else in North America.

[@jbraunger]

Good to hear! Thank you for the reply

[@timothybracken1728]

Do u find the steering wheel to be an odd shape?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

It didn't bother me really.

[@bryantcurtis2573]

I would get an Aviator instead solely because of the fewer screens!

[@PCConditioning]

Can you imagine the amount of dust that the FOUR FEET of screen will collect?! It'd prob drive me crazy. haha :-)

[@Ryan2022]

Use a swiffer on it

[@re1080]

If your using Waze it doesn’t move to the top screen it stays on the 11inch screen

[@gene978]

Why did you keep saying Cadillac, and not GM Super Cruise? Confusing people that only Caddy has it. I wish this had Super Cruise that would be my perfect cruiser.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I mention Cadillac because they're the competitor to the Lincoln.

[@GiganticRooster-kn2lj]

You can do the oscillating vents, so you dont have to find the perfect setting

[@Ryan2022]

I’m tired of passengers in my car, closing the vents on their side and messing with the directions so this is a welcome change

[@scottbrawley407]

2024 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid Reserve Jet Appearance Package!

[@TheKingxj]

85k CAD for cvt 2.0L 👎🏾 This needs the V6 400hp option on Black Labels. I agree it has best interior/amenities in its class "massage seat are top tier" 👍🏾

[@yejoonyang9552]

Not a cvt its an eCVT, comepletley different type of transmission. Hybrid option also gives the 2.0L a bigger turbo along with the electric drive system.

[@jazzbeau507]

18:32....feels like the engine is on 'another planet.' I'm tempted to ask you if the car should be re-named "Extraterrestrial."

[@telliesmith9825]

So they went back to there roots with the ride float like a boat

[@Ryan2022]

Not even close. He’s too young to know when cars were floaty for real.

[@nintendoatarikiller]

A Chinese-built 2000cc four popper yoked to a CVT. This is a glorified rickshaw lmao. Interior is on point though and so is the price.

[@2006gtobob]

Fairly soon, putting a vehicle into gear will be a subscription service. Don't make a payment, and the vehicle will stay in Park. And, with that, along with Lexus making remote start a subscription service, they can all go to he--.

[@twotrackjack2260]

That would just be redundant, considering ignition interrupt devices already exist for that purpose, and are installed on vehicles sold by certain used car companies.

[@nberkel]

Seems fair to me. You don't make a payment, you don't get to drive your car...

[@2006gtobob]

@@nberkel not after the car is paid for

[@nberkel]

Why are you making payments on a car that is paid for? 🤣

[@jonathonpineiro4871]

“Hey everybody! Subaruwrxfan here” 😢

[@MCoupeMike]

At the beginning I really liked this car, but then….. Big useless ugly screen of a dashboard = yuck CVT transmission = hate it Subscription for Blue Cruise = I’m not paying a subscription for a feature I already bought. Beautiful car, but Lincoln lost their way with this one.

[@yejoonyang9552]

Can't say anything about the screen but the the transmission isn't a CVT, it is a eCVT which isn't belt driven and doesn't come with the reliability problems of a CVT.

[@Ryan2022]

You get 4 years of blue cruise included

[@timothyboyd4130]

Lincoln needs it own engine that is more powerful than ford since it's the upper echelon part of the company

[@eddieg6436]

You are comparing with rolls-Royce many times 😀. Then the price is far low.

[@LetMeCook86]

What a rip off! You can get a Yukon for about $6K more.$75K no rear vented seats! 😂

[@Ryan2022]

Who cares about vented rear seats ?

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

That dash board is the worst of any car. So much screen and yet it's nearly all completely useless.
