The Lincoln Nautilus is MotorTrend's 2025 SUV of the Year! | MotorTrend

[@albeezie12]

I’m very pleased with my 2024 Nautilus!

[@jonesjonz1]

A Nautilus S with over 400hp would be a great next step. We'll done Lincoln finally an interior worthy of the price. Much better than the Germans, British, Japanese & Koreans. Congrats

[@BrooklynBound4]

Is this the first Chinese made vehicle awarded the golden caliper?

[@GLsJAwtomatica]

Made in China but designed in the US

[@kevinyoungM14EBR]

Maybe start a used CAR, SUV and TRUCK of the YEAR for vehicles that are at least 5 years old.

[@ontheaaron]

Something that people can actually afford I've only seen 1 Lucid Air since 2022

[@ATStone]

Interesting. Your own review says that "Rivals feel more luxurious." And you also say that its not a performance or numbers SUV. So what is it good at?

[@BuildTheWallUSA]

The Chinese government has deep pockets

[@tres311]

What was so Great?! The Check Ford Motor Company cut motor trend

[@mred9161]

Paying motortrend advertising money 😂

[@peteharris556]

99% of the haters on this page have never seen it, sat in it, researched it, etc. This car has earned all the positive press that it gets

[@MisterMonsieur]

I've seen and sat in plenty of Ford's to know how they cut corners under the hood and how they depreciate. At these prices, I'm staying with Porsche and getting the luxury AND performance AND prestige that the Lincoln doesn't.

Am I the only one who noticed the fit between the doors and fenders?🤔

[@BuildTheWallUSA]

Chinese cars be like that

[@GetOffMyyLawn]

$65,000 is not a "decently affordable" price for a 4 cylinder 2 row suv. It doesn't have good performance, it doesn't have good handling, but it is SUV of the year?

[@AutoSonic495]

so, there's a bit of a misconception there, the model spec in specific they mentioned may be 65k, but as far as if it were optioned out fully factory, it'd be 51k, which is a lot more "decently affordable", the hybrid being i think an extra few grand making it at least 54k and they also said the 65k one is Decently affordable because it's almost 15k cheaper than the 80k black label, yet it gives you a lot of what that has, which is stupidly expensive.

[@413x398]

Well, it was one 5.0 engine away from getting me interested, until I found out it is made in China. No way, Jose! Um, what is Jose in Chinese?

[@MichaelKnight-sw123]

Most folks are working from home or using public transportation for commuting to work. This vehicle is too expensive

I'm guessing it's because it's only good for one year, then you trade it in 😂

Thank You. The Wife has run up the mileage on our current SUV and its time to start studies and looking for another. She saw one of these on the road and made it a point to tell me and that she admired it.

[@JSmooVE3990]

It's a nice car but SUV of the year? Didn't a bunch of new Rivians come out? Land Rover OCTA a raptor version of the land rover. Ferrari put out the Purosangue.

[@AutoSonic495]

i don't think the Purosangue is an anywhere between 50k to 150k vehicle, now i do agree they should've put the newer Rivians and the new Land Rover OCTA, but then again all depends on availability at least for if they can get those cars to review in that timeframe, or if they're in production yet which they are im sure

[@henwy3737]

⁠​⁠@@MisterMonsieuryou should do yours. The Macan at 63k is bare bones, everything is extra with Porsche, you add comparable features that you’re getting with a 55k reserve Nautilus to a Macan and you’re probably at 75k. But regardless the Macan is not a comp for the Nautilus, more like the Corsair. It’s a much smaller car. The Cayenne is about the same size as the Nautilus, and there you start at about 87k.

Should be illegal

[@dauntae24]

Because Americans want $25 an hour for unskilled labor.

@@Kahless00 you only have to lower costs if you aren't innovating. I love the free market it has lifted billions of people out of poverty across the globe.

The 2.0 turbo is the same engine in my Ford Edge, very underpowered for the vehicle. This needs the V6 to be relevant like they used to have.
