The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid Is Highly Improved Luxury SUV With Spot-On Power & Tech

[@vitaminme4203]

I really think this is one of the best looking suvs on the market. Aggressive but elegant.

[@lj5190]

That would be a good marketing name for their current design language. "Aggressive Elegance".

[@paulthoward]

Bought one of these in late February. Had to replace the engine in April (all were recalled for the injector problem that hydro-locked my engine). After that rocky honeymoon I really like this car. It is not a sports car, it is soft but very comfortable. The display is surprisingly useful. Having the primary driving info at the base of the windshield is as good as a heads-up display (I swore I would always have heads-up after my last two cars but this is really as good). Having maps up high and always visible is REALLY good (can you say game changer?). The three display panels on the passenger side are not at all distracting and gives you quick info without having to refocus your eyes. I would like to see more choices for those displays but I cannot say what I would like. At my advanced age I still play in several rock and jazz bands and the space for transporting gear is amazing. I'm pretty sure these all have the door column LED lock-unlock feature, it just wasn't working on this test unit. Stereo = excellent. Acceleration once underway is very good and predictable. On rural two lanes I can pass comfortably. I have always liked and respected Sofyan's commentary and I agree that this is a surprisingly good vehicle.

[@farrellschultz1111]

I've been shopping EVs for a couple of months now and extended out to hybrids and as soon as I saw the Nautilus I feel in love with it. This is a nice vehicle and love the fact that you're giving it such a high endorsement.

[@jayswartzbaugh8553]

Thanks for the excellent review. I’m pleased to hear that the build quality on the Nautilus is so good. My wife is considering purchasing one, and the built in China aspect was concerning, however China also builds much of the tech we use including this iPhone I’m using and it has been remarkably reliable, so that also gives me some confidence that China can build some reliable products.

[@cablebrain9691]

For me, it’s less about quality concerns, and more about contributing in such a large way to a Communist regime. We all have Chinese devices, but this is such a large ticket item that I don’t know if I could look at myself in the mirror if I purchased one of these. Also, the tech is just way overdone, and will likely cost a lot to maintain over time.

Lincoln is one of the fancy cars every made

[@CameronKelson]

We own a 2021 twin turbo V6 Nautilus, and it seriously is such an incredible vehicle. Quiet, elegant, smooth, pretty damn powerful. I actually think the build quality on it is excellent, never had a squeak or rattle in ours. We totally would have been interested in getting this newer model, but one of the reasons I buy Lincolns is to support North American manufacturing, so the fact that it's built in China, even if the build quality is fine, is a deal breaker for me.

[@naveenthemachine]

Yet your phone or laptop or refrigerator are made in China too LOL. So you’re already not supporting American manufacturing

[@beri232]

"North American built" means nothing! Quality is crap in anything North American nowadays. In fact.... all "North American built" seems to mean anymore is paying more for an inferior product.

@@beri232 it's not about the build quality, like I said. It's more about supporting the economy on this side of the ocean.

[@beri232]

@@CameronKelson I tend to buy Japanese but I don’t like the path Lexus and Toyota have gone and I don’t like the rubber band timing belt in the MDX. Mazda is the only Japanese manufacturer left and I don’t really classify them as luxury. I think I will be jumping ship to BMW because I can’t imagine driving anything North American again. Our household has had awful experiences with all of the Big Three!

[@CameronKelson]

@@beri232 Well don't judge any of the brands, Japanese or American, by just one car or one experience. Ford/Lincoln for example has had plenty of stinkers, but many of their cars are very good too. Anecdotes don't really mean much, but for what it's worth I've personally owned 5 Fords and the 1 Lincoln and haven't had to do a repair yet, they've been totally trouble free. But I also know what to look out for and which years to avoid. But good luck finding something you like. The new BMWs, especially the plug in hybrids, are pretty damn nice

[@valhalla8140]

i love that this vehicle has no hybrid badges

[@Ryan2022]

That’s one reason I’m considering it I don’t consider hybrid a virtual signal or any higher morality because you chose a car with some dumb electric motor in it I’ll buy it because it has more mileage because of some stupid badge or pretending to save the earth which doesn’t doesn’t need saving

This is an awesome SUV for non-enthusiasts who value style, luxury, and tech over all else. I personally would find it hard to justify especially given the significantly improved performance offered at a similar price by its competitors though.

[@hellkitty1014]

$72K...??? Excuse, moi!? And that's with the Aviator and Navigator north of this? Anddd...this isn't even the Black Label? Definitely deep into Acura MDX Type-S, BMW X5, and MB GLE territory. The screen isn't worth it...

[@ph00ny1]

It can actually hit 80k with certain trim/options. It's insane

[@yejoonyang9552]

Most of the equipment is standard on the 56k model including the hybrid power train being available on the base trim. You'll def get better value in lower trims.

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

cheaply built in china, 4 cylinder but insane prices lol

[@craigd10]

72k is for a fully loaded reserve - base price is in the low to mid 50s. MDX is nowhere near as nice inside - it's Honda plus. X5 and GLE shoot well past the 70s when comparably equipped. And none of those competitors have the self driving capability of Nautilus. Lastly, wait until you see the maintenance bills for the Germans before you do the true cost of ownership comparison - ask me how I know as a former Audi owner.

[@hellkitty1014]

@craigd10 I agree this looks better than an MDX, interior wise...mostly. The piano-bpack door panels on the Lincoln are just as much a travesty as the piano black on the dash of the MDX. Yes, the Germans will have some degree of higher maintenance down the line, but Lincolns aren't known for high reliability. And in the case if BMW, maintenance is covered completely for the first 3yrs. The Lincoln will also drop like a rock in resale value against its $72K as well.

Seems 2012-2015 Honda Civics had a more than reasonable idea about where gauges are located. I never understood why car companies made it to where you had to look through a steering wheel to see your gauges. Having them in a location on the dash, like this car, is far better and your eyes don't have to move near as much. Unfortunately, I'll never be able to afford a vehicle of this price. I'll just keep my 2014 Civic going as long as I can.

I like the exterior styling, but for roughly the same price I would go with the BMW X5 xDrive50e, which is much more powerful (2 full seconds faster to 60), and still gets better MPG. I've test driven the X5 base model, and it was night and day better than our top of the line Jeep Grand Cherokee (Overland Summit version).

[@craigd10]

For starters, you aren't getting the xDrive50e comparably equipped for roughly the same price. It starts at over 73k stripped. Option it out the same and you'll be in the mid 80s. For example, want a light up grill that's standard on Nautilus reserve? That'll be an extra $850 on the X5. Want self driving capability? Another $2100. Massaging seats - $750. Also, the 50e is a plug in hybrid. Once the battery is depleted, you're down to 26 mpg. Nautilus will give you 30 mpg for it's entire 600 mile range. So, X5 isn't quite the deal you think it is.

[@donwilber1628]

@@craigd10 Oh really? You don’t need the towing package (standard on the BMW), or the many other options on the Ford? As for your range/MPG example, how often do you go more than 40 miles in a day.

60s era? What are you talking about? I traded in my 2021 Nautilus, and the seats are MORE comfortable in the 2024, and the engine is more powerful. The interior quality is excellent.

It doesn’t smell like a cheap Ford vehicle…

[@Uche_Okeke]

This steering should be regarded as the worst any car should have. Leave the steering wheel traditional please. It feels awkward driving with such a steering wheel.

[@roxstix]

Looks nice. "$72k" - eh, no made in CCP China - "walks away"

[@jbk9913]

Nice

Needs a new key fob

[@odarihendrickson5594]

But why build it in China? Pay American wages for luxury products. I have owned 5 navigators and am looking forward to the 2025 year model, but not if it is built in China. How can this be built in China but still cost more? Make it make sense.

[@jarredm.550]

$25k over priced in my opinion! Not to mention you have to pay monthly for blue cruise ! 😂

[@jockboy]

No you don't. I get 4 years free with the Reserve package 2.

Love that screen! However, I don't love the turbo 4-banger, the CVT, the idea of a hybrid, the fact that it is running Sync 4, or that it is assembled in China. The price is hard to swallow, but that's probably par for the course in the luxury segment. The full-width screen looks amazing, in that it's useful without being distracting, while also being able to be turned off by those that don't want the extra clutter. I question if the maps are large enough when displayed to be as useful as vehicles with larger screens to display them. With Ford moving to the Android Automotive/Google platform, I wonder if this implementation will be orphaned software-wise. All that screen real estate will undoubtedly go through some development pains, and I'd be concerned about Ford giving up on it before those wrinkles are ironed out. Seeing that screen implementation makes me think Ford should have used it in the Mustang Mach-E. Since you had a Mach-E, what do you think? I disagree with you being happy that it's not available as an EV. They should have offered it as a full EV, perhaps in addition to a hybrid, and let the market decide. A four-cylinder in this size vehicle is underpowered, so the hybrid is a necessity to get it going decently, but now you have the complexity and maintenance of both an EV and ICE powertrain. Too much work, but I guess not an issue for those that only lease vehicles. Hopefully the platform can take a full EV powertrain in a few years when this hybrid fad wears out. It just seems wrong to buy a car from an American company and have it shipped from Asia. How in the world can that be cheaper than making it here? With the shipping back and forth of parts and the finished product, I can only imagine what the carbon footprint is, which completely negates any benefit to be had from the better gas mileage. Can't wait to see what Ford can do when it fully embraces the future instead of holding on too tightly to the past!

[@MyMovie5858]

At over $70k for a 4-cylinder hybrid, why not just get an EV such as the Cadillac Lyriq? Lyriq offers a similar level of room and luxury while improving acceleration, NVH, and efficiency. I know EV is not for everyone, and its range cannot touch Nautilus' 600miles, but for those who can accept EV's deficiencies, you can easily save tens and thousands of $$$.

I just picked up my Reserve 2 hybrid with upgraded wheels for $64,970. With discounts and rebates, I paid $58,970k before taxes

[@728GT]

That price is nucking futs but damn thats a nice looking Ford.

[@jeepguy95]

Looks great, but I'm a bit skeptical about it being made in China. I'd probably go with an Aviator or upgrade to a Navigator if I were looking.

[@MagiRaz]

Pretty, but too expensive for what it offers and electric steering is an instant fail.

[@durapoker]

Looks great but i do hate how far the screen is from the driver. The layout is weird.

[@rudfil]

There’s a good reason why all your neighbours are driving Japanese and European luxury SUVs.

[@akusitaaiai2215]

I better buy used Model X plaid 2022-2023 from Tesla website 😂
