Introduction
The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus is a 2-row luxury SUV that combines innovative technology with exceptional comfort. After its complete redesign in 2024, the 2025 model maintains the same impressive features with new exterior color options.
Exterior
The Nautilus boasts a sleek design with LED head and taillights, a beautiful gloss black grill with LED running lights, and an illuminated Lincoln emblem. The 22″ wheels and electric door handles integrated into the window frames add to its premium appearance. The White Platinum Metallic color, paired with a black roof and trim, gives it a sophisticated look, especially with the optional Jet Appearance package.
Performance
The review vehicle featured a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. While a hybrid version is available, offering 310 horsepower and better fuel economy, it comes with a continuously variable transmission and an additional $1,500 price tag.
Interior
The interior of the Nautilus is exceptionally luxurious, with contoured and bolstered front seats that are 24-way adjustable and feature massage functionality. The cabin is equipped with a massive 48″ curved screen that spans the width of the dashboard, configurable from a smaller 11.1″ screen above the center stack. The Revel Ultima 3D audio system with 28 speakers provides an immersive sound experience.
Technology Features
- The 11″ screen controls audio, navigation, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and climate controls.
- Digital Scent system with replaceable scents
- 360-degree camera system with superb clarity
- Multiple drive modes including Excite, Normal, Conserve, Slippery, and Deep Conditions
Utility and Safety
The Nautilus offers 36.4 cubic-feet of cargo space behind the second-row seat, expanding significantly when the seats are folded. Standard Lincoln safety features include blind spot warning, cross-traffic alert, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking. The vehicle also comes with Blue Cruise, Ford’s semi-self-driving system.
Verdict
With an MSRP of $70,810 as equipped, the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus is positioned at the higher end of the luxury SUV market. It excels in comfort, technology, and appearance, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a premium driving experience. The ride is smooth, acceleration is satisfactory, and the interior is remarkably quiet.
