We compare: 2025 Lincoln Nautilus and 2025 Genesis GV80.
One of the main size differences between the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus and the 2025 Genesis GV80 is that the Lincoln is wider and taller. The body design of the Lincoln Nautilus is engineered for better handling, offering a smooth ride with bumper-to-bumper comfort and technology to enhance every ride. More width and height in the Lincoln mean more space inside the luxury cabin for up to five passengers and more room in the rear for your bags, groceries, luggage, and more. However, the Genesis GV80 offers two- and three-row options, which can seat up to seven passengers.
The Lincoln Nautilus and the Genesis GV80 offer luxury features like leather heated seats, mood-enhancing modes, and options that turn your SUV into a spa-like driving experience. The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus includes Auto Air Refresh and Digital Scent Modes, which you can select and refill, along with the optional Lincoln Rejuvenate Mode and Perfect Position seats with 24-way power adjustment, including power thigh extenders similar to those in spas, along with Active Motion Massage Functionality.
If power is your priority, then it’s a close race between these two mid-size luxury SUVs, with the Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid trims with the 2.0L Inline-4 HEV powertrain producing slightly more horsepower than the 2.5L Inline-4 Turbo engine in every 2025 Genesis GV80 trim.
Does the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus need premium gas?
Lincoln requires that all its luxury SUVs, including the 2025 Nautilus, use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. However, it is strongly recommended to fill your 2025 Lincoln Nautilus with premium gas rated at 91 or higher. Using high-octane premium fuel helps ensure optimal performance and extends the life of your engine and moving parts.
You’ll want to keep your 2025 Lincoln Nautilus running smoothly to maintain or even improve its expected EPA fuel economy. Compared to the 2025 Genesis GV80, the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus offers better gas mileage. With the 2.0L I-4 engine, the Lincoln Nautilus achieves 29 MPG on the highway. If you choose the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid trims, you’ll get over 30 MPG in the city and on the highway, with a driving range of 600 miles. The Lincoln Nautilus HEV trims save you money compared to spending it at the gas pump.
