The Lincoln Nautilus went through a massive glow-up for 2024, so there’s not a whole lot of change for 2025, but that's not a bad thing. Lincoln already nailed the redesign, and this five-passenger SUV keeps its spot as one of the more luxurious, comfortable, and tech-forward midsize SUVs out there. Is it the best midsize SUV for comfort and tech? Let's break down its details.
Key Takeaways
- Most changes were made for 2024, so 2025 carries over with minor updates.
- Powertrains include a turbocharged 2.0L inline-four and an optional hybrid setup.
- BlueCruise hands-free driving is now standard across all trims.
What Changes Has Lincoln Made for 2025?
Not much, and that’s fine. The 2024 redesign was a total overhaul, so Lincoln kept things mostly the same this year. That said, there are a few updates worth mentioning.
- The BlueCruise hands-free driving system is now standard on all trims and includes a four-year trial subscription, which is a big step up in the tech department. (It’s Lincoln’s answer to Cadillac’s Super Cruise or Tesla’s Autopilot.)
- Lincoln Rejuvenate, the brand’s new multi-sensory relaxation program, is now available as an option. More on that below.
- Color-wise, Whisper Blue Metallic replaces the outgoing Blue Panther paint, and a new Light/Dark Smoked Truffle interior theme can be paired with the optional Jet Appearance Package.
The Nautilus' base powertrain is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, putting out 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Fuel economy checks in at 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.
If you want more power and efficiency, there’s also an optional hybrid setup that pairs a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor. That combo bumps total output to 310 horsepower and swaps in a CVT (continuously variable transmission), also with all-wheel drive.
The Nautilus' Tasteful, Discerning Interior
Lincoln completely overhauled the Nautilus interior last year, and it carries over with all that 2024 goodness intact. There’s ambient lighting, more leather, and an upgraded control layout anchored by a huge 48.0-inch display area that stretches across the dash. In the middle, you’ve got an 11.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, plus digital controls for media, navigation, and phone connectivity.
Optional this year is the Lincoln Rejuvenate feature, a spa-like system that lets you customize your lighting, seat position, and massage settings, and even screen visuals to help you relax. You can go all in with scent cartridges too: patchouli, cashmere, and fresh linen.
There’s more legroom for all passengers, though cargo space dips just slightly this year. You still get a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, 10-way heated and ventilated front seats, and remote keyless entry as standard.
You can dress up the interior even more with optional packages that add copper-colored stitching and aluminum appliques, and if you go all the way up to Black Label, you get a redwood forest-themed interior that’s exclusive to that trim.
Tech Features Are Tops in the Lincoln Nautilus
Lincoln didn’t skimp on tech. The 48-inch display setup looks impressive and works just as well. You get wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa voice assistant is baked in too. It’s easy to use, quick to respond, and doesn’t overcomplicate things.
The 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system delivers the goods for audiophiles. You can also upgrade to 24-way power-adjustable seats for that perfect just-right driving position.
