The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus's complete redesign is a sign of a new era for Lincoln's mid-size SUV.Among these is the Nautilus Hybrid, which is the brand's first attempt to electrify this market. With the Nautilus Hybrid, Lincoln continues to emphasize its hallmark smooth, quiet luxury experience in spite of these significant alterations. The company is introducing an extended Digital Scent collection, offering a total of seven thoughtfully chosen aromas for in-cabin enjoyment, in connection with the launch of the all-new 2024 Lincoln Nautilus.

Customizable Fragrance System

HotCars highlights Lincoln's dedication to enhancing the sensory experience within the all-new 2024 Nautilus SUV, accentuating the significance of scent and well-being. The Nautilus' innovative Digital Scent feature utilizes special cartridges to disperse fragrances independently from the HVAC system, providing users with control options for a personalized in-cabin ambiance.

With a selection of seven fragrances to choose from, including the enticing Cloud Balsam and Twilight Embers, customers can tailor their driving environment to suit their preferences. As Lincoln prepares to introduce the completely redesigned Nautilus, it remains committed to delivering a sanctuary for the senses, offering a range of curated fragrances through the customizable fragrance system to elevate the overall driving experience.

Lincoln acknowledges the profound impact of the senses on mood and overall well-being, with a particular emphasis on the significance of the sense of smell due to its strong ties to memory and emotion. Recognizing the potential for a delightful interior aroma to enhance the overall experience, Lincoln collaborated with fragrance suppliers to incorporate International Fragrance Association (IFRA)-certified fragrances into the cabin of the Nautilus through the innovative Lincoln Digital Scent feature.

This system, accessible via the vehicle's center stack touchscreen, allows for the controlled dispersal of in-cabin scents, each offering a unique blend of fragrances. Initially offering three scents, the collection has now expanded to include seven carefully curated fragrances, further enriching the sensory journey for Nautilus occupants.

According to Lincoln Media Center, those who choose to activate the upgraded Lincoln Digital Scent feature in their new Nautilus will be presented with a choice of three different in-cabin fragrances, each of which offers a distinctive blend intended to produce a customized aroma experience. These include the earthy blend of Mystic Forest, the crisp fusion of Ozonic Azure, and the harmonious blend of Violet Cashmere. Additionally, the collection now includes four new available scents: the invigorating Cloud Balsam, the radiant Serene Seashore, and the enchanting Twilight Embers.
