2024 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid, Step into Elegance, Power

The previous generation Lincoln Nautilus was considered good enough since it had a smooth ride, a good look, and offers a lot of conveniences. It will be challenging for the new Lincoln Nautilus to alter consumers' perceptions of Lincoln and make a splash in a competitive market.

HotCars claims that the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is a midsize SUV that is derived from the MKX. In 2018, Lincoln broke with the "MK" naming convention and revealed the Nautilus in 2019. This crossover appeals to customers looking for a five-passenger SUV.

The latest third-generation iteration enhances upon its predecessor with updated styling, advanced features, and modern technologies, signaling a notable evolution in design and functionality. While earlier versions were produced in Canada and China through a joint venture, subsequent models are exclusively manufactured in China.

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus has increased in size compared to its predecessors, featuring greater dimensions in terms of length, width, height, and a slightly extended wheelbase. This model is offered in three trim levels: Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label.

Additionally, according to HotCars, the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus represents the SUV's second generation. The model underwent a full overhaul for the 2024 iteration, incorporating fresh technology and design elements characteristic of the brand.

Initially launched by Lincoln with a conventional 2.0-liter engine and a hybrid powertrain alternative, the standout feature is the extensive 48-inch digital instrument cluster.

More About Exterior, Interior, Features

As reported by Motor1.com, the Nautilus has consistently maintained an appealing appearance. Upon its introduction in 2019, the Nautilus introduced a sense of rejuvenation to the brand through its gentle contours and luxurious ambiance.

In the 2024 model, the front end exhibits a crisper look, featuring refined, slimmer headlights that intersect a taller, more pronounced grille. The daytime running lights are now presented as a continuous, unbroken strip running across an illuminated Lincoln emblem, exuding a contemporary aesthetic.

However, the interior steals the spotlight. Upon entering, one is greeted with a remarkable introduction thanks to the standard 48.0-inch screen situated on the dashboard. After a flashy "N A U T I L U S" startup sequence, the screen functions as both a gauge cluster and an infotainment center, displaying speed directly in the driver's line of sight, along with features like navigation, media, weather, and fuel economy to the right of the driver.

These elements are organized as customizable widgets that can be placed on the screen based on individual preference.

Motor1.com also shares running platforms like YouTube or Netflix on the screen is not supported for obvious reasons. Additionally, there are no pre-installed games or other practical apps available for use when the vehicle is stationary.

Moving on to the interior, the Black Label-trimmed model tested featured Lincoln's "Chalet" interior theme, showcasing white leather upholstery and metallic brown accents. The plush leather is luxurious to the touch, while the 24-way power-adjustable front seats cater to various body types.

With lumbar support and massage functions, driver fatigue is kept at bay, even after extended periods behind the wheel on a busy day. CarBuzz reports that the Nautilus features striking H2 Pixel headlights that display a sophisticated animation upon approaching the vehicle at night.

The Reserve trim includes an illuminated Lincoln emblem on the grille, while the Black Label version boasts illuminated Lincoln lettering on the liftgate, lighting up in a sequence. An optional $3,000 Jet Appearance Package, available for Reserve and Black Label trims, offers enhancements like 22-inch wheels, black exterior accents, and body-colored wheel arches.

Color options for 2024 comprise complimentary choices of Infinite Black Metallic and Silver Radiance Metallic, along with new colors like Red Carpet, Diamond Red, and Blue Panther priced at $750 each. Additionally, the exclusive Chroma Caviar color option, priced at $2,000, is introduced specifically for the Black Label trim.
