Lincoln’s Nautilus midsize luxury SUV has undergone a significant makeover for the year 2024, promising an even more luxurious and sophisticated driving experience. The latest iteration of the Nautilus introduces a hybrid model alongside a groundbreaking 48-inch-wide customizable display that spans the entire width of the dashboard, setting a new standard for in-car technology.
Retaining its hallmark features such as the sumptuous Black Label trim models, lavish 24-way power seats, and immersive 28-speaker Revel audio system, the Nautilus ensures a premium driving experience. Furthermore, all-wheel drive comes standard, enhancing the SUV’s performance and handling capabilities across various terrains.
A recent test drive of the Nautilus Reserve hybrid showcased its seamless integration of comfort and functionality. Despite encountering a minor glitch related to cold brakes affecting braking consistency early in the drive, the overall experience remained quiet, comfortable, and user-friendly, even amidst the diverse terrain of the Mojave desert and hills.
Expanded Dimensions and Enhanced Efficiency
The 2024 Nautilus boasts an array of upgrades, including increased dimensions for a more spacious interior. With a lengthened body by 3.2 inches and an extended wheelbase by 2 inches, passengers enjoy enhanced comfort, particularly in the back seat. Additionally, a higher roof and wider body contribute to a more expansive cabin feel.
While cargo room behind the rear seat has seen a slight decrease, the SUV maintains its versatility for everyday use. Towing capacity, albeit marginally reduced to 1,750 pounds with the optional trailering package, ensures sufficient capability for hauling needs.
Under the hood, Lincoln introduces a turbocharged 2.0L hybrid engine paired with a continuously variable transmission, replacing the previous V6 engine. Despite delivering slightly less power than its predecessor, the hybrid model significantly improves fuel efficiency, boasting a combined city/highway rating of 30 mpg. This translates to substantial annual savings for drivers, making the Nautilus a compelling choice in the luxury SUV segment.
Pricing and Availability
As Lincoln elevates the Nautilus’s luxury and efficiency, the SUV’s pricing reflects its enhanced features and capabilities. With base prices ranging from $50,415 for the Premiere trim to $74,250 for the Black Label edition, the 2024 Nautilus offers competitive pricing compared to its rivals in the market.
Available at dealerships now, the revamped Nautilus presents a compelling option for luxury SUV enthusiasts seeking a blend of opulence, technology, and efficiency. From its expansive full-width instrument display to advanced features like wireless Apple CarPlay, Google voice recognition, and Blue Cruise hands-free highway driving, the 2024 Nautilus embodies Lincoln’s commitment to delivering unparalleled driving experiences for discerning customers.
