A quiet revolution of new comfort, technology and style

The Lincoln Nautilus takes the age-old driving experience and reimagines much of it. It presents the driver and passengers with new ways and technologies to communicate with the vehicle and to navigate the road ahead. It offers sophisticated and modern advances in cabin comfort. And it does this all in a fresh, state-of-the-art package with a rewarding powertrain.

Lincoln’s approach to the Nautilus advances the notion of connectivity and sanctuary. The vehicle’s driver and passengers are treated to a wholly modern and clean cabin. Thoughtfully crafted from world-class materials, the interior’s design is balanced and uses horizontal lines for a calming effect. The minimalist approach, devoid of any unnecessary buttons and switches, allows for focus on the things that matter—such as an illuminated, crystal volume power knob.

 

The first thing anyone and everyone notices is the digital experience which is delivered primarily by the panoramic wraparound display. Reaching from one side of the dash to the other, it is the largest in its class. Its gorgeous screens present a seamless and engaging interface with fully customizable and personalized content chosen by the driver. Working in concert with the 11-inch Centre Stack Touchscreen, this massive display brings all of the Nautilus’ technology and connectivity to the forefront, including the staggering 28-speaker Revel Ultima audio system.

Comfort is also reconceptualized here. The seats are heated, ventilated and have ActiveMotion massaging which melts away stress and physical strain during the drive, whether it is a short commute or a long road trip. Upholstered in premium perforated leather, the Perfect Position seats offer the first row 24 ways to adjust everything, right down to the thigh bolsters.

Care is also given to second-row passengers with heated rear seats and plenty of device charging connections readily available. Passengers enjoy top-notch surroundings from a seat that is among the most spacious in its category. The Vista panoramic roof overhead welcomes in light, making the space noticeably airy. The experience is further enhanced by Lincoln’s Digital Scents. With a quick tap of the display, you can choose from a variety of uniquely curated cabin fragrances, evoking a number of different environments.

The drive in the Nautilus is always comfortable, serene and quiet, but with plenty of efficient power on tap from the 310-horsepower hybrid powertrain. The driver can select from a number of drive modes, each tailored to a different driving scenario and adjusting everything from throttle and steering response to the adaptive suspension. 

A highly advanced system called BlueCruise 1.2 allows the driver to operate the Nautilus hands-free, while keeping their eyes on the road of over 200,000 kilometres of mapped North American roads. The technology includes Lane Change Assist and In-Lane Positioning to ensure everyone’s safety.

When it comes to the exterior styling, Lincoln married clean elegant lines with an athletic and agile look. High-gloss black accents add to the sleek appearance, and massive 22-inch wheels complete the package. LED lighting is found everywhere, front and back, including the Lincoln Embrace which projects a welcome mat of lighting on the ground when you approach the car. 

The 2025 Nautilus: a revitalizing sanctuary of comfort, technology and efficient performance.
