The 2023 Lincoln Nautilus carries a reputation that prioritizes comfort over sportiness. When it comes to luxury, Lincoln knows a thing or two.

When you step inside the Nautilus, you’ll find an impressive SUV with a premium interior, an impressively quiet ride, and useful technology. These qualities make this Lincoln SUV easy to drive and enjoy out on the roads whether you’ve got your family in tow or head out for a bit of serenity on the road.

Let’s take a look at what the Lincoln Nautilus has to offer across its trims.

Two engine options to handle all the work

Unlike its sister brand Ford, Lincoln doesn’t offer several powertrains for its midsize SUV. Two powertrains are offered for the Nautilus.

The standard powertrain provides you with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine attached to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain provides 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft o torque. Choose the FWD model, and you’ll have 21 city/26 hwy mpg, while AWD versions return 20 city/25 hwy mpg.

Going to the higher powertrain you’ll find a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This means you’ve got 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain comes with a standard AWD setup, providing you with power and grip at all four wheels while also enjoying 19 city/25 hwy mpg.

The Nautilus is also backed by an impressive 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty.
