The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus marks a bold evolution of Lincoln’s midsize luxury utility vehicle. Defined by a new interior experience, expanded technology, and a design language that balances elegance with presence, the Nautilus continues its transformation into one of the most forward-thinking vehicles in the segment. With two trim levels—Premiere and Reserve—available, and a choice between traditional turbocharged performance or an advanced hybrid powertrain, the Nautilus offers a high level of personalization for discerning drivers.
Beyond its graceful exterior, the new Nautilus places emphasis on in-cabin serenity, intelligent assistance, and digital immersion. It combines these priorities with everyday versatility and long-distance comfort, making it equally suited for highway cruising, daily commuting, or long weekend escapes.
Stepping into the 2025 Nautilus reveals an interior defined by advanced digital experiences and refined design details. At the centre of the dashboard sits a sweeping panoramic display—currently the largest in its class—stretching across the windshield in a seamless digital band. This is paired with an 11.1-inch centre touchscreen and fully integrated Google built-in functionality, allowing drivers to access Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play without relying on a connected phone.
Ambient lighting sequences welcome the driver with Lincoln Embrace, while customizable lighting themes help set the tone for every journey. Materials throughout the cabin feel premium and precise, and available finishes like Light Smoked Truffle or Black Onyx with Copper Code detailing enhance the sense of tailored luxury. Sound is treated as seriously as sight and touch; buyers can upgrade to a Revel audio system for a richer acoustic environment, and Active Noise Control helps maintain the signature Lincoln quietness on the road.
Every 2025 Nautilus comes standard with Lincoln’s latest Co-Pilot360 Vision 2.2 suite of driver assistance features. Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, blind spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, lane centering, and automatic emergency braking are all included. Additionally, the latest version of Lincoln BlueCruise—offering hands-free highway driving with in-lane repositioning and lane change assist—is standard on both trims and comes with a four-year subscription.
All-wheel drive is also standard across the lineup, enhancing stability and performance in varying weather conditions. Every Nautilus includes high-end connectivity features, over-the-air software updates, and voice-command capabilities integrated into the Lincoln Digital Experience. Wireless charging, multiple USB-C ports, and over-the-air updates complete the modern luxury environment.
Starting at $63,145, the Nautilus Premiere trim is far from a base model. It offers a robust level of equipment, striking a balance between value and sophistication. On the exterior, it features Lincoln’s updated design language, with a sculpted body, wide stance, and refined lighting signatures. It’s also the first point in the lineup where the Jet Appearance Package is available, adding blacked-out exterior trim, gloss black wheels, and exclusive colour-matched details.
Inside, the Premiere features high-quality soft-touch surfaces and modern trim accents. The panoramic digital display, full suite of safety technologies, and Google-based infotainment are all included. Seating is supportive and spacious, with ample legroom in both rows and 1,851 litres of cargo space behind the first row.
Buyers of the Premiere model can choose between two powertrains. The standard engine is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder delivering 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. For those seeking improved efficiency without sacrificing comfort, the fourth-generation hybrid powertrain is also available. This system combines the same 2.0-litre engine with an electric motor for a total output of 310 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid delivers impressive fuel efficiency, rated at just 7.7 L/100 km combined, while operating seamlessly in electric-only, gas-only, or blended modes depending on driving conditions.
The Reserve model, priced from $72,945, enhances the luxurious feel of the Nautilus with more refined details, upscale materials, and additional customization options. It retains all of the standard features from the Premiere model but adds leather-trimmed seating for both rows, available upgraded Revel audio systems, and enhanced ambient lighting themes. The interior can be further individualized with unique materials and colour schemes, including the distinctive Black Onyx interior with rich copper-toned aluminum accents.
The Reserve also offers both powertrains: the turbocharged 2.0-litre engine for traditional driving feel and power, and the 2.0-litre-based hybrid system for those looking to maximize fuel efficiency and smoothness. Like the Premiere, both engines are paired with all-wheel drive, and the hybrid configuration uses a continuously variable transmission for seamless acceleration.
On the outside, the Jet Appearance Package is again available, adding visual drama and design distinction. Buyers can select between multiple 20- to 22-inch wheel designs, all of which are engineered to complement the Nautilus' bold proportions and confident presence on the road.
One of the most notable changes to the 2025 Nautilus lineup is the broad availability of optional packages across both Premiere and Reserve models. This includes the Jet Appearance Package and the Trailer Tow Class I Package—both of which are now offered on either trim.
The Jet Appearance Package gives the Nautilus a sharper and more assertive look. Gloss black wheels, black-painted mirror caps, a unique grille treatment, and body-colour accents replace the standard brightwork to give the vehicle a sportier personality. This package is a visual statement available regardless of powertrain, allowing buyers to make an impression whether they choose the standard or hybrid configuration.
The Trailer Tow Class I Package equips the Nautilus for light-duty towing. This includes enhanced cooling systems and trailer-ready wiring connections that allow for safe towing of smaller loads, such as personal watercraft, utility trailers, or small snowmobiles. When properly equipped, the Nautilus can tow up to 1,587 kilograms (3,500 pounds), making it one of the more capable vehicles in its segment when it comes to utility.
Other available options include advanced parking assist systems, premium interior finishes, upgraded lighting features, and enhanced sound systems. Whether the priority is performance, design, or in-cabin experience, Lincoln gives buyers the flexibility to build the Nautilus that best fits their lifestyle.
With the 2025 Nautilus, Lincoln offers a luxury midsize SUV that blends timeless elegance with contemporary technology and flexibility. By providing standard all-wheel drive, intuitive driver assistance, and one of the most advanced digital cabins in the industry, every model starts from a strong foundation. The choice between turbocharged or hybrid powertrains allows buyers to prioritize performance or efficiency, while shared access to premium options across both trims ensures that luxury is never out of reach. Whether you choose the well-equipped Premiere or the richly appointed Reserve, the Nautilus offers a polished and highly configurable ownership experience that speaks to modern luxury in a distinctly Lincoln way.
