Overview

With the introduction of the Nautilus, Lincoln revamps and rebrands the Lincoln MKX model line. Lincoln stays true to its premium SUV roots with the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus. The luxury SUV offers a lavish experience with a cavernous cabin and classy interiors. Furthermore, the Lincoln Nautilus offers a reliable and potent ride with turbocharged powerplants. This suits the SUV as a touring companion. However, the Nautilus tends to feel cumbersome behind the wheel when driving in the city. Having said that, the SUV may continue the parking woes for city commuters. With fuel efficiency figures of 21 MPGs in the city and 27 MPGs on the highway, the SUV offers a reasonably economic drive. The SUV competes with the likes of midsize SUVs such as the Lexus RX350, the Cadillac XT5, and the Audi Q5. Here’s a closer look at the SUV.

Buying Advice

The Lincoln Nautilus offers a premium luxury SUV experience with a composed drive. The Luxury SUV offers a comfortable ride with the addition of new safety and tech features. Furthermore, the Lincoln Nautilus sports bolder bodywork with the signature front grill from its siblings in the Continental and the Navigator. The Nautilus shows an inclination towards touring rather than commuting. However, the midsize SUV does a respectable job when it comes to city commuting. The dimensions of the SUV suit the city bylanes, but, parking can be a tricky task with the Nautilus. All in all, the Lincoln Nautilus does fair justice to the price tag starting at $36,668 and moving upwards to $52,078. As a premium luxury SUV, the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus gets our green light.
