“In my vehicle I wish the seat cooler/ heater fan assembly was quiet. I want the seat belts to be easier to fasten. I would like the car to be lower to facilitate entry/exit.”
2024 Lincoln Nautilus: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is a complete redesign that begins a new generation on a new platform. Its headline change is a reimagined cabin built around a standard 48-inch panoramic dashboard display.
About the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus
All-new generation, first year; second generation sold under the Nautilus name.
Lincoln positions the Nautilus as a five-seat midsize luxury SUV focused on calm, comfort and easy everyday use rather than sports-car handling. Its defining qualities are a quiet cabin, spacious second row, soft ride and unusually wide dashboard display. Standard AWD and extensive driver-assistance hardware support commuting and road trips, while gas and hybrid versions provide two different approaches to performance and fuel use.
The 2024 Nautilus is a technology-focused luxury SUV, even in the Premiere trim, with standard AWD, heated and ventilated front seats, and a broad set of parking and driver-assistance features. Reserve adds a smoother adaptive suspension, leather-trimmed seats and illuminated front lighting, while Black Label emphasizes cabin comfort with 24-way massaging front seats and a 28-speaker audio system.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
AWD became standard across Premiere, Reserve and Black Label. The redesigned powertrain range uses a turbocharged gas engine, while hybrid variants joined Reserve and Black Label.
Styling
Lincoln redesigned the body, grille, front end, exterior lighting and cabin. Roof rails became standard across the lineup, while the Reserve panoramic roof changed from standard to optional equipment.
Safety
The standard driver-assistance suite expanded to include adaptive cruise control, lane centering, a 360-degree camera and automated parking. On Reserve, adaptive cruise control, the 360-degree camera and parking assistance moved from optional to standard.
Tech
Every trim gained a 48-inch panoramic dashboard display, an 11.1-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone integration. Black Label gained a 28-speaker audio system, while premium audio changed from standard to optional on Reserve.
Structural
The Nautilus moved to a new vehicle platform with a longer wheelbase, a revised suspension design and fully redesigned body and cabin. Premiere replaced the former Base trim as the entry model.
