“It gets great gas mileage and is sleek with good lines. The driver seat has a lot of adjustment to create comfort. The air conditioning system is difficult to adjust the air flow direction because it is electronic. Unsafe to adjust while driving.”
2025 Lincoln Nautilus: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest 2025 Lincoln Nautilus change is that the Reserve gains a much fuller set of standard comfort equipment. Otherwise, this is a light trim-equipment update, with Lincoln Rejuvenate also becoming standard on Black Label and no redesign or powertrain changes.
About the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus
2nd generation (2024-present), second model year; no mid-cycle refresh
Lincoln positions the Nautilus as a quiet, spacious two-row luxury SUV built around passenger comfort and an unusually wide digital dashboard. Its identity centers on a calm cabin, generous second-row room, easy-to-use connected displays, and a smooth ride rather than sporty handling. Gas and hybrid versions pair standard AWD with a comfort-focused design, placing the Nautilus between Lincoln’s smaller Corsair and three-row Aviator.
The Premiere is the well-equipped starting trim, with standard AWD, a 48-inch panoramic display, an 11.1-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and gas and hybrid versions. Reserve adds features such as adaptive suspension, a panoramic glass roof, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and 14-speaker Revel audio. Black Label tops the range with 24-way massaging front seats, 28-speaker audio, upgraded LED headlights, and coordinated Lincoln Rejuvenate relaxation modes.

“The Infotainment System has 2 shortcomings. It won't recognize any audio format except MP3. Not WMA, WAV, etc. and the Navigation System Panoramic Map will not change orientation. It is locked into ""Dead Ahead"" mode and will not display ""North Up"" orientation which many people prefer.”
