2026 Lincoln Nautilus Model Review - Phoenix, AZ

What's New for the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus?

Lincoln has updated the Nautilus with its latest BlueCruise 1.5 system. Featuring an automatic lane change function, this hands-free system can now automatically pass slower-moving traffic while keeping you traveling at your desired speed. The popular Jet appearance package is now offered as an option on every trim. It elevates the SUV's styling by adding blacked-out treatments and exclusive 22-inch wheels. New exterior and interior color options arrive as well.

What Are the 2026 Nautilus Trims & Features?

Lincoln continues to offer the Nautilus in three trim levels: Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label. A compelling list of standard equipment makes the entry-level Nautilus Premier an appealing option. Some of its highlights include a 48-inch panoramic display with wireless smartphone connectivity, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 10-speaker audio system.

The Nautilus Reserve features an adaptive suspension, which takes its ride quality and handling to the next stage. Exterior treatments, such as unique 21-inch wheels and an illuminated Lincoln star logo, further distinguish the Reserve trim. On the inside, you'll find perforated leather seating surfaces and wood accents.

Atop the range sits the high-end Nautilus Black Label. Some of its niceties include a 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system, Lincoln Rejuvenate, and 24-way Perfect Position seats with Active Motion massage.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Nautilus Have?

The Nautilus is motivated by a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It cranks out a competitive 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to a standard AWD system.

Lincoln also offers an optional hybrid powertrain with 310 horsepower. It uses a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Nautilus Include?

Lincoln Co-Pilot360, which is an impressive collection of advanced safety technologies, comes standard on the new Nautilus. While Pre-Collision Assist scans the road ahead for vehicles and pedestrians, a Blind Spot Information System warns you of traffic you might otherwise miss.
