Used 2019 Lincoln Nautilus for Sale nearRaeford, NC

How much does the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus cost?

Prices have softened 11.43% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 711 listings available, which gives you a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus earns a 4.82/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its stylish design, luxurious interior, and smooth driving experience. They also highlight its comfort, advanced features, and lower maintenance costs than some competing luxury brands.

The main trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine and the cheap-feeling interior materials, which can dilute the premium impression. Even so, the Nautilus makes the most sense if you want a comfortable, polished two-row luxury crossover with a refreshed look and multiple powertrain options.

Only 35.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you may need to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus reliable?

Owners rate it 4.82/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owners describe it as dependable, comfortable, and a vehicle they can count on, with praise for its trouble-free feel and strong long-term appeal. The expert review also notes that the transmission behaves smoothly and stays out of the way, which supports the impression of solid everyday dependability.

The cost-effectiveness review adds that the Black Label includes 4 years or 50,000 miles of scheduled maintenance, which is a useful ownership perk if you are comparing long-term running costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that premium comfort and features can mask wear, so condition and maintenance history matter more than the badge alone.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Lincoln Nautilus?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if it looks clean on the listing page. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the drivetrain, electronics, and interior condition, since luxury features can be expensive to sort out later. Focus on whether the vehicle has been maintained consistently and whether the cabin, seats, and tech still feel as refined as they should.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Black Label trim stands out with 22-inch wheels, softer leather, matte wood trim, and more upscale interior finishes, while lesser versions still feel plush but do not get the same level of cabin richness.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, or an optional twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 with 335 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque; the V6 is the better fit if you want stronger acceleration in a vehicle this heavy.
• Safety package: The Driver Assistance package adds adaptive cruise control and evasive steering assist, while standard equipment includes forward-collision alert with automatic braking, pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, and blind-spot monitoring.
• Infotainment: Sync 3 includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, built-in Wi-Fi, Waze integration, Amazon Alexa support, remote functions through the companion app, remote start, proximity entry, and a wireless charging pad.
• Fuel efficiency: The Nautilus is EPA-rated at 19 to 21 mpg city, 25 to 27 highway, and 21 to 23 combined.

Which 2019 Lincoln Nautilus trim should I buy?

The 2019 Lincoln Nautilus is offered in 4 trim levels: Standard, Select, Reserve, Black Label.

Here's the short version:

• Standard: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Nautilus experience with the refreshed design, standard safety tech, and the basic luxury feel. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and are comfortable skipping the richer cabin touches.
• Select: This is the trim that should be on your short list if you want the best balance of price and equipment. It builds on the base model with more comfort and convenience content, making it the most sensible value choice for many shoppers.
• Reserve: This is the better pick if you want a more upscale feel without jumping all the way to Black Label pricing. It suits you if you care about a richer feature set and are willing to pay more for it.
• Black Label: This is the most luxurious version, with the most distinctive interior materials and the most premium presentation. Choose it if you want the most upscale Nautilus and are willing to pay for the added exclusivity.

The Driver Assistance package adds adaptive cruise control and evasive steering assist, so it is worth seeking out if you want the most advanced safety tech.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Lincoln Nautilus?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 35.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 711 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.43% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 76.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $18,764, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus's resale value?

The current average of $18,828 sits slightly below last year's $21,258.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can be good news if you are buying now but less favorable if you plan to sell soon. If you own one, the softer pricing means you may need to be realistic about trade-in or private-party expectations. On the other hand, the current spread between the low and high end shows there is still room for well-kept examples to command stronger money.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.82/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus safe?

The Nautilus has not been tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). However, the mechanically identical 2018 MKX scored five-star ratings in all seven NHTSA categories, and the 2017 MKX earned a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes forward-collision alert with automatic braking, pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, and blind-spot monitoring. The Driver Assistance package adds adaptive cruise control and evasive steering assist, which can help guide you around obstacles in traffic.

Should I buy a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 35.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.43% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.82/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2019 stands out as a newly named midsize luxury crossover with an extensive refresh, multiple powertrain options, and a more polished look than the model it replaced.

The bottom line: The 2019 Nautilus is the better choice if you want the refreshed styling, strong owner satisfaction, and a lower current price than it carried a year ago. If you are especially price-sensitive, you should still compare carefully against nearby model years, but the 2019 is the one that most clearly benefits from the market’s current softness.
