Why it stands out

The 2020 Lincoln Nautilus stands out as a midsize, two-row luxury SUV that emphasizes comfort, style, and a more upscale feel than Lincoln’s earlier efforts. For this model year, Lincoln removed the Select trim, and a Co-Pilot Plus package became newly available for the Reserve trim. That package added 360-degree cameras, adaptive cruise control, lane centering, automatic parking, and evasive steering assist, which helps explain why the Nautilus appeals to buyers who want a well-equipped luxury SUV with a strong safety-and-convenience focus.

It also offers a polished driving experience and a cabin that was already well thought out. The standard turbocharged four-cylinder makes 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while the optional twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 delivers 335 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. The Nautilus was EPA-rated between 19 and 21 mpg city, 25 to 27 highway, and 21 to 23 combined, and it provided 37.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 68.8 cubic feet with the seats folded. Standard equipment included Lincoln Co-Pilot360, an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 11-speaker stereo, dual-zone climate control, and heated, 10-way power front seats.

Buyers looking at the 2020 Nautilus also get a sense of Lincoln’s effort to make the SUV feel genuinely premium. The exterior uses a single horizontal grille with chrome latticework and slimmer LED headlights, while the interior includes a digital 12.3-inch instrument panel and, on higher trims, features such as leather-trimmed seating, a panoramic moonroof, and a 13-speaker Revel audio system. Its strengths are comfort, available power, and a generous feature set, though the soft suspension and vague steering mean it is not the sharpest choice for drivers who prioritize sporty handling.
