How much does the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus cost?

Prices have softened 10.92% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 1,718 listings available, you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $31,056.92, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus earns a 4.6/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Cost effectiveness, Technology, and Safety.

Drivers consistently praise the stylish design, smooth ride, quiet cabin, and advanced technology. The user feedback also points to strong comfort and solid value for the features included.

The trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine, the pricing on some versions, and a few interior details that do not always feel fully luxurious. That lines up with the overview: you are looking at a five-passenger luxury crossover that prioritizes comfort and style over flash.

With 33.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. User feedback also points to a quiet, comfortable, and trouble-free ownership experience, with many drivers highlighting the dependable feel of the vehicle over time.

The expert evaluation reinforces that impression by describing the Nautilus as a comfortable, quiet road-trip companion with a well-sorted driving character. Lincoln also includes a broad set of standard safety and convenience features, which can help reduce day-to-day ownership friction.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that higher-mileage examples may show wear in the cabin or reveal maintenance costs tied to the more complex luxury features.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Lincoln Nautilus?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free status does not tell you everything about prior maintenance or cosmetic wear. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the cabin electronics, driver-assistance systems, and suspension behavior, especially if the vehicle has larger wheels or higher mileage. Pay close attention to how the interior materials have held up, since luxury buyers will notice trim wear quickly.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Black Label trim adds the most upscale presentation, including distinctive interior themes, a simulated suede headliner, luxury floor mats, and nearly every available feature. The lower trims are less lavish, and the base setup does not include the full Black Label treatment.
• Powertrain: The standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder makes 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while the Black Label’s twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 makes 335 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic are standard on the lower setup, while all-wheel drive is available.
• Safety package: Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0 is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. Co-Pilot360 1.0 Plus adds adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assistance, evasive steering assist, a surround-view camera system, parking sensors, and semi-autonomous parking assist.
• Infotainment: The Nautilus uses a 13.2-inch touchscreen with Sync 4, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, over-the-air updates, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Lincoln Connect, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and SiriusXM 360L.
• Fuel efficiency: The twin-turbo V6 is rated at 21 mpg combined and 25 mpg on the highway, and it returned 25 mpg over a long road test. The fuel tank holds 18 gallons.

Which 2022 Lincoln Nautilus trim should I buy?

The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is offered in 3 trim levels: Nautilus, Reserve, Black Label.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The standard Nautilus gives you the core luxury crossover experience, but it lacks the richer cabin presentation and added convenience features found higher up the range.
• Sweet-spot trim: The Reserve is the best value if you want a more upscale feel without jumping all the way to the top-priced Black Label.
• Premium/top trim: Black Label is the most luxurious choice, with the 2.7-liter V6, distinctive interior themes, premium materials, and the fullest feature set.

The safety package note is simple: Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0 is standard, while Co-Pilot360 1.0 Plus is reserved for the Black Label.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Lincoln Nautilus?

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

• Deal availability: 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,718 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.92% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,056.92, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus's resale value?

The current average of $31,044 sits slightly below last year's $34,850.

That price movement suggests the Nautilus has become more approachable for used buyers, which can help demand in the near term. For a future seller, the softer market means you may need to price competitively to stand out. Well-equipped examples with strong condition and desirable features should still hold more appeal than bare-bones versions.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus safe?

It earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with a four-star rating for rollover resistance. It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0 is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. Higher trims add Co-Pilot360 1.0 Plus, which brings adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assistance, evasive steering assist, a surround-view camera system, parking sensors, and semi-autonomous parking assist.

The main caveat is that the IIHS has not assessed the Nautilus for safety, so you should lean on the available NHTSA result and the standard equipment list when evaluating protection.

Should I buy a 2022 Lincoln Nautilus or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.92% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It combines a quiet cabin, strong tech, and a more upscale feel than the ordinary SUV underneath.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $25,803, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $31,044 average.
• It leans into traditional luxury with a warm, comfortable, and easy-to-use character.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped, more refined version of this generation and can stretch to the 2022 market, this is the stronger all-around pick. If your priority is lower purchase price and you still want the Nautilus comfort-first formula, the 2021 is the value-minded alternative.
