The expert evaluation adds that it feels luxurious and well-equipped, with a continuous program of improvement that helps it age gracefully.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report, because accident-free status is a useful starting point but not a substitute for documentation. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the suspension, electronics, and cabin condition, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on comfort and technology. Focus on whether the features you want are actually present and working, especially if you are comparing lower and higher trims.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The standard model emphasizes upscale styling and comfort, while Black Label adds a more luxurious presentation with 21-inch machined-finish wheels, unique interior themes, a simulated suede headliner, and luxury floor mats. The base setup does not include the Black Label’s extra luxury touches, so you should decide whether those upgrades matter enough to justify the jump.
• Powertrain: The standard Nautilus and Reserve use a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while Black Label gets a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 with 335 hp and 380 lb-ft. The V6 is the stronger choice if you want more passing power and a more effortless feel.
• Safety package: Every Nautilus has Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0 with 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. Black Label adds Co-Pilot360 1.0 Plus with adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assistance, evasive steering assist, a surround-view camera system, parking sensors, and semi-autonomous parking assist.
• Infotainment: You get a 13.2-inch touchscreen with Sync 4, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, over-the-air updates, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected services, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and SiriusXM 360L. Higher-spec examples may also include connected navigation, wireless charging, and the 19-speaker Revel audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The twin-turbo V6 returns 21 mpg in combined driving and 25 mpg on the highway, with a maximum range of 450 miles based on the highway rating.

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:

• Nautilus: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core luxury crossover experience with the standard turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0, Sync 4, wireless smartphone integration, and the upscale design that defines the model. It is the best-value choice if you want the Nautilus experience without paying for the most expensive extras.
• Reserve: This is the trim to target if you want a stronger balance of equipment and price, because it keeps the standard powertrain while opening the door to more available luxury and convenience content. It is the most sensible step up if you want more features without going all the way to the top.
• Black Label: This is the most luxurious version, with the twin-turbo V6, AWD requirement, unique interior themes, and the most complete feature set. Choose it if you want the plushest Nautilus and are willing to pay for it.

Black Label also gets the expanded Co-Pilot360 1.0 Plus safety package, while the lower trims stick with the standard suite.

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

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

• Deal availability: 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,716 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.43% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $29,260, 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 $29,260 sits slightly below last year's $33,798.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at the current average or below, you reduce the chance of taking a bigger depreciation hit immediately after purchase. The good news is that the Nautilus still has a strong feature set and broad appeal among shoppers who want comfort and luxury without moving into a larger SUV. 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?

The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with a four-star rating for rollover resistance.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Every 2022 Nautilus has Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0, which 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. Black Label adds Co-Pilot360 1.0 Plus with 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 IIHS has not assessed the Nautilus for safety.

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

• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.43% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 combines the older platform with updated Sync 4 tech, over-the-air updates, and available Black Label luxury.

The bottom line: Choose the 2022 if you want the stronger shopping case, better market conditions, and the updated tech package. If your priority is saving money, the 2021 is the better value play, especially if you are comfortable giving up some of the 2022’s market freshness and feature appeal.
