Used 2022 Lincoln Nautilus for Sale nearCleveland, OH

How much does the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus cost?

Prices have softened 13.27% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,648 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

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.

You get a strong mix of stylish design, a quiet and comfortable cabin, and impressive technology. The available powertrain lineup also gives you real passing power, especially in stronger trims, while the overall package still feels upscale and polished for a midsize luxury crossover.

The trade-offs are worth keeping in mind: the base engine is underwhelming, the ride can feel woozy in Comfort mode, and the back seat is cramped. Even so, the Nautilus makes sense if you want a luxury SUV that leans into refinement and features rather than sporty handling.

Good and great deals account for 35.4% of listings, so 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 points to a vehicle that feels dependable, comfortable, and quiet over time, with many owners praising the value you get for the features included. The expert drive also reinforces that sense of durability by describing the Nautilus as aging gracefully and benefiting from a continuous program of improvement.

Lincoln also gives you a well-developed feature set that should help daily ownership feel easy and predictable. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright fragility and more about making sure the specific vehicle you choose has been maintained well and still feels tight, quiet, and complete.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin, electronics, and ride quality, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on comfort and technology working as intended. It also makes sense to focus on how the vehicle feels on the road, especially if you are considering a higher-mileage example.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Black Label brings the most upscale presentation, including 21-inch machined-finish wheels, Lincoln Embrace lighting, Chalet or Flight interior themes, a simulated suede headliner, and luxury floor mats. The base trim is less lavish, while Reserve sits between the two and gives you a more attainable path to the Nautilus experience.
• Powertrain: The standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, with front-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic as standard. Black Label uses a twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 with 335 hp and 380 lb-ft, and all-wheel drive is required.
• Safety package: Every 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 Lincoln 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.
• Infotainment: You get a 13.2-inch touchscreen with Sync 4, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air updates, Lincoln Connect, a Wi-Fi hotspot, SiriusXM 360L, and available connected navigation and wireless charging.
• Fuel efficiency: The twin-turbo V6 is rated at 21 mpg combined and 25 mpg on the highway, with a maximum highway range of 450 miles.

Which 2022 Lincoln Nautilus trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• Nautilus: This is the entry point and the best fit if you want the core Nautilus experience at the lowest price. You still get the standard turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, the full Co-Pilot360 1.0 safety suite, and the same upscale design direction, but without the richer materials and extra luxury content of the higher trims.
• Nautilus Reserve: This is the best-value trim if you want a more premium feel without jumping all the way to Black Label. It keeps the standard powertrain but adds a more upscale equipment mix and sits in the sweet spot for shoppers who want luxury without the top-trim price.
• Nautilus Black Label: This is the one to choose if you want the most luxurious version and the strongest powertrain. It adds the twin-turbo V6, required AWD, the most elaborate interior themes, and the expanded Co-Pilot360 1.0 Plus safety package.

If safety equipment matters most, note that the more advanced driver-assistance features are concentrated in Black Label.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,648 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.27% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $30,102, 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 $30,102 sits slightly below last year's $34,708.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim choice rather than broad market momentum alone.

Well-equipped examples may still hold appeal because the Nautilus offers a strong mix of comfort, technology, and luxury branding. If you keep the vehicle clean, well maintained, and properly documented, you improve your odds of attracting buyers later.

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 Nautilus comes with 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. Higher trims add Lincoln 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 IIHS has not assessed the Nautilus for safety, so you are relying more heavily on NHTSA results and the vehicle’s standard driver-assistance hardware.

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:

• 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.27% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 brings a refined cabin, strong tech, and a more upscale feel than the older model years.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $25,386, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $30,102 average.
• It leans into traditional luxury with a warm, comfortable, and approachable feel.

The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced buy, the 2022 is the stronger choice because it combines a lower current price than last year, solid inventory, and a well-rounded luxury experience. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is the better value play, especially if you are comfortable giving up some of the 2022’s updated appeal.
