Used 2024 Lincoln Nautilus for Sale nearChampaign, IL

How much does the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus cost?

Prices have softened 9.04% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

If you find a listing below $47,340.04, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus a good car?

With a 3/5 user rating and an 8.5/10 expert rating, the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus lands as a strong but not flawless luxury two-row crossover.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, Cost effectiveness, and Safety.

Lincoln’s second-generation Nautilus leans into comfort, presence, and technology, with a full-width display, BlueCruise hands-free driving, and a value-rich positioning against pricier German rivals. It also gives you multiple powertrain options, including a hybrid, which broadens its appeal if you want more than the standard setup.

The trade-offs are that the hybrid could be more efficient and some of the technology can be distracting. If you want a luxury SUV that prioritizes cabin experience, features, and a strong sense of occasion over sporty driving, this one fits that brief well.

With 31.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market gives you a decent chance to find a competitive example.

Is the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus reliable?

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is presented as a well-equipped, comfort-focused luxury SUV with standard all-wheel drive and a powertrain lineup that includes a hybrid option with plenty of driving range.

Its standard turbocharged four-cylinder is described as smooth and well-matched to the eight-speed automatic, and the hybrid setup is noted for avoiding the droning or over-eager engine speed that can hurt drivability. Lincoln also includes free scheduled maintenance on every Nautilus for four years or 50,000 miles if you choose the hybrid, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the technology-heavy cabin may be more complicated to live with over time than a simpler SUV, so you’ll want to verify that all screens, controls, and driver-assistance features work properly.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Lincoln Nautilus?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a tech-heavy luxury SUV where screens, driver-assistance systems, and software features matter as much as mechanical condition. Focus on whether the cabin electronics, display functions, and safety systems operate correctly, and make sure the vehicle’s equipment matches the trim level you’re considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label each build on the Nautilus’s upscale cabin and exterior design, but the base trim is already well equipped with all-wheel drive, the BlueCruise trial, and the full-screen setup.
• Powertrain: The standard turbocharged four-cylinder makes 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while the hybrid adds electric assist for 310 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque, and an estimated 30 mpg in combined driving.
• Safety package: Lincoln CoPilot 360 includes lane-keeping assist, park assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and emergency braking. BlueCruise 1.2 is included on every trim, but Premiere and Reserve get only a 90-day trial while Black Label gets it standard for four years.
• Infotainment: You get a 48-inch curved display, an 11.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Google Maps, Alexa Built-in, and over-the-air updates.
• Fuel efficiency: The gas-only engine returns 24 mpg combined, while the hybrid is rated at 30 mpg combined and offers over 600 miles of total range.

Which 2024 Lincoln Nautilus trim should I buy?

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is offered in 3 trim levels: Premiere, Reserve, Black Label.

Here's the short version:

• Premiere: This is the value play if you want the Nautilus experience at the lowest entry point, since it already brings standard all-wheel drive, the BlueCruise trial, and the full-width display setup.
• Reserve: This is the best-value trim if you want a more upscale feel without jumping all the way to the top, and it should be the first stop for shoppers balancing features and price.
• Black Label: Choose this if you want the most luxurious version, since it adds the highest-end presentation and gets BlueCruise standard for four years.

BlueCruise is standard on every trim in some form, but Premiere and Reserve only get a 90-day trial.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Lincoln Nautilus?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Inventory: There are 1,652 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.04% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $47,340.04, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus's resale value?

The current average of $47,368 sits slightly below last year's $52,073.

That price movement suggests the Nautilus has softened enough to help you buy in more favorably today, but it also means a future seller may face some depreciation pressure if the market stays soft. If you buy at a strong price now, you may reduce the sting of that decline later. The best protection is to focus on well-equipped, clean-history examples that should remain easier to resell.

Is the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus safe?

It earns a Good score from the IIHS, and the 2023 Nautilus earned five-star ratings for frontal and side crash protection and four-star ratings for rollover protection from NHTSA.

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

The Nautilus comes standard with Lincoln CoPilot 360, which includes lane-keeping assist, park assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and emergency braking. BlueCruise 1.2 is also part of the package, adding hands-free/eyes-up highway driving, automatic lane-change assist, and in-lane repositioning.

One caveat is that the latest model has not yet been fully rated by NHTSA, and the IIHS has not yet rated it in front crash prevention or seat belt or child restraint systems. That means you should still verify that the driver-assistance tech works as intended on any used example you consider.

Should I buy a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.04% compared with last year.
• This year brings the second-generation redesign, standard all-wheel drive, a hybrid option, and the full-width display with BlueCruise.

The bottom line: If you want the newer-generation Nautilus with its stronger tech story, standard AWD, and broader powertrain choice, the 2024 is the one to target. If your priority is simply spending less, a nearby older year may be worth considering, but you’ll be giving up the newer design and feature set that define this model year.
