How much does the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus cost?

Prices have softened 8.81% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

Is the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus a good car?

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is a strong pick if you want a luxury two-row crossover that leans heavily into comfort, technology, and value, though its distracting controls may not suit every shopper. It earns a 3/5 user rating and an 8.5/10 expert rating.

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

The Nautilus stands out with standard all-wheel drive, multiple powertrain options, and a full-width display that gives the cabin a distinctive, high-tech feel. It is also positioned as a compelling alternative to pricier German rivals, especially if you want a premium SUV with a lot of equipment for the money.

The main trade-offs are that the hybrid could be more efficient and some technology features are distracting.

With 34.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive price if you shop carefully.

Is the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus reliable?

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is presented as a well-equipped, strong second-generation entry with standard all-wheel drive and a broad feature set, but it also brings enough technology complexity that you should shop with care. The expert evaluation says the powertrain works smoothly, shifts stay in the background, and the hybrid setup avoids the droning that can hurt driving enjoyment.

The hybrid powertrain is described as having plenty of driving range, and the cost-effectiveness notes add that hybrid buyers get free scheduled maintenance for four years or 50,000 miles. That helps soften ownership costs early on.

For used buyers, the biggest long-term risk is that the vehicle’s heavy reliance on screens and digital controls could mean more frustration than a simpler luxury SUV if you plan to keep it for many years.

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 if you are considering a higher-mileage example or one with the hybrid powertrain. Focus on overall condition, how the tech interfaces behave, and whether the cabin electronics feel intuitive enough for your daily use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label each build on the Nautilus’ upscale cabin and tech, but the base trim is already well equipped with all-wheel drive, the Blue Cruise trial, and the full-screen setup. The Black Label stands out most clearly if you want the most lavish presentation and the longest Blue Cruise access.
• Powertrain: The standard turbocharged four-cylinder makes 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while the hybrid increases output to 310 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque and is rated at 30 mpg combined. The gas-only engine returns 24 mpg combined, and the hybrid is the better choice if you want more range and stronger efficiency.
• Safety package: The Lincoln CoPilot 360 suite includes lane-keeping assist, park assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and emergency braking. Blue Cruise 1.2 is included on every Nautilus trim in some form, but Premiere and Reserve get only a 90-day trial while Black Label gets four years standard.
• Infotainment: The cabin centers on a 48-inch curved display paired with an 11.1-inch touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with Google Maps, Alexa Built-in, OTA updates, wireless charging, and USB-A and USB-C ports.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid is rated at 30 mpg combined, while the gas-only engine returns 24 mpg combined. The hybrid also delivers 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’ core appeal without stretching too far. You still get standard all-wheel drive, the big-screen cabin, and the Blue Cruise trial, so it covers the essentials well.
• Reserve: This is the best middle-ground choice if you want a more upscale feel without jumping all the way to the top trim. It should suit you if you want the Nautilus’ luxury and tech balance with a bit more polish.
• Black Label: This is the one to choose if you want the most luxurious version and the most complete Blue Cruise access. It also brings the highest-end presentation and the richest available equipment.

Blue Cruise is standard for four years on Black Label, while Premiere and Reserve get a 90-day trial.

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

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you have room to shop selectively without waiting forever for a perfect deal.

• Deal availability: 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,625 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.81% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $47,252, 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 $47,279 sits slightly below last year's $51,847.

That decline suggests the Nautilus has become more affordable for used buyers, which can help you get into a well-equipped luxury SUV at a lower entry point. For a future seller, though, it also means you should expect some pressure on resale if the market continues to favor shoppers.

The current pricing range shows that values have already adjusted meaningfully, so a clean, well-optioned example may hold up better than a higher-mileage or less desirable one. If you buy carefully now, you can reduce the chance of taking an outsized hit later.

Is the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus safe?

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus has not yet been rated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), but the 2023 Nautilus earned five-star ratings for frontal and side crash protection and four-star ratings for rollover protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gives the 2024 Nautilus its top score of Good in crashworthiness.

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

The Lincoln CoPilot 360 suite includes lane-keeping assist, park assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and emergency braking. Blue Cruise 1.2 is also part of the safety story, with hands-free/eyes-up driving included in some form on every trim.

One caveat is that the latest model has not yet been rated by IIHS for front crash prevention or seat belt or child restraints systems, so you should still pay attention to how the vehicle is equipped and maintained.

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:

• 34.4% 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 8.81% compared with last year.
• It gives you standard all-wheel drive, a hybrid option, and the new full-width display and Blue Cruise tech that define this generation.

The bottom line: If you want the second-generation Nautilus with its standard AWD, strong tech, and improved value positioning, the 2024 is the right target. If your priority is simply spending less, a nearby year may be worth a look, but the 2024 is the better choice if you want the newer design and feature set.
