Consider waiting if:

• Tech: This 11.1-inch touchscreen is for the typical infotainment controls, such as navigation, climate settings, audio functions, and phone mirroring via standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also standard are a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, a digital key, satellite radio, remote start, and a wireless smartphone charger.
• Safety: Lincoln loads up the Nautilus with standard safety features, including a surround-view camera system, adaptive cruise control, lane-centering steering, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, high-beam assist, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, exit warning, front and rear parking sensors, a driver-attention monitor, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection and intersection assist, and front and rear automatic emergency braking.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
