Reviews SummaryWithout a talented chef, the best ingredients from around the world can produce a mediocre meal. Thus, the redesigned 2016 Lincoln MKX comes across as half-baked, a stylish and remarkably well-equipped vehicle that is good rather than great. To better compete in an increasingly crowded segment, this Lincoln requires additional refinement and attention to detail. | |
Reviews SummaryMost luxury automakers pursue power and sportiness to go with their vehicles’ luxury. Luxury is Lincoln's only consideration, and the 2026 Nautilus is a perfect example. It offers dashing good looks, smooth power delivery, and a new take on interior technology—but most of all it’s about opulence. Verdict: The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus is for the buyer for whom comfort, luxury, and technology are more important than outright power and sporty handling. Its take on technology splashes the interior with screens, which some will find overwhelming, but the Nautilus is also roomy, and its hybrid powertrain is the clear choice in the lineup, even though it doesn’t achieve top-notch fuel economy. | |
