2019 Lincoln Nautilus review

1. Spirited drive 

The 2019 Lincoln Nautilus comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder with 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque and an eight-speed automatic transmission. However, for a more engaging driving experience, look for models with the 2.7L V6 engine with 335 hp and 380 lb-ft, optional on Select and Reverse trims. With this engine, the 2019 Nautilus can manage an estimated zero-to-60 mph time of 6.1 seconds, which is very swift for an SUV of this size. If you opt for a V6 model with all-wheel drive, the 2019 Nautilus also includes an adaptive suspension, which adjusts based on the surface you're driving on. 

2. Luxurious comfort 

Experience premium comfort during daily commuting with the Lincoln Nautilus' well-appointed interior. All 2019 models include 10-way power-adjustable heated seats with a driver's side memory feature and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Reserve models also offer available Ultra Comfort front seats with 22-way power adjustability, including thigh extenders and head restraints, plus massage functionality for a pampering experience. This comfort extends to the SUV's well-controlled ride and quiet cabin, which minimizes road noise on the highway and around town, making the Nautilus an easy-to-love daily driver. 

3. Versatile utility 

If you're searching for a small luxury SUV that excels in utility, the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus is an excellent choice. This model provides generous cargo space with 37.2 cu-ft behind the rear seats and a maximum capacity of 68.8 cu-ft with the seats folded. When properly equipped with the optional Class II Trailer tow package, the 2019 Nautilus can pull an estimated 3,500 lbs with either engine.

The interior also features numerous storage options, including a spacious center console, deep door pockets, and a cubby with a USB port and cover to secure items when parked. With room for five passengers, the Nautilus is ideal for couples or families, and the interior quickly adapts to your cargo-hauling needs. 

4. Advanced tech 

Stay seamlessly connected with the 2019 Nautilus's advanced technology features. The standard SYNC^® 3 infotainment system is intuitive and offers smartphone integration with Bluetooth^® connectivity, USB, and Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ integration. The base model also features an eight-inch touchscreen display and a 10-speaker audio system. Climbing the trims unlocks other high-tech features, including a 13-speaker audio system in the Reserve or a 19-speaker audio system with the optional Ultimate package. 

5. Comprehensive driver aids 

The 2019 Lincoln Nautilus enhances on-road confidence with a range of driver aids. Standard adaptive cruise control adjusts the vehicle's speed automatically to maintain a set following distance from the car ahead. The 2019 Nautilus also includes a standard forward collision mitigation system that warns of an impending accident and brakes automatically if you are slow to respond. Other standard driver assistance features include blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high beams to increase awareness in busy environments.
