Especially in a comfort oriented SUV like this one. My 90s Volvo has 14 inch wheels and I buy good tires for $40 a piece, and it just glides over the road. Handles well too thanks to multi-link suspension in the back. Modern cars have gone way overboard with wheels and tires. They look good but they're also a scam designed to take more cost out of your pocket while manufacturers have to spend less on suspension design to get good mechanical grip.

My last car had 16” wheels and tires were only $4-500.00 for a half decent set, $375.00 for a cheap set. My advice is to start shopping for tires months in advance, this way you can take your time to find better deals.

Alex on Autos is the absolute gold standard of car reviews! I don’t even consider a new vehicle until I’ve watched his review. Thank you, Alex 🙏

Long ago American vehicles had wonderful, distinctive names, not like the foreign ones with letter/number combos. The real names reflected a personal American spirit of driving, not the coldness one thinks about mass transit. Americans loved their cars back in the day when their cars had unique names!

I purchased my Nautilus 1.5 years ago. I went to buy a cadillac and last minute saw this crossover. For me, it was a no-brainer. I love so many things about this vehicle. Mind you, I traded in my 2020 Soul EX. I will say the aggressive lane centering in the Kia beats the co-pilot's in the Lincoln. People come up to me all the time, wanting to look at it. It's beautiful, and I appreciate the creature comforts. Speaking of creatures, I'm an avid seashell collector. The Nautilus is one of my favorite seashells. If you notice, the rims on the Nautilus mimic the same spiral design inside of the actual seashell, which those chambers are actually filled with a gas. Of course, you wouldn't know any of that unless you studied marine biology or had an interest in seashells, lol. I honestly love the name. I'll albeit there are a few comparisons between the crossover and the shell. It's been good to me thus far. Thank you and your crew for all the time and effort you put into these in-depth auto reviews. I've always been a fan of your channel, and you never disappoint. Be well - Sky

I just bought a 2020 Nautilus Black Label and I love it. I test drove both the RX and XT6 and was not impressed.

I am quite impressed by this vehicle. Normally would not have even considered Lincoln but the value seems really good. Also, the room, power, and cargo space are impressive.

That Chalet interior 18:21 is gorgeous. I’m glad to hear that it is less of a firm ride. I want a smooth and comfortable, old school ride.

Very much appreciated your comment about taking into account real world purchase prices when calculating savings in depreciation, Alex. Last year I traded a 2012 Kia Sorento for a 2018 model. The dealer credited my trade-in within $800 of the blue book estimate of a comparable 2012 Toyota Highlander of comparable mileage/condition/trim. Considering that I purchased the Sorento at nearly $6000 less than the best offer I had received for a Highlander in 2012, I made out like a bandit. The keys to minimizing depreciation loss on ANY new vehicle are simple. (1) Make a good deal when you buy the vehicle. (2) Take good care of it while you own it. (3) Hold onto it for six years or more. By the same token if you're willing to indulge a very expensive hobby, (1) Pay MSRP plus any "market adjustment" second sticker on a new car. (2) Thrash the hell out of it and ignore scheduled maintenance and service. (3) Trade it within three years or less.

I have to say that with that softer ride I would look at this vehicle very much.

Great review - as always - thanks! Yes, I would (will) definitely put Nautilus on my short list. Got my first SUV just a few months ago... as a big person, I'm happily never going back to a sedan! Love the size, comfort and everything else about the SUV form-factor.

Yes to naming a vehicle.....Yes to the name,I can dig it.

Appreciate all of the info and especially the specific dimension comparisons to other mid-sized SUVs. I’m considering this vehicle after the lease on my Jeep Grand Cherokee ends in a few months.

Excellent review!

Wow, a great review and comparison!

Is this basically a high end Ford Edge? I prefer names over confusing letters. I've had good luck with Ford Products in recent years. I prefer a softer ride

Excellent review as always. What do I think? - I think that finally Detroit has hit the nail on the head. This Nautilus is simply stunning in every aspect, and one of the best looking lux crossovers in the market ( that last photo in red - WOW!). Superbly luxurious interiors and a torquey2.7 liter with adaptive suspension. /// The Reserve AWD with the 2.7 seems like better value option although I haven't seen the interior color combos. European and Japanese premium vehicles tend to have better lease options, and that, along with name prestige, drive most consumers in this segment towards those premium brands.

Infotainment song on point!

On the JGC, “...hog wild on cow hide.” Nice!

What i am not crazy about is the older design of the dash on the Nautilus SUV, who still has CD player slot? Love the new dash of the Corsair, but its a CUV. The cabin is roomier if you consider man-spreading, an important issue to consider for long drives, or sitting waiting in your car for your wife. The center console on the Nautilus confines your “boys”. On the Corsair, man-spreading is great, if you are a tall guy. Your right knee has room to spread over the center console, And your left knee has room to move under the door handle, which makes for a very relaxed drive. My wish, is to have The Nautilus share the new console design, like its other Lincoln SUVs. Its the only disappointment i see. Moreover, the Nautilus front seats have a roomier/wider back. If you’re a tall big man like me, the Corsair seats are not as wide.

Nautilus, even before watching your video.

Lincoln is absolutely killing it. Unbelievable job and if people are in this market they should really be looking at these. Easily the best American luxury brand. I just hope they continue making the sedans unlike Ford

Nice review and comparisons to others in the segment. One thing missing on the Nautilus is a head up display that can be had on most others in the segment. The HUD is a really great option that should be offered on a vehicle at this price range.

Perhaps the name "Nautilus" is intended to remind one of the Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea fame, and not so much the mollusc. Or, perhaps the USS Nautilus, which was the first nuclear submarine to travel beneath the arctic ice cap in the 50's. Seems consistent with Navigator, Corsair, and Aviator.

If you are willing to buy used, the prices on a low mileage MKX is where the best deals are. The interior and 2.7T engine are the same as the 2019.

Not sure if it's better but it certainly looks a lot better than the RX.

The lift gate height can be adjusted to whatever you like. Low to clear open garage doors, or high for head clearance for a tall person.

I overall dig the Lincoln Nautilus mostly because of its design aesthetic and its attention to minor details. It has a refined muscular look to it vs the sharp trapezoid shapes on the RX. Alex sold me when I was shopping for a car and I ended up picking up a used MKZh :)

You know Lincoln is doing great things and releasing great cars but the only thing I can’t get over is the depreciation. It won’t hold value as well

You talked about soft ride in comfort but what about Sport? Did it handle comparably to X5?

You Rule Alex !,,!

The headlights totally remind me on the first Audi Q7.

Lincoln v Lexus? After buying two new, ones I would not buy another Lexus ever. Brought my Rx400h in for an oil change per the schedule for its second servicing just shy of 10K mi from new. My bill? $709.. For an oil change. Oh, and they checked fluid levels. I complained to my "service consultant" who took fifty bucks off. He then smiled at me (and like nearly all new car dealers these days )said, "Oh, you'll be receiving a survey call from Lexus. My compensation depends upon your answers so I'd appreciate your giving me all 5"s on all questions." Yeah, whatever, I thought still unhappy about being ripped off on the oil change. Sure enough, that night I got a call and true to my word, I gave Dr. Jekyll high marks. The last question the surveyor asked was "Is there any reason you would not bring your car in for service in the future?" I replied, "I'm never bringing my car in again because your service costs are exorbitant and unreasonable. And although your consultant discounted my bill by fifty dollars I don't see myself being suckered into another $659 oil change." The next morning, I received a call from Mr. Hyde my service consultant that went like this: "What the f*** did you say to Lexus? I told you to give me all fives! I have a f***ing family to feed. You're an a**hole." Before I could respond, he hung up on me. I did this guy one more favor by not calling his boss, but will I ever consider buying another Lexus? Uh, no.

I do hope Lincoln/ford has observed and learned from the mistakes that Cadillac/GM are and have been making in terms of branding their vehicles based on the nameplate/aura of said nameplate! The prices of the XT5 and other models within the Caddy's range do not reflex the quality of such a marque as they would want me to believe! I do find the work/engineering being invested in Lincoln's model line up to be a more compelling choice if it was my hard earned money! Keep your eye on the prize Lincoln, your SUV line up is far more attractive than anything ng coming from GM or Europe for that matter.

He had a previous video that is no longer on youtube and it compared the XT5 and RX350 to the Nautilus. I loved that review and wish Alex would put it back on here.

I think Lincolns are great cruiser cars. I used to own one (The New MKZ Hybrid Top Tier model), I also used to own a Hyundai Azera. The major issue I had was the comfort of the seating of the Lincolns, especially on long drives. Lincolns comfort was terrible. The Hyundai on the other hand was a dream. I'll be getting that Palisade this year for sure. Sorry Lincoln and all other luxury models.

I think I'd rather get the Reserve trim cream colored like you showed and top-tier package and I can talk him a couple of thousand less so altogether that's about 7,000 less than Black Label, and I even like the wheels better on Reserve

I’m happy that Lincoln is bucking the naming scheme that luxury vehicles use. For Mercedes and BMW, it makes sense since they have such enormous lineups; but Lincoln, Cadillac, Acura, and Lexus have such small lineups that a naming system just isn’t necessary

I am cross-shopping QX60 with Nautilus because I'm looking for a soft ride. Can understand your not comparing it with Nautilus because it's a 3 row and 10 inches longer. I would fold down the 3rd seat forever and enjoy the extra storage.

Seems like a good crossover, but I'd wait for the aviator.

Alex I have a question. I remember when you reviewed the MKX last time, you said that AWD system engages the real wheels by sending almost 50% of the power almost all the time, which definitely help with the driving dynamic. But this time it seems this nautilus sends less power to rear wheels than previous models?

I was seriously going to buy a Cadillac xt5 and decided to do more research because people keep saying Cadillac is not dependable; however, that body style is 100% better looking than any of the competitors. So looking for a comparable body style/ size brought me to the Lincoln Nautilus...it's lovely but it still doesn't make me swoon like the xt5 😍💜

Just like RX, Nautilus is a midsize suv priced close to compacts like X3 & GLC. It offers excellent value!

@StreakingTiger

4 жыл бұрын

I've driven the X3 and reviewed the GLC, and their seats are not real leather like the Nautilus. Also, the Nautilus offers tons more options than either of those, and is better in every way that I've seen. I would not compare either to the Nautilus, but would compare to the XT5 and RX350. Also, the BMW X5, but the X5 is way pricier to get similar options.

Given the depreciation on Lincolns, this is going to be an awesome 2-3 year old used car, upscale Uber Black, etc. Despite liking it, no way would I buy a Lincoln of Cadillac new.

Reasons to choose the Lexus RX350 over the Nautilus: 1. Bullet-proof reliability 2. Superior dealership experience, including unlimited courtesy car washes for all owners and all trim levels 3. Better rear seat leg room 4. Lower MSRP for higher trim levels 5. Proven naturally-aspirated V6 engine

RX is a glorified Highlander that's just uglier. Nautilus is a glorified Edge, at least looks good. Both are luxury cars that depreciate. So just buy the one you like.

when I got my RX350 it was around 10% less than MSRP. But I'm in Ontario where it's built so maybe it is not the same across North America.

What I like about this car vs the competition is COMFORT. This is exactly what I want. I like the power steering column and Ford's easy exit/entrance feature too. But alas, I'm not a small person so I'll stick with the F150.

Actually reminds me of Infiniti. More budget minded in the segment. Softer suspended than the competition. And in recent years, downsizing engines.

Active safety on all models. I’d wait for one of these base models sitting on the lot and get it for a steal. Why would they do a smaller V6 with a Turbo? The 3.7L V6 that was in the MKX was solid and same MPG.

What I need from Lincoln is a Nautilus with all the performance specs of the Aviator in the 2 row seating vehicle. I will buy when that happens. I would go for the Aviator but do not want 3 row seating.

2.7 twin turbo, I knew it, ford pulled it out and put it in the Lincoln

Imo the update it needs is for the infotainment system & exterior. Other then that this is beautiful !

Name change Good , very good looking SUV,

Also...The Lincoln is by a wide margin a far more attractive body line. If looking proportional is a factor, it'a just that more attractive!

Rx was great up until 2015. Now you get a gigantic grill with a car attached to it.

Can't seem to recall, but I don't think you mentioned the side mirrors. Why is it the Lincoln was able to put the mirrors onto the door and add a window while the Edge did not? This is significant, in my opinion.

Nautilus invokes design imagery from the sea

Names are by far better than letter-number combinations. IMO.

Nice looking SUV. Unfortunately, reliability and resale value are my top priorities. Thus, I must stick with my 2012 RX350 even though the RX the most boring car I’ve ever driven. I like my 2007 MDX way more. Sorry Ford. Not yet
