2019 Lincoln Nautilus: First Drive - Cars.com
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Lincoln has ditched its alphabet soup naming technique for “exploration”-themed names. The Nautilus takes the place of the MKX, joining the new Navigator, Continental and forthcoming Aviator.

That door trim is gorgeous
I love the "PRND" buttons. Simple and clean. Every company has been experimenting with buttons, knobs, etc.
If it’s not from the Germans don’t expect much praise from US journalists. From where you’ve been to where you’re headed, great job Lincoln!! Can’t wait to see the Aviator next!
Now I wish Acura would get back to their roots as well and dump the "Alphabet Soup" names. I missed the Legend, Vigor, Integra!

Jeremy Gjonaj Nope you’re wrong. +10% lol! What’re u smoking? Lincoln itself reports sales for 2018 YOY are down -6.8%. In fact, every single Lincoln sans navigator was down. ~3 to 27% depending on model. And navigator sales should be up given the much needed redesign...they couldn’t have gotten much worse. Lincoln yearly sales; 2018 - 103,587 2017 - 111,159 For comparison, let’s look at yearly sales in 2015...101,257....yeah so not much of an increase from ‘15 to ‘18 sales. And that’s WITH a new continental and redesigned mkx that debuted AFTER 2015. Tell me again how Lincoln sales have increased substantially?
Excellent reviews and communication of details relevant to actual buyers; instead of just trying for laughs or hooning. Cars.com is really impressing me lately. It has become my go-to for information.

Maybe they need a better and more technological interior with a superior package of technologies in the powertrain ... something not so standard American style, and yes a few levels more premium, I think the firm needs to match them with the level offered by the market European.

BMW, Benz are all significantly depreciated too, not just that, these cars are high maintenance with high repairing costs.
I agree with the standardization of the safety features (blind spot monitoring etc) by all car makers.
One correction, adaptive cruise control is an option, not standard equipment.
Great car. Big advantage over most competitors sadly no one mentions: the 2.7 engine has combined injection (both direct and port), so without the issues of direct injection only engines, much more durable. Lexus RX is the only competitor with combined injection.

Great name and great new exterior but the interior is a bit bland. With just a few key upgrades they could have hit this one out of the park. Key features like a two tone leather steering wheel and a more imaginative center stack would have made all the difference at a minimal cost.
Haven't driven the Nautilus but I'd give some props to the 2.7L twin scroll turbo V6 that it shares with the Ford Edge ST. It's a great midsize SUV engine if you're looking for performance in a mainstream model.

Why people keep complaining about the center stack is beyond me! It's awesome! Same thing in my 2016 MKX and my wife and I love it! Once you have deers you could never go back! Nothing else in the class have this! I don't think it has a 12.2 inch display though LOL We Wish , they really didn't do very much interior upgrading besides the steering wheel, and the wireless charging for a cell phone, everything else is basically exactly like my 2016 , so instead of dumping 65k on a fully loaded, do what I did and buy a two or three-year-old for about half price! Oh and I think my 16 MKX also has the four-wheel-drive disconnect thing, there's a screen on the left side that shows the rear two wheels going on and off when power is needed or not needed

They probably have never had a center pass-through design in their cars. My last three Lincolns have had the pass-through console, (including my Nautilus), and I absolutely love it - that and the push button shifter to free up space.
I wonder if Lincoln is gonna get rid of all their sedans too. I heard the Continental is gonna get discontinued, and nobody is buying the MKZ.

Nathanimal 427 yea the only Continental I see is the one that parks by my job . The owner had an old Lincoln he uses for Uber and upgraded to the Continental
The gap in the dash to center console is horrendous. As big as the Grand Canyon. As mentioned, the switchgear looks like it came directly out of a Ford Focus.
Somebody (forgot who) said that Lincoln should become the American Range Rover and I'm totally okay with that
I agree with other comments that the interior, though pleasant enough, is a bit of a let down. I don’t think it even matches the XT-5, which has been around a couple of years already.
they really could have spent a few more months on the interior.
That center stack is way too ugly and cheap looking for this segment and price point.

makes a lot more sense than having a shifter on the center console trying to pretend it's a manual.

MUCH BETTER NAME
if it can't read the lane lines, it deactivates until it can. I doubt it tried to steer you into a lane when it couldn't read the lines. Also, they offer a tonneau cover for the rear so wtf are you saying there isn't any hidden storage? Bruh, this review is kinda questionable.

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you buddy, just look at Ford's stocks since 2015, and especially in last quarter 2018 their financials have taken the biggest dip in years, almost 30% in fact when compared with first quarter 2018. Add that to the fact they are dropping everything besides the Mustang in the car lineup in their home country, amd that is far from "Going strong" by any standard. Their stock value in comparison to GM is holding only about 2% higher when compared in the same fiscal timeline in this quarter. A car company that doesn't plan on selling cars in their own market isn't a good play, there's only so far they can go on F150's and Explorers, especially when they are pricing themselves out of reach for a large portion of buyers.
2.7L should be in the base and the 3.5L 450hp in the upper trims. Come on ford. Otherwise AMG all day
. . . . .few changes here and there but this is a crap ( ford ) edge. ( and yes i know , same company ). They continue mimicking thier style with the Volvo , Mazda and Land rover.
