2025 LINCOLN NAUTILUS HYBRID REVIEW - MADE IN CHINA, FEELS LIKE LEXUS

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid, particularly the Black Label trim, offers a compelling blend of luxury and technology, though its high price point raises questions about value. The reviewer is impressed by the quiet, smooth hybrid powertrain, which delivers 310 horsepower and is reminiscent of Lexus hybrids. The interior is a standout, featuring a massive panoramic display, massaging seats (though noted as loud and average), and high-quality materials, evoking a sense of traditional Lincoln comfort. However, the reviewer criticizes the infotainment system's implementation, the lack of steering wheel customization, and the placement of vents. While the ride quality is praised for its floaty, comfortable nature, the 'Excite' mode is deemed too stiff for a luxury vehicle. The reviewer strongly recommends the hybrid powertrain but advises against the $82,000 Black Label trim, suggesting a mid-range Premiere or Reserve model around $50,000-$60,000 as a much better value proposition, even comparing it favorably to more expensive competitors when priced appropriately.
