THE 2024 LINCOLN NAUTILUS HYBRID IS HIGHLY IMPROVED LUXURY SUV WITH SPOT-ON POWER & TECH

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid is presented as a significant step forward for the brand, aiming to rival established luxury players like Lexus. The reviewer highlights its elegant and modern exterior design, particularly the 'Red Carpet Metallic' exclusive to the Reserve trim, and the futuristic lighting sequences. Inside, the standout feature is the massive 48-inch pillar-to-pillar display, praised for its integration and functionality, though the steering wheel design receives mixed feedback. The reviewer is particularly impressed with the build quality, noting its exceptional fit and finish, even with the vehicle being assembled in China. The hybrid powertrain, delivering 310 combined horsepower, is commended for its refinement, quiet operation, and impressive fuel economy (averaging around 30 MPG city, 33 MPG highway), offering a real-world range close to 500 miles. While not a performance-oriented vehicle, its comfortable ride, adaptive dampers, and spacious interior, especially the generous rear legroom, are key strengths. Criticisms include the lack of ventilated rear seats and manual sunshades, and the key fob feeling too similar to Ford's. Overall, the Nautilus is deemed a game-changer for Lincoln, offering a compelling blend of luxury, technology, and efficiency that could sway buyers from European and Japanese competitors.
