EP 211: 2024 LINCOLN NAUTILUS, PREMIUM CAR AUDIO SYSTEMS, FISKER HALTS PRODUCTION

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus receives a thorough redesign, highlighted by a striking 48-inch continuous infotainment screen stretching across the dashboard. Despite initial concerns about distraction, the reviewer found the screen's layout, with driver-focused modules for instrumentation and static passenger-side information, to be non-distracting and well-integrated. The vehicle prioritizes a calm, quiet, and comfortable driving experience over sportiness, competing with brands like Genesis and Lexus. The interior offers luxurious features such as 24-way massaging seats and an optional 'Rejuvenate' feature combining scent, massage, and ambient lighting. While now manufactured in China, the reviewer notes this does not impact quality and may even enhance it, though it contributes to a price increase. Standard all-wheel drive and a 250-horsepower 2.0L turbo engine are offered, with a hybrid variant also available. The audio system, a Revel setup from Harman, is noted as being very good.
