A very quiet, comfortable and delightful SUV.

My 2021 Nautilus an extremely capable, comfortable and quiet vehicle. The car is even more quiet on the freeway than my 2017 Continental was - and it was very quiet. The Nautilus is a delight to drive and has lots of leg room and head room (I am 6' 6"). The seats are very comfortable and have excellent adjustments to fit any size person. I love the push button gear selector and easy to use controls on the steering wheel and center console. I bought the model without the sun roof because the sun is so hot in Florida I never used the last sun roof I had and it also let in a lot of heat. Not having the sunroof also gives me extra headroom. Everything about the Nautilus feels like quality. I ordered the turbo four cylinder engine and it has more than enough power. The car is responsive and quick and fun to drive. Acceleration and braking are excellent. I like the automatic fold-down rear seats that greatly increase the rear cargo space. I think this is an excellent quality vehicle and I fully expect it to be as reliable and trouble free as my previous two Lincolns. The Nautilus comes with a 4 year warranty and that is a nice back up to have if there ever is a problem. I think this is a beautiful vehicle and get many compliments on it. The only thing I would suggest to Lincoln is to offer some more color choices for the interior. The beige leather is beautiful and very nice, but I would have chosen blue or red if those colors were available. I have been extremely pleased with my Lincoln dealer over the years. They do a great job and are very customer focused. This is my third Lincoln after owning many high end European luxury cars. The Lincoln is as good or better than those cars and much less expensive for maintenance and repairs. If you are looking for a top quality SUV, you should give the Nautilus a look. UPDATE: I love my 2021 Nautilus. It is attractive, quick, quiet, comfortable and handles well. The seats are very comfortable and the Synch system is easy to use and does many things. It gets 21.6 mpg around town. So far everything works exactly like it did when new. I have had zero issues. This is perfect sized crossover and very well made with quality materiels.

Had no intention of buying a Lincoln. Had found a Cadillac XT5 that I liked. Decided on the way to finalize the deal to stop at the Lincoln dealer. Very glad I did. I drove it 1/2 a block and fell in love with it. Bought it that afternoon. One month and still excited to drive anywhere. “Buttery” smooth drive. Exceptionally quiet interior. Lots of tech to learn. Well done Lincoln!!

We just purchased a 2021 Nautilus. With 1500 miles we are on a road trip and the electronics go haywire. Our Lincoln App (that they are so proud of) shows 102 errors with the car. While 3 hours from home the AC doesn't work - the steering wheel goes up and down the blind side assist doesn't work - the back hatch doesn't open, etc. We call their concierge service and spend an hour on the phone for the lady to tell us we have problem and it needs service ASAP at the nearest Lincoln dealership. Now we are in Michigan 200 miles from home on a Sunday holiday weekend and they don't open until Tuesday. She said we could try and limp the $60,000 car home and she would get us an appointment as soon as possible. So today (4 days later) they call with an appointment Oct 27th, (48 days from now). Hard to believe.

The Screen is fantastic, interior features flow, display info integrated into front gauge panel as well. Seats amazing, with the air cooling even in Texas heat my car is cool and comfortable within a minute. Cabin is quiet, drive smooth, power exceptional (6cyl), features are intuitive. This weeks favorite feature is turning off ignition automatically puts car in park so 1 push and done when parking. 1 year update- Still love my car. Comfort is superior, seat heater plus massage let's you tune out everything and relax as a passenger. I feel confident in the power abd acceleration available while still offering the smooth comfort of a Lincoln. Few glitches with phone connection, hoping to have it corrected in first service appt.

Not up to what I expected from a Lincoln

I have a new 2021 Nautilus and am extremely disappointed in this auto. The backup camera has already been replaced and is still terrible and glitchy. The radio will occasionally come on of its own accord, the windshield wipers will randomly start, and the trunk has tried to close on me three times. The worst is probably the wind noise when driving - it's bad enough that I worry about it developing leaks. I like the large screen but wish that it could be more customized to have the most used features on the first screen. Overall the ride is nice (but noisy) and the seats are cushy which is appreciated. I'm not pleased at all with my Nautilus and am very disappointed. **Update Sept 2022** Still experiencing issues with the audio system and the wind noise.
