2024 Lincoln Nautilus Consumer Reviews
Pricing
World Class Nautilus
I ordered a Premier I hybrid White Platinum with the cargo accessory and floormat package. I didn't want a sunroof or adaptive suspension since the base 19 inch rims and tires provide a comfortable and quiet ride without the need of adaptive suspension. The base 10 speaker stereo has great sound. If I normally add an option I want it to add to a vehicle not replace something. Mechanically each model is identical except on what upgrades you want such as rims seats and stereo etc. The hybrid with the electric continuous variable transmission is so smooth. I am averaging 31 mph with regular gas. The Nautilus has a real spare tire. I also received a $1500.00 smile states discount. The 48 panoramic information screen is an amazing display that you can personalize. The second row is huge and would easily hold three adults easily. The 310 horsepower is awesome. You get all of this for 52k. UPDATE: The new 2024 Nautilus Hybrid is an amazing vehicle. After 4000 miles I am averaging 33mpg with over 25% of my miles in electric mode. The panoramic dash is beautiful. The Nautilus is so comfortable and roomy. The Premier comes with so much standard equipment that I didn't want to spend thousands more for a reserve or black label. The 1500.00 option for the hybrid is the best investment.

BUYER BEWARE - it’s a joke of a car
I love my Nautilus. The cutting edge tech and aesthetics are beautiful. However, none of that matters if the vehicle does not work. Like many others, I have the hybrid model. Had several technology issues. But the primary complaint - my vehicle stopped going in the middle of the road. Busted fuel injector leading to oil spilling everywhere. Many replaced parts and a COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I am currently in a battle with Lincoln for a buy back. They have a LOT to work out on this new vehicle. Save yourself the trouble and do not buy the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus. It’s a joke.
Electronic Issues
Less than 1000 miles and it's into the shop. Radio didn't work and issues with phone hookup. They said it needed an update. At 4,000 miles, it's back to the shop. The vehicle drained the battery during the night. (4.8 volts). Again, it need another software update. On my way home, the smaller screen started flashing. Stay clear of this vehicle until all the software issues are resolved. Perhaps 2025 or 2026. Love the vehicle, but it has too many electrical problems.

Lemon or did the rest of you just get lucky
I LOVED the concept and waited 6 months to get the 2024 Nautilus Reserve Hybrid with all the bells and whistles. It’s beautiful and I love the massaging seats. That’s where it ends. I have owned my car less than a month and barely have 1k in miles (partially from having to keep sending it to the dealer which is an hour away). First it was electronic issues with the sound which seem to have been resolved. Then I noticed the phone charger actually sucks my battery. Next it was the crank case sensor. I had the car about 12 days when this alerted. The dealer had it 16 days and when I got it back I started noticing a horrible squeal when I brake. I did find a review that seemed to have the same issue that started around 900 miles. It sounds and feels awful. I have only had my car back a few days and the crank case sensor just came on again. The sales person and service manager have been very nice but this car cost me over 70k closer to 80 when all the interest and add ons and licensing was done. I am at a loss because I want to love my car but I don’t know if I got a lemon or if the rest of you just got lucky and this car is lipstick on a pig.

Loaded with technology and eye catching
I am a previous Acura, Audi and BMW owner. I also recently owned an Aviator, which I really enjoyed but the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned. The technology is state of the art. The vehicle is simply stunning looking especially in the Jet appearance package with the 22 inch wheels. The quality of finish is exceptional. It handles very nimbly, is certainly quick enough and has very low levels of cabin noise. The gas mileage is surprisingly good for a mid-sized SUV. The 48 inch wide video screen is incredible and the Blue-cruise active driver assistance feature works exceptionally well. This baby turns heads as well. I actually had a complete stranger back up 4 car lengths at a stop light and tell me what an awesome looking ride I had. That was a first. If you are thinking of purchasing a two row mid-sized SUV you owe yourself a look at the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus.
