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.

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.

Bought car in April, 2024. Noticed brakes draggin withn the first couple of months. Car battery died and was towed to dealer for repairs 4 times since purchase. Last time it died and was towed was Nov 18, 2024. Today, is Dec 29, 2024 and it is still there without any updates to us or sign of fixing it. Just made 2nd car payment while car is sitting dead at the dealers. My kids cars are at least 10 years old and they are driving their old cars everyday. Lincoln should be embarrassed or at least reach out to customers with these problems for update or show some kind of customer service instead we are just stuck and left on our own, and have to keep making car payments for NOTHING. (PS, Initially I loved this 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.

LOTS OF ISSUES GUYS.... PLEASE BE AWARE.... I have a 2024 Lincoln nautilus and already there is a bad rattle coming from the back of the vehicle. Took it in and Lincoln says they are aware of the issue but dont have a fix for it right now. Half the dash has went out just by going into an app. Sound on a phone call is very distorted

To add to so many other reviews. This is really a disappointing car for a pretty hefty price. Black Label looks good, but tech, brakes, quirky problems are a mess. Been in the shop so many time since purchase in April 24. The brakes grind when stopping like an old car from the 60s….new pads installed. No change. Fancy dash goes blank several times a week requiring hard restart (holding the volume knob down for 10 seconds). Seat moves forward for entry instead of back forcing driver to squeeze in….no fix available. Memory seat will not store settings. All bolster and lumbar support go zero setting after shut off and do not restore at start. Did have rattling rear shocks replaced. So many issues with this vehicle. Planning to dump it soon. Dealer Service folks are nice and state they know these are lemons and the tech promised cannot be delivered.

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.

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.

Failed system update now car won’t work

Took my 2024 Nautilus in for the window recall and the service desk asked if we would like to have the update installed that Lincoln issued. Of course, might as well while the car is there. Well the royally messed up something. Now the center console (the heart of the vehicle) won’t work and they can’t figure it out. I’ve been in a loaner car for over a month waiting to get this simple update mess resolved. Will be contacting a lemon lawyer next. Loved the car before they screwed it up…wouldn’t trust the electrical system now even if they figure it out. My guess is that they fried the electrical system with the “update”.

Our brand new 2024 Black Label Nautilus powered down and shut off in the middle of the street on the way home from the dealer. The vehicle has remained at the dealer for nearly three weeks with no end in sight. Lincoln has advised us that this problem is not unique to us and that Ford engineering is now trying to diagnose and fix this obvious safety issue. The same vehicle also had other glaring problems upon delivery, including an inability to use some electronics with two keys in the car at the same time. The solution offered by the service department was to travel with one key only since this problem exists with many of these vehicles and there is no known fix. A real nuisance, for example, if you have a husband and wife who both have a key. To make matters worse, Lincoln has also refused to provide any meaningful solution. Instead, the customer care team has advised that the Lincoln/Ford resolution is to keep our first month lease payment as well as the proceeds from our trade in while we: (1) continue to make lease and insurance payments on a vehicle that we cannot drive; (2) pay for a rental car because a loaner could not be taken out of state; and (3) otherwise experience an inconvenient and expensive run around. In short, the customer care so far generally matches the quality of the vehicle.

I have the Reseve with all the bells and whistles. I came out of the Lincoln Aviator Resrve. The first thing I noticed was the quality difference. The Nautilus has more electronic features but is not as high quality as the 2021 Aviator that I came out of. The next was the brakes, wow what a difference! The Aviator stopped on a dime and was very high quality, not so with the Nautilus.The concept on the Nautilus is great if only everything would work great. I just gave in my ca that I only have for 3 months because my speakers stopped working. If Lincoln can figure out how to fix these few things then the car would be great but as of right now I would be happy to go back to my Aviator.

This car looks nice on the outside and is comfortable. That is where the positives end. The technology system is inefficient, unreliable, and archaic under the guise of high tech (ie you need to press three separate screen panels to change the way the vents blow). Most tech focuses on “less clicks”. This car focuses on as many clicks as possible and no actual way to do anything manually. The Bluetooth is completely unreliable especially if you have multiple drivers and phones. Connectivity is less than 50% of the time, and rarely without, again, clicking multiple things. I have never regretted a car more than this one. I had a Mercedes GLC before this and it was exponentially better. I would give zero stars to this car, if I could.

The electronics in my 2024 Nautilus Reserve when utilizing the bluetooth for music through the vehicle has to be re-set consistently. I have been told multiple times there is a fix comming soon. Even after asoftware update, the electronics still require re-sets constantly. With 4K miles on my Nautilus the breaks grind to a halt! Lincoln told me it was a known issue after I purchased the vehicle and again, I heard a fix is comming soon. They have replaced the rear rotors and now have back ordered the front rotors I was told. Its embarassing when you stop and the vehicle grinds so loud, people in other cars look at you. To many little issues that should have been corrected before the car was available to sell. The vehicle has a light flapping sound when driving at low speeds that the dealership has not been able to figure out where the sound is comming from. Too much money for the issues and time my vehicle has spentin the shop!

I have had the car for just about three months now. I love how it drives and handles but hate all the rattling and squeaking noises. The dashboard video screens work sometimes but other times they don’t. You can’t turn the radio off and keep it off. Sometimes everything works but most of the time there are issues. Lincoln seems not to care about helping their customers.

Got my Navigator back from the shop on Friday, so overall I spent ten days and just over 500 miles on the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus service loaner. Think of this write up as me being a shark and the boat just threw a bucket of bloody chum in the water. This is a vehicle that I really wanted to like, as I have been dealing with the sales rep on an order for one. The best thing about it is that it is a very nicely styled vehicle, modern and not ostentatious as luxury vehicles can sometimes get. The worst thing about it is where the designers put the brake and gas pedal - far off to the right. So much so that in order to press the gas I had to have my leg canted unnaturally to the far right which was VERY uncomfortable. Oftentimes I would press the brake as the brake pedal is where my foot wants to go from nearly fifty years of driving muscle memory on literally hundreds of different vehicles. Even the service writer and sales rep have said they hear this frequently. But, when I first saw it on their lot, in the Red Carpet color that I greatly prefer, I was immediately drawn to it and with having had so many vehicles of my own, it takes a lot for me to react that way to a vehicles appearance. Overall driving it does well, quite a bit of understeer however as it did not inspire confidence going around the I-295 North to I-10 West cloverleaf that my Navigator handles much better around. In the Nav, I regularly do 35-40 on that cloverleaf, with the Nautilus it didn't like going over 30 on the same road. Fuel economy according to the dash readouts appeared to be really good at 30.4 miles per gallon, but when I filled it and calculated the MPG reality was 26.94 MPG. 524 miles using 19.45 gallons Now EVERY Ford Motor Company vehicle I have had, the MPG indicator is off by about 1-1.5 MPG, but this one was reading 3.5 MPG optimistic. Back to driving it, this one was the standard 2.0L Ecoboost 4 cylinder without the Hybrid option, and it did very well when in traffic, never an issue at speed when I needed to accelerate, which it would do quickly. However, off the line from a stop at part throttle (standard acceleration) it tended to be rather rough and struggled as I think the transmission would shift too soon taking it out of its power band. I did test drive the Hybrid engine which has the CVT transmission and 50 more HP, and it did not stumble at low speed acceleration. On the highway the adaptive cruise control worked very well - far smoother than my Navigator does. Most of the time you could not feel when it would slow for traffic ahead unless some id10t cut right in front then it would be a noticeable reduction which is what it should do. However, as I said in my first impression - I HATE THAT BlueCruise and I finally managed to get it shut off, but I had to disable nearly all of the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) functions to do so. In this vehicle - I will rename them as Annoying Driver Assistance Systems as the Lane Centering system would also move the vehicle over to the right or left when passing or being passed by another vehicle, making it seem like you are wandering all over the road. Personally I think all these Assistance Systems are making people worse drivers as they rely too much on the technology and drive as if they are infallible. Back to on the road, absolutely no wind noise unlike some other vehicles I have recently evaluated which is really good, but you do get a lot more road noise in the cabin than what I expected for a vehicle that has an active noise control system. Plus, the vehicle has sound reducing glass, but again only on the windshield and front windows - so when a semi or redneck truck with the large mudder tires would start to pass I frequently thought that the rear side windows were slightly open as it was that noticeable in the cabin. I had the opportunity to drive it in a heavy rain for about twenty miles, I have to say that I was disappointed with the performance of the Michelin tires that were on this vehicle as they did not do very well in shedding water as I was frequently hydroplaning. The headlights also need improvement or proper adjustment as they do not light up very well down the road. Simply put - forget about seeing animals or even people alongside the road at night unless the high beams are on. The seats were extremely comfortable, having multiple adjustments available for the lower cushions as well as side bolsters and lumbar positioning. They also have a fantastic multi-mode massage function that both the driver and the front seat passenger can choose from. The only issue I found with the massage function is the very top fingers extend too far out when massaging in each mode. The audio system (when it was working as it was intermittent) was also fantastic. It had the Revel Ultima system with 28 speakers, and it was always clear even up to full volume. It is more of a concert hall type of system, so it does not always give the hard edge that some rock songs are meant for - especially in the bass department but even with that minor detraction it is a great sound system. Not sure why it would just cut out on occasion - maybe the chinese were spying on me at the time since it is a chinese built vehicle. 86% of the vehicle sourced in china. With that - I will go on to the very obvious areas that make one realize it is a cheap chinese product. The carpet in this vehicle is the cheapest I have ever seen in a vehicle. Even the base Kia Forte has better carpet than this $70k+ Lincoln. There is ZERO pile to it, and it looks to be the same junk they use in the cargo area. And the premium floor mats are even cheaper. When I first picked this up, I thought that they must be some cheap universal mats the service department puts in to their service loaners, but then I turned one over to vacuum and it was the OEM Lincoln mat. Heck, the under $20 cheap floor mat set from wallymart are much better than these were, as they were already showing wear from my boots in the 500 miles I had it. Speaking further on the subject of cheap materials, there is a phrase collision centers use when insurance companies specify low cost aftermarket panels to repair a vehicle and that phrase is Taiwan Tin because it is so thin and cheap. Sadly, I think the panels on this vehicle were made from the Taiwan Tin rejects, because when I went to wash off the July 4th firework residue, the roof and hood would deflect with just the wash mitt going over it. The interior layout is at first glance unusual, with a rectangular steering wheel and that full width dash that is right up under the windshield. I found that it works out well, since the gauges are set so that they act almost like a heads up display without being a HUD unit. And being able to choose what information I want (if any) on the right hand side was not a distraction like I initially thought it would be. The complaint I have on the setup is that the very center would not show your map/navigation unless you actually had a route set in. And another major issue I found - it would frequently not recognize my iPhone and CarPlay either in wireless, or the USB cable. So several times I had to delete my iphone and re-enable it. And as a final coup de gras was on the way back to the dealer, up on the dash very prominently came an ominous warning: Drive Control Fault,Service Required At least I found out that you can fit 39 bags of mulch inside one!!

I have a 2024 Reserve package Nautilus. 3 months later I’m trading it it. If you’re over 6’0 tall there is very little drivers side leg room (I’m 6’ 4”). The bigger problem is the software. Soooo many glitches. Today for whatever reason it did a factory reset and I lost all my radio presets and other profile info. This is the first American made car that I’ve had in over 30 years and it will be my last. Lesson learned

2024 Nautilus . This is my third nautilus . The others have great. I actually switched from Mercedes . The heads up display is unreadable when the sun hits it. Actually unsafe while driving if you need to change AC , Radio etc Electronics are poor. Intermittently can turn radio on . Car post and Bluetooth are intermittent . Click changes in its own from 12 to 24 hours . Bluetooth connection does not always work Then console ( settings etc ) are very hard to navigate .. too cute by a half Truly disappointing. Something is drastically wrong with the design here. Unfortunately It will probably my last Lincoln

Tech comfort and efficiency for the win. If you are shopping for a new car in this class you owe it to yourself to take the Nautilus for a test drive. We shopped many other brands and kept coming back to the Lincoln Nautilus. The new design and standard safety features helped us make our decision. We found that many other brands offered different packages to get some of the same features that are standard on the Nautilus. The 2.0l has good power and smooth shifts. The base seats on the Reserve package are very comfortable. While everyone has different taste, the Nautilus is comfortable and turns heads. I’m glad we test drove multiple cars in this class before making our decision.

Blue Cruise driving is pretty amazing. Quiet cabin, slick, smooth ride. This car has an amazing turning radius. So comfortable. The back has out of this world leg room. Who can neglect to mention the technology?! 48 inch screen, amazing sound system, heated and cooled seats in even the base model. Lincoln has hit this one out of the park. Even gets better than expected gas mileage on regular gas!

Great vehicle once you get used to all the options. But at certain highway speeds there seems to be a thumping / rattling noise that I cannot find... Anyone else hearing this type of noise almost like something loose under the vehicle? Took it in to have checked and of course the noise wasnt happening and even on the test drive, but yep its still there...

Why am I focusing on comfort? The seats are magnificent! My wife and I were stuck in the winter on I95 in Virginia without moving for 26 hours. At the end of that experience we were very impressed with the seat comfort and how we had no aches or pains. I can’t say that about my Lazy Boy. Turbo and transmission provide plenty of pep. Gas version gives 26 MPH on the highway. A joy to drive I never get tired of driving it. We get plenty of compliments.

Lack of actual owners manual, only online access. On a $70,000 vehicle, this is a must with all the technology. I'm accustom to a manual to read, and not ONLINE. GET WITH IT lincoln !!!. Another complaint is foot and pedal space...too tight for mens feet. Designers obviously have SMALL feet. No problem with my 21 Aviator I traded...

I love to drive this hybrid suv , it’s fun and responsive , amazing technology more loaded than my previous continental black label , soft steering wheel and incredible suspension, the size is perfect for a small family of 4 , you can schedule a tutorial via video call to learn how to control the technology which it’s impressive all options.

The transmission feels like it’s struggling. Going from 0-30 it struggles and shifts so many times. The car is the worse driving car I’ve ever owned. The suspension is also terrible - it is literally a bouncy ride the whole time. Whoever sent this vehicle out of production as finished should be fired. I do not recommend. Sad because we love Lincoln cars but they have failed horribly on this one.

We have a 2019 Navigator that has rendered excellent service. I have owned Q56 and Denali SUV and several Lexus LS. The Navigator is the best. So after researching the prospective 2024 Nautilus we decided to trade in my wifes Volvo for a Reserve model. For the Pros; the car is beautiful, extremely comfortable, quiet, plenty of power, lots of cargo room, great turning radius, nice audio, and really effective driver assistance, (once you figure out the controls). The Cons; piano shifter, (don't like it on the Navigator either), the instrument panel is too dark and is subject to glare from the flat dashboard in front, assisted driving engagement controls are not marked on the steering wheel, the tech is overly complicated and is very inconvenient and dangerous to have to study the touch screen while driving. We still like the car and maybe in a couple of years we will learn how to operate it. It is a very good buy for a young person.

it’s a good car over all after 5000miles driving,only problem i had was once camera not working when i manually turned it on,some error popped up on the screen keeps telling me something goes wrong,but it’s go back to function normal after i restarted system(press the volume button for 10sec).it’s a hybrid powertrain so i get a good 32mpg in this first 5000miles,the interiors are astonishing since my last car was a honda accord hybrid.one of my friend told me the 2024 nautilus had some issues but my 2025 seems ok and i hope it keeps that way.

What sold us on the Nautilus versus our other consideration, a 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum, was a smoother, solid feeling ride and the luxury accommodations, especially the dash display. The option of getting into a hybrid and saving gas was also an attractive feature. Although we sacrificed some extra storage space in the Explorer, we thought the appearance and efficiency of the Nautilus worked better for us. The redesigned 2025 Nautilus impressed us as more quiet and luxurious than tho 2022 Nautilus we also drive. I did hesitate going with the 2025 Nautilus when I learned it is manufactured in China. At least I’m supporting an American based company?

I like this car but my Apple CarPlay constantly disconnects. Screen is not as user friendly as the previous 2. If they ever get the bugs worked out I will love it. It is a beautiful automobile just not sure about it yet
Mostly Nice

The test model was a very low end Premier model, not what I would actually purchase so missing many of the features that would improve drive ability. Likes: dashboard screen distance perfect for my prescription function screen intuitive and easy to figure out and use Good visibility Good acceleration Very quiet Dislikes: Narrow seat Headrest pushes head and neck forward too much Seat not very cushy/comfy Road roughness/suspension

This app is a complete waste. Every time I want to use it, it is “battery saver mode”. I have called on different times, and they all tell me that because it is an “hybrid”, I have to make longer trips. They should explained this before I bought the Nautilus.
Gorgeous with Fun Tech

Red Reserve II with Hybrid upgrade, $65k out the door. It feels luxurious, rides nice and has some cool technology. It also falls short in a few places. The Shortcomings The driver seat sits up too high. Because of the 4 foot dash, you need to sit high so you can see out the windshield. But it's too high for someone tall-waisted like me. The two tiny dome lights are too bright and distracting. To get them dimmed, you have to turn down the adjustment so far that the rest of the dash is too dim. The brakes sometimes grab hard when you first start driving. This startled me. The techie vent controls are mentioned often as being ridiculous. In general, the controls on the smaller screen such as AM/FM, map view options, change radio stations, go to Calm mode, etc. are hard to see, prone to a touching error and distracting to the point of causing an accident. The standard floor mats and carpet are poor quality. The warning tones, such as seatbelt not fastened, are abusive. The Good Stuff It looks fantastic. I get compliments are the time. The 4 foot screen is impressive. The interior feels luxurious (except the carpet). It gets good mileage (31 or so on the highway as advertised) It has a fluffy ride yet accelerates well. The road noise is minimal. The seats are comfortable. The sound system (Rebel) is great. The dedicated volume button is good. The dedicated camera button is good. The intermittent wipers work well. Blue Cruise is awesome. I didn't think I'd use it but I do. It allows me to focus on upcoming traffic rather than staying centered in the lane and staying right at a particular speed. The Google maps integration is fantastic. You have 2 maps and great audio. The seats are roomy in front and back and the storage area is large. I like the braking coach. It tells you when you're breaking efficiently (or inefficiently). I've taken it on (2) 3-4 hour trips and the trips were satisfying and didn't make me tired. Overall, I am happy with my decision. For trips, the Blue Cruise is a game-changer and I love the looks, the regular gas and the great mileage. UPDATE: I've owned the Nautilus Reserve II hybrid for 9 months. I love it. It turns heads. It gets good mileage (29/31). The interior is luxurious. It is roomy. The ride is soft but I'm getting older so that's ok. It accelerates fine with the hybrid. The 48in screen impresses. The blue cruise works great. On the weaker side, the seat sits a little high. The brakes are a little grabby when you press hard. The vent controls are dumb. But overall, I still love getting into the car. I get compliments on the styling all the time. The integration of google maps is awesome. For example, I planned a trip on my desktop at home, doing many searches for the hotels, points of interest, etc. As we took the trip, the navigation system sometimes popped up the next destination "automatically", as if it knew the next stop. I got out of a sporty sedan for this and it's been a good transition for me.

Quiet on the road, great sound system, solid performance and fuel economy. The massage seats are great, as well as BlueCruise.
Nautilus for the win!

I have never driven a car with this much tech and luxury. Lexus and BMW beware. America has a luxury car that delivers on elegance with style. I am in love with the car. It's nice to have a car that everyone has not paid attention. Folks are now paying attention as it is the 2025 Motor Trend SUV of the year. Proud owner here...
