World Class Nautilus

2024 Lincoln Nautilus Premiere 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

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.

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.

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

Ford quality is job zero

2024 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
74 of 81 people found this review helpful

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.

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”.
