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.

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

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

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.

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?
