2026 Lincoln Nautilus Trims Comparison
Which 2026 Nautilus trim does Edmunds recommend?
The entry-level Premiere trim comes packed with standard features that should easily satisfy most luxury-minded shoppers. But we'd suggest stepping up to the hybrid powertrain, not just for the fuel savings but also for the added power and performance.
2026 Nautilus trim level differences
The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus is a two-row luxury SUV available in three trim levels: Premiere, Reserve and Black Label. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque is standard in all three; it's paired with an eight-speed automatic. A hybrid setup based on the same turbocharged 2.0-liter is optional on every trim. It bumps output to 310 horsepower and uses a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). All-wheel drive is standard with both powertrains.
