What Is the 2023 Lincoln Nautilus?

The 2023 Lincoln Nautilus is a mid-size luxury SUV with two rows of seats, a choice of turbo four-cylinder or V-6 engines, and front- or all-wheel drive. For SUV shoppers who want a relaxed and hushed ride, the calm demeanor of the Nautilus could be a perfect match. It doesn’t have the taut suspension and pinpoint handling of some rivals, but the Nautilus has a base price that’s notably less expensive than many similarly sized premium SUVs. A roomy cabin and large cargo hold are further pluses, as are the intuitive Sync 4 infotainment system and 13.2-inch touchscreen.

What’s New on the 2023 Lincoln Nautilus?

Lincoln has added a new Premium Package for the entry-level Standard trim level. This includes features like navigation, a universal garage door opener and a power-adjustable steering column. Other than that, the 2023 Nautilus is unchanged save a new exterior color, Jewel Sandstone.

What Features in the 2023 Lincoln Nautilus Are Most Important? 

Standard features include:

  • 13.2-inch touchscreen
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster
  • Wi-Fi hot spot
  • Satellite radio
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • 10-speaker audio system
  • Automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning
  • Blind spot warning
  • Rear cross-traffic alert
  • Pedestrian detection
  • Lane departure steering assist

Available features include:

  • Leather seats
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Navigation
  • Wireless device charging
  • Panoramic moonroof
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Surround-view parking camera
  • Adaptive suspension
  • 19-speaker Revel audio system

Should I Buy the 2023 Lincoln Nautilus?

The Lincoln Nautilus is a strong contender among five-seat luxury SUVs, especially for anyone who prioritizes driving comfort over pure sportiness. The standard 250-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder is more than adequate, but the extra passing oomph from the optional 335-hp, 2.7-liter turbo V-6 make it a worthy upgrade. The Nautilus also has a handsome cabin that only gets better when you upgrade to a Reserve or Black Label trim.

My new 2023 Lincoln Nautilus!

I’ve been driving a Lincoln since 1999 but always a sedan. My last sedan was the 2017 Continental. It’s unfortunate that model is no longer made and sold in the U.S. I decided to trade in my high mileage 2017 for a new small SUV and decided on the Nautilus. It’s perfect for me as I don’t like driving a huge truck like vehicle! It has all the options I like and I truly enjoy driving it. I’ve had it for two weeks and I’m truly impressed with its handling and performance! The Revel sound system is awesome! Well done Lincoln!

Lincoln, Great Car

The car rides and handles very well. Quiet ride, comfortable seats, plenty of room inside, legroom, headroom. Gas mileage is very good. It's a great value for your dollar. I would recommend this car to everyone.
