A week-long test drive of the Lincoln Nautilus flaunted the cabin’s abundant luxury attributes. For instance, if the driver (or front passenger) feels a bit stressed, a seat massage can melt away the tension. Circular, rolling, pulse, and two other massage modes await activation via the midsize SUV’s 11.1-inch center touchscreen. Other touchscreen interface points include ambient interior lighting color choices for the door panels as well as choice of aromatic digital scents. New for the 2025 Nautilus, all trim levels (Premiere, Reserve, Black Label) provide a four-year subscription to BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology as standard fare.

The tested Nautilus sported the optional powertrain, a hybrid configuration employing a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and a 100 kW electric motor to elicit 310 horsepower and 295 torque. Power is channeled via a continuously variable transmission. Nautilus features a gorgeous, easy-to-read curved full dash display spanning 48 inches as well as loads of space for back seat riders (43.1-inch rear legroom) and cargo (more than 71 cubic feet with 60/40-split rear seat folded). The tested 114.2-inch wheelbase 2025 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label with all wheel drive and panoramic vista roof carries a base MSRP of $74,950 and collects estimated mpg of 30 city and 31 highway.
