2025 Lincoln Nautilus costs $990 more after brief 2024 run

The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus arrives this fall with a starting price of $53,000, Lincoln announced Wednesday. That’s $990 more than the redesigned 2024 Nautilus that went on sale this spring for a brief model year run. The only difference aside from a new color is the brand’s BlueCruise hands-free driving system is now standard for four years.

The five-seat crossover with a cabin as roomy as most midsize crossover SUVs carries over with either a 2.0-liter turbo-4 that produces 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, or a 310-hp hybrid system with a larger turbocharger bolted onto the turbo-4 that increases fuel economy from 24 mpg to 30 mpg combined. Last year’s Nautilus hybrid cost $1,500 more, but Lincoln didn’t specify if that upcharge would remain for 2025. 

The Nautilus competes with the Volvo XC60 that has a plug-in hybrid option, the Genesis GV70, the BMW X3, and Audi Q5.   

Every Nautilus comes with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, active lane control, blind-spot monitors, parking sensors, and a surround-view camera system. Lincoln covers the Nautilus with a 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty with lifetime roadside assistance. Hybrid components are covered for eight years or 100,000 miles.

The digital wonderwall also carries over as standard. It’s a 48.0-inch display screen curving at the base of the windshield, effectively replacing an instrument cluster and a head-up display. The base Premiere also features an 11.1-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone pairing complements it, and standard conveniences include power front seats that are heated and cooled, ambient lighting, driver seat memory, a heated power-adjustable steering wheel, and a power tailgate.

The 2025 Nautilus Reserve costs $62,120 and adds leather upholstery. The Lincoln Rejuvenate sensory chill system on the $10,000 Reserve option package. 

The Black Label tops the Nautilus lineup at $76,060. It comes with massaging seats, 22-inch wheels, an awesome Revel 28-speaker audio systems, heated rear seats, a panoramic sunroof, and adaptive dampers.

Made in China, the 2025 Nautilus is expected in the fourth quarter this year.
