Lincoln’s midsize luxury SUV enters the new model year with a wider grille, signature lighting, and new paint choices, while more than half of all Nautilus sales continue to come from its hybrid powertrain variant, according to the brand.
Exterior Updates and Wheel Options
Slimmer rear tail lamps amplify the vehicle badging, while a redesigned hood and sculpted fenders give the SUV a more confident stance. Buyers can choose from five distinct wheel options ranging from 19 to 22 inches depending on the selected trim.
To deepen exterior customization, Lincoln is introducing the Jet Appearance Package, which applies a glossy black treatment to the grille and exterior accents. Two new exterior colors also debut for the model year: Nocturnal Blue, a frosty blue featuring added chroma available on any trim level, and Frosted Fig, a plum-purple reserved exclusively for the top-of-the-line Black Label trim.
Curated Interior Themes
Inside the cabin, Lincoln curates colors, textures, and digital displays around cohesive design themes. For the Premiere and Reserve trims, drivers can now select from Afterglow, Black Onyx, and Hot Chocolate. The Afterglow theme offers a lighter aesthetic, whereas Black Onyx pairs a full black lower panel against a lighter upper cabin.
Meanwhile, Black Label models gain two exclusive themes. Eminent Hour draws inspiration from a desert sunset, utilizing warm stitching, perforations, wood accents, and ebony details to foster tranquility. Elysian Light evokes a sunrise over water through cloud-like leather, soft blue accents, and pearlescent-inspired details.
Wellness Features and Powertrain Options
To enhance cabin relaxation, the Lincoln Rejuvenate system combines visuals, audio, seat positioning, and climate control into a single multisensory experience designed for a parked reset. The Renew Package pairs with Rejuvenate to deliver seat massage capabilities on the Reserve trim.
Every 2027 Nautilus includes four years of the Lincoln Security Package and standard BlueCruise 1.5 technology. The vehicle remains available in both gas and hybrid configurations, with hybrids accounting for the majority of Nautilus purchases.
