The Nautilus is my favorite Lincoln vehicle out of all the Lincoln SUVs they have, i love those cool looking door handles that the Continental sedan use to have.
They tried that; they don't sell. I love my G70 3.3T sedan, but I've never been an SUV guy. I wish they'd keep making sedans, but alas, they're becoming unique.
@@titaniumspecial4207 panther platform wouldnt conform to new crash standards without a major redo, they tried Town Car on the MKT. most people in the US dont like cars. Id drive this and I hate SUV/CUVs.. but Ill stick with my Mark V and Mark VII.
@@yejoonyang9552 Thank you. Yes, I know and that makes it even more maddening. Lincoln/Ford has made an unfortunate marketing/sales mistake, IMHO. The Japanese and German manufacturers are filling the void...for now.
I don’t understand why it needs to be either. Because atleast in the case of the Buick Envision, Buick does sell more cars in China and the Envision is especially popular there. But from what I can tell that’s not the case with Lincoln and actually Lincoln is struggling in China. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.
@@rustlesee I love the crowd that pops up every time new technology comes out to say that it will break. Electric headlamps were new, innovative and expensive technology when they were introduced. Seems to have worked out fine.
I've replaced no less than a dozen oem touchscreen radios that have failed in less than 10 years in customer cars. Some of these units will likely be no different, other than the obscene cost of replacement.
@glanzera I work on friends occasionally, I can only imagine what the real world failure rate is. When they cost at least $1,200 a piece, the owners hardly found it negligible. This Lincoln full dash unit will be way more expensive.
@@johnsonaustinj Oh come on...🤣 I was semi joking, but fine. Let's play a little game. It's called "Phone Or Infotainment"...which am I describing, phone or infotainment?: Touchscreen, provides navigation, plays music, shows your text messages and phone calls. Infotainment or phone?
@@mercuryrising9390 How tf does it make any sense to ban HOLDING something while driving? We can hold a drink, food, etc...holding it doesn't draw your attention away from the road, USING IT, just like you use infotainment, does.
IMO, this is one great looking vehicle. However, it's overpriced especially for a 4-cylinder. At this price, I would rather go with something else from the competition or move up to the Aviator with their 6-cylinder. Lincoln needs to go reevaluate their prices especially for the Black Label.
Hahahaha that screen! We've really been suckered in by the automotive industry into believing that huge screens are an important part of the driving experience. My screen is bigger than yours! 😂🤣
If Made in China wasn’t bad enough… a CVT transmission coupled with a twinky-engine makes this all but desirable. It’s almost like Ford is being told by the powers that be to make this doa?
I have a 2020 Aviator Black Label. Gorgeous car and I love driving it (when it's not at the dealership for a warranty repair) - but quality is no better than the Range Rover it replaced. So disappointing. Hopefully the Nautilus is screwed together a bit better.
I have my 2017 mkz hybrid. 105k miles. 42 mpg. I've considered getting a Lincoln suv hybrid. But I wouldn't be too happy about losing 12 mpg. Why they stopped making the mkz is beyond me.
Yeah, I kinda chucked when John Davis said 'fine corintian leather'. I'm guessing it was sourced from either Corinth, TX or Corinth, MS. Not the european one.
Not the biggest fan of Ford but at least Lincoln is no longer just a Ford in a slightly nicer shirt. Not sure I would trust all that tech in a Ford but again, it looks pretty slick.
What a waste of sheet metal. Made in China, with a GIANT screen taking up what used to be the dashboard. I cant wait to see the repair bills when those fail. We just keep going backwards in design and function.
Must see in person' touch points and materials top notch, seat massage are very good, potential buyers should keep long-term reliability and driving experience in mind. Feel the Base engine option needs at least 320hp.
The Black Label price increase is insane. You would think you’re getting a high output performance version for that kind of money. $76,000 for a Ford eco boost four cylinder is ridiculous.
Made in China and a CVT are both reasons I will not upgrade my MKX to a Nautilus. Oh, and 21" wheels with little side wall completely ruin the comfortable ride.
Beautiful! for once and Finally. Now fix that damn ugly Nausiator (Navigator). PHEV Lincoln.. come on! I still miss the Town Car and COntinental.. and I still own wagons.. but even Id drive this. Nice to see you in Palm Springs and driving up 74 towards Idyllwild on Palms to Pines Parkway. Fun mountain road. AND my 2023 Corvette has a squared off wheel, at first I thought it was weird but turns out to feel really good and more natural.
Mercury and Pontiac should still be around. Oldsmobile was becoming obsolete because Buick had the same market. Lincoln should be challenging BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Cadillac. Right now, it is more of a competitor to near luxury brands like Acura, Audi, and Buick.
It's really sad, I'm an active 29yr Ford Kentucky Truck Plant employee getting close to retirement, I'm was having a hard time deciding between a new Explorer or Lincoln Nautilus for my retirement vehicle, I love the new look, but sad to say the Nautilus lost, made in China lost my purchase.
Hey Gordon you gotta learn to pay attention. 21 29 24 vs 30 31 30... That's 9 more mpg in the city, 2 more mpg on the hwy, and 6 more mpg combined. But i don't think they used the hybrid for more mpg so much as more hp but without lowering the mpg... Basically like the Infiniti q50 hybrid.
I dig the new look but not the single engine choice. I would have liked the model better with the option of the previous 2.7 turbo V6. Not sure why Ford would move their operations from Canada 🇨🇦 to China 🇨🇳 We'll see if these hope for cost savings proves worthy with quality. Hopefully they put that money into their products rather then their already deep pockets ✌🏽🇺🇲
Oh this model threw yall off huh? Couldn’t remember what ford vehicles to tell the audience it’s based off of? Ford isn’t the only manufacturer to have shared platforms for luxury cars, stop referring to cars shared with it cause they vary from all kinds of models that aren’t directly related. This is actually Ford’s C platform that is under the Corsair, escape, bronco sport, focus, maverick and all other euro models in this Compact to midsize segment.
Nice looking vehicle, interior…….but I can just see the faces of the potential buyers in all the Flyover states when they learn “ASSEMBLED IN CHINA”. 🤷🏼♂️😂🤷🏼♂️😂
Side profile is a design ripoff from the Mazda CX-90. The Lincoln is built in China. The Mazda is built in Japan, and it's cheaper. Knowing all this why would anyone buy the Lincoln?
I wish they'd have really done an update. An E-CVT is hardly an update. They should have put the electric motor between the engine and an 8 speed automatic. Crappy Variable Timebombs are NOT my favorite.
Disappointing that Ford decided on a 4 cylinder turbo with a crummy CVT. I don’t get why automakers are using (unreliable in the long term) turbo drivetrains. My 2022 Nissan Frontier with a naturally aspirated V6 gets nearly as good gas mileage as the Nautilus. The Frontier has a 9 speed automatic…a real transmission. I would NEVER spend $50K+ on a 4 pot turbo w CVT.
The interior, headlights, and taillights look like this will be a popular vehicle for DJs, rap artists, and those who like to put loud boomboxes in the rear cargo section.
For a midsized Luxury SUV, there are two big misses. 1. Built in china. You have to be kidding me. 2. No turbo V6 option. Only 2.0 turbo 4 or hybrid. I will pass
Avoid. A CVT in a luxury car is kind of offensive. The screens are useless, one of them is a clock, one of them gives you the temperature, one has the music playing. You will quickly realize how useless these screens are, although yes, they do look nice. The giant knob on the console is not a control knob, does not allow you to navigate the multiple screens. It's just a volume knob, which makes it incredibly useless to be that big and take up that much space. The front fascia is actually fairly attractive, I give you that. The rest of the vehicle design suffers from Lincoln's perennial design cowardice and determination to be as milquetoast as possible, I presume to try to appeal to the widest possible audience of people with low imagination. Virtually all of their vehicles look generic. A car named car. Resale value plummets almost immediately. Wait 2 to 3 years and you'll be able to pick this up for half price somewhere. For the same amount of money you could pick up an Infiniti QX80, a real car, whose multiple screens all work together, including forming an extra wide 180° front view spanning the entire width of the screens including the dash panel in front of the driver, allowing you to literally see around corners. A much smarter implementation of this concept. The Lincoln version is showy and, yes, looks great until you realize it's pretty useless.
Of course they are making them in China, that's where they sell them. Why ship 150k to China when you can just ship 50k to the U.S., Canada, and Mexico? It's why Toyota builds here. Mercedes, BMW ETC.
Unions. You ask for a 100% raise, get 40, and what does everyone think will happen? No auto maker wants to sell a $100K midsize vehicle. They're going to sit on the lot, just like the EVs.
The Nautilus is my favorite Lincoln vehicle out of all the Lincoln SUVs they have, i love those cool looking door handles that the Continental sedan use to have.
One of the best looking SUV’s on the road today in my opinion
NOT
Exterior looks nice. Just don't like it being made in china. 🙄
UAW workers want $100k per year to assemble it
Not usually a fan of Ford/Lincoln design, but they did a great job on this...inside and out.
How 'bout a 4-door sedan version, Lincoln Motor Company? And manufacture them in the USA! 🖖

Is this the Explorer chassis? 3:40 the engine look like it's transverse so I guess not.
the Aviator is
Based on the global C2 platform (escape, bronco sport, Mach-E, etc). Stretched/modified for use in this lincoln
This is the C2(Escape), but the CD6 platform is modular and can accommodate transverse layouts

Whats the word on the ecvt transmission. Is it a dud?
They're typically regarded as more robust than traditional automatics or belt/cone driven CVTs as they have less moving parts.
Beautiful car😍
What happened to the acceleration and handling tests?
They did this test away from their track
@@moejr1974Correct. This test was shot outside of Palm Springs, CA.

The "Piano key shifter" is where they lost me, can't we have our good old shift lever?

And 60 extra horsepower.
