So good to see John Davis behind the wheel. He's amazing. And I like it that Lincoln isn't chasing the damn Germans, focusing on giving buyers style, comfort, rolling smoothness, and quiet. Life is hard enough, its nice to be coddled while stuck in traffic 🙃
If Lincoln refuses to make traditional ICE sedans anymore they should at least make a fully electric Continental to compete with the Tesla Model S. No one does interiors like Lincoln and without having to worry about fuel economy they could build a big luxurious electric sedan that looks the part. LETS SEE IT HAPPEN LINCOLN!
Imo, the interior of this Lincoln looks better than many Cadillacs at least just short of the Escalade, but I can't see myself paying over $70k on the top end though.
Exactly. It’s a nice vehicle, but once you rack up the options you start looking at other models even within the Ford Lincoln brand. I think the rwd Aviator ranges from around $55,000 to $83,000ish. The prices overlap significantly and the Aviator has 75 extra horsepower for roughly the same price, maybe with few less options checked. Same mpg as well.
@@EricFortuneJr. Hello Eric. I agree with you as well and now that I think about it the Telluride and Palisade look like bargains. Of course assuming, those are a consideration and if you can find one equipped like you want.
Turbos can be spun by 48volt 5mins boost button push or dual pulley cvt or by compressed air system & u hve way to fill tires or suspension towing/loading/leveling bags.
Same engine 8 vs 10 speed gets night & day diff 0 to 60 mph time Bronco is over geared. The turbos need to be able to turned off or on eco vs performance to help pass min mpg of 20/21 combined city & hwy time new product came to market. It needs manual shift option by paddles as added help if climbing or towing or track or towing. Best setup is a transfer case low & high range b4 trans so if towing your geared low range but when at sea level high geared eco mode.
Sheesh ! 5.8 for this is phenomenal! I’m impressed I’ve always loved this platform and Edge/MKX Models this is the same platform as the first gen mkx right ? Anyway I would love to have a nautilus I might have to take a test drive 😌😌
@@kbw.rvwhntr I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but modern Lincolns have numerous reliability problems, literally at the bottom of reliability rankings right now. Sucks because their vehicles seem pretty good otherwise.
@@CrazyWeeMonkey I hear all of that but for some reason I would rather settle for a Lincoln because of luxury features and ride quality. No vehicle is perfect and there's a lot of them which I won't mention that I would not trust, so much so leading to a decision to lease to avoid long term expensive maintenance.
Is It Reliable? Honestly asking before dropping this crazy amount of money. I know the competitor RX is reliable. Anyone have any experience with this Nautilus? Scared it’s a nice looking money drain.
That was my worry too. I was looking at an Aviator but after having multiple friends with them it’s skeptical. Half had problems, 1 had a lemon buyback, the other half love the car and have had no problems. With the lawsuit against the 2.7 and 3.0 motors I wouldn’t go for it anymore. Such nice cars, unpredictable reliability and longevity
@@evansilander9418 I ended up cancelling my order - too much uncertainty. Toyota just needs to make the same car with the same driving dynamics and I’m sold lol
I currently have a 2022 Nautilus in my sights! I have for my age had few vehicles. I had a Volvo for 27 years which met it's end in a collision. A short lived Volvo V40 (too small noisy Mitsubishi build) , and a Volvo XC90 (which two new engines later...) influenced my choice of a used Mercedes ML350 which was quite possibly the best handling car I've owned. It did how ever distress me more than other cars. I frequently came back to a "dead car" cost me more in service appointments $6,000 for an electrical issues. far more than car payments in the same period. The electrical problem was still not diagnosed when I declined to drive it off the dealers lot and instead opted for a used 2012 Ford Escape as substitute rather than depart the dealers lot once again with the Mercedes. I've now had the Escape for 8 years, it's been the most reliable cost effective vehicle I've ever owned since my first Volvo. Given it's a domestic vehicle built in Canada, I'd opt for this (Ford - Lincoln) Nautilus above all the other brands/imports available.
I was able to get a Continental 2018 when I had a chance and it has been the best sedan I have ever owned. I am now 70 years old, so I have had a sh--load of vehicles. 400 hp in this model is perfect for me. I do hope the SUV craze quits and luxury sedans rule the road again. Come on Lincoln expand your line up of vehicles.
Lincoln needs a hybrid, AWD, turbo 6, BIG SEDAN hatch.. Think new Town Car based on the dimensions of a Mercedes S or Audi A8 but with a hatch. What a hit! The recent Continental was such a disappointment. I had one (2017) and traded it. The seats were awful... squeaks and rattles in the center console... door latches needed a recall... OMG.
Nice car but I just can't stand the black plastic trim wrapped around the bottom of the vehicle, this is supposed to be a luxury vehicle and luxury vehicles shouldn't be wrapped in cheap plastic.
in the video, the tire/wheel combination looks huge. Also the screen has no volume knob. The front end looks good. wonder if the bar between the rear tail lights light up

Agreed 100%. Lincoln seems to have lost touch with its buyer demographic. I can't believe any of them are clamoring for iPads sprouting out of the dashboard. And those digital instruments, too... ugh.
Ok LINCOLN time 2 think 🤔 outside the box what start with bring back a new MARK X 2seater convertible with a 5.0 engine. STOP making the NAVIGATOR boxy keep the inside, then update the 69 LINCOLN continental WITH suicide doors but update the inside Hi technology electric turbo lastly a subcompact 5.0 LINCOLN 4 door with beautiful color's inside & out GOT IT !!
You would pay $70000 for a Lexus? It shares many parts with a Toyota. I could go on and on with Acura, Audi, and Infinity. They all share parts with their mainstream brands.
Laid & dragged on its side laying on mirrors must hold the SUV/truck 300ft drag length or more not allowing any side sheet metal scrapping or crushing/denting.
Lincoln is still for Nostalgic boomers who dont wana buy European SUV's (that are WAY BETTER value than this ford in drag) Which isnt a bad thing! its a Niche vehicle and its actually pretty nice. i'd buy a used one once the resale value TANKS
@@redriver15262 yeah but why even be willing to fix something. There are other brands to get and you barely fix anything. Get a car that is a tool, not you a tool to your car.
@@BrianBourgeois- most new cars are designed to last atleast 10 years and over 200k miles actually. No matter what the brand is. thats why new cars are so expensive. the whole "euro is unreliable" thing no longer applies. Even econo boxes are complex, but designed to last 😅 also i bet an Audi A4, BMW 3 series or Mercedes C class would be in WAY BETTER condition than say a Ford fusion or Chevy impala after a 3 yr lease due to the lower quality of parts that will still last for years but be in crappier condition lol
@@Cptblogh Not everyone wants to drive a reliable car that has no personality or driving dynamics lol. im sure owning a honda or lexus is financially the best choice, but also the most boring insipid experience ever lol

New Lincolns and Cadillacs look so nice on the exterior department. So much. Better than the Germans.
Lincoln is nicer than cadillac
Why no engine cover? It looks horrible when you open the hood. At this price you expect everything to be nicely covered up.
The Nautilus Black Label doesn't reach $75k with any options. That is incorrect based on the configurator on the Lincoln website

Nice interior but, as with most American SUVs, the Nautilus ranks towards the bottom of reliability ratings.
The front looks so much like an older model Audi Q7 I can’t unsee it

Performance is impressive. Which engine choice was in this model tested? ... didn't say in video.
They did it was the 2.7 tt V6
