Lincoln has refreshed its Nautilus midsize SUV for the 2027 model year, giving it a bolder front end, a more refined interior and more technology.

Updated design

The SUV has a new grille that is bolder, wider and more detailed, as well as a redesigned hood and newly sculpted fenders for a more squared look.

It also has new signature lighting for a more cohesive look front and back, including slimmer rear lights.

Buyers can opt for wheels measuring 19 to 22 inches, depending on trim, and two new exterior colours have been added to the palette, Nocturnal Blue and Frosted Fig. Frosted Fig, a plum-purple colour, is only available on the top-of-the-line Black Label trim.

More upscale interior

Buyers have several interior colour options to choose from, depending on trim.

The Premiere and Reserve trims have a new Afterglow theme available, and Reserve buyers can also choose the Hot Chocolate theme.

The Black Onyx theme has been updated, now featuring a black lower panel and a lighter upper cabin.

The Black Label trim gets two new themes. These include Eminent Hour, which features Tranquil Dusk Menorca seating, Eminent Fade perforation, warm stitching, Eminent Copper Ash open-pore wood and an Ebony headliner, while the Elysian Light theme gets Soft Cloud leather, Still Water Blue accents, Pearlescent Ash wood and a Soft Cloud headliner.

Interior wellness

Lincoln set out to expand the vehicle’s wellness features.

The Renew Package, which is now available on the Reserve trim, gets the Lincoln Rejuvenate feature with 24-way “Perfect Position” seats with memory and massage functions.

Lincoln Rejuvenate provides a calming multisensory experience by combining visuals, audio, seat position and climate control into a restful setting when the vehicle is parked. An available Digital Scent feature can also add curated fragrances.

More technology

The Nautilus has a 48-inch panoramic display, and the Lincoln Connectivity Package includes Google Maps, Google apps and voice assistant.

The Nautilus comes with four years of the Lincoln Security Package and four years of BlueCruise 1.5, a hands-free highway driving feature.

Powertrain

The 2027 Lincoln Nautilus comes standard with a turbocharged 2-litre four-cylinder engine with 250 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

A hybrid option pairs a 2-litre turbo engine with a 100-kW electric motor and a continuously variable transmission. The hybrid has 285 hp.

Canadian availability

The 2027 Lincoln Nautilus is available to order now and should arrive at dealerships in early 2027.
