Steve, so I'm the SYNC specialist at a Ford/Lincoln dealer here in Prescott Arizona. I do diagnostics and repair of all Ford/Lincoln entertainment systems. Ford/Lincoln digital experience is new to all of us and I found myself struggling to understand all the features and the user interface. I watched your video and I must say, well done. It is better than anything I can get from Ford or Lincoln. Thanks a million, now I understand it.
Really great to hear that the video helped you out! Glad that you've got a better handle on the system to help out other folks. How do you like this system compared to the last generation Sync4?
@@CarsWithSteve I have worked with every generation of SYNC. Ford/Lincoln Digital Experience is new for 2024. It is for more complex and comprehensive than SYNC. It's new to me, but I like it. I still think the interface is far too complicated for the average driver. Heck, I had to seek you out to get a better understanding of what I specialize in. My job is to diagnose all these systems when they go sideways and they always go sideways. Most customers struggle figuring out how to pair their phones.
Bang on.. There's s so much to know about these modern screens and seeing people struggle with things outside of connecting phones is one of the reasons why I started making these videos.
It is the most thorough description of the Lincoln possible. I just bought one and have been pulling my hair out on all the upgrades but this has totally allowed me to learn so many things on setting it up. Will be re-reunning this uTube several times. Thank you ]
Thanks Sharon! There is a lot to know about the new Nautilus so I'm glad this video is helping you learn more about yours. How are you enjoying it so far?
We have a new one also hybrid version. I’m trying to learn how to use maps. They said use CarPlay and google. Hope I can figure it out. Love the car beautiful and rides so smoothly. We like it better than the 2022 Aviator we traded in for it.
I learned so much from this. Picked up my Nautilus yesterday and I'm ready to get to know it. I'm going to try and play this video while in my car now that I know it's capable of playing TH-cam! Thanks!
Love the enthusiastic review of this new Nautilus. You're doing a commendable job on each vehicle you review and are a breath of fresh air compared to the crowded field of reviewers on the web. You take your time presenting the vehicle and come off more authentic then the average pretentious reviewer who tries to rush through the review or has an obvious agenda rather then the presentation of the vehicle they are reviewing. This vehicle however is disappointing in the power department, it doesn't offer the 2.7 V6 anymore and in this segment the upgraded hybrid system power numbers should be the standard power output numbers. Not sure why Lincoln doesn't offer the 2.3 as the standard powerplant in the Nautilus. My advice to Lincoln would be to offer the 2.3 as the standard powerplant, the hybrid as an option and the 2.7 in the black label or an upcharged option on all trims. Perhaps if the demand warrants it they may decide to take my advice, we'll see ✌🏽♥️
Thank you! Always good to hear when people appreciate the ridiculous detail that I go into with these videos. I was really surprised with the 2.7L getting the axe and then no plug in or electric version yet either . I'm sure the powertrain will get addressed in the next few years and if it's not plug in hybrid it'll be full electric if Lincoln keeps it in production
Best video I have seen. Approach detection is about the light show. If you enable, the car lights up if you have FOB or phone as you get close...maybe 15 to 20.
Awesome, I just got one, and thanks to you, I know I'm able to understand we're everything is. Thank you so much for this vide. I love my car. I wanted to add that after driving it for a month I was supposedly the first customer that had a black out, with this I mean I opened the car and everything was off, I was able to turn it on and the air conditioning was working but, it only showed a tiny sign in the big panoramic screen, I looked inside the manual and it meant parking brake needs service. They came to my home, picked it up, and dropped me another car for me to drive. I was disappointed at first because I was the first one that experienced this however that could be a lie, it was in the shop for the weekend and on Wednesday I got it back and it was normal again, they said that it needed an update. Wanted to mention it cause since this is a new model, it will happen to others as well. Thank you
You're welcome, glad the video helped! So odd about the screen issue but thanks for the heads up just in case other people run into the same issue, good to know it was fixed quickly. Is it the first time that you've owned a Lincoln?
You're welcome and thanks so much! I'm hoping to get into the Lyriq soon but the Nautilus was such a blast. Enjoy the ride if you end up picking one up!
It’s the best thorough video on the Nautilus, thank you so much. I just bought one and your video is going to be so so helpful and I’m so excited to get to know my Nautilus better because of you! Fantastic job!
This one is the exact build I wanted to buy. The downgrade in power changed my mind and I bought a 23 Black Label with the 2.7 V6. That offers a very satisfying amount of power.
Ohh the Black Label, that 2.7L is such a great engine! If only we got that trim level in Canada. Take one of the new hybrids for a spin when you get a chance! Not as much power as the 2.7L but still a ton of fun
my wife just got one 3 weeks ago! Same color and rims but her interior is a beautiful cream color! We tinted the front windows to 15% and the windshield to 35% and it’s a very stealth look! She doesn’t mind the smaller engine cause it runs off regular gas instead of super like her last vehicle which was a 23 Range Rover Velar
I ordered mine and watch videos on this car every day to learn and make sure this is the car i want. This is by far the best review i have seen and watch this often. I am excited and working hard to pay my black label off before it gets here
@@CarsWithStevei switched from chevy camaro to ordering this, hybrid jet black package. For commute and just more space. I did my research on so many cars and this one stood out cause not only does it look good, awd, good gas mileage, but also everything you ever want on the inside with the best heads up display around
Wow, bit of a change of heart there! Agree with you 100% on the display, it's so good. The pics I saw at first didn't really do it justice compared to when I was actually in one. How long do you think it'll be before yours shows up?
Have you had an issue with the weird shaped steering wheel blocking a portion of the speedo or anything else on the digital dash? I test drove the Nautilus and found no matter how I adjusted my seat up or down, the top portion of the wheel was blocking the speedometer.
Another great review, Steve! I think you know how fond of Lincoln I am. The Nautilus looks like a fine SUV, but I've kind of gotten use to the seat controls being on the door. And that "riding like the BOSS" feeling on a Navigator can deliver. 😁
Thanks Patrick! I've been used to Lincolns having the seat controls on the door as well but the reason why these ones aren't is neat.. According to one of the designers the folks at Revel (for the audio system) requested the switches be moved from the door to the seat to optimize the quality of the sound
Hybrid components in Lincoln vehicles are covered for 8 years 160,000km/100,000 miles. Lifespan is too early to tell right now because it's a new battery size... the Escape hybrid is great but we won't know for at least another 3-5 years how this one holds up long term or with higher mileage
It appears that I will need a copilot to manage driving this car. I just purchased mine to be delivered in three days but the controls seem overly complicated. How can I drive safely with managing all these different options?
It takes a bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of it you'll find it'll become second nature. You can use voice command prompts to use most of the features like changing the radio station, climate and navigate
I see on another review that an exterior alert sound is made while in Reverse....did you notice this on your review? Thorough review on this one though! Ive ordered a Diamonmd Red Reserve lll package and cant wait to enjoy it!
That's because it was the hybrid, while this one is the regular gas engine! Hybrid cars need to have that exterior hum for pedestrian safety. Exciting about the new ride, I think you're going to love it! How long does your Lincoln dealer think it'll take before you're in it?
Currently drive a 2019 Nautilus Reserve and went and looked at a 2024 Aviator today. We were blown away by the new Nautilus. Is it weird to have two of the same vehicle? 😂
@@CarsWithSteve I’m seriously thinking about it. I have never owned a domestic brand vehicle. But this one might be my first one. No one thinks about Lincoln when it comes to Luxury cars.
I've had a few friends get into Lincolns with that exact reasoning. They never considered a Lincoln until seeing what they have to offer. It historically was perceived as a car for older folks but with the redesigns over the last few years they're definitely targeting a younger demographic
Hi Steve How Are You Can You Get Your Hands On The 2024 Ford Bronco Wildtrak 2024 Chevy Equinox Rs 2024 Kia Carnival SX FWD 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 Preferred Awd 2024 Hyundai Sonata Pref Tren 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate Calligraphy
Funny.. I'm actually in a press Kia Carnival right now ;) so that video is coming out soon. The Hyundai lineup is coming out over the next few months as I just partnered with Hyundai Canada!
Was looking forward to seeing a full in depth review of this car though im not ready to give up my aviator. I will say, was NOT expecting the "that's what she said" joke. You're getting silly, Steve
The Aviator is still a solid ride, has it still been treating you well? Haha glad someone mentioned that comment. I started watching the Office for the first time recently and may have picked up a thing or two from Michael Scott
@@CarsWithSteve it has been and has been absolutely clutch when hauling my family around on road trips. I still have yet to get my rear camera fixed which I'm hoping is done soon but the only significant issue I have is that the sunroof keeps leaking. I'll take it in, they tell me drain tube is blocked, clear it out and 3 months later same thing. Im taking it in tomorrow for same issue but I've been parking in a garage so it's gotta be something else
@@CarsWithSteve camera has had issues since the recall about a year or so ago? Parts were scarce and only just started getting to dealers. I was also going to suggest to dealership to check seals. Unfortunately took it into same dealer 3 times who couldn't find other issues so trying somewhere else. Doesn't seem right that tubes would get clogged that quickly and frequently
Great video, 2 questions: 1) do you have to turn off each time you turn on the car, the auto start stop option via the button or does it remember your preference and keep it disabled? 2) do the massage chairs now only massage the upper body or do they still massage on the lower part of the chair as in previous models?
Thanks! Unfortunately the system still turns start/stop back on again when the car is shut off. From what I recall the massage seats are upper body only but next time I'm in one I'll double check and circle back
@CarsWithSteve Thank you for the reply! At least the start stop is now a physical button, it'll be much quicker to disable than going through the menus! As for the massage chairs, I did hear that they now massage with a stronger intensity which is better than prevois versions of the chairs, was this also your experience?
Yes! The massage seat felt amazing during the drives I took this one on. I'll have to find a previous gen with the massage seats to do a back to back compare though ;)
great video! i have an issue where i can’t use the voice command button to call someone when im in carplay. would you know how to go around that so i can call my contacts while in carplay without the google assistant?
Thanks Sarah! It's a multi use prompt on the steering wheel.. a short press will bring up the car voice assistant but a longer press and hold will activate Siri/Google Assistant
Watch out for screen separation! I’ve got a 2024 Lincoln Reserve III, it’s only three months old and I just noticed today that can see that an ugly line that has now appeared between the two halves of the screen. I also see lines to the far left and right edges. The displays still work, but the illusion of a single screen has been shattered.
The Nautilus has a great reliability.. previous generation models have low NHTSA and forum complaints from owners compared to the number of units sold. The 2024 hybrid is newer tech so we won't know for the next 3-5 years how it holds up longer term
Any idea how to change the tone for the alert to “watch the road?” I had a loaner while mine was in for warranty work and the tone was different and more pleasant. I can’t find it anywhere!
Are the displays limited to only these four widgets (Clock, Fuel Economy, Trip 1/Trip2)? Or, is it possible to display something else, such as TH-cam, on one of the top screens?
Yes it's currently limited to the available widgets on that screen. Having TH-cam pop up there would be great! I'd go through the screen to leave feedback for Lincoln on that idea
There isn't.. it's a traditional hybrid that gives you more power and better fuel economy. The EV miles travelled are from regen braking and that battery charging when you drive!
Hi steve, are you familiar with the feature related to the Google maps for this sync 5? That they need to have an account first and once the phone is paired to the veh the address on Google maps is automatically sync too?
You can use Google maps through the screen without having a Google account but when you login to your Google account it will sync addresses across all your devices!
Hello Steve, how can I order for Lincoln Aviator and get it shipped to me in Africa ? Most dealers are spoke with are saying they only sell within the US or just their locations and not to foreigners . You know a way out ?
Most brands will be the same way with new vehicles.. there's typically a 6 month and minimum 5,000 - 10,000 mile window before they can be exported. Dealers can be fined pretty large amounts by the manufacturer for exporting new vehicles and local buyers are black listed from buying all the time because of it. Your best bet is to find one that's a previous year old with low mileage
I want to want this car, but a little more power and a little less price would be nice. The Google integration seems interesting. Also, @14:03 "Tight box, that's what SHE said." 😭😭
Haha was wondering if people caught that :P Lincoln employee pricing is still on right now so you can get some slightly better pricing. The Google setup is definitely a step above the previous gen, more responsive and user friendly. Plus having the Google account integration with maps is a plus
What would you do? My 2021 Highlander Platinum Hybrid lease with only 16k miles on it will end on Sept 4th. I have 3 payments left. If you were me, would you buy out the low mileage Highlander? Or trade it in for a Grand Highlander or a more luxury type of suv like the Nautilus? So far, I have been looking at the Nautilus & the Lexus TX. Thanks for putting out this very informative video of the Nautilus. 👍 People are saying to stay away from Ford / Lincoln, but I really like this Nautilus. Toyota has been my preference since 2010, and I am torn because I would like to try driving a more luxurious type of vehicle. Either a Reserve 3 loaded or a Black Label. The Lexus TX 500H FSport is on my radar, too. The 2025 Buick Avenir is also of consideration. Thanks!
That's a tough call.. but it depends on you and your financial situation. With only 16,000 miles on it, chances are that you'd get way more on a trade in vs what the buyout is going to be. I'd start by getting some trade in quotes from Lincoln dealerships to see what they're willing to offer on the Highlander. If the trade in is more than the buy out, then buy it out and you'll have more positive equity to carry forward. If you really want an SUV that's more luxurious, aren't a fan of the Highlander and have the budget for a new vehicle then why not?
@CarsWithSteve Thank You! My residual is 34k, and I have received 1 quote of 38k. Finances are good, but I still don't want to get rolled over at the dealership. Lol
Sounds like it makes sense to do the buyout and then sell the Highlander to the dealership assuming that's the plan. The Nautilus has between a $3k and $5k dealer profit margin so on a Reserve 3 or Black Label I'd offer them somewhere between $2k and $3k under MSRP ;)
Good question.. It's an odd choice for them to not have a more powerful model but I guess looking at what models were selling it made sense for them to axe the 2.7L
I'm having a hard time choosing between this Nautilus vs X5. With similar prices, around $72-75K, is Lincoln really worth that much? I like how Lincoln have more features than the X5.
The entry level X5 is $15,000 more than the entry level Nautilus. The X5 will have more horsepower and torque in comparison though... BMW also has a higher cost of ownership because of the cost of maintenance and the need for 91 octane vs Lincoln only needing 87
@@CarsWithSteve Yeah I was comparing a pretty loaded Nautilus vs moderately packed X5. One thing I don't like on the Nautilus is the AC control on the screen, like the new BMW setting. I love the adaptive cruise control, I think it's a strong point. Also like you mentioned, only need regular unleaded gas.
@@CarsWithSteve Honestly the Nautilus, but maybe not the fully loaded. I just can't justify paying the same price as X5 for a Lincoln. Maybe I'm still biased. I have X1, love everything except the tech and all on screen control lol
Yes, there's only one digital assistant allowed in the vehicle. You'd select the one you want through Settings --> Assistant & Voice --> Digital Assistant App
Surprisingly no vents for the 2nd row outside of airflow under the 1st row seats. Make sure there's nothing under the 1st row seats and then position the middle vents to the 2nd row
@@CarsWithSteve we finally realized that sliding the 2 very small AC vents on the back of console to the center allows at least more airflow, but still a very uneven experience for backseat riders vs. the front. In the middle of Las Vegas to Az in middle of Summer, I do not recommend that anyone in need of a cool ride - we had our 3 small dogs, 2 of which are older, 1 of which has diabetes, I really didn't feel super comfortable with the situation. But at least finding the way to blow a little more air helped a bit. I guess most who drive this car do not have children or back seat riders very often.
When you have an active route going on a map application in CarPlay or Android Auto it should mirror the map in place of where Google Maps normally runs!
It mirrors Apple Maps only perhaps it’s Waze with an android but curious if you know how to show time to destination with Google maps it does with Apple Maps but Google only shows like 17 min to destination verses 2:17pm arrival time.
Looks like this car might be very comfortable and so forth but it seems like it's an accident waiting to happen with the extra wide screen and touch buttons on the steering wheel etcetera. Seems like they would take a lot more effort and distraction to work compared to simple toggle switches and so forth.
Honestly.. when I was driving it I never felt like the screens were distracting at all, but there is a calming mode that dims out the right half of the 48" screen! The steering wheel buttons did seem a bit odd when I first used them on the initial drive but it becomes very intuitive once you get the hang of it. Take one for a spin when your Lincoln dealer has one in stock.. I'd love to hear your feedback when you have the chance to drive one!
@@CarsWithSteve ha, thanks for the optimism but my Kia Seltos is about as much as I will probably spend on a car. I find that very easy to use a non-distracting with the toggle switches and buttons. But I appreciate your in-depth reviews of especially the infotainment systems on cars. I am pretty upset with a lot of manufacturers with all these RECALLS, especially with Kia and hyundai. It seems to me I don't hear a lot of recall concerning Lincoln's - would you agree with that? I can't afford all this money for an unreliable car or an engine or transmission that is just waiting to fail! Really frustrating for us retired old guys without a ton of money!
The Seltos is a simple ride for sure! Do you have the 2.0L or 1.6L turbo in yours? Outside of the fire risk for some models the Seltos doesn't seem to have any other NHTSA complaints. Has your Seltos given you any issues so far? The 2021 - 2022 Nautilus has no active recalls and the 2023 is only rear shock absorbers and a weld on some child seat tethers
@@CarsWithSteve I participate in the Seltos forums and it's disappointing to see the number of engine and transmission replacements. I have the EX with the dual clutch and the turbo. We are old enough that we put very few miles on it so it is a 2021 with 16,000 mi. My wife's 2016 Kia Soul (she LOVES that's car) is a victim of the easy to steal problem because of not having an immobilizer. I find that very hard to forgive Kia for that! We have been Kia and Hyundai owners since 2002 I'm not sure that any other manufacturer is going to be more reliable - even a lot of Toyota recalls lately.
Interesting... I'm surprised there aren't more NHTSA complaints on it. I was surprised about the lack of immobilizer. Has hers fallen victim to a theft attempt?
That old samsung is not going to have the new iteration of android Auto, making us Samsung users look real bad out here, lol. The screen is not responding and ish lol
I do understand your an apple guy but you had to grab something to show both sides even if the phone is from 2008-2009 I appreciate the in depth review I love it, lol
Well I've officially been called out on it 😂 Should probably upgrade it to at least show Android some love too. Any recommendations for a good Android to look at?
The drivers seat doesn't slide back enough. Awd not needed everywhere. Adds to maintenance. 250hp, and, loaded with 4 200lbs adults, your rolling backwards trying to go uphill. Ford quality.... buy a durango
@66skate that's a lie. Lincoln with there dated tech? Eco boost- blow up carbon build up engines. Low horse power. The newest navigator looks dated. Few takers on. Lincolns
I have a 2024 LINCOLN Nautilus having trouble with brakes Rotors rusting makes noise when applying brakes sounds like rubbing Chalk across a blackboard & LINCOLN won't correct my problem
Try a few hard brakes to remove rust from the rotors. Get up to 30 - 50 mph and brake hard, do that a few times. If that doesn't remove it or if you're still running into issues, pressure the dealer to replace them under warranty. If your selling dealer won't, then go to another dealership
th-cam.com/video/5g42dQ08W9U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ew7dj04OENNnkdBM It’s a shame CarPlay doesn’t look like this on it. Most detailed review I’ve seen though, phenomenal job!
Ford and Lincoln are on the list of companies implementing the new carplay, there's a chance the new carplay will come to this car in the future through an update
gotta say... every Lincoln dealership in Canada should use this as a training aid for their sales professionals. Very well done Steve.

Congrats! Glad the video helped. Is this the first time that you've owned a Lincoln?
Yes it’s my first Lincoln. I got rid of my Jeep Grand Cherokee L to get it. The Nautilus is an amazing vehicle that is smoooooth.
Just a bit of a change there. Enjoy the new ride!
@@CarsWithSteveThank you.
Another great review, Steve! I think you know how fond of Lincoln I am. The Nautilus looks like a fine SUV, but I've kind of gotten use to the seat controls being on the door. And that "riding like the BOSS" feeling on a Navigator can deliver. 😁
Thanks Patrick! I've been used to Lincolns having the seat controls on the door as well but the reason why these ones aren't is neat.. According to one of the designers the folks at Revel (for the audio system) requested the switches be moved from the door to the seat to optimize the quality of the sound
Great informative video!
Thanks Frank!
Whats the lifespan of the battery on the hybrid model? Or is it covered for 8 years in warranty
Hybrid components in Lincoln vehicles are covered for 8 years 160,000km/100,000 miles. Lifespan is too early to tell right now because it's a new battery size... the Escape hybrid is great but we won't know for at least another 3-5 years how this one holds up long term or with higher mileage
Great review thank you😊
You're welcome!
It appears that I will need a copilot to manage driving this car. I just purchased mine to be delivered in three days but the controls seem overly complicated. How can I drive safely with managing all these different options?
It takes a bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of it you'll find it'll become second nature. You can use voice command prompts to use most of the features like changing the radio station, climate and navigate
thanks for video, question like this, I found there is no air conditioning vent to blow the windshield, do you think it will be a problem in winter?
You're welcome! Check out the buttons to the right of the volume rocker. The top right one (just above the 360 camera) is for Max Windshield Defrost
I see on another review that an exterior alert sound is made while in Reverse....did you notice this on your review? Thorough review on this one though! Ive ordered a Diamonmd Red Reserve lll package and cant wait to enjoy it!
That's because it was the hybrid, while this one is the regular gas engine! Hybrid cars need to have that exterior hum for pedestrian safety. Exciting about the new ride, I think you're going to love it! How long does your Lincoln dealer think it'll take before you're in it?
Currently drive a 2019 Nautilus Reserve and went and looked at a 2024 Aviator today. We were blown away by the new Nautilus. Is it weird to have two of the same vehicle? 😂
Not weird to have two of them at all! The 2025 Aviator is getting a bit of an upgrade but I still think the 2024 Nautilus looks way better
❤❤❤GREAT VIDEO
Thanks Terri!
The fact that this comes with a google software is HUGE for me.
Right? The screen is so much better than the last gen! Have you already picked one up or thinking of it for your next ride?
@@CarsWithSteve I’m seriously thinking about it. I have never owned a domestic brand vehicle. But this one might be my first one. No one thinks about Lincoln when it comes to Luxury cars.
I've had a few friends get into Lincolns with that exact reasoning. They never considered a Lincoln until seeing what they have to offer. It historically was perceived as a car for older folks but with the redesigns over the last few years they're definitely targeting a younger demographic
Hi Steve How Are You Can You Get Your Hands On The 2024 Ford Bronco Wildtrak 2024 Chevy Equinox Rs 2024 Kia Carnival SX FWD 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 Preferred Awd 2024 Hyundai Sonata Pref Tren 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate Calligraphy
Funny.. I'm actually in a press Kia Carnival right now ;) so that video is coming out soon. The Hyundai lineup is coming out over the next few months as I just partnered with Hyundai Canada!
Was looking forward to seeing a full in depth review of this car though im not ready to give up my aviator. I will say, was NOT expecting the "that's what she said" joke. You're getting silly, Steve
The Aviator is still a solid ride, has it still been treating you well? Haha glad someone mentioned that comment. I started watching the Office for the first time recently and may have picked up a thing or two from Michael Scott
@@CarsWithSteve it has been and has been absolutely clutch when hauling my family around on road trips. I still have yet to get my rear camera fixed which I'm hoping is done soon but the only significant issue I have is that the sunroof keeps leaking. I'll take it in, they tell me drain tube is blocked, clear it out and 3 months later same thing. Im taking it in tomorrow for same issue but I've been parking in a garage so it's gotta be something else
How long has the camera been out for you? For the sunroof seal.. could try a silicone spray to see if that fixes it
@@CarsWithSteve camera has had issues since the recall about a year or so ago? Parts were scarce and only just started getting to dealers. I was also going to suggest to dealership to check seals. Unfortunately took it into same dealer 3 times who couldn't find other issues so trying somewhere else. Doesn't seem right that tubes would get clogged that quickly and frequently
Oy what a wait! The only thing that would make sense for it to keep leaking are the seals. Hopefully it's figured out for you sooner than later
Great video, 2 questions: 1) do you have to turn off each time you turn on the car, the auto start stop option via the button or does it remember your preference and keep it disabled? 2) do the massage chairs now only massage the upper body or do they still massage on the lower part of the chair as in previous models?
Thanks! Unfortunately the system still turns start/stop back on again when the car is shut off. From what I recall the massage seats are upper body only but next time I'm in one I'll double check and circle back
@CarsWithSteve Thank you for the reply! At least the start stop is now a physical button, it'll be much quicker to disable than going through the menus! As for the massage chairs, I did hear that they now massage with a stronger intensity which is better than prevois versions of the chairs, was this also your experience?
Yes! The massage seat felt amazing during the drives I took this one on. I'll have to find a previous gen with the massage seats to do a back to back compare though ;)
Do you have to hold the button the whole time it's parking or let go once it starts?
When I was using the system you had to hold it.. releasing it would pause park assist from working
great video! i have an issue where i can’t use the voice command button to call someone when im in carplay. would you know how to go around that so i can call my contacts while in carplay without the google assistant?
Thanks Sarah! It's a multi use prompt on the steering wheel.. a short press will bring up the car voice assistant but a longer press and hold will activate Siri/Google Assistant
Watch out for screen separation! I’ve got a 2024 Lincoln Reserve III, it’s only three months old and I just noticed today that can see that an ugly line that has now appeared between the two halves of the screen. I also see lines to the far left and right edges. The displays still work, but the illusion of a single screen has been shattered.
That's crazy! Any way you can send me a pic or video of what it looks like? Instagram @realcarswith steve or Facebook @carswithsteve
Im interested in a Lincoln suv reliability is a concern. Can anyone let me know if reliability has improved over the last couple years?
The Nautilus has a great reliability.. previous generation models have low NHTSA and forum complaints from owners compared to the number of units sold. The 2024 hybrid is newer tech so we won't know for the next 3-5 years how it holds up longer term
Any idea how to change the tone for the alert to “watch the road?” I had a loaner while mine was in for warranty work and the tone was different and more pleasant. I can’t find it anywhere!
I've never come across a way to change that alert sound 🤔
You mentioned a shorter video in the description of this video about this vehicle. It doesn't seem to be there. The one I see is for the same video.
Also mentioned in the description that the shorter version is coming soon.. it should be out in the next month or so
Whoopsie doodle! I missed that, thank you.
Are the displays limited to only these four widgets (Clock, Fuel Economy, Trip 1/Trip2)? Or, is it possible to display something else, such as TH-cam, on one of the top screens?
Yes it's currently limited to the available widgets on that screen. Having TH-cam pop up there would be great! I'd go through the screen to leave feedback for Lincoln on that idea
Where is the charging plug for the hybrid?
There isn't.. it's a traditional hybrid that gives you more power and better fuel economy. The EV miles travelled are from regen braking and that battery charging when you drive!
Did you link to programming the garage door opener and i missed it?
You didn't miss it, I forgot to add in the link which has now been updated!

Hi steve, are you familiar with the feature related to the Google maps for this sync 5? That they need to have an account first and once the phone is paired to the veh the address on Google maps is automatically sync too?
You can use Google maps through the screen without having a Google account but when you login to your Google account it will sync addresses across all your devices!
@@CarsWithSteve Hello. It's Morning, here. I will try to do that at home 😊. So I can assist customers better.
Good luck!
Hello Steve, how can I order for Lincoln Aviator and get it shipped to me in Africa ? Most dealers are spoke with are saying they only sell within the US or just their locations and not to foreigners . You know a way out ?
Most brands will be the same way with new vehicles.. there's typically a 6 month and minimum 5,000 - 10,000 mile window before they can be exported. Dealers can be fined pretty large amounts by the manufacturer for exporting new vehicles and local buyers are black listed from buying all the time because of it. Your best bet is to find one that's a previous year old with low mileage
What is the little hole under the t in nautiluson the exterior
It's for the emergency access key! Just in case your fob has died and you need to get inside the car
I want to want this car, but a little more power and a little less price would be nice. The Google integration seems interesting. Also, @14:03 "Tight box, that's what SHE said." 😭😭
Haha was wondering if people caught that :P
Lincoln employee pricing is still on right now so you can get some slightly better pricing. The Google setup is definitely a step above the previous gen, more responsive and user friendly. Plus having the Google account integration with maps is a plus
Просто скажите мне!!! Это был именно сине-серый цвет салона!? Именно СИНИЙ с серым!? Если так, то это просто кайф!!!!👍👍👍
Технически это интерьер черного дерева, но он очень тонкий по сравнению с цветом прошлого года.
What would you do?
My 2021 Highlander Platinum Hybrid lease with only 16k miles on it will end on Sept 4th. I have 3 payments left. If you were me, would you buy out the low mileage Highlander? Or trade it in for a Grand Highlander or a more luxury type of suv like the Nautilus?
So far, I have been looking at the Nautilus & the Lexus TX. Thanks for putting out this very informative video of the Nautilus. 👍
People are saying to stay away from Ford / Lincoln, but I really like this Nautilus. Toyota has been my preference since 2010, and I am torn because I would like to try driving a more luxurious type of vehicle. Either a Reserve 3 loaded or a Black Label. The Lexus TX 500H FSport is on my radar, too. The 2025 Buick Avenir is also of consideration. Thanks!
That's a tough call.. but it depends on you and your financial situation. With only 16,000 miles on it, chances are that you'd get way more on a trade in vs what the buyout is going to be. I'd start by getting some trade in quotes from Lincoln dealerships to see what they're willing to offer on the Highlander. If the trade in is more than the buy out, then buy it out and you'll have more positive equity to carry forward.
If you really want an SUV that's more luxurious, aren't a fan of the Highlander and have the budget for a new vehicle then why not?
@CarsWithSteve
Thank You!
My residual is 34k, and I have received 1 quote of 38k. Finances are good, but I still don't want to get rolled over at the dealership. Lol
Sounds like it makes sense to do the buyout and then sell the Highlander to the dealership assuming that's the plan. The Nautilus has between a $3k and $5k dealer profit margin so on a Reserve 3 or Black Label I'd offer them somewhere between $2k and $3k under MSRP ;)
@CarsWithSteve
Thank you for replying back. Great insight from you. Much appreciated.
👍😊👍
you're welcome! I'd be curious how things end up once you make the decision either way
What is the ground clearance of the 2024?
Around 8" depending on the wheels you have
@@CarsWithSteve ok, thanks
How could Lincoln not know that the segment who would want this car would want a high horsepower (>375 hp) option as well?
Good question.. It's an odd choice for them to not have a more powerful model but I guess looking at what models were selling it made sense for them to axe the 2.7L
I'm having a hard time choosing between this Nautilus vs X5. With similar prices, around $72-75K, is Lincoln really worth that much?
I like how Lincoln have more features than the X5.
The entry level X5 is $15,000 more than the entry level Nautilus. The X5 will have more horsepower and torque in comparison though... BMW also has a higher cost of ownership because of the cost of maintenance and the need for 91 octane vs Lincoln only needing 87
@@CarsWithSteve Yeah I was comparing a pretty loaded Nautilus vs moderately packed X5.
One thing I don't like on the Nautilus is the AC control on the screen, like the new BMW setting. I love the adaptive cruise control, I think it's a strong point.
Also like you mentioned, only need regular unleaded gas.
Makes sense.. the X5 would beat it out for overall power but lots to consider. Which way are you leaning right now?
@@CarsWithSteve Honestly the Nautilus, but maybe not the fully loaded. I just can't justify paying the same price as X5 for a Lincoln. Maybe I'm still biased. I have X1, love everything except the tech and all on screen control lol
No need to go with the Black Label... I think the Reserve II / 202a is the sweet spot for price and feature set.
Do you know if you can only have one default voice activation?! I connected Alexa and now when I say Hey Google it doesn’t respond
Yes, there's only one digital assistant allowed in the vehicle. You'd select the one you want through Settings --> Assistant & Voice --> Digital Assistant App
Anyone know how to get the AC to work well in the back seats?
Surprisingly no vents for the 2nd row outside of airflow under the 1st row seats. Make sure there's nothing under the 1st row seats and then position the middle vents to the 2nd row
@@CarsWithSteve we finally realized that sliding the 2 very small AC vents on the back of console to the center allows at least more airflow, but still a very uneven experience for backseat riders vs. the front. In the middle of Las Vegas to Az in middle of Summer, I do not recommend that anyone in need of a cool ride - we had our 3 small dogs, 2 of which are older, 1 of which has diabetes, I really didn't feel super comfortable with the situation. But at least finding the way to blow a little more air helped a bit. I guess most who drive this car do not have children or back seat riders very often.
I'll definitely make sure to point that out the next time I'm in a Nautilus, there should be door vents or vents behind the console for sure
Did you say Waze could be on the top screen? If so how? I have an iPhone
When you have an active route going on a map application in CarPlay or Android Auto it should mirror the map in place of where Google Maps normally runs!
It mirrors Apple Maps only perhaps it’s Waze with an android but curious if you know how to show time to destination with Google maps it does with Apple Maps but Google only shows like 17 min to destination verses 2:17pm arrival time.
@@CarsWithStevethank you so much I have been trying to figure this out!!!
You're welcome!
Looks like this car might be very comfortable and so forth but it seems like it's an accident waiting to happen with the extra wide screen and touch buttons on the steering wheel etcetera. Seems like they would take a lot more effort and distraction to work compared to simple toggle switches and so forth.
Honestly.. when I was driving it I never felt like the screens were distracting at all, but there is a calming mode that dims out the right half of the 48" screen! The steering wheel buttons did seem a bit odd when I first used them on the initial drive but it becomes very intuitive once you get the hang of it. Take one for a spin when your Lincoln dealer has one in stock.. I'd love to hear your feedback when you have the chance to drive one!
@@CarsWithSteve ha, thanks for the optimism but my Kia Seltos is about as much as I will probably spend on a car. I find that very easy to use a non-distracting with the toggle switches and buttons. But I appreciate your in-depth reviews of especially the infotainment systems on cars. I am pretty upset with a lot of manufacturers with all these RECALLS, especially with Kia and hyundai. It seems to me I don't hear a lot of recall concerning Lincoln's - would you agree with that? I can't afford all this money for an unreliable car or an engine or transmission that is just waiting to fail! Really frustrating for us retired old guys without a ton of money!
The Seltos is a simple ride for sure! Do you have the 2.0L or 1.6L turbo in yours? Outside of the fire risk for some models the Seltos doesn't seem to have any other NHTSA complaints. Has your Seltos given you any issues so far?
The 2021 - 2022 Nautilus has no active recalls and the 2023 is only rear shock absorbers and a weld on some child seat tethers
@@CarsWithSteve I participate in the Seltos forums and it's disappointing to see the number of engine and transmission replacements. I have the EX with the dual clutch and the turbo. We are old enough that we put very few miles on it so it is a 2021 with 16,000 mi. My wife's 2016 Kia Soul (she LOVES that's car) is a victim of the easy to steal problem because of not having an immobilizer. I find that very hard to forgive Kia for that! We have been Kia and Hyundai owners since 2002 I'm not sure that any other manufacturer is going to be more reliable - even a lot of Toyota recalls lately.
Interesting... I'm surprised there aren't more NHTSA complaints on it. I was surprised about the lack of immobilizer. Has hers fallen victim to a theft attempt?
I want the electric version
I was thinking Lincoln was planning on doing a full EV, surprised they just went traditional hybrid instead

Суперский автомобиль!👍Хочу себе такой ☺️Кто подарит?😳
Где я могу получить его тоже бесплатно?
I love everything about this suv except the buttons. That turned me off. Im going with bmw x7…
Which buttons weren't you a fan of?
Tight Box LOL
Was wondering when someone would point that out haha
Can you show it at night please?
Working on it! It's tough finding one of these for an overnight but it's on the list
I really like nautilus but let’s be realistic there going to be a lot of wrecks fooling with those control on the steering wheel!
I doubt there will be a lot.. the odd one maybe.. but the car does have front brake assist in case people lose focus
Beautiful but get near 50k miles the quality will reveal itself. Unfortunately
If the last gen models are any indication it'll hold up well but I'm curious how the new 2.0L hybrid is going to do longer term
Agreed!
That's what she said 🤣
😋
Beautiful car, puny engine.
Small engine but it has a good kick. The hybrid does give you more power but it would have been nice to still see the 2.7L under the hood
Gotta love that Chinese CCP quality and style.
I just dont know if I want to pay 60k for a Chinese CCP car.
You may not see the value but people who are buying it don't seem to care where it's assembled
That old samsung is not going to have the new iteration of android Auto, making us Samsung users look real bad out here, lol. The screen is not responding and ish lol
I do understand your an apple guy but you had to grab something to show both sides even if the phone is from 2008-2009 I appreciate the in depth review I love it, lol
Well I've officially been called out on it 😂 Should probably upgrade it to at least show Android some love too. Any recommendations for a good Android to look at?
The drivers seat doesn't slide back enough. Awd not needed everywhere. Adds to maintenance. 250hp, and, loaded with 4 200lbs adults, your rolling backwards trying to go uphill. Ford quality.... buy a durango
According to C R, Lincoln is one of the least costly to maintain over 10 years. It's number 4 on their list.
@66skate that's a lie. Lincoln with there dated tech? Eco boost- blow up carbon build up engines. Low horse power. The newest navigator looks dated. Few takers on. Lincolns
@@moth450 I think you mean KIA.
@66skate ford's are having quality issues. Recalling. Vehicles left and right. And loaded with spyware
IT'S NOT A. REVIEW IT'S MADE IN CHINA 😢😢😢😮😢 SORRY DUDE
And so is all of the technology you use day to day.. yet here we are
I have a 2024 LINCOLN Nautilus having trouble with brakes Rotors rusting makes noise when applying brakes sounds like rubbing Chalk across a blackboard & LINCOLN won't correct my problem
Try a few hard brakes to remove rust from the rotors. Get up to 30 - 50 mph and brake hard, do that a few times. If that doesn't remove it or if you're still running into issues, pressure the dealer to replace them under warranty. If your selling dealer won't, then go to another dealership
th-cam.com/video/5g42dQ08W9U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ew7dj04OENNnkdBM
It’s a shame CarPlay doesn’t look like this on it. Most detailed review I’ve seen though, phenomenal job!
Thanks! That would have been great if Lincoln chose Apple OS for this look. The new Android OS system is pretty flexible though!
Ford and Lincoln are on the list of companies implementing the new carplay, there's a chance the new carplay will come to this car in the future through an update
