My husband bought me this car last week and I love it. I find excuses to drive it. I think the climate control is innovative and I personally like the steering wheel. I fell in love with the car the moment I saw it. It is my first Lincoln. Watching this video did not change my mind. ❤
After driving my 2024 Nautilus Reserve Hybrid for about 3 hours, all of the issues you had because you prefer old fashioned technology became extremely intuitive. The car is remarkably smooth and the Blue Drive works extremely well and the seats are exceptionally comfortable The car also drew the top safety score from the IIHS. It's fun to drive, gets great gas mileage, has exceptionally good storage for its class and great head and leg room, plus it looks great. I suggest anybody who gets the opportunity to test drive a Nautilus should do so.
I think the reviewer is too old to embrace technology. He spent lots of time showing the problems with the touchscreen but for 98% of it the camera wasn't even pointing at the screen. No common sense.
@@StevenHusak Newer Lexus vehicles don't have physical buttons for HVAC either. Which is probably why they said "Automakers need to get a clue" instead of saying "Ford needs to get a clue".
I think its time people start accepting tech and not complain when companies like Lincoln are trying to come up with such beautiful and innovative solutions to keep the functionality through a screen. I am going to buy this car this week and actually cant wait to start using it.
I would like to see someone else do a review. This guy obviously was not giving the Lincoln a fair shot. I bought mine in February of this year and I absolutely love it. It is a jot to drive and you get used to things like the steering wheel is a little different but after the first day I barely noticed The climate controls are quirky but you can use voice commands for the adjustments making them hands free. It is a wonderful automobile.
Im a young person and I agree with his complaints. I get that tech can be intuitive, but to have to do things 2-3 times when before it only took 1 is annoying. I have a older MKX and actually move my vents around often and use my sterring wheen controls for audio and cruise control. All of these things being buried in screens now make this new Nautilus a dealbreaker. The tech doesnt actually make the car easier to live with than previous versions.
I love mine. 5,000 miles in and it's probably the best cruising car I have ever owned...and this coming from someone who has driven Mercedes and BMWs for nearly 20 years. I love the steering wheel. The comments about the controls on the steering wheel were pretty much nonsensical issues. Your thumbs naturally can hover over the buttons and they are simple to control. Yes, the vent controls were a miss, but it's no big deal relative to the overall fantastic experience of driving this beautiful vehicle. Are there a few functional things I'd change? Sure, but who hasn't had those in every car they have owned? CR really seems to have a bug up their rears when it comes to this car...the panel review video that came out previous was an embarrassment for them. This Nautilus is a great vehicle. Oh, and my 31mpg on my hybrid is an added bonus.
I have been driving my 2024 Nautilus for about 3 weeks and have found that the majority of criticisms become unnoticable or intuitive within a very short time. I like (prefer) the steering wheel shape, works well for me. As for not having labels on the clusters, there are only a few places to press for a response in audio or cruise, how hard is it know what each position does? Love the technology and attention to detail in this vehicle. In short, I am a big fan of this car. Test drive before deciding against it . BTW, I traded in a Lexus RX 350, a model I have driving for more that 20 years. Lexus just had nothing significant to offer over my 2016 RX.
Interesting - no complaints about the lack of physical buttons for HVAC controls in the recent Tesla Model 3 review. I mean, either the lack of these controls is either a problem or not. Or is the issue with the reviewer? The person doing the review of the Tesla was much younger, versus this reviewer. I'm 53 myself, but not afraid of technology (just sometimes annoyed by it if it doesn't work properly). Also annoying is review sites that don't hold vehicles to the same standards.
No kidding! The reviewer is a complainer. So many cars today have the climate controls on the touchscreen and reviews don’t make such a big deal. Besides I don’t touch these items multiple times a day? Set it and forget it.
Who in their right mind pays extra for white paint 😆. But seriously the vent controls being moved into infotainment has got to be one of the absolute worst trends in the industry. I have experienced this in several cars and didnt even realize how often we change vent positions until it was buried in a screen and become distracting and annoying just to make a minor change to one vent. I absolutely refuse to buy any car that doesnt have physical vent controls. It's maddening if you move them a lot, like we do with multiple drivers
I love technology, and far from being a Luddite. But the lag of some touchscreens buttons frustrates me to no end; at least with mechanical buttons and switches there is usually a more immediate response. And having to go to the climate control display to change the direction of the vents seems like a solution that didn’t have a problem, and perhaps downright dangerous.
It hasn't been the MKX for a number of years - basically since the mid-cycle refresh of the last generation, when it became the Nautilus. Regarding the HVAC, how much of the difficulty is a result of your testers being unfamiliar with the car? Most people will likely get used to their own vehicle fairly quickly. But I do agree that hard buttons are better for commonly used controls. And steering wheel shapes are just getting silly. The only useful divergence from the plain circle is the flat bottomed-circle, as it can make getting in and out easier, particularly if you don't have a power adjustment for the steering wheel position.
On this car the flat top of the steering wheel provides a view of the 48 inch screen without the need for a heads up display. It was actually well though out.
After 3 Lincoln’s I have to say I miss a shifter and some quick buttons to change the air. There is something about parallel parking a car using the piano keys that just doesn’t feel good.
Hopefully this business of moving controls to the screen goes away. It’s not too bad for some things if they are large icons on a large screen and you can get something done in one tap. I see controls where you tap the screen and then a menu comes up and then have to select something else. Not good.
Not a Ford/Lincoln guy at all, but I think this car looks great. Interior is a mixed bag for me. I do think some of the tech is silly, and the aesthetics are good but not great. I like the turbo hybrid powertrain option and the focus on comfort rather than sportiness. Still a huge improvement over the MKX though not something that would sway me from my preference for Volvo, Audi or Lexus.
It is a compelling package. The design is beautiful inside and out. After test driving a Hybrid Black Label version against the Genesis GV80, I went with the GV80. It was better in every substantial way.
Although the climate vents are a shame, most of the car's controls can be done through google assistant by simply saying "hey google" and then asking whatever thing. The reviewer found the review unit's seats to not be very comfortable, but the seats on the reserve III and black label trims are different and much better at the bolstering along with a massage function that works really well. The steering wheel is something you get used to after a while, we've had a 2024 Nautilus Black Label for about two months now and I speak from experience.
Man said it hard to make a quick turn, then make a quick turn. 😂 The car had Google assistant you can voice active the ac, gps, and radio. And he has the wrong seats, he need the 28 way power seats. And didn’t review the actual driving.
Sorry to our elders who finally have retired and would like to upgrade their Lincoln and will have to deal with this. I’m 31 and I would never deal with any of this.
Consumer reports has some issue with Lincoln. Good luck trying to find some good review on any of them. In fact just recently they put the Lincoln aviator and the navigator on the do not buy and to avoid them. so I’m not surprised at this report.
Not surprising. Consumer Reports has always hated GM, Ford, and Chrysler. The Nautilus is an absolutely terrific product, and you can find dozens of great reviews by automotive experts on TH-cam. It doesn't take good luck to find them. They have this new thing called Google. Try it some time.
RESERVE 401B - Deletes video screen dash. Replaces with styled dash with real instruments and controls. Deletes tacked on center screen. Replaces with actual controls in a style binnacle canted towards the driver. ($5,000) -- V6 Package: Replaces Turbo I4 with a normally aspirated DOHC V6 -- $500 --- Chrome package: Replaces all blacked out trim with bright trim and/or two-tone gloss black/polished aluminum trim. --- Color interior package: Deletes black interior with color-keyed interior in burgundy, royal blue, or jade green with contrast stitching. -- Wood package: Deletes black interior trim and replaces with warm walnut (not blacked out or grayed out) or honey chestnut (again not blacked out or grayed out). Now, we have an American Lincoln that pays at least some homage to the past while being new. Lastly: Chinese build delete. Build will now be done in the USA.
There is no V/6 on the 2024 as an option, there is no deleting the full length dash, there is no 401B package, there is no chrome package, only a Jet black package that removes the chrome look.
Kinda late, but I'm a young person and agree with some of these complaints. When I drive, I'll often do climate control or radio changes frequently, and having a knob and button makes it easy for me to do that with little effort and while driving. I'd probably get used to using screens, but the issue is doing things frequently on a screen and while driving can be distracting and dangerous. That's the main concern for reviewers here. It's just an example of making changes for the sake of it, not to actually innovate.
The controls and display are a lot better than my Tesla. Air vents work the same. I like the large display. Information in front of you not on a center screen that you have to look away from the road. Every control screen takes a couple of taps to get anywhere so your point is? I like buttons.
Yet another car manufacturer has succumbed to the temptation to lower costs by getting rid of purpose-built controls for HVAC and audio systems by putting it all on the touch screen. Big fail.
PS: One gets the feeling that Ford sent a note to its employees in order to encourage them to jump onto this forum to post "hate mail" dissing CR's assessment of the vehicle and its control systems (judging from all of the "I love this vehicle" comments seen here).
Currently shopping for a vehicle and the Lincoln Nautilus is definitely on my short list. I think if you are looking in the luxury 2 row suv segment its hard to beat the Lincoln. One thing the older boomer generation will always struggle with, is the digital synergy thats being infused more and more in this segment. If you struggle with the digital experience then the Nautilus is probably not for you. If you are comfortable with the digital experience, or perhaps, even welcome it, then this is the vehicle at the forward edge of that marriage. Will be interesting to see if other luxury brands start to steal some of the design cues that are in the Nautilus. I appreciate CR reviews, its always a good benchmark I refer to when I am in the market for any larger purchase. Yet I also inherently understand their editorial bias. Thats their lane, and they're reticent to leave it. The 'get off my lawn' style comments they intersperse in the reviews are known to be coming before I even start the vlog review.
The steering wheel is very natural. This guy is obviously anti-american auto manufacturer. What about driving? I get 32 mpg on my Nautilus Hybrid. Granted the climate controls could be better, but once you're used to them it's not a problem. I love our Nautlilus! Blue Cruise is amazing. He didn't even cover drivability. The seats are amazingly comfortable. Turning radius is extremely tight, easy to maneuver .
To me it is cool. Nowadays all transmissions are shifted into gear electronically so why do so many car makers still have the clunky gear shift lever instead of buttons like this Nautilus? That's a deal breaker to me.
In my view, this review is needlessly overdramatic on inconsequential matters. Full disclosure, I am a fan of ford. And I am on my second Lincoln luxury vehicle. Reliability, practicality and comfort has been awesome too.
That The Lincoln Nautilis is absolutely beautiful!. Well you know what they say never buy a new car the first year of the first new model. I own a Ford so I know what recalls are all about but my neighbors just bought this exact car and they’ve had it towed to the dealer twice. It was a brick twice, which means that nothing happens. Can unlock it, except for getting the key out and putting it in the fender and opening it. I’m not sure what my neighbors are going to do they’re not happy about their brand new $65,000 Lincoln Nautilis. #LincolnFordNeedsToGetItTogetherWithTheirQuality.
You can than the idiots in DC for pressuing Lincoln to switch the Ohio plant to be for e cars. Once that happened it was either build in China for two years or not offer the Nautilus at all.
That's how everything is. Shipped all our jobs to China because it was supposed to be cheaper. Turns out they just sell it at a premium and make more money 🤑🤑🤑
Basically, it's a capacitor car that build on touch capacitors to save cost for all the physical parts to increase profitability for the upper management and decrease the reliability which is what Lincoln is good at as the reliability is aiming for leasing for the first few years only as a disposable car and why it continuing it's loosing game to Japanese luxury manufactures again and... again. Keep up the good work Lincoln as it will eventually becomes a brand to be sold off!
As much as I’m impressed with the interior, I’m not impressed with that menu and operation. If it’s difficult just sitting there 100% focused, imagine doing it while driving it in traffic.
This guy completely overplayed the difficulty. Not to mention you can verbally bring up the climate controls. He is also wrong about the steering wheel.
Does Lincoln even know their customers? Does anyone believe Lincoln will even be around in 10 years? Just the name "Lincoln" alone is enough for buyers to bail on the brand. Their autos are just not good enough with the likes of BMW, Genesis, and Lexus dominating the category. I think Ford, in general, needs a makeover & Lincoln needs to get the chop in favor of a new brand that targets younger/middle aged buyers.
What a train wreck of an SUV. But then typical Ford. Can't wait to see how long the transmission lasts. My wife would not ever drive this complicated interface. Designed by someone in an office who hasn't gotten their driver's license yet.
So basically. this 2024 model is different than a traditional ICE car. Maybe this car is not designed for boomers? They are targeting a younger generation?
This is why I don't subscribe to Consumer Reports " .... then the model it replaces, the Lincoln MKX" WRONG the last year for the Lincoln MKX was 2018 and the updated looks model in 2019 became known as the Lincoln Nautilus. ALSO the 2024 model contect list is 87% Chinese and is manufacture in that country. What the HELL was ford/lincoln thinking?

Good for you! All reviews for those that actually bought it love everything about it! The reviewer in this video should stick to Toyota Corollas.
I agree! I got mine in February and I just love it!

I can deal with almost everything, it is a really nice car, but the thing about the air vents seems ridiculous, totally unnecessary and unpractical.

Automakers need to get a clue - people want physical buttons for HVAC and not have to use the screen to adjust where the airflow goes.
Agree - So many more things to break in a a few years
Yeah, I also didn't like how steering wheel controls aren't even labeled, you have to look at a screen to see what the buttons do.

Ugh! More horrible drive UI in the name of minimalism! Wish they would stop messing with stuff that's been proven to work well for decades.
A lot of money for a car made in China.
Way too much considering the labor costs are significantly lower than they are in US or Canada.
You can than the idiots in DC for pressuing Lincoln to switch the Ohio plant to be for e cars. Once that happened it was either build in China for two years or not offer the Nautilus at all.
That's how everything is. Shipped all our jobs to China because it was supposed to be cheaper. Turns out they just sell it at a premium and make more money 🤑🤑🤑
Did they mention it is manufactured in China?
That's what takes it off my list
steering is a deal breaker
I don't think this vehicle is for guys that use a 90's flip phone. Go back to the 60's in your Valiant.
Basically, it's a capacitor car that build on touch capacitors to save cost for all the physical parts to increase profitability for the upper management and decrease the reliability which is what Lincoln is good at as the reliability is aiming for leasing for the first few years only as a disposable car and why it continuing it's loosing game to Japanese luxury manufactures again and... again. Keep up the good work Lincoln as it will eventually becomes a brand to be sold off!
As much as I’m impressed with the interior, I’m not impressed with that menu and operation. If it’s difficult just sitting there 100% focused, imagine doing it while driving it in traffic.
It becomes intuitive in a few hours of driving.
This guy completely overplayed the difficulty. Not to mention you can verbally bring up the climate controls. He is also wrong about the steering wheel.
A mechanical nightmare 10nyrs from now.. but innovative
More things to go wacky and cost you unless you buy the extended warranty. The steering wheel is an offshoot to Tesla. Looks like a loser to me.
MADE IN CHINA
Making something very basic needlessly complex
Auto makers are intentionally designing their man-machine interfaces to be as distracting (and therefore as dangerous) as possible.
Horrible touch sensitive controls.
Never this car. Ridiculous driver experience. 🤦🏾♂️
Thanks for sharing. What is your experience with this car?
Made in China.
Does Lincoln even know their customers? Does anyone believe Lincoln will even be around in 10 years? Just the name "Lincoln" alone is enough for buyers to bail on the brand. Their autos are just not good enough with the likes of BMW, Genesis, and Lexus dominating the category. I think Ford, in general, needs a makeover & Lincoln needs to get the chop in favor of a new brand that targets younger/middle aged buyers.
What a train wreck of an SUV. But then typical Ford. Can't wait to see how long the transmission lasts. My wife would not ever drive this complicated interface. Designed by someone in an office who hasn't gotten their driver's license yet.
That dash screen is ridiculous. Nobody needs that. I'll stick with Buick.
who designed the controls, the screens, Ford? fire them
This thing is a fail in my book.
Old people will not be impressed! 😂 nice track though! 😮
I'm 66 and I love it. But the demographic for the Nautilus seems to be trying to capture a younger market than the typical Lincoln customer.
No wonder they can't sell Lincolns. this interior looks like a dogs breakfast.
So many reasons not to buy this car. Starting with those gawd awful door handles.
So basically. this 2024 model is different than a traditional ICE car. Maybe this car is not designed for boomers? They are targeting a younger generation?
This is why I don't subscribe to Consumer Reports " .... then the model it replaces, the Lincoln MKX" WRONG the last year for the Lincoln MKX was 2018 and the updated looks model in 2019 became known as the Lincoln Nautilus. ALSO the 2024 model contect list is 87% Chinese and is manufacture in that country. What the HELL was ford/lincoln thinking?
Was considering this vehicle, probably going to scratch it off my list after I test drive
White paint. I'm out!
White is by far the most popular car color in the US.
Lipstick on a pig.. Just like Kia/Hyundai, deep down they’re just not great..
🤣 🤣 🤣 LMAO. Have test driven this car? Lincoln only. No Ford alternative.
