We've owned our 2024 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label Hybrid since March of 2024. When we ordered, back in August 2023, there was very little information from Lincoln and the automotive press. But on paper, the 2024 Nautilus Hybrid surpassed the '23/'24 Lexus RX 350h in so many metrics. Such as horsepower and torque, rear seat leg room, cargo room and was feature rich with tech such as hands free driving that the Lexus, nor any other midsize luxury SUV, offered. We took a real leap of faith and ordered the 2024 Nautilus with the hopes it would knock our socks off when it arrived. It doesn't disappoint! The ride, the power, the fuel economy, the spaciousness, the luxury materials, superb fit and finish! We have nearly 7,000 miles on our 2024 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label Hybrid and truly couldn't be happier!
In America we are told Chinese manufacturers would put domestic car manufacturers out of business because they would flood the market with cheap (affordable) vehicles. Then I see this video and can't help but think our government is holding back affordable cars in exchange for overpriced SUVs.
A few things to address for the comments critical of this car. If yall are worried about the reliability on one of these, the car is not meant for you.. These are meant to be leased new for about 2 or 3 years before things start to break and then move onto another new car lease. We have one in our garage and from driving experience, the screens arent distracting at all because theyre put very far back on the dashboard, if anything its been a little easier to drive with it so much further back than conventional cars. Id also reccomend going for the hybrid drivetrain option across any of the trims, the regular gas engine model's power just doesnt cut it. If youre worried about the transmission on the hybrid model being a cvt, dont panick its not a cvt 😅, its an eCVT which runs on gears and electric motors which is a comepltely different setuo from the regular belt driven CVT that has a bad rep... As for pricing, people keep assuming the model starts at 80k, it actually starts at the mid 50s and only the top end black label trims start at the 75k price range, part of why that trim is so much higher priced has to do with the top level grade of leather that it uses over the standard or faux on lower trims and also the complimentary services the dealership will do for you simply because you own a black label. As for it being built in China, ive been in other Lincolns built in the US and this one beats all the US made ones in build quality, and its not even close. Actually, having been in many Ford Motor Comany vehicles, ive never seen one with as little squeaks and rattles as this Nautilus. Everything is very solid.
@keithjackson4985 yes it makes little sense to get one of these used unless you're up for repair bills.. This is the same for many other luxury brands with not so good reliability like Land Rover, Mercedes, etc.
The new Lincolns have been catching my eye recently as I find them quite pleasing to look at. I am happy that the brand has finally found a good design philosophy. They have come a long way from what they were just a few years ago. Thanks for the great review.
Go look at one of these in person. Sadly the exterior is the most plain, boring, unassuming, and non-luxury looking SUV I have ever seen. No wonder I don't see them on the road. The Aviator looks much better. They should but the 48 inch display in that.
@@MrWhaatay oh the Aviator is definitely one of the best looking ones out there. And I mentioned it in my comment. This I haven't seen yet, as I believe it's not available where I live yet.
@@thismanagain I wouldn't go that far. It us one if the best looking out if what Lincoln has to offer. The natilus also sits too low to the ground. Makes it look like a cheap station wagon.
@@thismanagain Car is right. It doesn't even look like an SUV. I am all for city SUVs but thus is pure garbage designwise. Cadillac is a city SUV. I don't think I have seen a more unattractive SUV than the Natlius. I wouldn't call it ugly but there is nothing outstanding about it.
There are few things in life worse than a bad neighbor. When it comes to this it seems that you hit a grand slam by having Martin as your neighbor. What a kind and gentle soul he is. The world can surely use many many more kind people like him. If you have any houses for sale on your block kindly let me know so that I too can enjoy the friendship of this wonderful man
I know, right, I'm looking at the thing thinking, how much data do I need? and why is the clock larger than the speedo? why questions always get us into trouble.
First off, great review as always. But I have to ask, who is this car for? $80,000+ for 250 HP and riding on the same C2 platform as the Escape/Bronco Sport/Maverick? When you get into 80K territory, there are a lot of options out there... I couldn't imagine spending that much money on a gussied up Escape. I recently had a 2024 BMW X5 E50 as a rental (put over 1,300 miles on it). With the options it had, it was around $85,000. For the extra money, you get BMW's fantastic B58 engine pumping out 483hp and 516 lb torque. You also get a battery pack that's capable of up to 40 miles of range. The week I drove it, I averaged 27 mpg (once the battery was depleted). When you could buy a nicely equipped BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Genesis, Porsche, Lexus, etc... for around the same money, you'd have to REALLY LOVE Lincoln to make that purchasing decision. To each their own!
Not sure if it's been mentioned but I kind of feel like it was Ford with the 2013 Escape that started the kick tail gate? Off hand I can't think of anything earlier than that with that feature. Anyway, love your videos! They do indeed look GREAT on TV!
Former grocery worker and current Tetris player and I have to say you could have gotten in one more package of TP in the back there. 😂😎 Other than that great review as always. 👍🏽
After sitting in this vehicle I can say that it brings a unique interior to our traditional driving due to its screen, however, it feels more like a oversize sedan due to its ground clearance rather than an suv
Make it on the cheap, make it with "good enough" quality, and cut those pesky line workers in the States that demand to be paid, treated with dignity, have health care, and don't work under the fear of being "disappeared".
@@TJDST4 they never proved their worth- Ford quality by American workers is Just as bad - sloth ridden UAW workers in Michigan- as it is in Mexico or wherever..
I own this car. For those of you who are afraid of a Chinese built car, this is a Better Built car than my previous honda. It doesn't have any squeaks or rattles and everything fits together just fine. By the way the TV you are watching tonight the phone you are holding right now all of the clothes you are wearing pretty much your entire product life came from China. Tesla, honda, gm, nissan, volvo, and many more build cars in China. They are very modern facilities. I have no real complaints about the car
Awesome review Tom, as always you and your team does an excellent job. One question I have is with respect to the stereo system which seems to be left out in a lot of reviews. How did this vehicle sum up. Was the sound the stereo produced really nice and on the higher end? Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you in advance!
I mention it at 1:27. It's one of the better systems in my opinion. The soundstage of the 3D positioning isn't overdone or gimmicky. Hi end is crisp without being shrill. Bass is full and tight without booming. At the end of the day, you'll have to demo it for yourself with source material you're familiar with. Sound systems are tricky to put into a video review so usually only give it a sentence or two.
🖐 recently got a 2024 Nautilus to replace a Mercedes GLE 350, before that and Audi Q7, before that a Lexus RX. All of those vehicles were pretty good in quality, ride and reliability. To our surprise, the Lincoln Nautilus beats them all hands down in every area. Got the well worth it self charging hybrid version, small extra cost and getting 30+ mpg with regular gas. Wow is the word.
She is licking an ice cream cone. But does look like a …. Try listening to them. There energy and soul fullness comes through the video. They are pretty good. It is simple harmony with auto tune. Don’t judge a book by its cover. It was a pleasant sonic surprise. 😊
Wait until all this high tech and huge screens start to fail in coming years. Find parts? Cost? Expect many thousands of dollars to replace. Maybe over $10k.
Outrageous prices. And so much to break! That screen alone is $30,000 to replace. And it will NOT last 200,000 without fading or failure... the more electronic the failure rate is higher.. best to buy a simple rav4 hybrid.. and keep it problem free for 30yrs..! No joke!
Green Light: Style for days inside and out, spare tire, uniqueness. Yellow Light: Huge wheels make for a harsher ride, no rear climate zones(!) Red Light: (for some) country of manufacture, reliability unknown
Interesting to see this revolutionary screen concept - as BMW are planning something similar for their ‚neue Klasse‘ generation that is expected to be launched next year…
Those screens are nice now, but in 8 to 10 years, if this car is still on the road, I guess the days of being able to keep your car up to date by updating the head unit are over. Guess manufacturers are going after the buyers that replace their cars every 5 to 10 years now…
Nice car, but for the money I'd rather drive a top of the line Lexus RX that is reliable and will have better resale value. Maybe I'd lease a Nautilus, but I wouldn't buy one.
Im not a fan of having a best buy tv department in my car. Its distracting and annoying. At night its worse if you are long hauling it keeping your eyes on those light projectors. No i know its all for show. Just think of this thing 15 years down the line on a buy here pay here used car lot with all those screens busted up and or not working. Then you go to try and replace the screen only to find out the manufacturer stopped supporting it years ago. Dont believe me? Try fixing your Infiniti, No? Ok what about GM, Try fixing your 06 Park Ave ultra. Yea its not happening, they tell you to go to a junk yard and try your luck. I know first hand.
Frankly, the Nautilus, from its exterior to interior, clearly reflects Chinese automotive design. China is a step ahead in electric vehicles. You might be skeptical, but if you visit China, observe the cars on the streets, and hop in a few rideshares, you’ll see that Chinese cars feel like the next generation of industrial products-just like this Lincoln, which is made in China. If Lincoln didn’t adapt, it would struggle in the Chinese auto market. Thanks for it’s an American, this "made in China" model can be sold in the U.S. If Chinese cars ever enter the U.S. market without tariff protection, it could transform the entire industry. Again, you don’t have to agree with me, but after visiting China, you might change your mind.
We bought a Honda Pilot Touring AWD recently. Wife loves it. Did not even look at Lincoln. The Honda is smooth with naturally aspirated V6 and so functional. It doesn’t have gimmicks like this made in China Lincoln.
Hello, I am in the market for a new car. I am deciding between a Lincoln Nautilus and a Cadillac Lyriq. After driving both, which one would you recommend?
If you can charge at home and don't often drive more than 250 miles Lyriq is nice. Can't charge at home? Maybe go with the Lincoln. You've test driven both, right? They are very different vehicles and I have no idea what you want/need in a vehicle.
I don't think they feel this will sell in big volumes here. Small suvs sell well, and bigger three row suvs. This is a bigger seller in china and it was easier to import the few theyll want than to spin up a whole new assembly line. Its like the old CT6 hybrid or the Volvo S90. They could build them here...but it becomes logistically difficult for a small volume
i like the design of the new lincolns i just wish they kept at least the continental and why isn't it an ev version of any of these models ? ... 80k is about 10k overpriced ...
The exterior is a bit (yawn) boring. I like the look of the interior and the placement of the large screen. The power train, on the other hand, is seriously under-powered, in any trim. Given the price point, it's just not good enough. Looks like yet another example of Ford/Lincoln trying to put a luxury car shell on an economy car chassis and still get away with asking ridiculous prices. And when you consider the "subscription" they require to operate components already purchased on this car...hard pass. They can keep it, along with everything else made by that brand. I've never been brand loyal one way or another, but I REFUSE to contribute to or by way of purchase enable this idiotic trend of car companies charging people subscriptions to operate things that already come on the car as part of the purchase price. The only thing these troglodytes appear to understand is money, so I'll keep mine well away from them. Hopefully, others will do the same.
@@RoguePlanetStudio same. I don't reward companies who refuse to hire and support citizens in their origin country. Cut exec salaries and positions first before you outsource.
@@Alex-se3uythe nautilus was built in canada before this 😂. They're building in China for now because canada factory is being rebuilt for electric vehicle support.
@@Alex-se3uy they've expressed plans on transitioning to full ev at some point like many other brands, manufacturing in China is becoming less and less profitable due to tariffs and ev tax credit deals only apply for vehicles manufactured in the US. Is it so naive to think they won't jump at this opportunity to stop building in China? Also this nautilus is technically not new for 2024, it's been around since 2023 as a China only model and it seems probable they started shipping the China model overseas because the US version Nautilus cannot be even assembled right now. All of this points at a temporary manufacturing plan for China capped at the end of this generation of Nautilus.
Full hybrid not plug in, you can upgrade to the full hybrid for $1500 on any of the three trims. It gives you a 60hp boost over the regular gas engine and a eCVT transmission instead of an 8 speed auto.
I drove one and it has crazy turbo lag and somethings were rattling when braking. also something was shaking in the side panel. made in China. Also,, an hour earlier I drove a new mazda cx70, it was nice, so I had something to compare with the lincoln.
Big screen just to hide how good it doesn't handle! Screen is impressive but that's it! Small steering wheel sucks! Then they got the navigator and took the rear light from here and put them on the big boyyy! Navigator looks nice in the front but the back is garbage and the inside screens are crap!! 👎👎👎
ugh, drony four, good luck with luxury feeling. was that a single hood latch I saw? POS ford build quality. enjoy the fancy stuff before it breaks. and on a bronco sport platform. wth?!?
While mounting the rear window wiper at the top cleans up the look, it doesn't clean much of the window. That's why most manufacturers mount it at the bottom of the window, much more efficient with the better view. The car is just too expensive and underpowered for a wannabe luxury brand.
The previous President wanted Ford to close its factory in Mexico. Ford now ships vehicles from China instead of Mexico. American workers, rejoice! You've been taken care of.
Made in China!?!? Are you kidding me!!?!? Seriously, they're having this built in China and STILL charging these prices?!? Screw that noise! Ford/Lincoln just lost a HUGE amount of respect and potentially any future business from me.
Sadly the exterior is the most plain, boring, unassuming, and non-luxury looking SUV I have ever seen. No wonder I don't see them on the road. The Aviator looks much better. They should but the 48 inch display in that.

For this kind of money, I would expect a plug-in hybrid with at least 400hp. Beautiful SUV, but way underpowered IMO for what they're asking for.
We bought a Honda Pilot Touring AWD recently. Wife loves it. Did not even look at Lincoln. The Honda is smooth with naturally aspirated V6 and so functional. It doesn’t have gimmicks like this made in China Lincoln.
Hello, I am in the market for a new car. I am deciding between a Lincoln Nautilus and a Cadillac Lyriq. After driving both, which one would you recommend?
If you can charge at home and don't often drive more than 250 miles Lyriq is nice. Can't charge at home? Maybe go with the Lincoln. You've test driven both, right? They are very different vehicles and I have no idea what you want/need in a vehicle.
I've test-driven both, and I like and dislike things about both. At this point, it is coming down to a coin toss. LOL@@DrivenCarReviews
@@swiftkey721 well, best of luck with your decision. A reminder that you’re fueling cost should be significantly lower with the EV.
Tom, I still can't get over "assembled in China". Really Lincoln? Really Ford? How? Why? Also, what if I just have BS tow; can it tow BS w/o the "L"?
China's manufacturing is improving though, so it's not much of a concern now.
@@thismanagain Indeed; the Teslas built in China were superior in quality to the ones built in the US until very recently.
@@JustMe99999 and of course there's the low costs of building.
I don't think they feel this will sell in big volumes here. Small suvs sell well, and bigger three row suvs. This is a bigger seller in china and it was easier to import the few theyll want than to spin up a whole new assembly line.
Its like the old CT6 hybrid or the Volvo S90. They could build them here...but it becomes logistically difficult for a small volume
i like the design of the new lincolns i just wish they kept at least the continental and why isn't it an ev version of any of these models ? ... 80k is about 10k overpriced ...
based on bronco sport... based on ford escape?
$82k escape? lol
I mean, it's a real nice escape
word. a bronco sport?!?! that right there is fomoco. but, it's got big screens and massaging seats!!!
It's all new
The exterior is a bit (yawn) boring. I like the look of the interior and the placement of the large screen. The power train, on the other hand, is seriously under-powered, in any trim. Given the price point, it's just not good enough. Looks like yet another example of Ford/Lincoln trying to put a luxury car shell on an economy car chassis and still get away with asking ridiculous prices. And when you consider the "subscription" they require to operate components already purchased on this car...hard pass. They can keep it, along with everything else made by that brand. I've never been brand loyal one way or another, but I REFUSE to contribute to or by way of purchase enable this idiotic trend of car companies charging people subscriptions to operate things that already come on the car as part of the purchase price. The only thing these troglodytes appear to understand is money, so I'll keep mine well away from them. Hopefully, others will do the same.
As soon as you said china it was a no go
Why?
@@RoguePlanetStudio same. I don't reward companies who refuse to hire and support citizens in their origin country. Cut exec salaries and positions first before you outsource.
@@Alex-se3uythe nautilus was built in canada before this 😂. They're building in China for now because canada factory is being rebuilt for electric vehicle support.
@yejoonyang9552 Naive to think they'd only build in China "for now".
@@Alex-se3uy they've expressed plans on transitioning to full ev at some point like many other brands, manufacturing in China is becoming less and less profitable due to tariffs and ev tax credit deals only apply for vehicles manufactured in the US. Is it so naive to think they won't jump at this opportunity to stop building in China? Also this nautilus is technically not new for 2024, it's been around since 2023 as a China only model and it seems probable they started shipping the China model overseas because the US version Nautilus cannot be even assembled right now. All of this points at a temporary manufacturing plan for China capped at the end of this generation of Nautilus.
where is this 4 cylinder 50,000 ford edger manufactured?
How about watching the road while driving instead of a 60" screen!!
PHEV?
I asked Lincoln PR. Got the classic "we don't comment on future product" answer.
Full hybrid not plug in, you can upgrade to the full hybrid for $1500 on any of the three trims. It gives you a 60hp boost over the regular gas engine and a eCVT transmission instead of an 8 speed auto.

Sounds weird or is it just me?
I'd say nondescript.
Will Ford have to pay the tariff for cars made in China on the Nautilus?
I drove one and it has crazy turbo lag and somethings were rattling when braking. also something was shaking in the side panel. made in China. Also,, an hour earlier I drove a new mazda cx70, it was nice, so I had something to compare with the lincoln.
This had little to no lag and not one squeak or rattle.
Troll
@@peteharris556um no, not a troll. I test drove this and it was horrible. do you always leave lame comments? did you drive or own one?
What a shame Lincoln is building these in freaking China 🇨🇳I would still buy the Lincoln because I own one, now reliable issues at all
The Chinese are manufacturing good cars nowadays even the US is asking for help
Like it, but it's $15k too expensive to be designed and built in China. At $82k, who would ever buy this over a BMW x5?
It's $69K FWIW
Big screen just to hide how good it doesn't handle! Screen is impressive but that's it! Small steering wheel sucks! Then they got the navigator and took the rear light from here and put them on the big boyyy! Navigator looks nice in the front but the back is garbage and the inside screens are crap!!
👎👎👎
This much screen should be illegal
Why?
just think, it could get a tariff and add extra cost that shouldn't be there in the first place.
two words - porn
Toyota fan girl🤓
Ok gramps
ugh, drony four, good luck with luxury feeling. was that a single hood latch I saw? POS ford build quality. enjoy the fancy stuff before it breaks. and on a bronco sport platform. wth?!?
That’s a hideous dashboard.
While mounting the rear window wiper at the top cleans up the look, it doesn't clean much of the window. That's why most manufacturers mount it at the bottom of the window, much more efficient with the better view. The car is just too expensive and underpowered for a wannabe luxury brand.
It's built in China and exported to the US
I could get ticketed for distracted driving with a screen that big.
think how it'd be watching porn!
I'm only sticking to top Japanese cars, not throwing my money away on repairs.
The previous President wanted Ford to close its factory in Mexico. Ford now ships vehicles from China instead of Mexico. American workers, rejoice! You've been taken care of.
I don't care how good it is, I'm not buying a Chinese subscription car
yea yea yea ...
actually, problem is it's a fomoco product, regardless of country of origin
Blah blah blah… if you own a smart phone you already pay for the same technology
Stay in the past then.
No TikTok either. Or Temu.
Made in China!?!? Are you kidding me!!?!? Seriously, they're having this built in China and STILL charging these prices?!? Screw that noise! Ford/Lincoln just lost a HUGE amount of respect and potentially any future business from me.
Sadly the exterior is the most plain, boring, unassuming, and non-luxury looking SUV I have ever seen. No wonder I don't see them on the road. The Aviator looks much better. They should but the 48 inch display in that.
is this a glorified Ford Edge?
No. Just chinese crap. 💩
not as much as it used to be. I'm sure there are Edge bits, but the chassis is its own
Is the RX a glorified Venza?
nope, glorified bronco sport
@@DrivenCarReviews glorified venza > glorified anything fomoco
$69,000 for a 4 cylinder Ford Bronco Sport oh my bad a Ford Escape
Really good looking vehicle, inside and out. But it is an American luxury brand built in China. You just have to laugh. 🤣
So dumb
A Chinese-built 2000cc four popper yoked to a CVT.
This is a glorified rickshaw lmao
where do you think most stuff is made?nintendo included! but I get your point!
Not a cvt
@@peteharris556 Hybrid is CVT, 2.0T is 8-speed. Still a glorified rickshaw. Should definitely buy one.
1750 pounds of towing capacity. Pitiful.
we need more crap in a car to distract us from driving yeah lets hit the next tree
