You have to really love all the screens and interior design to pick this over a BMW X5. That powertrain would be okay if it was in a 40-50k starter, entry-level compact luxury crossover but 80k is insane regardless if they're trying to make it more "luxury"
Enjoy these screens while they last, in 5 years regulation is going to f them lol because of a huge spike in car accidents. Although, considering new cars practically drive themselves these days, maybe not.
the difference is that the screen isnt what distracts you... its the content... when you look at a specific screen while driving you know exactly why you're looking at that screen. on a phone you have a variety of content that will distract you.. Also your phone isn't exactly a function of the car.
$80k for a 250hp turbo 4 and a small-ish SUV? That's nuts. The tech seems amazing, but not $80k amazing. A fully optioned BMW X3 M50 (which is much MUCH faster than this) is around $75k maxed out. I just don't understand Ford's pricing strategy here. It makes no sense.
The X3 is the next size down - a competitor to Corsair. For those complaining about $80k for a 4 cyl, you might want to look at what happens when you similarly max out the options on 4 cyl Macans, GLE350s, and Q7s.
A BMW will stay in the repair shop half of the time while lincoln would be more reliable. So looking at it that way, you're saving money by going with the lincoln.
Seems like manufacturers are loading up on technology and features that 99% of us will only use 1% of the times. In reality we only just need a handful of useful tech. Some of the safety features are actually helpful. And I do like the 360 camera on cars equipped with them. But all this other superfluous crap they just pile on top of one another is just a waste. It will take 5 years just to learn everything 100% and that's if you haven't crashed while driving fidgeting with it. And after 5 years you're ready for a new car anyway lol.

Give the luxury cars more leather covered surfaces sure but really these vehicles are a complete waste of resources and will only screw those that worked to build it when they randomly get let go due to terrible quarterly sales
At this price point I’d get a conservatively optioned X5, fully specced RX, or maybe a fully loaded XC60 Recharge. The pricing for this just doesn’t seem worth it to me considering the competition
@@KG_BM true but I like this interior more. Feels more like a luxury spaceship just because of the screen. Also they have redwood color which is even better on a black car It’s aight though, I’ll probably go for crown signia though. That’s what I would prefer. Black exterior with tan interior with limited trim. It’s like $51k. The used market would bless us even more if that shit came down $29k with around 43k miles
"Feels more like cosmetic luxury than actual solid feel and quality". You hit the nail on the head. The money is in all those screens and the buttons and doo dads. It trickles all the way down to the Escape. We have 4 of them in our work fleet and they feel cheap, ride cheap, and sound cheap. Even the base models we have has lots of tech with an iPad on the dash board but since 800 miles the one I use sometimes has a rattle under the dash and lots of road noise I suspect from lack of insulation and last but not least a jerky CVT transmission!
I think "cosmetic luxury" was probably the right phrase to sum-up this car. I really like the look of the interior...but there's nothing about this car that reflects the price point. The engine sound is brash and annoying - in Lincoln, I'd expect better sound deadening. The exterior design is pretty boring, but it's based on the tiny Escape, which at 6'2 I can't really fit into comfortably. I mean, it's....okay, but that's about it. For $80K, I want spectacular...maybe not Rolls Royce, but pretty damned good. This isn't it.
@@Pharaoh5611 Lincoln also made the same mistake in the 70s though. They produced the Lincoln Versailles which was just a crappy, overpriced and rebranded Ford Granada.
The amount of screens is something I have no desire for. HOWEVER, I really like the low slung dash and would actually love to see that in other cars. I realize it would be a big blank section, but I feel like it would be good for glare reduction.
The Lexus NX500 F-Sport Luxury is cheaper than this and has more power and gets better MPG. Im sure you will be able to pick these up under MSRP. Plus the car is literally creaking over rough terrain. My $25k, 4 year old car doesnt even dot that
That's a Cinese car FYI !! ALSO 22" RIMS ARE FOR CHUMPS. They look great in the showroom but they suck in the real world. They tramline, they make noise, they bang and crash over bumps, they ruin the ride, they wear out unevenly and cost a fortune to replace. Need I go on ??
My mom drives a 2024 Nautilus Black Label with 22s, it's literally more smooth and quiet than her previous car with 19s. She rarely realizes there are bumps 🤷♂️
This 4 cylinder gets worse fuel economy than my V8 LS430. And my 20 year old ls430 creaks less and is faster and has better passenger space. Who would buy this?
There's something about low dashboards with super-forward mounted instrument panels I vibe with a lot, be it an older Prius, the forthcoming Lucid Gravity, a 4th-gen Prelude, or this thing.
Their not. They are so ugly it makes me not want to look at them… also meaning that I don’t want to look at the speedometer. Cars from the 60’s had so much chrome in the interior you were blinded half the time.
A Lincoln that is built in China…for 80k?!🤦 I personally drive a Corsair and I find the fit and finish to be extremely horrible and unacceptable for its class of vehicle.
I hope there will be proper coverage of the infotainment and those screens. So much stuff should've been showcased here, but wasn't. No complaints on the rest of the video, though.
The exterior looks nice. The blacked out look really works on this. However, the big interior screen looks crazy distracting. It also sits way too far forward, creating a shelf with a lot of wasted space. I get that they were going for a cockpit like feel... but it just looks too distracting to me. Information overload. At least there is the option to turn off the right half of the screen. I think I prefer how Cadillac is doing their big screen and making the right half for the passenger.

@@Darx97 Yeah. Most cars are not worth the price that's for sure. There are some cars that are reasonable price and quality for today's market. It makes no sense why you can put a bunch of screens and take buttons and dials away and put the controls on the screen. Full on dangerous.
@@itsjaden697 one such car maker I like is genesis, they ain’t perfect but their interiors are really nice, wish they where sold in Europe, not like I could afford one but you never know 😂
Disagree. I got my Reserve II Nautilus for $65K and the only thing it’s missing from the Black Label is the color themed interior, the massaging seats and the “Black Label concierge service”. A base AWD X5 starts at $68K before you even add any options to it and the Nautilus has a nicer interior, looks cooler on the exterior (in my opinion) and gets better gas mileage. The 310 HP hybrid is plenty enough power… I’m not buying an SUV to also serve as a sports car, I would buy an actual sports car if I was trying to go fast.
@@STF-1993 No one is going to agree with you that Lincoln makes better interiors than BMW. That is just a ridiculous statement. The massive screen in this thing alone is grounds for imprisonment for whoever gave it the green light. The X5 has better fuel economy so I'm not sure why you would like about that when it takes two seconds to look it up. The fact that you're paying over $60k and getting a 2 liter engine is hilarious.
@@huehuehue-x3c That may be your opinion, which is fine, but doesn’t make it a true statement. I’ve seen many people on online groups / forums that switched over from BMW. I test drove both along with many other SUVs in the class and preferred the Lincoln. There’s nothing special or unique about the X5 interior and I have nowhere convenient near me to charge the plugin hybrid version (which is $8K more before adding any other features to it… add another $5400 if you want air conditioned seats, heated steering wheel, park assist, 360° camera and for it to do automated driving… all included on the Lincoln reserve trim).
@@STF-1993 eh it’s not just my opinion, Consumer Reports puts BMW in first place for best car brand while Lincoln is down at 21. BMW comes in at 9th place for reliability while Lincoln is down at 23rd. Also, MPG ratings aren’t opinions. There’s also the fact (not opinion) that Lincoln dealerships are not luxury dealerships.

For those of you who want to check out a bit of the infotainment, head on over to Winding Road Magazine's video on this car. It still lacks a gauge cluster showcase, but I'll take what I can get.
This engine is used in the Edge as well (Ford's Nautilus counterpart) the 2.0L is an upgraded engine for the Escape's higher trims, but has existed in the Edge for a long while now, Ford often shares their engines with different models and are retooled for those particular cars, I'll certainly miss the 2.7L V6 but thanks to fuel regulations these are killing these cars higher powered cars, I'd probably advise the Hybrid with 310hp combined for the extra performance only but 30/31mpg on a hybrid like this is a bit of a joke, they need to do better with that
Great review as always. Wow what is Lincoln thinking with their pricing? They need to follow Honda/Acura with their pricing difference for similar platforms, i.e. CR-V/RDX and Pilot/MDX.
saw one of these on the road. The Nautilus badge "stripe" thingy protrudes weirdly far into the front door and also a 4 cylinder for this much money is absurd, like the top commenter said. Pretty good looking SUV though. Rear looks stolen directly from Audi but as an Audi guy, I don't hate that lol
Hellooo! New subscriber here. I love this chanel and I loved the setups under 2500 and 1000$. Will you in a near future do an updated version? Thank you
lol...Lincoln really got ahead of themselves...Such a large screen is not needed for a few widgets. I would understand if this were an airplane where a lot of vital information is necessary.
@@66skate they are going that way because its MUCH cheaper to put everything behind a screen than it is to build individual molds and pieces for every button, knob and lever on an interior. And since brands call it "luxurious" customers are glad to pay an extra for an inferior product
One of my pet peeves about Lincoln is that they lock you out of the touchscreen as far as the phone's keypad while driving. The virtual phone system that I use requires the pressing of "1" to accept a call. GM does not lock you out but my previous Lincoln's did. Have they made an adjustment to this in the latest models?
This car is a perfect reflection of the world we live in. It screams “look at me, look at me!! I’m so cool and different!!”. Then while parked in the garage it cries its self to sleep while it waits for the next recall. Holy cow it’s also 80k.. Jesus… wtf happened.. who would buy this??
@@1MountainLife no, I rewinded the beginning of this video no joke at least 10 Times. I love the Lincoln chimes. How y’all are annoyed by music blows me. It’s literally instruments from a orchestra..
Im i the only one but this interior it the first one i have like a cozy home feeling in? I looks so home lik and nice :) i drive the w206 c class that feels futuristic but ik topgear one of the presentor also told a no car feels like home because no home is filled with leather. And how this lincoln is set up is really nice tbh :)
Bro the chime sounds like you could make drill music out of it. Also I maybe Toyota/hyundai brained but I wish this nautilus had a hybrid. At least I’d be able to afford it after five years or so ya know I’m sayin? Edit: it has a hybrid 30/31 mpg but useless since the gas counterpart can get up to that mpg
Lincoln really went for the tech and styling in this generation of Nautilus. While to an enthusiast, this vehicle doesn't make sense, anyone interested in screens galore and sharp styling, this is the ticket. Not in the Black Label trim, as it is a terrible value, but the lowest trim with the middle package is a fairly decent value. Everyone these days is cost cutting, so no surprise to see this not try to hide its cosmetic luxury status. If you want actual luxury from Lincoln, you need to step up to at least the Aviator. And it won't be that difficult to step up to the Aviator, as it has a lot of price overlap with this new Nautilus.
Style wise, I think it's a nice progression for Lincoln, but I think they missed an opportunity of giving customers a reason to want this, like a V6 engine. It may have made the ridiculous price a bit more convincing because the sound quality of Ford's 4-cylinders, and most of their engines, sounds agricultural at best. This largely goes unnoticed to the public, and barely got any attention when it launched. Like the rest of Lincoln, it fades into the background of the automotive world.
Not even joking when I say that the whole reason I would decide not to buy any new Lincoln’s these days is that horrible new chime they do lol. For some reason, it instantly annoys me when I hear it and it would live rent free in my head 24/7 if I drove one regularly. There’s obviously no way to disable that so I would literally not buy any new Lincoln because of that. Sounds dumb but it’s true

Great review as always. Wow what is Lincoln thinking with their pricing? They need to follow Honda/Acura with their pricing difference for similar platforms, i.e. CR-V/RDX and Pilot/MDX.
3:42 American rattle
saw one of these on the road. The Nautilus badge "stripe" thingy protrudes weirdly far into the front door and also a 4 cylinder for this much money is absurd, like the top commenter said. Pretty good looking SUV though. Rear looks stolen directly from Audi but as an Audi guy, I don't hate that lol
Hellooo! New subscriber here. I love this chanel and I loved the setups under 2500 and 1000$. Will you in a near future do an updated version? Thank you
That interior is a meme lmao
That screen gives future minivan vibes . To me at least
This entire car was designed to impress idiots in the showroom. If you’re impressed by a screen with corny widgets you deserve to get fleeced for 80k
lol...Lincoln really got ahead of themselves...Such a large screen is not needed for a few widgets. I would understand if this were an airplane where a lot of vital information is necessary.
Every manufacturer is going that direction because that's what customers are asking for.
@@66skate Yeah consumers like a lot of dumb things like gambling, drugs, etc. Doesn't mean it's good for you
@@andyh4464 Everyone including me does plenty of dumb things. But that's life.
@@66skate they are going that way because its MUCH cheaper to put everything behind a screen than it is to build individual molds and pieces for every button, knob and lever on an interior. And since brands call it "luxurious" customers are glad to pay an extra for an inferior product
I own a 1972 Buick Skylark & I daily drive it as well, this is absolutely insane to see 😂😂
Is it green with white vinyl top?
@@zoner__ No mine is gray & is not a convertible
One of my pet peeves about Lincoln is that they lock you out of the touchscreen as far as the phone's keypad while driving. The virtual phone system that I use requires the pressing of "1" to accept a call. GM does not lock you out but my previous Lincoln's did. Have they made an adjustment to this in the latest models?
This car is a perfect reflection of the world we live in. It screams “look at me, look at me!! I’m so cool and different!!”. Then while parked in the garage it cries its self to sleep while it waits for the next recall. Holy cow it’s also 80k.. Jesus… wtf happened.. who would buy this??
I wonder if that gauge cluster / screen is accident-proof if impacted by something sharp, heavy or in a collision.
No rear climate??? Missed opportunity. Wow
When is the Aviator getting redone?
Nice Video.
I can listen to these chimes ALL DAY LONG. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it.
Is this sarcasm? I'm 5 minutes into the video and it's already annoyed me.
@@1MountainLife no, I rewinded the beginning of this video no joke at least 10
Times. I love the Lincoln chimes. How y’all are annoyed by music blows me. It’s literally instruments from a orchestra..
@@Natethegreat200c you might have a little of the tism lol. We all do 🤷
Im i the only one but this interior it the first one i have like a cozy home feeling in? I looks so home lik and nice :) i drive the w206 c class that feels futuristic but ik topgear one of the presentor also told a no car feels like home because no home is filled with leather. And how this lincoln is set up is really nice tbh :)
Man... I love this design.. Love the interior and exterior.. That door handle and dashboard screen is incredible..
0:06 the timing of the door chime is so OFF. Irks me. Pretty lazy of Ford.
Beautiful vehicle
I'd never pay that much for a 4cyl
That wraparound almost makes it feel like a boat.
extended ford escape......best distinction of this car
I have a hard time justifying this when you could get an RX350 for cheaper
That is a cool looking Lincoln they are my favorite Luxury cars
You mentioned standard AWD. The Edge comes standard with AWD, so would this just not be the lincolm version of that and not the Escape?
I find it funny people complaining about a vehicle they cant even afford.😂
Bro the chime sounds like you could make drill music out of it. Also I maybe Toyota/hyundai brained but I wish this nautilus had a hybrid. At least I’d be able to afford it after five years or so ya know I’m sayin?
Edit: it has a hybrid 30/31 mpg but useless since the gas counterpart can get up to that mpg
Lincoln really went for the tech and styling in this generation of Nautilus. While to an enthusiast, this vehicle doesn't make sense, anyone interested in screens galore and sharp styling, this is the ticket. Not in the Black Label trim, as it is a terrible value, but the lowest trim with the middle package is a fairly decent value. Everyone these days is cost cutting, so no surprise to see this not try to hide its cosmetic luxury status. If you want actual luxury from Lincoln, you need to step up to at least the Aviator. And it won't be that difficult to step up to the Aviator, as it has a lot of price overlap with this new Nautilus.
For 100K car in EU it should have standard electric reclining of the back seats and more...
Comfort is what most luxury vehicles should go for. I can't stand a rough ride.
I like how you use the same song for all your videos, this sound system sounds meh for a premium sound system vs even the Bose system in the Miata
Style wise, I think it's a nice progression for Lincoln, but I think they missed an opportunity of giving customers a reason to want this, like a V6 engine. It may have made the ridiculous price a bit more convincing because the sound quality of Ford's 4-cylinders, and most of their engines, sounds agricultural at best. This largely goes unnoticed to the public, and barely got any attention when it launched. Like the rest of Lincoln, it fades into the background of the automotive world.
Literal spaceship
They have picked up the name for this model from The League Of Legends champion, called Nautilus.
The dash reminds me of a 4th gen Prelude!
Not even joking when I say that the whole reason I would decide not to buy any new Lincoln’s these days is that horrible new chime they do lol. For some reason, it instantly annoys me when I hear it and it would live rent free in my head 24/7 if I drove one regularly. There’s obviously no way to disable that so I would literally not buy any new Lincoln because of that. Sounds dumb but it’s true
what model are your shoes? look great
The giant wall of screens looks so 80s concept car tbh
best mom car
Got any of them screens to go with your suv?
This interior remember me Peugeot I-Cockpit
No twin-turbo V6? No sale.
They took a look at Peugeot’s interior and thought they need to do that too. Even the Steering wheel is the same shape.
Even times square has less screens and flashy lights.
