For commuters, its striking cabin, loaded with comfort and convenience perks, makes long drives a dream. Plus, its two efficient powertrain options mean less time at the pump.

Performance
Let's dive in with the 2026 Nautilus's performance attributes. First off, people praise it for its two efficient powertrain options. The standard setup is a 2.0L turbocharged I-4, but every trim is available with a hybrid setup based around that same engine. The former gets 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, while the latter boosts output to 285 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. The standard setup gets an estimated 21 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway, but the hybrid gets an estimated 29 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway, making it highly appealing to those who put a lot of miles on their vehicle.
While the standard setup's engine is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the hybrid setup uses a continuously variable transmission for smooth, small steps that maximize fuel efficiency. There are also several drive modes that let your vehicle adapt to your environment and driving habits. Conserve Mode will maximize fuel economy, Excite Mode will deliver a thrilling behind-the-wheel feel, Slippery Mode will get you solid traction on wet roads, and Deep Conditions Mode is ready for sand, mud, or heavy snow; Normal Mode is the ideal blend of all. Between these drive modes, your 2026 Nautilus is ready to tackle the roads in any weather and embark on some remote explorations.
The latest Nautilus is also loaded with cutting-edge driver assistance features. These can act as your second set of eyes and ears, monitoring the roads for you and alerting you to potential hazards. The lane-keeping system monitors lane dividers, alerting you to unintentional drifting and even gently guiding you back in your lane when necessary. Adaptive cruise control lets you set your desired speed and following distance; it will reach your set speed when safe to do so and can slow down to maintain a safe following distance.
Pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking can help you avoid crashes with vehicles in front of you; it will take over braking in an emergency to prevent or minimize a collision. A blind spot information system and its cross-traffic alert notify you of vehicles in hard-to-see areas, activating indicator lights on your sideview mirror closest to the hazard. Whether you're cruising on the freeway or making your way through crowded city streets, the 2026 Nautilus will keep you safe and in command.
Interior
You'll love the inside of the latest Nautilus. Lincoln has designed its cabin to be the perfect escape from life's stressors. We'll start with a standout feature that's one-of-a-kind: Rejuvenate Mode. Lincoln calls this your "spa on wheels," and we think that's accurate. When parked, activate Rejuvenate Mode to unleash an array of relaxing treats: It will curate your posture, add heating, and give you a massage. With several heat and massage setting options, you can create the experience you crave.
Rejuvenate Mode also includes digital scents. At the press of a button, you can choose from a range of scents to create a soothing or uplifting sensation through your nose. Look at the touchscreen, and you can choose between different calming displays, too. Between the seat, scents, and imagery, your Aviator's cabin will become your haven.
Even when you aren't in Rejuvenate Mode, you can enjoy up to 24 different seat adjustments, so getting into that ideal posture for long drives—a posture that fights body fatigue and boosts control—is easy. The seats even have thigh extenders for even more positioning perfection. Plus, they're available with heating and ventilation for total-body climate comfort, no matter the season.
You'll never hear the sounds you don't want to thanks to Active Noise Cancellation, which sees a series of in-vehicle microphones emit frequencies that cancel out unwanted exterior noise. Plus, the acoustically laminated windshield and front door glass further block out outside nuisances. The result is a serene and nearly-silent cabin, perfect for conversations, music, or simply being alone with your thoughts.
Your second-row passengers will love riding with you, thanks to their sliding seats. They can move their seats backward for extra legroom, making this vehicle perfect for people who transport tall passengers. When you need more cargo space and aren't filling up that back row, you can slide the second seats forward to noticeably expand the trunk area. Speaking of, the available hands-free power liftgate enables you to access your trunk even when your hands are full. Simply swipe your foot beneath the bumper, and the liftgate will open for you.
Do you have passengers with sensitive lungs or allergies? You'll love the Auto Air Refresh air filtration system. It monitors air quality in the cabin, periodically pulling out dust, pollen, and other irritants so everyone can breathe easily. When you want to see your beautiful surroundings without breathing in allergens, the panoramic vista sunroof turns the ceiling of the SUV into a massive window.
Technology
The only 2026 Nautilus is nothing short of a technology superstar. Its cabin is loaded with perks that will help you keep on top of to-do lists, stay connected, and enjoy entertainment on the road. The first thing that will catch your attention is the 48-inch panoramic display. Including its 11.1-inch touchscreen, this is your command center; it's where you'll see incoming caller info, look up weather, manage media, see journey stats, and so much more.
A wireless charging pad makes it easy to ensure your devices always stay powered up, even when you forget your USB cord. Thanks to built-in Google Maps, you can get directions on the go, complete with real-time traffic updates and route suggestions.
When streaming media, you have three phenomenal sound systems to choose from. A ten-speaker system with a subwoofer is standard. An available 14-speaker Revel Audio System gives you more than twice as many speakers as passengers, while an available 28-speaker system from the same maker uses 3D surround sound technology to make you feel like you're right in there in the action.
Your new Nautilus will also come with a four-year complimentary Lincoln Connectivity Package. This gets you a Wi-Fi hotspot for the duration, so you'll be able to answer emails, scroll social media, use your favorite browser, and perform other internet-reliant tasks on the road. You can always extend your package when your free subscription ends.
