“With the introduction of Nautilus, Lincoln has a strong, distinctive portfolio with a common and recognizable identity,” said Lincoln President Kumar Galhotra. “We’re excited to add Nautilus to our Lincoln family of luxury SUVs, along with a new name that better reflects the ideas and attitudes of our clients.”

The distinctive design of Lincoln Nautilus aligns with the rest of the Lincoln family, presenting a strong, bold signature grille. The midsize utility vehicle maintains its unique, sleek shape, offering a harmonious aesthetic and aerodynamic efficiency. Additionally, a new wheel selection allows clients to order a Lincoln Nautilus to suit their personal style.

As you approach the Nautilus, it welcomes you with Lincoln embrace lighting, first from the outside, then from the cabin. Once inside, the new thoughtfully designed cabin provides a spacious, modern interior that keeps the focus on comfort and serves as a sanctuary from the outside world.

Available Ultra Comfort seats can be adjusted up to 22 ways for personalized comfort, providing lumbar massage designed to reduce fatigue. Developed with input from orthopaedic surgeons, this feature is especially beneficial on long trips or while waiting in traffic. Heated and cooled seats are available on the Reserve model. Available 13-speaker and 19-speaker Revel® audio systems offer the ultimate sound experience to add to the soothing environment.

A concealed wireless charging pad allows compatible smartphones to stay connected and puts an end to the hassle of tangled cords. A large centre touchscreen features standard SYNC® 3 with both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility.

A suite of new technologies for Lincoln Nautilus includes a lane-centring feature that pairs with adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality to help maintain the vehicle’s position in its lane.

Additional driver-assist technologies include Evasive Steer-Assist, Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Information System, active park assist, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping aid and an auto-hold feature, which relieves the driver from having to hold the brakes in stop-and-go traffic.

Lincoln Nautilus offers an all turbocharged engine lineup for 2019, including a powerful 2.7-liter engine that delivers an estimated 335 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque and a standard 245-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Both engines are smooth, sophisticated and include standard Auto Start-Stop capability, plus an eight-speed automatic transmission.

For clients seeking a unique personalized experience, Lincoln Black Label is available for the new Nautilus. Lincoln Black Label not only provides premium materials in specially curated designer themes, but also offers a host of membership privileges. The three Lincoln Black Label themes for the new Nautilus are:

• Chalet, new for Lincoln Nautilus, evokes the contrasting pleasures of pulse-pounding mountain slopes and the inherent comfort of an après-ski lodge.
• Thoroughbred celebrates the distinguished and elite lifestyle of horse racing, offering a reflection of traditional American history.
• Gala, inspired by haute couture at New York’s Met Gala, features seats draped in a deeply hued and elegant Carmine leather complemented by Onyx leather and an Alcantara headliner

The new 2019 Lincoln Nautilus will be available at Lincoln dealers this summer.
