Nautilus – the successor to Lincoln MKX – joins the recently
unveiled 2019 MKC, the elegant Continental, the all-new Navigator,
and the stylish MKZ for a lineup of vehicles instantly recognizable
as Lincoln.
“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.”
Lincoln’s midsize SUV continues to attract new clients to the
brand, with a conquest rate of nearly 40 percent. New clients are
crossing over to Lincoln from Cadillac, Lexus and more. Sales
continue to be strong, and the vehicle is on track to deliver its
best sales year since its introduction in 2007. Tasteful design,
exceptional craftsmanship and room for up to five passengers make
it a popular choice for clients in the market for a luxury
crossover vehicle.
Personalized elegance
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. A new
wheel selection allows clients to order a Lincoln Nautilus to suit
their personal style.
Upon approach, Lincoln Nautilus welcomes clients with Lincoln
embrace lighting, first from the outside, then from the cabin. The
new cabin is thoughtfully designed, providing a spacious, modern
interior that keeps the focus on comfort and serves as a sanctuary
from the outside world. Acoustic side glass is added to reduce wind
noise for rear passengers, and advanced engineering solutions
decrease noise from the road.
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 orthopedic 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.
Sleek form, effortless function
A sleek console serves to open up the cabin, while the
sophisticated push-button gear shift integrates seamlessly with
classic knobs and buttons. A concealed wireless charging pad allows
compatible smartphones to stay connected, and puts an end to the
hassle of tangled cords. A large center touch screen serves as the
portal to standard SYNC® 3 with both Apple CarPlay™ and Android
Auto™ compatibility, enabling clients to manage audio, phone,
navigation and more either from that point or steering
wheel-mounted controls.
The leather-wrapped, hand-stitched steering wheel is mounted
ahead of a 12.3-inch fully configurable digital instrument cluster
that displays easy-to-read driver information crisply and
clearly.
Confidence assured
New for 2019 is a suite of Lincoln-first driver-assist
technologies designed to inspire confidence and make each journey
enjoyable.
“The technology in this vehicle is thoughtful and purposeful,”
said Galhotra. “We focused on bringing in innovative features to
make each drive effortless for our clients.”
A suite of new technologies for Lincoln Nautilus includes a
lane-centering feature that pairs with adaptive cruise control with
stop-and-go functionality to help subtly maintain the vehicle’s
position in its lane using a combination of radar and cameras. Also
debuting is evasive steer assist, which uses radar and cameras to
analyze the gap between slower-moving and stationary vehicles on
the road ahead to lessen the risk of a rear-end collision. If the
risk is high and there is insufficient space to avoid a collision
by braking, the system helps the driver steer around the
vehicle.
Additional driver-assist technologies include 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.
Two turbocharged options
Lincoln Nautilus moves to an all turbocharged engine lineup for
2019, offering a powerful 2.7-liter engine that delivers an
estimated 335 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque. Power is
delivered courtesy of three technologies – turbocharging, direct
injection and twin independent variable camshaft timing.
A standard estimated 245-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder
engine is efficient and smooth in operation. Both engines include
standard Auto Start-Stop capability, plus an eight-speed automatic
transmission.
Lincoln Black Label
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. These
include annual vehicle detailing, anytime carwashes, and access to
a select list of restaurants where noted chefs will provide an
at-your-service dining experience.
The three Lincoln Black Label themes for the new Nautilus are
Chalet, Thoroughbred and all-new Gala:
- Chalet, new for Lincoln Nautilus,
evokes the contrasting pleasures of pulse-pounding mountain slopes
and the inherent comfort of an après-ski lodge. With Espresso and
Alpine Venetian leathers and deep Silverwood appliqués, each touch
is designed to awaken the senses
- Thoroughbred celebrates the
distinguished and elite lifestyle of horse racing, offering a
reflection of traditional American history. Rich Venetian leathers
capture the spirit of the equestrian life, while Chilean Maple
wood, Alcantara® accents and Jet Black trim carry the excitement
throughout
- 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. Handsome Nouveax Armor aluminum accents bring a
lightness to the cabin, with a luster magnified by the available
panoramic roof
Effortless ownership
Lincoln continues to increase its focus on service offerings
that provide an effortless ownership experience, like standard
Pickup and Delivery for the new Nautilus. Lincoln is the only
luxury automaker to provide Pickup and Delivery as a standard
service for all its vehicles to save clients time and effort.
Additionally, starting Jan. 1, 2018, new Lincoln owners will
receive a six-month complimentary CLEAR membership, allowing them
to speed through security at participating airports and major
arenas nationwide. Lincoln Black Label members will receive a
12-month complimentary membership.
Ease of ownership is also enabled through the Lincoln Way™ app.
Lincoln Way allows clients to start, lock, unlock and locate their
new Nautilus, as well as schedule remote starts to enable the
vehicle to heat or cool to comfortable levels. Owners can use the
app to monitor fuel levels, and check tire pressures and battery
status. Lincoln Way also allows clients to make monthly vehicle
payments or pay for parking.
The new 2019 Lincoln Nautilus will be available at Lincoln
dealers this summer.
