2019 Lincoln Nautilus consumer reviews

The four cylinder is plenty of power for normal driving, it's comfortable, quiet, handles well and I love the push button gear selector. The changes I would make are to offer a captain chair option for the second row and make sun roofs a stand alone option or at least offer a delete option. Sun roofs sole purpose in life are to leak and break. Almost no one actually uses them.

All the bells and whistles, plus comfort and safety features that compare well with the European luxury brands costing way more...a great value in an American made vehicle.

Really like all the safety and luxury features but they do all come at a steep price. Mine was just over $64K and they seem to top out at about $69K with all options. The one thing I do not like at all is the auto engine shut off when stopped at a light as the car shutters and skips starting up again. There is a button to turn it off but you have to do this every time you start the car. I feel that Lincoln should have an On/Off button for this. Even tho it is designed to save gas, I would keep it off as it is that annoying when driving the car. Otherwise, the car is very nice. I have the Luxury package and the Revel Ultima sound system that comes with that package is wonderful! Very comfortable for five people with plenty of cargo room in the back so I give this car 4 out of 5 stars. Exterior of car is sharp with great design and appearance. Interior however feels dated and is in need of a refresh.

I think it is an amazing vehicle...It have so many features and I'm looking forward to acquainting myself with all of them. I really love being able to crank my car up from inside of my house.

The vehicle has all standard tech/safety that other luxury brands charge premium for. Comfortable/roomy. The controls on dash are large- easy learning curve. Front grill has that Lincoln styling.

Admit it is a comfortable car (crossover). Easier to get in and out of than my prior five MKZ’s (2006-2017). Unfortunately, given the great amount of money paid for the Nautilus, Lincoln needs to step up on quality control to meet customer expectations. And upgrade interior plastics while they’re at it. I purposely avoided the Aviator because friends and family with the new Aviator are very disappointed with reliability and quality. And they paid big bucks for a wannabe Navigator. So, I went with the Nautilus, (which is the renamed MKX and Lincoln’s way of trying to escape from disappointing sales by changing the name (sic: the one year only Zephyr in 2006 before changing name to MKZ). Big mistake on my part. I should have went with Caddy or Lexus. Heck, a Mazda C9 or Chevy Traverse similarly equipped as a Nautilus, would have been a much better buy for the money. If Lincoln wants to compete with other brands in its class, more specifically Cadillac and Lexus, they MUST concentrate on getting their product perfect, or failing that, significantly reducing their pricing on all models to make the purchase seem like any kind of value for the money. Whatever happened to “Job One”? Long forgotten at Ford except maybe for the F150 trucks.

My very large complaint is the auto start-stop that Ford has introduced. The Nautilus does have a button on the dash to disable it, but it is only good until you turn off the vehicle. I also don't like having to turn on cruised control any time you want to use it. Otherwise, it's a good looking vehicle, rides nice, nice features (my wife says heated seats are mandatory) and the lease wasn't bad.

This is my third Lincoln. It is the quietest, smoothest riding, and easiest to drive SUV in my experience of owning several different brands. The wife likes it, too.

I’ve had a new Jag, Volvo, 2 Mazdas, 2 Lincoln LS’s, several Explorers, several Escapes, MK C, all new. I never brought them back for repairs ever. This Nautilus is the one exception. Bad. Engine timing is so xxxxxxxx I can floor it to accelerate from about 20 or 30 mph, and it would pause, then surge forward. Brought it back several times. No fix. One service guy says “they’re all that way”. Navigation is so unreliable, I never saw anything like this. Nav says turn left. After I turn left, it says “make a u-turn”. Bad. My iphone just said turn right. Correct. Sometimes generates a strange address I never entered. You have to be wary, or it may lead you astray. Screen locks up sometimes. After I make a right at Main St per Nav, screen still shows “right turn at Main St” for another minute or two. Slow. Never had a car like this. Took to dealer. No fix. Stop/start feature works at times, sometimes not. Heated steering wheel, same thing. No relief.

The ride is quiet & plenty of room for grandkids & tall husband. Love the exterior & custom black grill. The technology gives several different options for using.
