The Nautilus Carries Plenty of Weight
It’s hard to overstate the importance of the Lincoln Nautilus in the automaker’s lineup in America. It just smashed its own sales record with 10,370 units in Q2 2026 – almost two-thirds of those buyers ditched other luxury brands to get one.
But the Nautilus isn’t just racking up sales – it’s also caught up in a bigger shakeup. Ford wants to bring production of some China-built Lincolns back to the US by 2030, thanks to tariffs and new tech rules. The Nautilus is right in the middle of that action.
For now, though, the 2027 Nautilus sticks with its China-built roots while adding new looks and cabin upgrades to keep things interesting.

A More Detailed Take on Luxury
Up front, the Nautilus now wears a wider, flashier grille, a new hood, and fenders that look like they’ve been hitting the gym. The signature lighting ties it all together, and out back, slimmer taillights make sure everyone sees the Lincoln name loud and clear.
You get five design options for the wheels, from 19 to 22 inches. The Jet Appearance Package piles on the gloss-black trim and bigger wheels, while a new Nocturnal Blue paint joins the lineup. If you’re going all-in with Black Label, there’s an exclusive Frosted Fig finish just for you.
Inside, Premiere and Reserve trims get a new Afterglow theme, while Reserve also offers Hot Chocolate – yes, that’s really what it’s called. Black Label buyers can choose between Eminent Hour, channeling desert sunsets, and Elysian Light, inspired by a sunrise over water. Fancy enough for you?
Lincoln’s wellness obsession isn’t going anywhere. The Renew Package bundles up Lincoln Rejuvenate with 24-way massaging front seats that remember your favorite spot. There’s even Digital Scent to make the cabin smell just right.
The massive 48-inch panoramic display still dominates the dash, and now Google Maps, apps, and voice help come standard with the Lincoln Connectivity Package. You also get four years of connectivity, security, and BlueCruise 1.5 thrown in.

Familiar Power, More Standard Technology
Under the hood, you still get a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft, paired to an eight-speed auto. Want more? The hybrid pairs a punchier 2.0-liter turbo with a 100-kW electric motor and CVT for a total of 285 horses.
Of note, the hybrid is quite popular, now making up more than half of Nautilus sales. Lincoln’s not forcing anyone to go electric, though – you still get to pick your power.
You can order the 2027 Nautilus now, with deliveries set for early next year. Pricing? Lincoln’s keeping that under wraps for now.
