The engine is the heart of the vehicle you choose. It delivers passion and dynamism to both your routine commutes and your spontaneous adventures.
Both the Lincoln Nautilus and the Ford Edge come with engines that feature identical specs! Their base powertrains are 2.0L turbocharged engines that produce 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Pair this with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and you’ll enjoy smooth sailing for miles.
When you upgrade to their highest engine configuration—a 2.7L twin-turbocharged engine—you’ll experience an even more thrilling ride thanks to 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.
Torque Vectoring Control comes standard on either SUV. This feature balances braking and speed to deliver expert handling in all road conditions. The result? Agile maneuvering, expert articulation, and tight turning that feels effortless.
When you roll to a stop, though, you’ll get more reprieve with the Lincoln Nautilus’s Auto Hold feature. As you press the brakes when halting at a red light, stop sign, or in other braking situations, this system will hold the brakes for you. Yes, you can take your foot off the brake pedal!
The system will release the brakes when you press the accelerator. All in all, when you’re stopped, you’re stable.
If you drive an SUV and have family in mind, safety is a top priority. Both the Lincoln Nautilus and the Ford Edge take this into consideration and provide driver-assistive features.
The 2023 Lincoln Nautilus includes Lincoln Co-Pilot360â„¢ 1.0, which comes with standard features including:
- Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane-Keeping System
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
The Ford Edge has Ford Co-Pilot360â„¢ technology, which comes with matching systems to those on the Lincoln.
Both SUVs are available with several driver-assistance systems, such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering Assist. This traveling aid allows you to cruise along with other drivers on long commutes at a safe speed and following distance.
What you’ll only get with the Lincoln Nautilus are the following available systems:
- 360-Degree Camera
- Enhanced Active Park Assist
With the help of these advanced features, you can confidently maneuver into parking spots or out of complex parking scenarios.
The Lincoln Nautilus and the Ford Edge help you relax in luxury. Between their creature comforts and their advanced technologies, both SUVs prove to prioritize your comfort and convenience.
If you’re looking for a comfortable SUV, either the Lincoln Nautilus or the Ford Edge will deliver. Both models have dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control systems, which allow you and your copilot to enjoy individual climates!
On top of this feature, the Lincoln’s Soft Touch seats and the Ford’s cloth seats will comfort everyone on board. However, when it comes to you and your copilot, you may prefer the Lincoln’s power-adjustable seats over the Ford’s manual seating.
A SYNC® 4 infotainment system serves as your right hand in the Lincoln and the Ford. Because of their identical systems, you can expect to find smartphone connectivity and available built-in navigation in either SUV!
However, you’ll enjoy the greater viewing experience in the Lincoln Nautilus. Behind the steering wheel, you’ll have a 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster. On the driver’s right, there’ll be a 13.2-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen.
The Ford comes to impress with a 12-inch portrait style display; however, it’s not as grand as the one offered on the Lincoln. Plus, its two 4.2-inch LCD instrument cluster displays pale in comparison to the Lincoln’s.
