Lincoln continues to roll out ultra-luxurious SUVs that come in a range of sizes. If you want space and style, but don't require a third row, our 2021 Lincoln Nautilus review is for you. The Lincoln Nautilus is a suave option that will serve well as a daily commuter or a family-hauler for households with only a few children.
As you'll see, the SUV has steady power, a versatile interior, plus some high-end cabin materials. At Richmond Lincoln, we can also provide a more in-depth look at the Lincoln Nautilus by organizing a test drive through Ashland, Richmond, and Mechanicsville, Virginia.
A Cabin Designed for Elegance and Ease
Settling into any Lincoln model is an enjoyable experience. The brand has long had a knack for crafting high-quality, stylish interiors. The 2021 Lincoln Nautilus is no different. The SUV fuses some new technologies with a few redesigned décor themes to create a pleasurable, luxurious cabin.
For starters, the infotainment interface of previous Lincoln Nautilus SUVs was the SYNC® 3 system. For 2021, that's upgraded to a SYNC® 4 system. The new technology is all about making interactions with the touchscreen display simpler. Whether you want to access your favorite playlist or try to find a nearby gas station, responses on the touchscreen are swift and easy to familiarize yourself with.
The touchscreen itself swells to a 13.2-inch display. There's plenty of personalization options, too, just in case you wanted to prioritize a specific feature on your home screen.
Some new colors and trim layouts come to fruition for the SUV also. For instance, Sandstone is a light, neutral interior color that will contrast nicely with the darker shading also found throughout the cabin. There's also the choice of Black Ebony, which can be had with Roast accents. A few other interior charms include:
- Real wood finishes
- Bright chrome accents
Easy, Steady Power
Driving the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus is a serene experience. While the SUV can exhibit modest sportiness if you really want to push it hard, it's at its best when cruising along the highway or meandering around town at a leisurely pace. The comfort and isolation behind the wheel is impressive.
If you want to ramp up power to its highest degree, the Lincoln Nautilus can be had with a 2.7L twin-turbocharged V6 making 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Sticking with the standard offering, a 2.0L 4-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, is still going to deliver firm throttle responses and enough power for highway merging.
