Buying Advice


Among all the trims we would recommend you to go with the standard trim, at $42,500, which also has many good features and provides the same drive experience as the top models. There is less chance that you might find an extraordinary feeling in the top trims. Not to miss out the top trim offer a more refined 2.7L V6 and more power. The best thing is it gets an All-Wheel-Drive option. The price is kept competitive in the standard and is better than what many rivals are offering for the same.

Engine and Performance
7.1/10


"The 2021 Lincoln Nautilus doesn’t pretend to be sporty, but it is quick and comfortable." - The Car Connection

The 2021 Lincoln Nautilius remains unchanged on the powertrain front and gets the same engine options like the 2020 Lincoln Nautilus. The base trim, at $42,500 gets a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 and the high-end trim gets a 2.7L turbocharged V6. The 2.0 Liter Turbo Inline-4 churns out 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. For the power-thirsty customers, the Nautilus also offers an optional 2.7 Turbo V6 engine which makes around 335 hp that proves quite handy on tap when flexing the gas pedal on those highway merges and overtakes.

Regardless of the engine option, you go for, the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus gets an 8-speed automatic transmission that delivers all the grunt to the front wheels of the SUV. The Lincoln Nautilus can be configured with an AWD drivetrain for some additional bucks over the selected trim's MSRP. However, the range-topping variant, 2021 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve gets an AWD drivetrain as standard.
