Overall Rating
An array of new exterior colors and packages are on offer for enhancing the luxury and premium stature of the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus
Radiating the luxury spirit and performance thrust, the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is continuing with its 3-trim lineup of Standard, Reserve, and Black Label. Priced at a starting MSRP of $42,500, it is about to feature 3 new exterior colors in general and a new interior theme for the Black Label configuration. Even a pair of new packages, as per trim specifics, have been included in the offers.
With a 250 hp, 2.0L Turbo I-4 and a 335 hp 2.7L Twin-turbo V-6, the Lincoln Nautilus boasts a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs alongside its premium interior cargo capacity of up to 68.8 cu-ft. Also, leasing this luxury SUV can be an expense of at least $496/month for 48 months with a signing payment of $4,866 while having an annual range of 10,500 miles. It has already been released for sale in the market space straight against the emblems of the Volvo XC60, Lexus RX 350, and Cadillac XT5.
The Reserve trim of the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is easily the pick in the lineup. Its high tech ends and embedded heating-ventilation duo for seating bolster its stance. The level of sophistication it offers with its customization options with available packages further give it a lead over the Standard trim and a step to cherish the same feel of the Black Label at a lower price.

"Of all the Lincoln SUVs, the Nautilus best captures the soft-riding, boat-like character of the brand's historic luxury sedans." - Car And Driver
The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus has been introduced with the Standard trim as the base model at a price tag of $42,500. In this configuration, it features Lincoln Soft Touch heated front seats along with a 10-speaker sound system and SYNC4 for entertainment perspective. The Forward Collision Warning and Dynamic Brake Support are also added to the standard safety suite.
The Reserve, being a higher trim, is priced a little higher at $48,900. For such an expense, it further adds heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and Connected Built-in Navigation. The last in the trim lineup is the most feature-rich with exclusive Venetian Leather Upholstery and Revel Ultima Audio System with 19-speakers as standard features.

The Reserve trim of the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is easily the pick in the lineup. Its high tech ends and embedded heating-ventilation duo for seating bolster its stance. The level of sophistication it offers with its customization options with available packages further give it a lead over the Standard trim and a step to cherish the same feel of the Black Label at a lower price.
"with a decent amount of ground clearance, it's not a rough-and-ready SUV. But it can handle dirt roads and slippery surfaces." - Kelley Blue Book
With a 2.0L Turbo I-4 engine as standard, the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus rallies with 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. This specific powertrain is available for the Standard and Reserve trims coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission either in FWD or AWD where the AWD can cost up to $3,900 extra. While the 335 hp 2.7L V-6 engine has been fitted as optional for the Reserve and as inherent for the Black Label in conjunction with 8-speed SelectShift automatic transmission only.
Having a stiff suspension, the Lincoln Nautilus comes with a damped cabin. The vibration dampening is further complemented with enhanced wheel geometry when adaptive suspensions are employed in the Black Label configuration. This allows it to have a monitored alignment with high traction contact on the ground. Also, the standalone evasive steering assist keeps the handling pursuit on a whole different level as the more sensitive response with calculated input reduces the effort.
Capable of accelerating from 0-60 MPH in 6.9 seconds, the 2022 Nautilus impresses with its 15.4 seconds quarter-mile drag as well. It can even speed up to 135 MPH without breaking a sweat. However, the braking unit of 13.8-inch front and 12.4-inch vented discs have been integrated too alongside 4-wheel ABS and Brake Assist for curbing the braking distance within limits. The Auto Hold and Electric Parking Brakes also accompany the overall braking efficiency.

Based on the review, the Nautilus is 0.7 seconds quicker than the XT5 in 0-60 MPH yet costs $3,500 less. The same stays true for the quarter-mile sprint as well. Meanwhile, it is half a second slower than the XC60 in both the aforementioned parameters, hence, justifying the $1,500 more expensive price tag of the latter. From RX 350 perspective, the performance remains parallel except for the top speed where the Nautilus has a 6 MPH higher speed altogether.
"All Nautilus models get comparable fuel economy ratings, and the numbers are better than average for the luxury midsize SUV class." - cars.usnews.com
The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus offers a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG but that may turn to 25 MPG while throttling on the highways. As far as range is concerned, the peak figure rests at 450 miles while the average comes at 396 miles.

As per data, the Nautilus has a 0.8-gallon smaller tank and 2 MPG less fuel efficiency than XC60 resulting in 55 miles range deficit. Even the XT5 has got a gap of over 100 miles against the Nautilus because of its 4-gallon bigger fuel capacity.
"One of the most affordable five-passenger luxury SUVs, the Lincoln Nautilus delivers exceptional value with its large, comfortable cabin, impressive refinement and standard tech." - TrueCar
One of the highlights of the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is its sheer interior opulence that shades Ebony/Sandstone Luxury Soft Touch seating in the Standard trim. This further upgrades to Roast and Slate accented Weir Deepsoft Leatherette in the Reserve variant. The best-in-class is the Venetian Leather Upholstery in Alpine and Luggage Tan formats that come in the Black Label configuration and that too with a newer Black Label Flight theme.
Deluged with comfort and convenience, the Lincoln Nautilus characterizes itself with heated and ventilated front seats in pairing with a heated rear row from Reserve onwards. Also, the power-adjustable heat assist steering column is made available for the Reserve and Black Label only. In terms of cabin cargo, the capacity varies from 37.2 cu-ft to 68.8 cu-ft once all seats are folded.

As per analysis, the 2022 Nautilus has got 7.2 cu-ft bigger cargo volume than the Cadillac XT5. Even the rear row shoulder room in the former is more than the latter by 3-inch. It also receives 1.5-inch on average extra headroom and legroom over the XC60 in the second row. Speaking of the infotainment system, Lincoln attributes a SYNC4 with a 10-speaker sound system as a standard in the base model.
As we move up the trim level, the Connected Built-In Navigation finds its presence inside the cabin. However, the 13.2-inch LCD Capacitive Touchscreen and the 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster display screen are inherent throughout the production line. And for an advanced echoing musical zone, the Black Label gets Revel Ultima Audio System with 19-speakers.
"The Nautilus cuts a dashing profile, with an athletic stance that's underscored by sharp air intakes and just enough chrome." - CarsDirect
The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus has been sculpted to have both elegance and ruggedness. The front sports full LED Auto HighBeam headlamps encompassing the chrome-finish grille. Ditching the previous 5 exterior colors and replacing them with 3 new ones make its 9-color pallet of Bronze Smoke Metallic, Gilded Green Metallic, and many more an inspiring one to clad it with.
Along with that, in the rear, the Lincoln Nautilus gets a power liftgate and on top, a Panoramic Vista Roof where the latter is installed for the higher two trims only. Moreover, it dashes on a melange of wheels including the 18-inch, 20-inch, and 21-inch ones. Also, one can even opt for the optional Monochromatic Package at $1,895 with the Reserve trim where it gets an upper-mesh grille and 20-inch black aluminum wheels.

From data comparison, the Nautilus is 12-inch wider than the XC60, RX 350, and XT5. But it falls short by 0.6-inch in ground clearance against the XC60 and XT5. As a result, it appears to have slightly struggling maneuvering on rough terrains or while off-roading. Apart from these, there are some notable exterior features that have been mentioned below:
"The Nautilus still needs better standard headlights." - The Car Connection
Since mechanically unchanged from the 2021 model year, the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is likely to have a "Good" safety rating by the IIHS. Not just that, it is also certain that it will be inducted for the "Top Safety Pick" award by the IIHS. Regarding the NHTSA safety rating, it has not been scored yet but being based on the same platform as that of the Ford Edge, a 5-star mark is just explicitly stated. Moreover, it receives Lincoln 360 Co-Pilot safety suite which offers the mentioned safety features:
The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is simply way too spacious for a long-stretched comfort seating. However, when it is a matter of powertrain dominance, the XC60 overtakes in both performance and range practicality. And the safety status of a Volvo is in itself a benchmark. So, collectively, it has to be XC60 for an all-round approach.
Though the 2022 Lexus RX 350 has a better range reach but apart from that it struggles against the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus in every sector. From performance dynamics to cabin roominess to cargo capacity, the Lincoln Nautilus is a class in its own right and that too at a reasonable price. Therefore, Nautilus gets the preference.
The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus has got the edge in both performance power surge and overall space management. The ease in seating in both rows and the amount of cargo volume along with such inspiring interior accents are just too good for XT5. Hence, Lincoln Nautilus is the clear favorite.
The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is a spot-on Luxury SUV on offer by the brand. The comfort and isolation are top-notch, ride quality is simply as premium as it should be, and the safety prowess dominates any uncertainties. The interior trims on the inside and the exterior outlook appeal together entice one to own it without having a second thought about it.
