The Nautilus is for those who crave style over speed in a luxury SUV.
Striking infotainment display · Spacious, luxurious cabin
Acceleration feels lackluster · Distracting-to-use controls
The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus is a head-turner, with its sleek styling and jaw-dropping digital displays setting it apart in the crowded SUV market. Its spacious cabin feels like a first-class lounge, offering a sanctuary from the chaos of rush hour traffic. However, we found the acceleration to be somewhat underwhelming, especially when merging onto highways. This is an SUV that shines in comfort and tech, not in raw performance. If you're the type who values aesthetics and a plush ride over corner-carving dynamics, the Nautilus should be on your shortlist.
Our pick: Reserve ($64,775)
vs. 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE: The GLE edges out the Nautilus in terms of performance and brand prestige, but the Nautilus counters with a more striking design and a more affordable price point.
