A Luxury SUV Built for the Way You Drive

If you're shopping for a Lincoln Nautilus in Richmond, KY, Gates Ford Lincoln has the luxury SUV that turns ordinary commutes into something genuinely pleasant. The Nautilus blends quiet power, intuitive technology, and the kind of refined comfort that makes you want to take the long way home.

• Choose between a turbocharged gas engine or an available hybrid that adds power and efficiency.
• BlueCruise hands-free highway driving comes standard on every trim, easing the stress of longer drives.
• A 48-inch panoramic display stretches across the dash, putting navigation, media, and vehicle info within easy reach.

The Nautilus sits at the heart of Lincoln's lineup, offering midsize space, standard all-wheel drive, and luxury features that feel genuinely useful rather than just impressive on a spec sheet. Whether you're heading down I-75 for a weekend in the Bluegrass or running errands closer to home, this SUV makes the miles melt away.

Performance That Stays Smooth and Composed

Every Nautilus comes standard with a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Power flows through an 8-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive, so you get confident traction whether the road is dry, wet, or covered in winter slush. Acceleration feels quick without ever sounding strained.

Step up to the available hybrid powertrain, and that same 2.0L turbo pairs with a 100kW electric motor for 285 hp combined and 295 lb-ft of torque. Beyond the extra muscle, the hybrid earns an EPA-estimated 30 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, which adds up to noticeably fewer fuel stops. Best of all, it's a self-charging hybrid, so plugs and charging cables never enter the picture.

Technology That Works the Way You Do

The cabin is anchored by a 48-inch pillar-to-pillar panoramic display running the Lincoln Digital Experience. It's bright, customizable, and easier to use than its size suggests. Google Maps and Google Assistant are built in, so directions and voice commands feel natural instead of clunky.

Standard BlueCruise brings hands-free driving to more than 130,000 miles of prequalified Blue Zone highways in North America, complete with automatic lane changes when you signal. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a built-in 5G Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless phone charging round out a tech package that makes long drives feel shorter.

Safety and Comfort That Surround You

Lincoln Co-Pilot360 packs a deep suite of standard driver-assist features into every trim, including Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Information System, a 360-degree camera, and a driver attention monitor. The IIHS named the latest Nautilus a Top Safety Pick, which speaks to how well those systems work together on the road.

Inside, available Perfect Position front seats offer 24-way adjustment with massage functions, while available Lincoln Rejuvenate adds spa-like wellness moments to longer drives. A heated steering wheel, dual power front seats, and a power liftgate come standard, and step-up trims add a Revel premium audio system and a panoramic Vista Roof that opens the cabin to the sky.
