Nautilus

"Lincoln luxury" has a nice ring to it, and the Nautilus delivers plenty of it in mid-size SUV form. With distinguished looks and a premium interior stuffed with impressive tech, the Nautilus plays in the same sandbox as more expensive European rivals like the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class. While those other models are more interesting to drive than the Lincoln, corner-carving isn't the Nautilus's mission objective, and its quiet cabin and comfortable ride more than make up for its middling performance. While the combination of a 250-hp engine and all-wheel drive is sufficient, we prefer the Nautilus's hybrid variant (reviewed separately), which boosts output and better suits the SUV's smooth, laid-back character.
