Our scoring places the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus at 7.7/10 overall, which translates to a Recommended rating for this suv. Its strongest dimension is Technology at 8.5/10, while Performance at 7.1/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We score reliability at 7.2/10 — better than most direct rivals, if short of the segment's best. The safety score of 8.4/10 is solid mid-pack territory. If advanced driver aids matter to you, compare standard equipment carefully and verify ratings at nhtsa.gov.
Performance scores 7.1/10 — competent for everyday use. Acceleration and handling are adequate for commuting and highway driving, though enthusiasts will want to look at higher-rated alternatives. The cabin tech earns 8.5/10 — infotainment, smartphone integration, and driver-assistance are all close to the best this class offers.
Priced from $46,795–$58,852, 26 MPG, seating 5, the Lincoln Nautilus sits in the premium tier of the suv category. The 7.4/10 value score says the pricing is fair rather than generous; cross-shop the segment before signing anything. At 2 years old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Our take: The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is a solid, well-rounded suv that covers the essentials without obvious deal-breakers. For most buyers in this segment, it's a safe, dependable choice.
