- It's not every day that I get to show you a new Lincoln,
but today is one of those days.
This is the new 2024 Lincoln Nautilus.
Now, Nautilus is not a new nameplate for Lincoln,
but they are saying that this is an all new vehicle.
New platform, it's two inches longer, two inches wider,
little bit taller as well.
It's got new powertrains, it's got a radical new interior
that I think you're gonna find really interesting.
So what is so new about the new '24 Lincoln Nautilus?
Well, let me take you through it.
The styling of the new '24 Nautilus
is obviously considerably different
than the outgoing '23 model,
and that shows up most here in the front end.
Now, if you're familiar with Chinese market Lincolns,
this is not going to be new to you,
because this basically looks like
the Chinese market Lincoln Zephyr four-door sedan,
but over here, this is the first time that we're seeing it.
It's what Lincoln
is calling Quiet Flight 2.0 design language,
and it really does look good.
You've got that light up Lincoln star right in the middle
that then moves out into the LEDs along the headlights,
which creates a really cool welcoming animation.
Down the side of the vehicle,
you have a lot more sculpture than you did before,
they've got this scallop in the doors,
which really does look fantastic.
This vehicle has 22 inch wheels.
This is the Jet Package,
so you've got kind of a blacked out two-tone trim as well,
looks really good.
When it comes to powertrains,
you've got a choice of two for the new '24 Nautilus.
The base model uses a turbocharged two-liter, four-cylinder,
making 250 horsepower,
or you've got an optional hybrid version
that still uses that same two-liter turbo,
but also adds an electric motor
and a continuously variable transmission,
and it makes a system 310 horsepower.
All-wheel drive will be standard across the board
on all trim levels as well.
But the bigger changes to the Nautilus are actually inside
where you've got a new interior and a new display panel
that I think is gonna knock your socks off.
You remember when Lincoln first came out
with their digital gauge clusters
and they were all proud of it that it was reconfigurable
and looked all classy and whatnot,
but the rest of us were kind of like,
"Eh, it's a little bit boring, it's mostly black
with a couple of numerals in it, not all that exciting."
Well, look at Lincoln now, they have decided to go all out
with a digital gauge cluster,
and now you have 48 inches of coast to coast display.
Not exactly 48 inches, you have two 23.6 inch screens,
one over here, one over there,
which, no, doesn't quite total 48 inches, it's Ford math,
like how the five liter V8 really wasn't five liter.
Anyway, this looks fantastic.
It is bright, it is bold, it is easy to use.
In front of you directly, you have the speedometer,
tachometer, and the navigation system,
which is now a Google based system,
so it's running Google Maps.
On the right side panel,
you have three distinct panels that you can configure
in a number of different ways to show all kinds
of different information.
What it will not show you however
is streaming video while you're driving.
When you come to a stop, when you put it in park,
then the new Nautilus can act
as what they call a rejuvenation center.
It's got programs in it that will combine everything
from lights and sound and music and fragrances as well,
there are three different fragrances
that actually come with the vehicle
to create a kind of relaxation spa.
The seat will even massage you,
depending on what trim level you get as well.
So if you do use your car as an escape,
well, this isn't an Escape, it's a Nautilus,
but still it will act as a spa.
More about the display, it is all controlled
from this 11.1 inch touchscreen that will allow you
to adjust pretty much everything you see up here.
All you do is just push a couple buttons
and you're unable to reconfigure
and rearrange panels as you like them,
or if you want, beep, shut it off entirely,
so that all you have is the speedometer in front of you,
probably more useful for driving at night,
so you don't have all that kind of distraction,
but frankly, I would leave it on,
because you've got all kinds of really cool content
and you've got a number of different themes as well
that you can switch between
to get a different kind of atmosphere.
What is more interesting however is this,
the steering wheel is a squircle, as we call it.
It is rectangular, and you're looking at your speedometer
and all the information above the steering wheel.
What this does is it eliminates the need
for a heads up display,
so you're not seeing anything displayed above the hood,
but the hood and the dash
is actually a little bit higher than normal,
and you're looking at things pretty much just off the road.
Not bad, don't hate it,
I think it's definitely gonna be something
that a lot of people remark on
when they get into the new Nautilus.
The new '24 Lincoln Nautilus is bigger, it's bolder,
it's more comfortable, it's got a lot of great technology,
