When it comes to luxury, two names stand out–Lincoln and Lexus. But which is better? That's what we’re here to find out. We’ll be looking at features that both the Lincoln Nautilus and the Lexus RX have to see which crossover SUV is worth the money, and which one you should leave on the lot.
Key Takeaways:
- The Nautilus comes with hands-free driving, as well as other driver-assist features that make driving easy.
- The Nautilus comes with a massive 48-inch screen, helping make it easier to visually see everything you need.
- If you want something comfortable, the Nautilus comes with some of the most legroom on the market, helping every seating position spread out.
Is the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus Comfortable?
When it comes to luxury vehicles, features are only half of what makes them luxury. You can pack the vehicle with all of the best tech, but if the ride isn’t comfortable, then it’s not worth it in the end. Lincoln kept that in mind and made a stylish and comfortable vehicle. The front row has a large amount of legroom, coming in at 43.5 inches, while the second row has similar legroom at 43.1 inches.
The same can’t be said about the Lexus RX. The front seat has less legroom at 41.1 inches, and while that isn’t too big of a change, the rear seats take a hit. For the second row, the legroom drops to 37.4 inches. If you want the most comfort for you and your family, the Lexus RX isn’t that.
The features that the Nautilus comes with are some of the best features on a vehicle. The vehicle comes with a massive 48.0-inch screen that spans the dashboard, coming with an additional 11.1-inch infotainment touchscreen. On the base trim, you will find a wireless charging pad, remote start, remote keyless entry, and even a 360-degree camera, to name a few features.
The Lexus RX can’t quite keep up in terms of features, especially on the base trim. The screen that you will find on the vehicle is 9.8 inches, which is smaller than both of the screens on the Nautilus. But other than that, the features are kind of sparse, outside of wireless phone connectivity. This makes the starting much worse than the Nautilus’.
What Driver Safety Features Are Seen in the Lincoln Nautilus?
Another big feature of what makes a vehicle a luxury one is the tech that it comes with for the driver. The Nautilus comes with adaptive cruise control, making it easy to follow the vehicle that is in front of you.
The Nautilus bursts with a luxe feature– Lincoln BlueCruise. This allows for Hands-free driving on set roads in North America. This makes driving across states and the country easy. Perfect for family road trips. The RX comes with similar features, such as a full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, but it doesn't offer anything close to BlueCruise.
While that isn’t the worst thing, it does make the RX seem less desirable, especially for longer road trips. Car and Driver notes that the RX suffers from “missing a wow factor that rivals do better”, and when looking at the “impressive list of tech features,” we think they were referring to the Nautilus.
