In the world of luxury, few manufacturers live and breathe comfort quite like Lincoln, Ford’s luxury brand that’s been a staple of luxury dealerships for decades now. One of the newer models in its lineup is the midsize Nautilus, which replaced the MKX in 2018, and since then has made a name for itself as an affordable, practical entry point to the Lincoln brand.
In 2025, the Nautilus will be entering the second year of its current generation, where it’s used its hybrid powertrain to entice buyers with an efficient, practical, but still very much luxurious SUV. Read on to learn all about the safety and comfort features that make the Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid one of the best luxury cars to own.
Key Takeaways
- Edmunds calls this year of Nautilus “The best product Lincoln has made in years” - and we’re inclined to agree.
- The Nautilus comes in 3 trims this year.
- Part of the second generation of the Nautilus.
How much is the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus hybrid?
That depends! The Lincoln Nautilus boasts 3 trim levels, with each trim having a wide range of optional features that’ll affect how much you pay for your Nautilus hybrid. Edmunds reports that for 2025, the starting price for the Lincoln Nautilus hybrid is an even $55,000, with the chart topping Black Label trim starting at $78,160. A full list of the trims reads as:
- Premiere - $55,000
- Reserve - $64,220
- Black Label - $78,160
Of these, the Premiere trim boasts a large variety of features for its price, and we think that it’s a deal worth pursuing. With features like Wifi, wireless charging, and heated seating, all features you’d expect to pay a premium for, it’s easy to see why we’re so fond of the Premiere.
Additionally, the Reserve trim is currently the most popular. No matter what Nautilus you buy, it’s a guarantee you’ll be met with a car that's a pleasure to own. Like Edmunds says, the Nautilus could very well be the “best product from Lincoln in years.” Their words, not ours.
Does the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus hybrid require premium gas?
Yes! When buying a luxury car like the Nautilus, keeping it topped up with the correct fuel is key for maintenance and ensuring both the performance and lifespan of its internal components. The 2021 Lincoln Nautilus Owner’s Manual explicitly states that “For best overall vehicle and engine performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended.”
How many miles per gallon does the Lincoln Nautilus hybrid get in 2025?
The Nautilus Hybrid is rated for 30 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, a significant boost of 9 MPG city and 2 MPG highway over its nonhybrid turbo cousins. Though the Hybrid upgrade is a $2,000 upcharge, you’ll be saving that in gas prices before you even noticed! Car and Driver tested the Nautilus on their real-world highway fuel economy route, and netted a 30 mpg average. As always, more information on the Nautilus's fuel economy is available on the EPA's website.
Summary
In conclusion, the Nautilus is best placed as an option for buyers looking to dip their feet into the Lincoln brand for the first time. It provides buyers with the essential Lincoln experience, with all encompassing luxury and technology features, in a package that’s practical, efficient, quiet, and, most importantly, affordable.
