This is the new refreshed and rebranded 2019 Lincoln Nautilus SUV

2019 Lincoln Nautilus SUV – What’s new?

Even though the name of this SUV is new, anyone familiar with the Lincoln vehicle lineup would immediately get the feeling that this new 2019 Lincoln Nautilus SUV is more of a restyled, rebranded and updated model of the 2nd-generation Lincoln MKX that has been launched since the year 2016. For a brand to refresh and rename its bestselling car is a very risky trick to pull in the automobile market but Lincoln seems not to mind with this one.

Lincoln has been rolling out newer grille design since it debuted the Continental in the year 2017 and as well replaced the “not so loved” winged look which was primarily meant to remind most luxury buyers of “elegance” feel that the 1939 Lincoln Continental possessed – unfortunately, it did not.

Now fitting this new grill onto the 2019 Nautilus sort of completes that initial rollout target and this 5-passenger SUV is definitely handsome compared to the past. The mesh of these new 2019 Nautilus is more like a complete repetition of the brand’s Star logo but it surely works. The hood, headlamps and front fascia are all new and the hood has really grown an attractive and sizeable centre peak altogether.

2019 Lincoln Nautilus SUV – What’s under the hood?

Diving under the hood of this new 2019 Lincoln Nautilus one will find a new 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that is a direct injection type. It is the same engine being used in the much smaller Lincoln MKC and also the Ford Edge that shares the same chassis with the Nautilus as well although Lincoln does not adopt the alias “EcoBoost” for this Nautilus and all of its other powertrains.

The featured 2.0L engine replaces the previous 3.7L naturally aspirated V6 engine as the now standard engine and it is rated as delivering 250hp at 5,500 rpm and 280 pound-foot of torque when at 3,000 rpm on a 93-octane fuel type. These numbers are clearly a decrease from the previous V6 engine which was rated 303 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and a 278 pound-foot of torque when at 4,000 rpm.

Lincoln, however, had the old-fashioned 6-speed auto transmission replaced now with an 8-Speed version making the overall vehicle performance very much comparable and the new SUV’s city fuel economy numbers really went up impressively.

The two engine options of this new Nautilus SUV arse pretty much offered by the brand in all of the SUV’s trim levels with optional all-wheel-drive and standard front-wheel-drive system.
