Lincoln Nautilus I 2.0 (250 Hp) AWD Automatic
Overall Rating
Lincoln Nautilus:
The Lincoln Nautilus is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV marketed over two generations by Ford Motor Company's Lincoln luxury brand. The Nautilus was initially renamed from the MKX as part of a mid-cycle update in 2018 for the 2019 model year, as Lincoln phased out its use of "MK" model names. The name 'Nautilus' is derived from the ancient Greek word nautes, meaning "sailor," as in nautical or astronaut.
The first generation is based on the CD4 platform, and was manufactured at Oakville Assembly in Oakville, Ontario, Canada alongside the Ford Edge, Ford Flex, and Lincoln MKT and manufactured in Hangzhou Assembly in Zhejiang, China by joint venture Changan Ford from 2021 to 2023. The second generation is solely produced by Changan Ford in China, as Ford is retooling the Oakville Assembly plant to produce electric vehicles....(Read more on Wikipedia)
I Overview:
Lincoln Nautilus (I). With 380 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~11.8 l/100km). With a weight of 1953 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. A sport utility vehicle offering higher ground clearance and versatile cargo space. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Lincoln Nautilus I (and its predecessor, the MKX) was not tested by Euro NCAP. It received strong safety ratings from US agencies like NHTSA and IIHS, indicating robust occupant protection.
2.0 (250 Hp) AWD Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 2.0L EcoBoost provides adequate power for daily driving and most situations. While not as exhilarating as the V6, it's smooth and refined, offering sufficient grunt for city and highway use.
Fuel Economy
Surprisingly, the combined fuel consumption is listed at 10.7 l/100 km, identical to the more powerful V6. This suggests that the smaller engine, especially with AWD, doesn't offer a significant fuel economy advantage in this specific configuration.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Exceptionally comfortable and quiet cabin experience
- • Smooth ride quality, ideal for long journeys
- • Potent 2.7L V6 engine option offers strong performance
- • Stylish and distinctive exterior design
- • Generous standard features and advanced technology
Cons:
- • Fuel economy, especially for the 2.0L AWD, isn't significantly better than the V6
- • Some interior materials don't quite match German luxury rivals
- • Infotainment system can be less intuitive than competitors
- • Limited off-road capability despite SUV styling
- • V6 engine offered only with FWD in the provided data, limiting traction options
