2025 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label SUV review

The seeds for the current success of the Lincoln brand were planted back in late 2006.  The vehicle was originally known as the MKX, a mid-size luxury crossover SUV that rode on  the automaker’s CD4 platform.  The Ford Edge and Flex, along with the short-lived Lincoln MKT were mechanical siblings. 

 By 2019, Lincoln had phased out its use of “MK” model names, choosing “Nautilus” in place of the MKX for the luxury crossover’s mid-cycle refresh of the vehicle’s second generation.   The second-generation Nautilus for the US market was introduced in April 2023 as a 2024 model.  The all-new 2024 Nautilus arrived with evolved design, an available hybrid powertrain, and new connected features.   This includes the all-new Lincoln Digital Experience and Lincoln BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology.
