See The 2019 Lincoln Nautilus Configurator Valued At 14.3million Naira

Lincoln unveiled the 2019 Nautilus at the Los Angeles Auto Show last year and now the company has revealed the crossover will be priced from $40,340 in the United States.

Essentially a facelifted and renamed version of the MKX, the Nautilus costs $1,305 more than its predecessor. Despite the modest price increase, the Nautilus is an improvement as it features a more upscale design which shares styling cues with newer models such as the Continental and Navigator.

Besides the improved looks, the entry-level Nautilus features a new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces an estimated 245 hp (182 kW / 248 PS). The engine is less powerful than the previous 3.7-liter V6 but it comes with start/stop technology and a new eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard while all-wheel drive is available for an additional $2,495.

The Nautilus comes nicely equipped with a hands-free power tailgate and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Drivers will also find a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a dual-zone automatic climate control system and an 8-inch SYNC 3 infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Other niceties include active noise cancellation technology, 10-way power front seats, and a 10-speaker audio system with a subwoofer. There’s also a host of driver assistance systems including Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and a Blind Spot Information System.

The Nautilus Select starts at $44,545 and it has a more luxurious interior with leather seats, a heated leather steering wheel and a power tilt/telescoping steering column with a memory function. Other additions include a wireless smartphone charger, LED headlights, a universal garage door opener, and an upgraded security system.

The $48,875 Nautilus Reserve goes even further as it adds a panoramic glass roof and 20-inch aluminum wheels. Inside, there are heated/ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a 13-speaker Revel audio system.
