Lincoln is refreshing the Nautilus for 2027 with new design themes, more personalization options and expanded wellness technology, following a strong stretch for the nameplate — Lincoln sold 10,370 Nautilus units in the second quarter of 2026, its best Q2 ever, with roughly 65% of buyers coming from other premium utility brands.
The update centers on subtle, craftsmanship-driven details inside the cabin that reveal themselves more fully once the interior lighting comes on, alongside a bolder exterior face and more standard technology.
A Bolder Face and New Colors
Outside, the Nautilus gets a wider, more detailed grille, a redesigned hood and more sculpted fenders for a more confident stance, along with updated signature lighting for a more cohesive front-to-back look and slimmer rear taillamps that put the Lincoln badge front and center.
Buyers can choose from five wheel options ranging from 19 to 22 inches depending on trim, and the Jet Appearance Package — available on Premiere, Reserve and Black Label trims — adds gloss-black grille and exterior accents paired with 20- or 22-inch wheels.
Two new exterior colors join the lineup: Nocturnal Blue, a frosted blue available across the range, and Frosted Fig, a Black Label-exclusive plum-purple that pairs with the new Eminent Hour interior theme.
New Interior Themes
Inside, a lighter Afterglow theme joins the Premiere and Reserve trims, with Reserve buyers also able to choose a new Hot Chocolate scheme, while the existing Black Onyx theme gets updated with a full-black lower panel set against a lighter upper cabin.
Black Label adds two entirely new themes: Eminent Hour, inspired by a desert sunset with Tranquil Dusk Menorca seating, Eminent Fade perforation, warm stitching, Eminent Copper Ash open-pore wood and an Ebony headliner; and Elysian Light, drawing on a sunrise-over-water palette with Soft Cloud leather, Still Water Blue accents, Pearlescent Ash wood and a matching Soft Cloud headliner.
More Room to Recharge
Wellness technology expands for 2027 through the new Renew Package on Reserve 200A trims, pairing Lincoln Rejuvenate with 24-way Perfect Position front seats that include memory and massage functions.
Rejuvenate combines visuals, audio, seat position and climate control into a single calming experience designed for use while parked, while a new Digital Scent feature adds curated fragrance options to further personalize the cabin.
The Nautilus continues to offer strong interior space, with 43.1 inches of second-row legroom — among the best in its class — plus enough cargo room for extended trips.
Standard Technology and Powertrain Options
The Lincoln Digital Experience, anchored by a 48-inch panoramic display, remains the tech centerpiece, keeping navigation, entertainment, communication and vehicle information easily accessible.
The Lincoln Connectivity Package, with embedded Google Maps, Google apps and voice assistance, comes standard along with four years of activated connectivity covering navigation, apps and an unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot, while every Nautilus also includes four years of the Lincoln Security Package and four years of standard BlueCruise 1.5 hands-free highway driving with automatic lane changes.
Under the hood, the standard engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft. of torque paired with an eight-speed automatic, while an available hybrid option combines a high-output 2.0-liter turbo engine with a 100-kW electric motor and a continuously variable transmission for up to 310 horsepower.
Lincoln notes that hybrid models now account for more than half of all Nautilus sales, a sign customers want performance without sacrificing efficiency. The 2027 Nautilus is available to order now, with showroom arrivals expected in early 2027.
