Look closely at the 2027 Lincoln Nautilus and the newest details reveal themselves elegantly. New Lincoln Black Label themes bring meticulous craftsmanship to the cabin, with subtle patterns and finishes that may appear almost imperceptible, until the lights come on, transforming the space with a sense of discovery.
It is a small but telling expression of Lincoln luxury: design that is not simply seen, but felt. Building on the momentum of Lincoln’s award-winning midsize premium utility vehicle, the 2027 Nautilus has a bold new face, more opportunities for personalization and intuitive technology designed to make every drive feel more effortless, personal and restorative.
That approach is resonating. Lincoln sold 10,370 Nautilus vehicles in the second quarter of 2026—its strongest second quarter ever for the nameplate—with nearly 65% of clients arriving from other premium utility brands.
For 2027, Lincoln continues to evolve the Nautilus experience around what today’s luxury clients value most: thoughtful craftsmanship, advanced technology, generous space and the freedom to tailor every moment behind the wheel.
A fresh look
The exterior gets a bold, wide, and more detailed grille, a redesigned hood and sculpted fenders that give Nautilus a confident stance. New signature lighting carries a more cohesive look front to back, and slimmer rear taillamps put Lincoln badging front and center.
Clients can choose from five wheel options, from 19 to 22 inches depending on trim. The Jet Appearance Package — available on Premiere, Reserve and Black Label — adds a glossy black treatment to the grille and exterior accents, paired with 20- or 22-inch wheels.
Two new exterior colors join the lineup: Nocturnal Blue across the board, a rich frosted blue with added chroma, and Frosted Fig, a Black Label-exclusive plum-purple that complements the new Eminent Hour theme.1
More expressions of craftsmanship
Inside, the focus is on making the cabin feel even more considered. A lighter Afterglow theme is now available on Premiere and Reserve; Reserve buyers can also choose Hot Chocolate. Black Onyx gets an update too, with a full-black lower panel against a lighter upper cabin.
For the ultimate in Lincoln luxury, Black Label goes further with two new themes. Eminent Hour pulls from a desert sunset — Tranquil Dusk Menorca seating, Eminent Fade perforation, warm stitching, Eminent Copper Ash open-pore wood and an Ebony headliner. Elysian Light takes its cues from sunrise over water: Soft Cloud leather, Still Water Blue accents, Pearlescent Ash wood and a Soft Cloud headliner.
Room to reset
Wellness features expand for 2027. The Renew Package, now available on Reserve 200A, pairs Lincoln Rejuvenate with 24-way Perfect Position seats up front, complete with memory and massage.
Lincoln Rejuvenate2 creates a calming multisensory experience by combining visuals, audio, seat position and climate control into one experience meant for a parked reset. Digital Scent adds curated fragrances to further personalize the Nautilus cabin.
Nautilus also holds its own on space — 43.1 inches of second-row legroom, among the best in its class, plus enough cargo room for a road trip.
More standard tech
The Lincoln Digital Experience anchored by the 48-inch panoramic display remains the centerpiece, keeping navigation, entertainment, communication and vehicle info within easy view. The Lincoln Connectivity Package3 with embedded Google Maps, Google apps and voice assistance come standard, along with four years of activated connectivity — navigation, apps and an unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot.
Every Nautilus includes four years of the Lincoln Security Package4 and four years of standard BlueCruise 1.5, which enhances hands-free highway driving with smooth, seamless automatic lane changes to help keep you moving at the speed of traffic.4
A confident drive
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. The available hybrid option — a 2.0-liter turbocharged high-output hybrid engine plus a 100-kW electric motor and continuously variable transmission with 285 combined horsepower.
The fact that hybrid models account for more than half of Nautilus sales tells us something important, Lincoln clients want performance and efficiency without compromise.
The 2027 Lincoln Nautilus is available to order now, with showroom arrivals expected in early 2027.
