There’s a lot to like about the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus. Hot off a complete redesign for the 2024 model year, the luxury crossover offers a number of optional packages, exterior paint colors, and wheels. The Nautilus also offers a choice of two powertrain options, and below, Ford Authority outlines everything you need to know about the two powerhouses offered under the luxury crossover’s hood.
The turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost I4 engine serves as the base powertrain for the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus. It offers a refined driving experience while maintaining fuel economy – a key consideration for luxury crossover buyers. This engine is tuned to deliver 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, mated to the eight-speed automatic transmission, and is standard on all three trims, including Premiere, Reserve, and Black Label models. Fuel economy is rated at 21 mpg city and 29 mph highway for 24 mpg combined.
There’s also a hybrid powertrain offered as a $2,000 upgrade on all three 2025 Lincoln Nautilus trims. This system utilizes the turbocharged 2.0L I4 hybrid engine, mated to an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a 100kW electric motor. The pairing results in 310 total system horsepower while providing 30 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, or 30 mpg combined.
Regardless of engine, the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus is exclusively offered with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) drivetrain. It also features five selectable drive modes, including normal, conserve, excite, slippery, and deep conditions.
While the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus holds steady after its redesign for the 2023 model year, it does feature extended trial periods for Lincoln Premium Connectivity, which is a part of the Connected Services plan and adds select digital features to new Lincoln vehicles, fitting them with connected built-in navigation, BlueCruise, Alex Built-In, SiriusXM, and Wi-Fi hotspots, to name just a few.
Production of the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus began in August at the Changan Ford Hangzhou Assembly plant in China, as Ford Authority previously reported. Pricing for the base Nautilus Premiere starts at $51,790, up slightly from 2024.

Compared to the 2.7 Liter V-6, 2025 Chinese Nautilus engine options are a joke.
The V-6 engine is gone for all manufacturers.
Our 25 Hybrid Reserve III replicates the 30-mpg rating in around town driving and exceeds 33 mpg in highway driving.
👍🏻
That is the biggest problem ! it is a Chinese engine . Don’t need it ! I have a 2016 Ford Flex with a 3.5 liter engine , and it gets 23 miles per gallon in overdrive. It is built in the United States , and it will not have a Tariff on it. Also if Chinese get into a War with the the U.S. , we will still have parts !
The engine was built in the states, I suppose, but the car was built in Canada, part of our long standing auto pact. Great cars and a great display of what Canada and the US can do when they work together. Our boosted MKT was also a great car and I’m looking at replacing it with a 17 or 18 as I type.
The coast to coast screen n is super ugly and overdone. Plus the rear ended is such an ugly wedge. Could they make the brake.lights any smaller , so tiny. Plus made in China, hope they charge a large tariff on it and sale die off. Lincoln needs to build better quality cars with much better styling, better hybrid Mpg, and made IN USA.
Moving on to higher quality Asian SUVs for my next car , plus they offer better colors too
So, you are upset that the Lincoln is built in China (the largest of the Asian economies), so your protest is to buy a car from a different Asian manufacturer? Wouldnt i a better statement be to buy a domestic built in Canada or the US? Or at least a foreign owned product that is produced in Canada or the US?
There’s colors? All we see on the road these days are various versions of bland black, white, and gray.
