Visually, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus will look nearly identical to the 2025 model. But inside the range-topping Black Label trim, there’s an exclusive new interior theme joining the options list for the first time.
According to sources familiar with the matter, that new interior theme is called Aurora, and it’s only offered on the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label. The colorway can be paired with every exterior color offered on the luxury crossover, and includes the following content:
At the time of this writing, there are no photos of the new Aurora theme. Additionally, it’s worth noting that the new interior colorway replaces the outgoing Redwood theme, which is no longer offered on the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus. The Chalet theme, which was also available for the 2025 model year, continues to be an option on the luxury crossover.
Other changes on their way to the 2026 Nautilus line include minor alterations to its exterior color lineup, new interior colorways for Premiere and Reserve trims, and changes to the Lincoln Connectivity Package. Second-gen Nautilus owners are thus far impressed with its wealth of tech options and packages while critics commend it for its attractive styling both inside and out.
Other than the aforementioned changes, the 2026 Nautilus holds steady without any groundbreaking updates. That’s not surprising, considering the second-gen model only debuted a few years ago.
While pricing for the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus is not yet available, it’s worth noting that Ford has no plans to move production of the luxury crossover stateside to avoid tariffs implemented by the Trump administration. The Nautilus, which is built in China, will continue to be imported to the U.S. despite said tariffs.
