The Lincoln Nautilus was treated to a rather comprehensive redesign for the 2024 model year, a move that also included a big shift in production from Canada to China. Just one model year later, we saw Nautilus pricing increase, something that isn’t exactly uncommon in today’s automotive world. However, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus will launch without any sort of price increase compared to the 2025 model year, bucking that particular trend.
| 2026 Lincoln Nautilus July 2025 | 2025 Lincoln Nautilus July 2025 | + / – 2026 Price | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premiere | $53,940 | $53,940 | $0 |
| Reserve | $63,180 | $63,180 | $0 |
| Black Label | $77,130 | $77,130 | $0 |
| Destination and Delivery | $1,595 | $1,595 | $0 |
The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus will hold the line in terms of pricing compared to the 2025 model year, with every trim level sporting the same MSRP as before. This comes after some price increases that were imposed last September, however, which in some cases were quite substantial. The biggest pertained to the Reserve trim, which received a significant $6,160 price increase at that time, but there was a legitimate reason behind that jump.
As Ford Authority previously reported, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus deleted the Reserve I (201A equipment group) for the 2025 model year in an effort to reduce complexity, and also, because there was a pricing overlap with the Premiere 102A and Reserve 201A equipment groups. As such, this means that the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus price increases weren’t nearly as bad as they initially seemed, as the base Premiere was $1,375 pricier than before, while the 102A and 202A equipment groups got a meager $385 bump, and the Black Label was $600 more expensive than the previous model year.
As for what changes we can expect from the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus, those will be minor in nature, which isn’t surprising given its recent redesign. The range-topping Black Label trim is getting an exclusive new interior theme called Aurora, though it comes at the expense of the Redwood interior theme, which has been discontinued for the Black Label trim in the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus.
Comments
The Nautilus Reserve II is the way to go for its price and available features. Also, the Reserve III is a better choice over the Black Label given the higher sticker price of the latter and limited difference in features from the Reserve III.
