After receiving a complete redesign for the 2024 model year, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus features a modest list of updates and changes by comparison. However, it does get notable alterations to the availability of its interior colorways, adding a few new options for the Premiere and Reserve trims.
The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Premiere and Reserve now offer the interior colorways known as Black Onyx and Medium Light Space Gray, while the Reserve trim gets Hot Chocolate. While the Black Onyx colorway has been available in the past, it was exclusively offered as part of the Jet Appearance Package on both the 2025 Nautilus Premiere and Reserve. Now, Black Onyx is the standard interior environment on both trims, meaning it does not add any extra cost to the luxury crossover.
Medium Light Space Gray, meanwhile, can be had as an optional interior colorway on both of the aforementioned 2026 Lincoln Nautilus trims as a no-cost upgrade. This particular color was not offered on the 2025 Nautilus, and replaces the Black Onyx / Medium Light Space Gray color combination available on that model.
Finally, Hot Chocolate is exclusive to the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve, where it can be added at no extra cost. This colorway was not available at all on the 2025 Nautilus.
The 2026 Nautilus Black Label, meanwhile, gains one new interior theme known as Aurora, replacing the outgoing Redwood theme. Beyond the changes to its interior colorway options, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus also gets minor alterations to its exterior color options, too. Two colors – Diamond Red Metallic Clearcoat and Lustrous Gray Metallic Clearcoat – are gone, replaced by Gray Matter Metallic Clearcoat, an all-new hue.
In the absence of major changes and updates, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus holds the line in terms of pricing compared to its 2025 model year counterpart. The entry level Premiere trim starts at $53,940, followed by the $63,180 Reserve and $77,130 Black Label trims, not accounting for destination freight charges. Those figures represent no change from the prior model year.
There might be a forthcoming Boss, but it won't be a 429.
Looks strikingly like the Geo Metro...
A very nice example of the obscure model.
