Visually, the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus will look nearly identical to the 2025 model, soldiering on largely unchanged from its 2025 model year counterpart. That includes all six of its unique wheel options aside from some minor tweaks to their pricing and availability, and Ford Authority today outlines all of them, including what it takes to get each one.
Standard on the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Premiere are the 19-inch Bright Machined Aluminum wheels with Carbonized Painted Pockets, which add no extra cost to the luxury crossover’s price. The 20-inch Bright Machined Aluminum wheels with Carbonized Painted Pockets are optional on the Nautilus Premiere as a standalone choice costing $1,000. They’re also bundled into the Jet Appearance Package, which costs $3,500 on this trim.
The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve gets the 21-inch Bright Machined Aluminum wheels with Dark Tarnished Painted Pockets, which are no cost on this trim. Buyers in search of an upgrade for this trim can opt for the 21-inch Bright Machined aluminum wheels with Ebony painted pockets for $750.
The 22-inch Satin Dark Luster Nickel wheels with Satin Chrome Inserts are offered as part of the $3,500 Jet Appearance Package on both Reserve and Black Label trims. And speaking of the range-topping 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label, this trim wears a set of 22-inch Bright Machined aluminum wheels with Ebony painted pockets as standard, representing the sixth and final wheel option for the luxury crossover.
As previously stated, the 2026 Nautilus was treated to a minor set of updates and changes, headlined by the deletion of the Redwood theme, which was previously optional on the Black Label trim. The gap in the options list is filled by the brand-new Aurora theme, though, which includes a cooler-toned color combination than the outgoing colorway.
Pricing for the luxury crossover stays right on track compared to the 2025 model year, too. Not accounting for destination freight charges, the entry level 2026 Nautilus Premiere starts at the $53,940 mark, while on the opposite end of the spectrum, the Black Label carries a $77,130 starting price.
Telling you which states it can't be sold in.
It's a well-used example decommissioned a few years ago.
While one of its chief rivals has grown considerably.
Dropping its offerings to just six colors.
Small and mighty versus over-the-top aggressive.
