2020 Lincoln Nautilus Standard

The Nautilus is Lincoln's two-row mid-size SUV, the one you'd cross-shop with the Lexus RX and Cadillac XT5. It's a relaxed cruiser that glides over pavement, with a quiet cabin that makes long trips feel shorter. Inside, you get plenty of passenger and cargo space, plus a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and an 8-inch touchscreen. Lincoln's reputation for dependable luxury carries over here, so you can expect solid early-year reliability. The Standard trim keeps costs down for buyers who want a quiet, roomy SUV without paying for the Reserve's extra luxury features. Its 2.0L I4 makes 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, routed through a eight-speed automatic to the front wheels, and returns 23 mpg combined. The Standard still includes a hands-free liftgate and heated front seats, though you'll give up the Reserve's upgraded audio and ventilated seats.
