Soft, nicely detailed cabin
Quiet interior

All-new, but it's really an updated Lincoln MKX.Revised styling compared to MKX.Base engine is now a turbocharged four-cylinder.The 2019 Lincoln Nautilus is a five-passenger midsize luxury crossover that takes over for the MKX with a fresh exterior style.

Pros
Quiet interior with spacious rear seating
Comfortable ride
Strong acceleration from optional turbocharged V6

Cons
Thick roof pillars and small rear window impair visibility

It's still a Lincoln MKX (so it's still a Ford Edge), but the 2019 Lincoln Nautilus manages to improve in the most important ways, with more style and technology.

Pros
It has a real name
Lots of active safety equipment
Handsome updated exterior
All turbocharged lineup

Cons
Harsh plastic on center console
It's still a Ford Edge underneath
Lincoln brand cachet still not great
Matthew McConaughey will probably love it

By:

Pros
Smooth ride,
decent steering,
quiet and responsive engines.

Cons
More relaxed than engaging,
unspectacular interior.
