Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

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: 
thecarconnection.com

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

Cons
More relaxed than engaging,
unspectacular interior.

The 2018 Ford Explorer ranked #9 in Midsize SUVs. Currently the Ford Explorer has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 68 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Large cargo area behind third-row seat
Meaty twin-turbo V6 available
High predicted reliability rating

Cons
Seats aren't as comfy or roomy as some
Thirsty engines
Feels massive to drive

By: 
usnews.com

The Explorer receives only minor changes for 2018, with subtle styling tweaks at the front and rear, an integrated 4G LTE hotspot and revised feature availability.

PROS
Plenty of high-tech features that are easy to use
Optional turbocharged V6 engine delivers plentiful power
Cabin is quiet and comfortable on the highway
Cargo space is generous behind the third row

CONS
Legroom in the third row is subpar
Depending on trim level, feels big and ponderous from behind the wheel

By: 
edmunds.com

The 2018 Ford Explorer has pulled off a graceful transition from clumsy off-roader to genteel family wagon.

Pros
A utility player, in the classic sense
Very good handling
Better fuel economy ratings
Improved infotainment, now with 4G LTE
Lovely Sport tuning

Cons
The EPA’s optimistic with those turbo ratings
Platinum content, platinum prices
Second-row seat needs padding, less tilt
Third-row seat needs more of everything
