What's New for the 2027 Lincoln Nautilus
October 16 2026,
The 2027 Lincoln Nautilus brings a fresh face, new colours and more ways to make the cabin your own. Lincoln kept the things Nautilus owners already like about this midsize luxury SUV, including the 48-inch panoramic display and the roomy back seat, and then refined the details inside and out.
This guide walks through the key changes for 2027, from the wider grille to new interior themes and wellness features. You will also see how the Premiere and Reserve trims compare, so you can choose the Nautilus that fits the way you drive. The 2027 Nautilus is expected to reach showrooms in early 2027.

A Bolder Look Outside
The most visible change for 2027 is up front. The Nautilus gets a wider, more detailed grille, a redesigned hood and sculpted fenders that give it a confident stance on the road. New signature lighting ties the front and rear together, and slimmer taillamps put the Lincoln badge in the centre of the rear view.
Wheel choice grows as well. Buyers will be able to pick from five wheel designs, from 19 to 22 inches depending on trim. A new paint colour called Nocturnal Blue joins the palette across the lineup. It is a frosted blue with extra depth of colour that shifts as the light changes.
For a darker, sportier look, the updated Jet Appearance Package will be offered on Premiere and Reserve. It adds a black grille, black cladding and black roof-rack side rails, with body-colour accents and model-specific 20- or 22-inch wheels.

New Interior Themes for Premiere and Reserve
Inside, Lincoln focused on colour and materials. A lighter Afterglow theme will be offered on both Premiere and Reserve, giving the cabin a brighter, more open feel. Reserve buyers can also choose Hot Chocolate, a rich, warm option for drivers who like a darker cabin.
The Black Onyx theme also gets an update for 2027. It now pairs a full-black lower panel with a lighter upper cabin, so the space feels airy while keeping a sharp, tailored look. On Reserve, premium leather-trimmed seats with perforation come standard.
More Comfort and Ways to Unwind
Wellness features expand for 2027. The Renew Package will be available on Reserve and pairs Lincoln Rejuvenate with 24-way front seats that include memory and massage functions.
Lincoln Rejuvenate is designed for a short reset while parked. It brings together visuals on the panoramic display, audio, seat position and climate settings into one calming experience. Available Digital Scent adds curated fragrances to the cabin, so you can set the mood to match your day.
Rear passengers get plenty of room to stretch out. The Nautilus offers 1,095 mm (43.1 in) of second-row legroom, which Lincoln ranks among the roomiest in its class. That space makes a real difference on long highway trips with adults in the back.
Standard Tech and Hands-Free Highway Driving
The Lincoln Digital Experience remains the centrepiece of the cabin. The 48-inch panoramic display spans the dash and keeps navigation, entertainment, calls and vehicle information in your line of sight.
Every 2027 Nautilus will include four years of the Lincoln Connectivity Package. It brings built-in Google Maps, Google apps and voice assistance, plus four years of activated connectivity for navigation, apps and an unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot. Four years of the Lincoln Security Package are also included.
Four years of Lincoln BlueCruise come standard too. BlueCruise handles hands-free driving on the highway, and a tap of the turn signal lets it change lanes when the path is clear. Reserve adds a standard Revel audio system with 14 speakers for richer sound on every drive.
Two Powertrain Choices
The standard engine is a 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder that makes 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. It works with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive shifts in city traffic and on the highway.
Drivers who want to use less fuel can choose the available hybrid. It pairs a 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder hybrid engine with a 100 kW electric motor and a continuously variable transmission. Together they produce 285 hp of total system output, so you get strong passing power along with the efficiency of electric assist.
Premiere or Reserve: Which 2027 Nautilus Fits You?
Premiere is the smart pick for drivers who want the core Nautilus experience. You get the 48-inch panoramic display, four years of connectivity, four years of the Lincoln Security Package and four years of BlueCruise, with the option to add the Jet Appearance Package and the Afterglow theme.
Reserve builds on that with more comfort and more choice. It adds perforated leather-trimmed seats, a black-painted roof and 14-speaker Revel audio as standard. It also opens the door to the Renew Package, the illuminated Lincoln star, 22-inch wheels and the Hot Chocolate theme.
