1. 2024 Lincoln Nautilus 2.0T AWD 8-Speed Automatic

• Base Price: $50,415
• MPG Combined: 24
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 2.0-liter inline-4
• Aspiration: Turbocharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 250 
• Torque: 280 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 7.3 sec
• Weight: 4,349 lbs
• Length: 193.2 in
• Towing Capacity: 1,750 lbs

The base Nautilus uses the same exact engine as the Ford Escape 2.0T, yet the Lincoln carries a whopping 800 more pounds on its frame. No wonder its acceleration is lacking compared to rival luxury SUVs, not to mention that Escape, which spanks it by 1.5 seconds in the sprint to 60 mph.

2. 2024 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid (2.0T AWD CVT)

• Base Price: $51,915
• MPG Combined: 30
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 2.0-liter inline-4
• Aspiration: Turbocharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 310 
• Torque: N/A
• 0-60: 6.6 sec
• Weight: 4,517 lbs
• Length: 193.2 in
• Towing Capacity: 1,750 lbs

The big question with the Nautilus Hybrid is, why would anyone choose the non-hybrid Nautilus? The Hybrid powertrain costs a mere $1,500 on the options sheet, and it greatly improves fuel economy (especially in the city) while providing significantly better acceleration.
