2020 Lincoln Nautilus
The 2020 Lincoln Nautilus is a sharp-looking crossover that once wore the MKX moniker. The 2020 Nautilus is a comfortable, cosseting mid-size crossover with plenty of room for five passengers. For 2020, the Nautilus sees just a few minor changes. The most affordable Select trim has been ditched, and there's expanded availability of Lincoln's suite of active-safety features.
Most Nautilus models will be powered by a 2.0-liter turbo-4 making 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. An 8-speed automatic directs power to the front-wheels, though all-wheel drive is optional.
For those seeking more power, a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 is available. That engine makes a stout 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is required with this engine. The 8-speed automatic again handles shifting duties.
Sticking with the base turbo-4 returns EPA-estimated gas mileage of 21 mpg city, 26 highway, 23 combined with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive drops that to 20/25/22 mpg. With standard all-wheel drive, the twin-turbo V-6 returns figures of 19/26/21 mpg.
Active-safety features remain largely optional on the Nautilus. Base models get automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitors, and active lane control, but anything else requires purchasing a package which adds adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera system, evasive-steering assist, and active parking assist.
The NHTSA gave the Nautilus top marks for overall, frontal, and side-impact crash tests. The IIHS awarded the Lincoln its highest rating of 'good'? for all crash test scenarios.
