In a world filled with noise and distraction, Lincoln introduced the new Nautilus showcasing the brand’s signature design, elevated technology and a new interior that brings a sense of calm and sanctuary to the midsize luxury SUV segment.

Recently, I had the opportunity to drive the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus Black Label AWD.  It was American luxury at its finest!  With the signature design elements inspired by the horizon, the Nautilus offered me a serene, sanctuary-like interior, a smooth ride and handling, enhanced with effortless performance. The intuitive technologies brought new levels of simplicity to connectivity with the new SYNC® 4* system on a 13.2-inch screen. portfolio.

Ferris' goal was to rival the Eiffel Tower, which had originally been built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair held in Paris.

The sanctuary feeling came full circle with the plush, contoured 22-way power seats offer power adjustments to the head rests, thigh position, bolsters, three positions in the back and many more in the seats bottoms to mold you to your throne. In addition, there are 11 independent air cushions, with massagers on seven of them. Press the buttons on the side of the seat bottom, and the touchscreen displays the seat along with all adjustment settings.  Needless to say, it was my most comfortable ride, ever!
