The Convenience and Comfort of Space
The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus® SUV delivers a sense of connection with technology designed to help elevate your drive and the space to help make journeys both big and small quite comfortable. With the most rear leg room of the vehicles compared on this page, second-row passengers take a front seat when it comes to their comfort. With an impressive 71.3 cubic feet of cargo space¹ behind the front seats, cargo capability also takes precedence. With Lincoln BlueCruise² hands-free Blue Zones highway driving and an available 28-speaker audio system, the Lincoln Nautilus begins to add up.
