Lincoln Nautilus vs. Lincoln Aviator: Compare Lincoln Midsize Luxury SUVs in Flemington

With their first-class accommodations, premium amenities, satisfying performance, and executive style, Lincoln SUVs are the ultimate expression of American automotive luxury. With four nameplates representing the most popular segments, Lincoln offers vehicles to suit a variety of needs and lifestyles-from the city-friendly Lincoln Corsair to the full-size Lincoln Navigator. For Princeton-area drivers seeking something in between, Lincoln offers two luxe midsize models, the two-row Lincoln Nautilus and three-row Lincoln Aviator. To help you determine which midsize Lincoln best suits your daily drives, here's an overview of their primary differentiating attributes.

Dimensions

Lincoln Nautilus

  • L x W x H (inches): 190 x 78.7 x 66.2
  • Seating: 5
  • Headroom front/rear (inches): 39.9 / 39.2
  • Legroom front/rear (inches): 42.8 / 39.6
  • Cargo capacity behind rear seats (cubic feet): 37.2

The Lincoln Nautilus is a two-row luxury crossover with a classy and comfortable cabin, roomy five-passenger accommodations, and a flexible cargo area with 37.2 cubic feet for your luggage, gear, or groceries. When you need carrying capacity for a Hillsborough errand or adventure, you can fold the rear seats to access 68.8 cubic feet.

Lincoln Aviator

  • L x W x H (inches): 199.3 x 82.3 x 69.6
  • Seating: 6 - 7
  • Headroom 1st/2nd/3rd row (inches): 41.5 / 39.7 / 36.9
  • Legroom 1st/2nd/3rd row (inches): 43 / 40.1 / 29.2
  • Cargo capacity behind rear seats (cubic feet): 18.3

Do you need more cargo space or additional seatbelts for your larger family? This three-row Lincoln Aviator offers a calm and capacious cabin with seating for up to seven passengers. If you don't need the final seatbelt, you can select second-row captain's chairs for easier third-row access and a more open cabin. The Lincoln Aviator is nearly 10 inches longer and 4 inches wider than the Lincoln Nautilus. So, even if you don't need the third row, you might benefit from the Aviator's roomier passenger and cargo accommodations. Folding the third row expands capacity to 41.8 cubic feet. And when you need to maximize storage, you can fold all rear seats for 77.7 cubic feet.

Performance

Lincoln Nautilus

The Lincoln Nautilus is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (250 horsepower, 280 pound-feet of torque) that turns the front wheels via a smooth and precise eight-speed automatic transmission. Or you can option all-wheel drive for more enhanced all-season handling and control.

Are you looking to power your Bridgewater commute with something more potent? A 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6-standard for Black Label and optional for Reserve models-increases output to 336 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque.

Lincoln Aviator

Despite its larger dimensions, the Lincoln Aviator moves with authority, getting up to speed quickly for confident highway merging and passing maneuvers. Standard power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 that sends 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission with paddle activation.

For effortless performance that complements first-class luxury, Ciocca Lincoln of Flemington invites you to consider the Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring. This plug-in hybrid variant combines gas and electric systems to generate an all-wheel-driving 494 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque. It also adds a "Pure EV" mode for quiet and smooth propulsion.

Features

Lincoln Nautilus

The Lincoln Nautilus offers abundant standard features, ensuring Princeton families can enjoy a well-equipped experience regardless of configuration. The base trim level includes comfort and convenience-enhancing amenities like power-adjustable front seats with heating, driver-position memory settings, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power liftgate, and Lincoln Soft Touch premium leatherette upholstery. Additionally, every model is equipped with a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument panel, a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Lincoln Co-Pilot360™ 1.0 driver-assist technologies like:

  • Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Detection
  • Lane-Keeping Alert, Lane-Keeping Aid, and Driver Alert System
  • Blind Spot Information System
  • Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Rear Parking Sensors

Lincoln Aviator

The Lincoln Aviator's standard features list is similar to its smaller sibling but with a few appealing upgrades. Examples include three-zone automatic climate control, rain-sensing wipers, and a household-style power outlet. A power-folding third row makes expanding the cargo area easy, and standard roof rails provide extra practicality. The Lincoln Aviator also includes an upgraded Lincoln Co-Pilot360™ 1.5 package with front, rear, and side parking sensors. For 2023, the Lincoln Aviator uses a 10.1-inch touchscreen with SYNC 3 and wired smartphone integration. However, a larger SYNC 4 system is expected for the 2024 refresh.

Depending on the trim or package, the Lincoln Aviator offers several available amenities that aren't in the Lincoln Nautilus lineup yet. Examples include:

  • Soft-close doors
  • Head-up display
  • Phone As a Key
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • 28-speaker Revel® Ultima 3D Audio System
  • Ventilated second-row outboard seats
