Lincoln unveils redesigned 2024 Nautilus SUV

With aviation-inspired design elements, new powertrains and a larger footprint, Lincoln's redesigned 2024 Navigator comes to showrooms early in 2024 to compete in the luxury midsize SUV segment crowded with conventionally powered, hybrid and EV models. With parent Ford promising to invest $30 billion on vehicle-electrification development by 2025, the new Nautilus offers a hybrid variant to be counted in that program.

Previously on Ford's aged CD midsize architecture, the 2024 Nautilus moves to “a modified version” of Ford's ubiquitous C2 unibody platform - the foundation for current models such as the Ford Escape, Maverick and Bronco Sport - according to vehicle engineering manager Dan Boxeth. Despite moving from a “midsize” platform to what is regarded as a compact-vehicle architecture, the 2024 Nautilus grows in every exterior dimension: it's 3.2 in. (81 mm) longer at 193.2 in. (4907 mm) overall and its 114.2-in. (2901-mm) wheelbase is 2-in. (51-mm) longer than the outgoing Nautilus. The 2024 Nautilus also is 1.1 in. (28 mm) wider and 2 in. taller.
