For 2024, Lincoln’s big news is the all-new Nautilus midsize premium crossover SUV. All-new means fully redesigned in every significant way, including an evolved exterior design, a reimagined interior, new connectivity features, innovative advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and hands-free driving, and an optional new hybrid powertrain. For good reason, the brand calls it a “sanctuary for the senses.” Lincoln’s other three SUV offerings—the Aviator, Corsair, and Navigator—receive minor changes across the board. Here are the updates for each 2024 Lincoln model.
The 3-row Lincoln Aviator SUV is a smaller alternative to the brand’s flagship Navigator. Changes for 2024 are currently unconfirmed. However, expect the Aviator to benefit from refreshed exterior styling and an updated interior with edits to the infotainment screen, center stack, and switchgear. According to industry reports, the front end will feature redesigned headlights and a more prominent grille.
For the 2023 model year, the Corsair received an expected mid-cycle refresh inside, outside, and under the hood. Going into its fifth year of production, Lincoln’s smallest offering returns for 2024 as a carryover model with minor edits. Lincoln renamed the base trim Premiere. Also, Corsairs equipped with the BlueCruise hands-free driving feature come with a complementary 4-year subscription to that service. In previous model years, Lincoln included only two years.
The Nautilus is all-new for 2024. This midsize premium SUV arrives with an evolved exterior, a redesigned interior, innovative connected services, the latest in hands-free driving, and a newly optional hybrid powertrain. Lincoln eliminated the V6 engine, and all-wheel drive is now standard across the model range.
With the 2024 redesign, the exterior design of the Nautilus takes on a more modern appearance with a new grille, headlamps, taillamps, and signature lighting. At the same time, a reimagined premium interior maximizes space and enhances connectivity with an expansive horizontal instrument panel integrated into the immersive display, which Lincoln says is the largest in its class. According to the automaker, the cabin takes on the look and feel of a sanctuary thanks to new ambient lighting and crystal-inspired interior details.
On the road, the Nautilus brings an expanded list of standard ADAS. According to Lincoln, it is among the first models in its class with an available hands-free highway driving feature. Building on the first version of Ford’s BlueCruise system, the Nautilus launches with Lincoln BlueCruise 1.2, which, according to the automaker, makes hands-free driving more natural and seamless. With the new in-lane repositioning ability, the hands-free highway driving feature keeps the vehicle in its lane while subtly shifting position away from cars in adjacent lanes.
Regarding the powertrain, the Nautilus will offer a turbocharged 2.0-liter hybrid engine available on all trim levels. This new setup will utilize a continuously variable automatic transmission and a 100-kW electric motor to maximize efficiency and performance. Output is an estimated 310 horsepower.
Lincoln’s largest and most well-known nameplate returns for 2024 in carryover form with minor enhancements. All Navigators now have standard full-time 4-wheel-drive. The base model is now called the Premiere, and it offers BlueCruise. Additionally, BlueCruise subscriptions now run for four years instead of two. On the exterior paint color front, Flight Blue Metallic replaces Ocean Blue.
