2027 Lincoln Nautilus Facelift Revealed With New Grille and Updated Interior

Lincoln’s beloved SUV just got a facelift, but the biggest change might be the one that divides buyers. The 2027 Nautilus gets a sharper look, more luxury touches, and updated tech, yet that new black grille could leave some people wondering what Lincoln was thinking.

The front end gets the most attention. Lincoln widens the grille and adds a thick black surround on models with the Jet Appearance Package.

A new hood and slimmer headlights complete the redesign, while buyers can choose between two bumper styles. Around the back, Lincoln removes the fake exhaust tips and replaces them with black horizontal accents that echo the front. New taillights and fresh 19- to 22-inch wheels round out the exterior, while Nocturnal Blue and Black Label-exclusive Frosted Fig join the paint options.

Inside, the 2027 Lincoln Nautilus keeps the basic layout but adds new themes and more ways to relax. The Renew Package now combines the Rejuvenate experience with 24-way Perfect Position seats and massage functions. The SUV also keeps its huge 48-inch panoramic display, Google Maps, and BlueCruise 1.5, with four years of connectivity and driver-assistance service included. Black Label buyers can choose new Eminent Hour or Elysian Light interiors with distinctive wood and leather combinations.

Under the hood, the Nautilus sticks with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder producing 250 hp and 280 lb-ft, while the hybrid version makes 285 hp. The 2027 Lincoln Nautilus model is already available to order and should reach showrooms early next year. There’s also an interesting twist to this very American-looking SUV: Lincoln will build the new Nautilus in China.
