The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus has taken the automotive world by storm with its innovative interior design, leaving a lasting impression on the MotorTrend staff. Its exceptional infotainment system earned it the prestigious 2025 MotorTrend Best Tech award, alongside the title of SUV of the Year.

A New Standard in Screen Design

Large screens in vehicles are common, but often their effectiveness falls short due to poor design. The Nautilus challenges this stereotype:

- 48-inch Display: A stunning wraparound screen showcases vibrant, crisp graphics, positioned low enough to minimize distractions while ensuring visibility.
- User-Centric Design: Functions are tailored for the driver, allowing for easy customization of trip details, weather, and more—all designed to be responsive and intuitive.

Unique Features Enhancing the Experience

- Rejuvenate Function: Calming visuals contribute to a spa-like ambiance for front passengers, enhancing their driving experience.
- Calm Mode: This evening feature dims the screen brightness, creating a soothing cabin atmosphere.
- Intuitive Controls: Easy drag-and-drop customization and a bespoke crystal volume knob simplify usage and enhance user satisfaction.

Layout and Functionality

Lincoln has thoughtfully designed the center touchscreen to manage everything from Spotify to climate controls, allowing users to prioritize their favorite functions.

- Minimal Buttons: The cabin relies on fewer physical buttons, yet the layout remains user-friendly.
- Viewing Angle: There’s a minor ergonomic concern regarding the lower screen’s angle, but it remains easily accessible for most users.

Expanding the Lincoln Digital Experience

This modern infotainment system isn’t limited to the Nautilus; it will also be found in the new Navigator. While the Aviator doesn’t feature the 48-inch screen, it retains many of the digital functionalities.

Pricing and Future Accessibility

With Nautilus prices ranging from $53,000 to over $78,000, this technology represents a significant investment. However, there is optimism that Lincoln’s innovations may eventually extend to Ford’s lineup, enhancing accessibility for a wider audience.

Summary

The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus sets a new benchmark for automotive infotainment with its impressive screens, intuitive design, and unique calming features. Recognized by MotorTrend as a leader in tech innovation, it effortlessly blends luxury with user-centric functionality, making it a standout choice in the automotive market.
