The Lincoln Nautilus recalls the grandeur of Lincoln luxury in a way that taps deeply into the longtime Lincoln heritage. The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus updates that experience with advanced touchscreen infotainment and driver assistance technologies. There's a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that comes standard and an optional twin-turbo V6 that will put even more wind in your sails.

A comparison of engines in the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus and the Volvo XC60
The Lincoln Nautilus base engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and there's a turbocharged V6 available that ups the ante heat to 335 horsepower. The standard B5 powertrain in the Volvo XC60 is a 48-volt mild hybrid system that utilizes a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. But as Volvo tries to get cute, the result comes up short with only 247 horsepower.
When it comes to making a zero-to-60 run, the Lincoln Nautilus Reserve model with all-wheel drive can do the deed in just 6.8 seconds. Go with the available 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 with 335 horsepower and the time is even faster at 5.9 seconds. Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it?
