Lincoln Nautilus Performance Overview
Lincoln’s Nautilus has been tracked across 13 verified tests spanning 2019 to 2025, defining its performance identity as a midsize two-row luxury crossover with a consistent sub-7-second baseline and a brief peak in twin-turbo V6 form. The first generation (2019–2023) was gasoline-only, moving from turbocharged four-cylinder and twin-turbocharged V6 offerings rated from 245 to 335 hp. Early testing established the pace with the 2019 Black Label 2.7T at 5.8 seconds to 60 mph, before the 2021 Black Label 2.7T set the model’s quickest benchmark at 5.7 seconds and a 14.3-second quarter-mile at 95.3 mph.
That first-generation run averaged 6.19 seconds to 60 mph across eight tests, keeping the model’s quicker examples concentrated in the 2.7T years. With the second generation arriving for 2024, the Nautilus shifted to a broader mix of gasoline and hybrid powertrains, with outputs ranging from 250 to 310 hp. In current form, the quickest tested version is the 2024 Hybrid Black Label at 6.6 seconds to 60 mph, while the 2024 Black Label posts 7.5 seconds at the slower end of the range. Today, the Nautilus sits as a hybrid-inclusive performance package with an overall average of 6.51 seconds to 60 mph and a 14.92-second quarter-mile average.
