2026 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve Specs & Performance
The Lincoln Nautilus Reserve offers two high-quality engine options. A turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine is standard, putting you in command of a robust 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Choose this powertrain, and you'll be supported by an eight-speed automatic transmission, while standard AWD helps you feel firmly planted on the road – even when you're facing inclement weather.
Drivers who are especially concerned with fuel economy will appreciate the vehicle's available turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder hybrid engine with 285 total system horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain is supported by a continuously variable transmission and, along with AWD, delivers an EPA-estimated 29/31/30 MPG (City/Highway/Combined) fuel economy rating.1
The strength of the Nautilus Reserve doesn't stop there. Regardless of your chosen powertrain, you'll have a maximum towing capacity of 1,750 pounds.2 With this car on your team, you can go ahead and hitch up a small trailer to bring along your essential outdoor gear on your next adventure.

Regardless of your choice, the outer shell is guaranteed a sporty appearance, thanks to the features mentioned above and the excellence of the Lincoln design team.
Lincoln Nautilus Reserve Dimensions
Next, let's take a look at the size of the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve. This midsize SUV stands at 193.2 inches long, 68.2 inches tall, and 85.4 inches wide, including the mirrors. These dimensions offer a few advantages. For example, the car's form factor is easier to handle than a full-size SUV, so no need to stress about navigating crowded parking lots or narrow downtown streets. However, since it's larger than a compact sport ute, you'll have plenty of room on the inside.
When you climb into the Nautilus Reserve, you and your copilot will be met with 43.5 inches of legroom up front, while guests in the second row will have almost just as much – 43.1 inches, to be exact. Even adults who settle into the rear won't have to feel cramped, especially considering you'll have 110.8 cubic feet of passenger volume.
Your regular grocery store runs will also be a breeze. There's 35.2 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row, or you can lower the rear seats and access up to 68.8 cubic feet of storage space to accommodate your belongings.
2026 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve Interior
Your comfort will never be in question as you travel in this luxury SUV. The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve boasts standard leather-trimmed first- and second-row seats, so you and all your passengers can remain wrapped in luxury. Thanks to the ventilation function, front-seat occupants of the car can stay cool on summer afternoons. Furthermore, when the evenings get chilly, the heated front and rear outboard seats will warm you and your guests right up.
The upscale amenities don't stop there. Standard active noise control makes for a quiet ride, while the panoramic roof lets natural light stream in to create an open and inviting feel in the already spacious interior. Personalize the atmosphere of your cabin with the Digital Scent feature, and don't forget to spring for the available Perfect Position front seats with 24-way power adjustability and Active Motion massage functionality for even more luxury.
Lincoln Nautilus Reserve Media & Tech
Drivers who like to keep up with the latest in automotive tech will love what the Nautilus Reserve brings to the table. Perhaps the first thing that catches your eye will be the Lincoln Digital Experience, consisting of a 48-inch panoramic display that spans nearly the full length of the dashboard, and a vibrant 11.1-inch center stack touchscreen. The former displays key info from Google services, while the latter serves as your point of control for multimedia functionality.
Whether you're an audiophile or just want to enjoy your favorite podcast, you'll love the standard Revel 14-speaker audio system. Simply pull up your favorite playlist from the touchscreen and enjoy pristine sound quality. Or, you can upgrade to the available Revel Ultima 3D audio system with 28 speakers and enjoy a concert-like listening experience.
To top things off, a wireless charging pad is also standard. Replenish your phone battery after a long day without the need for a cable, keeping the dashboard free of clutter.
