2019 Lincoln Nautilus Explained
15Nautilus, Lincoln’s newest entry to the popular midsize luxury SUV market, debuts with a new turbocharged engine lineup and a standard suite of advanced technologies offering the driver assistance from the front, rear and sides. Nautilus joins the new MKC, the elegant Continental, new Navigator and stylish MKZ for a lineup of vehicles instantly recognizable as Lincoln.
The 2019 Nautilus introduces Lincoln Co-Pilot360™, which bundles many popular driver-assist features that were previously available only as separate options and makes them standard. It’s incorporated with an array of sophisticated technologies designed to inspire driver confidence.
Lincoln Co-Pilot360 uses cameras and radar to enhance a driver’s capabilities – easing stress and making each journey virtually effortless. Technologies like Blind Spot Information System, which uses radar to alert drivers of approaching vehicles entering their blind spot by flashing an indicator light, and cross-traffic alert, warning drivers of traffic behind when backing out of a parking spot or driveway, are included. Other technologies include pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, auto high beams, a lane-keeping system and a rearview camera.
Available evasive steer assist also debuts on Nautilus, providing drivers with steering support to help avoid collisions with a slow or stopped vehicle if a potential accident can’t be mitigated by braking alone. Lane centering technology, which detects lane markings on the road to help keep the vehicle centered, is also available. Lane centering helps keep drivers centered in their lane while adaptive cruise control with stop and go capability is enabled, which allows drivers to set a desired speed and distance between themselves and the vehicle ahead.
Nautilus drivers stay connected through a standard embedded 4G modem with Wi-Fi hotspot capability, while an available concealed wireless charging pad for compatible smartphones ends the hassle of tangled cords. The large center touch screen serves as a portal to standard SYNC® 3 with both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility, enabling clients to manage audio, phone and navigation, including WAZE. Steering wheel-mounted controls are also available for some of these functions.
“I commute for more than an hour every day and I want to feel relaxed and enjoy that time behind the wheel,” says Megan McKenzie, SUV marketing manager, The Lincoln Motor Company. “The technology that we offer in our vehicles allows drivers to feel more confident and takes the stress out of so many situations.”
