Lincoln Nautilus 2nd Gen

2023 – 2024 — USA

Summary: The Lincoln Nautilus is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV produced by the Lincoln brand of Ford Motor Company. Initially named the MKX, it was rebranded as the Nautilus in 2018 as part of Lincoln's transition away from "MK" model names. The name 'Nautilus' is inspired by the ancient Greek word nautes, meaning "sailor." The vehicle's production is based on the CD4 platform, with the first generation manufactured in Canada and China alongside other Ford models. The second generation is produced exclusively in China as Ford shifts its focus to electrification, retooling its Oakville Assembly plant for electric vehicle manufacturing. Key Points: 1.
