Lincoln Nautilus
The 2019 Nautilus is a refreshed version of the MKX SUV. Engine
choices are either a powerful 2.7-liter V6 turbo or a 2.0-liter four-
cylinder turbo. Both engines deliver plenty of power. An eight-speed
automatic transmission is standard. The MKX has a comfortable ride, a
quiet cabin, and agile handling. The cabin is swanky, and the infotain-
ment system is relatively easy to use. The only knock against this SUV
is its unintuitive, fussy push-button gear selector. The unimpressive
fuel economy of 18 mpg overall that we measured in the MKX should
improve slightly, thanks to the new transmission. Standard safety
features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency
braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, and rear cross
traffic warning.Overall Score 75

Lincoln MKZ
Based on the engaging Ford Fusion, the upscale Lincoln MKZ received
some recent updates, including new engines, a plusher ride, simplified
controls, and a more conveniently located trunk release. Base models
get a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder that provides lots of power. In our
tests, the hybrid got 34 mpg overall. For more punch, the available 3.0-
liter twin-turbo V6 puts out 400 hp when paired with all-wheel drive
and 350 hp on front-drive versions. The MKZ delivers a comfortable
ride. The cabin is quiet and luxurious, with comfortable seats, but it’s
a long reach to the push-button gear selector, and the rear seat is snug.
The MKZ’s standard suite of advanced safety features includes forward
collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning,
and lane keeping assist.Overall Score 70
