The Lincoln Nautilus is no stranger to awards, and its latest recognition is a big one. Named the Grand Auto Winner in the 2024 Popular Science Best of What’s New Awards, the Nautilus shines for its innovation.

With advanced technology, luxurious design, and impressive functionality, the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is redefining midsize SUVs. Here's why it impressed Popular Science editors and continues to appeal to tech-savvy and luxury car fans.

A 48-Inch Masterpiece of Panoramic Innovation

The standout feature of the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus? Its 48-inch panoramic display. Spanning the entire dashboard, this immersive infotainment screen is far more than just a flashy addition—it redefines how drivers and passengers interact with technology in their vehicles.

Why does this matter? With functionality designed around the driver, the display is fully customizable through its companion 11.1-inch touchscreen control center. Essential driving information is prioritized while allowing quick access to elements such as weather updates, media controls, and even tire pressure. What’s more, when the vehicle is parked, the display transforms into a full-fledged entertainment hub capable of video streaming, gaming, and even hosting video conference calls.

Popular Science summed it up perfectly, calling the Nautilus “a mobile communication center with luxury seats.”

Seamless Connectivity for Complete Control

Lincoln’s comprehensive infotainment suite places the Nautilus in a class of its own. With a platform powered by Google, the system supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa, ensuring that all your favorite apps and services are just a tap—or voice command—away.

When in park, passengers can enjoy video content from apps like YouTube, PBS Kids, and Amazon Prime, or even access light gaming options like Asphalt Nitro 2. With Bluetooth compatibility for controllers and keyboards, the Nautilus brings entertainment on the go to a whole new level.

Looking ahead, Lincoln plans to roll out video conferencing capabilities, allowing professionals to work from anywhere—as long as the car is parked. The future of mobile productivity has arrived, and the Nautilus is leading the charge.

A Luxury Sanctuary

While the tech takes center stage, it’s impossible to overlook the luxury and thoughtful design of the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus. The reimagined interior delivers on Lincoln’s promise of creating a tranquil sanctuary on wheels, combining spaciousness, modern aesthetics, and user-friendly controls.

From high-resolution displays to premium materials and ergonomic seating, every detail has been carefully considered to enhance both comfort and convenience. The addition of tactile elements, like a sophisticated two-spoke steering wheel and console dials, creates the perfect balance between cutting-edge tech and intuitive physical controls.

Why Popular Science Took Notice

Popular Science’s annual Best of What’s New Awards celebrates innovation across ten categories, spotlighting advancements that push industries forward. Each year, thousands of products are reviewed, and only 50 winners are chosen.

For the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus, the editors highlighted its tech-forward approach, specifically its ability to combine luxury, connectivity, and functionality in groundbreaking ways. The panoramic display and advanced infotainment platform were seen as meaningful advancements within the automotive sector—positioning the Nautilus as a frontrunner in modern vehicle design.

A Growing List of Accolades

The Best of What’s New Award is far from the only recognition the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus has earned. Other achievements include being named to the WardsAuto 10 Best Interior & UX list, winning the 2024 Best Corporate/Brand Identity Campaign Marketing Award from AdAge, and landing the coveted 2025 MotorTrend SUV of the Year Award.

It’s a testament to Lincoln’s commitment to innovation and the progress they’ve made in designing vehicles that blend advanced technology with true luxury.

The Future of Driving

The 2024 Lincoln Nautilus is much more than an SUV—it’s a glimpse into the future of driving. With a deep focus on connectivity, user experience, and a sanctuary-like interior, it’s designed for those who demand both performance and innovation.

That's why we're excited to announce that Lincoln Automotive Financial Services has been ranked No. 1 in customer satisfaction among premium automotive financing providers in the 2024 U.S. Consumer Financing Satisfaction Study by J.D. Power. A Testament to Exceptional Service According to the study, Lincoln Automotive Financial Services excelled in four key dimensions of customer satisfaction. It wasn't just abor offering digital solutions; it was anchored in trust, tailored support, and personalized service—factors that truly resonate with today’s discerning customers. Participants rated their vehicle financing providers based on their level of trust, ease of doing business, quality of customer service, and digital experience solutions, in addition to how well the loan or lease met their needs. Lincoln's achievement is further spotlighted by the outstanding score of 722 out of 1,000, a rating that positions it above formidable competitors like Mercedes-Benz Financial Services and BMW Financial Services. A Quote from the Leaders Ford Credit CEO Cathy O’Callaghan expressed pride in their customer-centric approach, stating, “Our team is focused on providing our customers with the best financing experience in the business, and we’re thrilled that customers agree. Whether it’s financing a new vehicle or support during tough times such as natural disasters, every day is another opportunity for our team to provide our customers with the ease, clarity, and flexibility that makes financing with Ford Credit or Lincoln AFS the right choice.” Responding to Market Challenges The study didn’t just focus on success stories—it provided insights into the current financial landscape, highlighting the challenges consumers face with high vehicle loan interest rates and prices.
