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
