2026 Nautilus

[swindler]

That is very misleading. My daughter bought a Nautilus Reserve 3 hybrid in April. The price for the identical vehicle in 2026 is $3,500 more.

I'm pretty sure the 2025 R3 and 2026 R3 are not identical vehicles. Every year they've changed up what is included in each trim package.

Did she add anything to the MRSP such as options? It's the MRSP price that they mentioned.

She added hybrid, and Reserve 3. The MSRP went from $68,160 to $71,730. The hybrid went up $500. The reserve 3 remained $4,555. So, somewhere there was a $3,070 price increase.

 

[lincolnandy]

The base price on her window sticker was $61,110. Your article shows the base price of $63,180. So, there is $2,000 of the price increase. The additional $1,000 is the elimination of the $1,000 smile discount. Adding all this up, you end up with a $3,500 price increase. If you factor in that she got employee pricing discount of $6,337, the current MSRP is $9,800 over what she paid. Obviously, the new MSRP will get some discount too, but I doubt anywhere near $6,000.

As I reported a few weeks ago, as soon as the Tariffs loomed, the price was increased $3500 on all new 2025 Nautilus. So, the Ford Authority is once again, wrong.

 

[angore]

They could announce a price increase but would not affect any already stickered cars. That is, it is not retroactive to unsold cars. It would affect those not arrived in US yet that have not had window stickers generated. This would mean it actually affects few cars.

I think it's less that Ford Authority is wrong and more that Ford/Lincoln raised the prices during the 2025 model year run. There are 2025 models with the exact same specs as mine on the same lot that I bought mine from that has a sticker/MSRP price $3500 more than mine.

So, technically Ford/Lincoln can say they didn't raise the prices year over year while at the same time raising their prices just before the model year closes out.

Deceptive? Yes. True? Also yes.

Whatever spin someone puts on it, it's great to see that the members here are aware that the price went up by nearly $3500.

It will be interesting to see what the Lincoln Canada site shows once they get the 2026 info on it.
Currently, it shows the following 2025 pricing of;
Premiere $63,145
Reserve $72,945

No. Car & Driver. There must be an Order Guide for the 2026 Nautilus. I hope someone will post it here.

Agreed so I can immediately order a Black Label Nautilus with jet black package. We are excited to see the upcoming order site

 

[Oldschool1959]

You and me both! It's one of the reasons I found it so funny that Lincoln made you pay EXTRA to get a black interior this go around (Jet package). TBH, I liked the Jet package on the outside but there was just NO way I was going to get a black interior!

I want the black label with jet package, but no black interior! I’m done with black interiors!

That is very misleading. My daughter bought a Nautilus Reserve 3 hybrid in April. The price for the identical vehicle in 2026 is $3,500 more. Her window sticker said the base price of the Reserve was $61,110, not the $63,180 your article says. Very misleading

I see the comparison is based on 2025 Naut Reserve (I) gas vs 2026 Naut Reserve (I) Gas.
The $63,180 they quote in F/Authority is correct as posted currently on Lincoln's Website for the 2 above MY vehicles.

I cannot say what the pricing differences are for comparable Reserve III Hybrid for MY 2025/2026. The F/Authority website does not address those option packages.

My wife has a 2024 Reserve 1. Perhaps I am mistaken but I thought Lincoln eliminated the Reserve 1 in 2025 and 2026? So you had to purchase a Reserve 2 with the sun roof, heated rear sets, and other options. So the higher price would have to be compared to a 2024 Reserve 2??

In Canada, for 2025, there are only the 2 choices that I mentioned in post #69. The Reserve is available with either package 202A (standard) or 203A.
In the U.S. for 2025, you have the Premiere, Reserve and Black Label. The Reserve is available with either the Reserve II (standard) or Reserve III packages.
The Reserve II does include the Panoramic Vista Roof and rear outboard heated seats. It appears that the only way to avoid the sunroof is to opt for the Premiere I.

[Linc 24]

For 25 in Canada there were 4 choices. Premiere PEP 101 and 102. Reserve 202 and 203.

That is what I mentioned above. But there are only 2 trims. Premiere and Reserve. Each available with 2 packages. No Reserve I or II as mentioned in a previous post.
I have the Reserve with the 203A package which at one time was referred to as Reserve II.

In the US they called Reserve 1 which was package 201, 2 was package 202 and 3 was package 203

Thanks for that clarification...as I stated in above post (72), F/Authority posted the $$$ numbers for the Reserve (1).
Actually, they just called out "Reserve"...I added the (1).

 

[RedHoncho]

The US website has the build and price feature now available on the 2026. There are fewer options. The Black Label drops the Redwood interior theme. The only interior theme showing is Chalet (white). I avoided Black Label vehicles in the past because that was the only theme they offered. There is no Aurora theme as reported in Ford Authority. Maybe that will be a late add but I doubt it.

I'd love to see the Dealer Order Guide. I have checked my other sources and it hasn't been posted anywhere.
