The seats have a definite 70's vibe to it.
They are super comfortable. I chose the Redwood over Chalet. I just can't do the all white seats.

Vger has finally landed in my garage. I picked him up yesterday. I ordered the cargo & mat package. The cargo net was missing. The dealer is having one shipped to my home. I also have to take him in to get the front and rear dashcams installed. I can say the seating in this vehicle is SO comfortable and way better than my Corsair GT.
The last 3 pictures are some bling I added. The hitch cover was purchased from an authorized Lincoln retailer on Amazon. I also purchased the back seat hooks from Amazon. They are high quality with leather stitched over metal. I have a Belkin MagSafe vent mounted charger. I'm not certain this is going to be a long term solution as the vents are more recessed and the dash protrudes out from under them more. I know there is a wireless charger in the console but my phone gets very hot on it and I like having it more in view so I don't leave it in the car.

Vger is on it's last leg of the trip from Hangzhou China to Columbus, Ohio. Today, he boarded a convoy truck to go from Flat Rock, Michigan to Columbus, Ohio. Once my 2021 Corsair buy back is done and the dealer installed options are completed I should have him in my garage by this time next week!

Yeah, it seems Hyundai is going all-in on the boxy 80s look.
Exactly. The Santa Fe looked somewhat compelling in photos until I saw one in person. It looks like a Land Rover dry humped a shipping cargo container. That is one butt ugly vehicle.

My vehicle arrived in Portland on 7/5 and boarded a railcar on 7/9. I still can't pull up my window sticker via the Lincoln order tracking site. If I go to fordwindowsticker.com I can pull it up but it is missing 2 options: towing and all weather mats & cargo packages. When I look at the order tracking site it shows those options.
I'll have to contact my dealer to see what is happening. I have heard of other people ordering options that were missing on their vehicles when they arrived at their dealership.

Consider the source, Consumer Reports, which has always been biased toward Toyota and Honda. They have completely lost credibility now with their product reviews being linked to "where to buy it". They used to be a respected source of consumer information but no longer.

Just curious if you have a window sticker available yet?
It is my understanding that window stickers aren't available until the vehicle arrives in the US.

At long last, my 2024 Nautilus has shipped today. Today also just happens to be my birthday!
Based upon this timing, my dealer expects to have it in mid-August.

I would suggest contacting the Lincoln Concierge. This is unusual. Get both replacements documented. The Concierge can get technical support that can assist in diagnosing the condition that is leading to the replacements.
I've never replaced a catalytic converter on any vehicle I've owned, even ones that were 10 years old.
I'm assuming this is being done under warranty.
Lincoln Concierge can be reached at 800-521-4140.

Since my 2024 order has finally been built I have cancelled my order for the 2025.

I finally have official confirmation my vehicle was built. The VIN I had been checking that was provided by the Lincoln Concierge was incorrect. After speaking with my dealership this morning, I got the correct VIN. My vehicle has been built and released. Now, it just needs to be shipped to port and put on a RORO headed for Portland.

I spoke to my dealership today. Supposedly, my 2024 BL FHEV Nautilus was built today. I am hoping this means the vehicle I receive will have the hybrid engine and rear shock absorber issues resolved along with the updated software.

I have a 2024 BL FHEV Nautilus on order. It was assigned a VIN months ago but still hasn't been scheduled into production. I placed an order for a similar 2025 BL FHEV Nautilus a couple of weeks ago. According to my dealer representative, the 2025 is supposed to start production in mid-July.
-
The 2025 Nautilus is now up on the Lincoln website and build to price is available.
There were some price increases with the hybrid engine option being the biggest moving from $1,500 up to $2,000.

I cancelled my order for my 2024 Nautilus. It has been assigned a VIN but has been on hold for scheduling for over 6 weeks. By the time it is built and delivered the 2025 will be showing up on dealer lots and I would incur a model year depreciation.
I ordered a 2025 Black Label FHEV White Platinum with Redwood interior, tow package, cargo accessories and mat package. And now, the wait begins again!

Great, just about when my '24 actually arrives. Of course the '25's probably won't hit dealers until December.
I have a '24 on order. It has been assigned a VIN for almost 2 months but still isn't scheduled for production. I am going to my dealer today to cancel that order and put one in for the '25. By the time I receive the '24 the '25 will be quickly following and I would incur a model year depreciation almost immediately.

Do you think that’s due to Atkinson-cycle engine design in general, or possibly the Ford 2.5L 4-cylinder Atkinson specifically, and or in this application?An engine with only +/- 162 HP will have to work pretty hard to power a 4,400 vehicle, so it’s not entirely surprising that it may be a little loud and rough at times.
Anyway, my personal opinion for quite a while has been that Ford needs a larger-displacement higher-horsepower Atkinson engine for heavier vehicles. I would guess the 2.5L Atkinson does better in lighter vehicles where it doesn’t have to work as hard, and therefore engine speed can remain lower on average. That would help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness.
I think it is the Atkinson engine. The 2.5L Atkinson has been the standard engine Ford has used on all hybrids and the Corsair GT until the launch of the Aviator GT and now the 2024 Nautilus.

I would like to see a Tachometer because the vehicle is so smooth driving that you can not tell if it is Electric driving or gas. Even stopped you cannot tell, where as a tach would indicte engine operation.
My understanding is if you put the vehicle in the EXCITE drive mode there is some sort of tachometer showing in the display. My Corsair GT will show a tachometer along with a graphic showing how much power the ICE and electric motors are using as well as how much charge is being put back into the HV battery when decelerating or braking.

No remorse whatsoever because I have no dog in this fight. Why should I care either way?. I’m just intrigued by the different technologies and how much value they may add. This unique Nautilus hybrid system gives us a glimpse into something we haven’t seen before. Example:FWD Maverick’s EPA City rating is improved 83% by combination of Atkinson and e-CVT / hybrid.
Nautilus’ EPA City rating is improved 43% by adding e-CVT / hybrid but keeping turbo engine for added performance.
These vehicles are obviously completely different and for different uses, but now at least we have a rough idea of impact of added Hybrid performance on fuel economy. I’m not judging, or suggesting one is better than the other. That’s entirely up to buyers.
For what it’s worth, Toyota started advertising a new Crown Signia crossover with 243 HP hybrid power, estimated 36 MPG Combined. It looks similar in size to Nautilus (from pictures), which also suggests there is likely a significant fuel-economy penalty when using EB versus Atkinson, even when aided by e-CVT. Again, not judging, just comparing based on facts. It’s also interesting that the Toyota 243 HP hybrid powertrain is pretty close to 250 HP base Nautilus. I’d bet that’s plenty of power for “most” buyers.
From a marketing perspective, obviously Ford/Lincoln can’t offer a Maverick powertrain in a luxury Nautilus even if power was more than enough.
I currently drive a Corsair GT PHEV with the 2.5L Atkinson engine. While I find the torque and horsepower acceptable it does come at a cost of considerable engine noise invading the cabin. It is one of my biggest complaints about the powertrain. The engine noise has been documented in several press reviews as well.
I have a Nautilus FHEV on order and recently test drove one to make certain of my ordering decision. The 2.0L in the FHEV set up is considerably quieter than the Atkinson cycle engine. It feels like there is more torque and acceleration compared the Atkinson engine.
Based upon this short experience I doubt I will ever purchase another vehicle with an Atkinson cycle engine. I prefer the quiet luxury over the engine drone any day.

How did you get Ford to buy it back? What other quality issues did you have?
There has been a huge list of quality issues, with some being repetitive, that started within 3 months of ownership. Those issues, coupled with 10 recalls, pushed me over the edge. I contacted the Lincoln Concierge who had suggested a buy back previously and told her I wanted to proceed. I was immediately connected to a Lincoln buy back specialist and told the approval for the buy back could take up to 10 days. I had an approval within 12 hours. Then I was connected to a buy back program agent who I have been dealing with ever since. There is a LOT of documentation required for a buy back like this. I spent hours scanning documents and sending them via email. The offer is currently on hold until I receive my 2024 Nautilus I have on order.

I have a 2021 Corsair GT. I have received at least 4 recall notices for the engine fire issue. This is in addition to numerous other recalls. I love driving the vehicle but I am like you and fear being stranded on the side of a highway watching my vehicle burn.
My vehicle is currently approved for a buy back from Lincoln due to the numerous quality issues I have endured. I'm just waiting on my 2024 Nautilus to be built and delivered.
