I've seen discussion says it's based on the same platform Ford territory uses...So def a unibody vehicle. Not really related to Bronco except for the same boxy shape and probably not really off-road capable I assume😂

the 'Power Flow indicator' would suit your demand much better. Chinese Nautilus has that, and I'm not sure why it's abscent in NA version. It's a simple app and doesn't need much effort to add into google system.

Lexus RX hybrid with the 2.5L Atkinson engine is almost as quite as the Nautillus in most time but is significantly noisier when acceleration. I guess it's just the nature of Atkinson engine😆

Chinese press review says the Zephyr hybrid's 0-60 time is under 6 sec. If imported to the US, I'm betting it will get another 20~30 hp boost and may reach ~5.5 sec 0-60 level which is kinda impressive for a 4 cylinder.

That's some incredibly low effort. Didn't even remove the cupholder for third row???

No public info on rated output yet. Peak output is 30 hp less than the NA version that's for sure.

My take is that Ford is catering to those who want 'cool' BEV features (large screen, pop up handles, driving assistance etc.) but not a BEV. These features indeed make the new Nautilus stand out from traditional ICE cars and attract many younger buyers here in China. Buyers in NA probably want a more 'Orthodox' American luxury, which may explain the choice of traditional door handles.

So I took the delivery of my silver radiance '24 Nautilus reserve hybrid in December last year and just hit 1500 miles on it. I was too lazy to write review but then I saw Gurgeh's great review in another post, I decide to offer my two cents? The '24 Nautilus is my second Ford vehicle, last one been a '06 Mondeo made by Ford China's Chongqing plant which was a mixed bag. The first thing I noticed is the great improvement in build quality. The Mondeo was mediocre at best while the Nautilus' body and interior panels are almost perfectly aligned. A few( ~15) out of the owners‘ group I was at that has 400+ members now claim that the sensors behind steering wheel are slightly inclined but other than that, I don't see much complaints. Kudos to Ford China for making huge progress in the last 20 years! Luckily my neighbor owns a '21 2.7 v6 Nautilus so I can switch and compare with mine. Both our cars have 21 inch wheels but mine has 255/50 tire while my neighbor's has 265/40 tire which is more sport oriented and frigile. I'm quite happy with this change as the new tires are less vunerable to potholes? Theoretically, thicker tires make the ride less bumpy but I feel the difference is negligible. Acceleration wise, my hybrid is just a tiny bit slower than the v6 when doing 0-60, like 7 sec. vs 6.5 sec. BUT when doing 0-40, the hybrid feels quickerdue to the electric motor. Also the hybrid is extremely smooth as the e-cvt doesn't have any gear. Steering is typical Ford - light and 'loose' during low speed which I personally don't like. Suspension is now made of steel instead of aluminum but still filrt the bumps and shocks pretty well. A perfect example of American land yacht. Interior space is HUUUUGE. Blows every single competitor in the same class out of water. I set my seat pass the B pillar and there's still plenty of leg room in the back for a 5'11 adult male. The trunk is massive as well and mine comes with a spare tire which is always a plus. The back seats are also adjustable and are long enough to hold my leg. I get over the lack of physical buttons pretty quick, but still think Ford should have keep the buttons for AC adjustment. The left side buttons on steering wheel are for the Blue Cruise and the right side ones are for music, volume and voice command. The belt screen allows my wife to watch movies while driving and the sound come through her headphone and don't interfere with music . It's a must have for me now? As for fuel consumption. CIty mpg is around 25~28 depending on the traffic and high way mpg is around 35. The highest mpg I achieved is 42 crusing at 40 mph.

oops, it seems that rear fog light isn't mandatory in the US?

no front fog light (same as most new cars), only one in the rear.

Just cofirmed with my salesman that the engine output is 207kw/281ps and the motor output is 140kw. 0-60 is aound 7 sec, which isn't significantly faster than the gas version. Ford didn't publish the total output numbers but if I remember correctly, the total output of powersplit hybrid system cannot simply measured by adding engine and morot together. Also I doubt that Ford is offering different drivetrains and the differences in numbers are probably due to different fuel standards, emmision regulations (Chinese version has GPF) and tunning.

Just ordered my '24 Nautilus Reserve hybrid in radiance silver w. black&grey interior last weekend, and am expected to recieve the car in early December. Note I'm in China so there will be some differences in features and exteior design but the overall handling and performance should be identical to the NA version. I highly recommend everyone to go for the hybrid, it just drives so much smoother.

And that tablet is still around?

It's not as bad as I previously thought but that rear light......??

This cavier grey color is also pretty attractive. Not a fan of red interior tho, but at least it still offers enough buttons
