Meh been in a 2021 Escape and the interior isn't all that much better.   The start button the Escape is absolutely in a terrible location.

They also don't have a Bronco Sport or Maverick to sell there also.

Additionally, Lincoln plans to offer existing Corsair customers private offers that would offer them thousands of dollars to move up to the Nautilus.
