How much does the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus cost?

Prices have softened 13.89% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,719 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus earns a 4.6/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Cost effectiveness, Technology, and Safety.

Drivers consistently praise its stylish design, smooth ride, quiet cabin, and advanced technology. The comfort and value for the features included also come through as recurring strengths in owner feedback. On the downside, the base engine and some interior details draw criticism, and the pricing can feel high for some shoppers.

That lines up with the broader use case: you’re looking at a midsize luxury crossover that leans hard into comfort, upscale presentation, and easy daily driving rather than sharp handling or maximum space. The market also shows 36.0% good or great deals, which points to a reasonably shopper-friendly buying environment.

Is the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience centered on comfort, quietness, and a premium feel. The expert evaluation also emphasizes that the Nautilus is aging gracefully thanks to a continuous program of improvement, which supports confidence in how it has held up over time.

The main used-buyer risk is that higher-mileage examples may show the wear that comes with a luxury crossover whose most appealing versions are also the priciest.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Lincoln Nautilus?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-trim example with more equipment. Focus on cabin condition, seat wear, and how well the technology and driver-assistance features operate, since those are central to the Nautilus experience. If you want the most comfort and features, make sure the specific vehicle actually has the equipment you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Black Label stands out with 21-inch machined-finish wheels, Lincoln Embrace lighting, Chalet or Flight interior themes, simulated suede headliner, luxury floor mats, and nearly everything available on the Nautilus. The center console design and some chrome-plated plastic pieces can look a little cheap, so inspect the cabin closely if presentation matters to you.
• Powertrain: The standard setup uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, paired with front-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission; all-wheel drive is optional. The Black Label uses a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 with 335 hp and 380 lb-ft, and it requires AWD.
• Safety package: Every Nautilus has Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0 with forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. Black Label adds Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0 Plus with adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assistance, evasive steering assist, a surround-view camera system, parking sensors, and semi-autonomous parking assist.
• Infotainment: You get a 13.2-inch touchscreen with Sync 4, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, over-the-air updates, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Lincoln Connect, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and SiriusXM 360L. Higher-spec examples may also include connected navigation, wireless charging, and the 19-speaker Revel audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The twin-turbo V6 is rated at 21 mpg in combined driving and 25 mpg on the highway, with a maximum highway range of 450 miles.

Which 2022 Lincoln Nautilus trim should I buy?

The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is offered in 3 trim levels: Nautilus, Nautilus Reserve, and Nautilus Black Label.

Here's the short version:

• Nautilus: This is the entry point, but it still gives you the core luxury crossover formula with the standard turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, FWD, and the full Lincoln cabin experience. It makes the most sense if you want the lowest starting point and don’t need the V6 or the extra luxury content.
• Nautilus Reserve: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the more upscale middle ground without jumping all the way to Black Label pricing. It can also be paired with the twin-turbo V6, which is the engine choice that best matches the Nautilus’ premium character.
• Nautilus Black Label: This is the fully loaded choice, with the twin-turbo V6, AWD, the most distinctive interior themes, and the most complete equipment list. Buy this if you want the plushest version and are willing to pay for it.

The Black Label also gets the expanded safety package with Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0 Plus, so it’s the trim to target if you want the most driver-assistance content.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Lincoln Nautilus?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,719 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.89% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $29,751, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus's resale value?

The current average of $29,754 sits slightly below last year's $34,554.

That decline suggests the Nautilus has become more accessible for used buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to price competitively to stand out. The current market trend points to softer near-term resale conditions than a year ago, especially if your vehicle is a higher-trim example with more expensive equipment. Well-kept examples with desirable features should still attract attention, but the broader pricing environment favors buyers more than sellers right now.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus safe?

The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with a four-star rating for rollover resistance.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Every Nautilus comes with Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0, which includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. Black Label models add Lincoln Co-Pilot360 1.0 Plus, which brings adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assistance, evasive steering assist, a surround-view camera system, parking sensors, and semi-autonomous parking assist.

The main caveat is that IIHS has not assessed the Nautilus for safety, so you’ll want to lean on the NHTSA result and the available driver-assistance tech when evaluating it.

Should I buy a 2022 Lincoln Nautilus or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.89% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 brings a more modern cabin with Sync 4, over-the-air updates, and a strong comfort-first luxury feel.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $25,380, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $29,754 average.
• It emphasizes elegant styling and a plush, quiet ride.

The bottom line: If you want the better-equipped, more modern-feeling Nautilus and can take advantage of the softer 2022 pricing, this is the stronger all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is the value play, especially if you’re mainly after the Nautilus’ comfort-first personality.
