Luxury SUV Comfort That Fits Your Routine
The Lincoln Nautilus is built for drivers who want a luxury SUV that feels calm in traffic, composed on weekend drives over the Grapevine, and polished enough for any evening in downtown Bakersfield. At Jim Burke Lincoln, you can browse a curated selection of new Lincoln Nautilus SUVs for sale and match trims, colors, and features to the way you actually drive around Kern County.
Inside, the Nautilus leans into Lincoln’s “quiet flight” philosophy. The cabin is tuned to block out the rush of Highway 99 and I-5, with generous sound insulation, a relaxed seating position, and available premium audio that makes even a quick run between Rosedale and Seven Oaks feel special. Attention to detail is evident in the stitching, materials, and subtle ambient lighting that keep the interior feeling upscale for years, not just the first few months.
Panoramic Display and Lincoln Digital Experience
One of the signatures of the latest Nautilus is its wide, eye-level panoramic display paired with an 11.1-inch center touchscreen. Together, they form the hub of the Lincoln Digital Experience in the 2026 Nautilus, putting navigation, media, and key vehicle information in your line of sight so you can keep more of your attention on the road. Google built-in compatibility, available apps, and natural voice controls help you manage long stretches of I-5 or quick cross-town errands without digging through menus.
For Bakersfield summers, available Auto Air Refresh is a standout. Sensors monitor outside air quality and can automatically switch to recirculation mode when dust, smoke, or valley smog spikes, helping keep the cabin more pleasant in July heat or during a dust storm on Truxtun Avenue. To see how it works in real Central Valley conditions, you can dive into the Lincoln Auto Air Refresh for Bakersfield Summers guide.
Power, Hybrid Efficiency, and Standard All-Wheel Drive
Recent Nautilus model years pair a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with standard all-wheel drive, giving you confident acceleration when merging onto 99 or climbing toward Tejon Pass. For drivers who want extra efficiency without sacrificing comfort, an available hybrid powertrain adds electric assistance to the same 2.0-liter engine on all trims, helping you stretch fuel on long runs between Bakersfield and Los Angeles while still enjoying smooth, quiet power.
If you’re comparing gas and hybrid versions, the Lincoln hybrid and electrified vehicles overview is a helpful companion to your Nautilus research. Our team at Jim Burke Lincoln can also walk you through real-world range and ownership questions so you can choose the powertrain that best fits your commute and weekend plans.
Confidence on Highway 99 and Beyond
Every Nautilus is engineered around Lincoln Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technology, with available upgrades that add even more support in busy traffic. Features like blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control are ideal for the stop-and-go flow on Highway 99 or the steady cruise toward the coast. On properly equipped models, available hands-free technologies can help reduce fatigue on long stretches of I-5, while still keeping you in control.
If you want a deeper dive into how these features behave in local conditions, take a moment to read Taming Highway 99 Traffic With Lincoln Co-Pilot360. It’s a great look at how Lincoln’s assistance tech fits real Bakersfield commutes and those peak-hour bottlenecks near the Highways 58 and 99 interchange.
Practical Space and Light Towing Capability
The Nautilus balances a generous second row with a versatile cargo area, making it easy to manage Costco runs, sports gear, and overnight bags for quick trips up to the Sierra foothills. Fold the rear seats and you’ll have room for home-improvement supplies or luggage for the whole family, all while keeping the cabin finished in premium materials that stand up to daily use.
If you occasionally tow, the Nautilus can also handle small trailers or lightweight toys when properly equipped. Our Lincoln Nautilus towing capacity guide breaks down ratings by model year, engine, and equipment so you know exactly what to expect before you hook up a trailer or hitch-mounted accessory.
Built for Long-Term Ownership
Whether you’re shopping new or considering a late-model pre-owned Nautilus, staying on top of maintenance is simple. The SUV’s engines are designed around modern synthetic oil requirements, and our factory-trained technicians know the platform inside and out.

Lincoln Nautilus FAQs
What trim levels are available on the new Lincoln Nautilus?
For the latest generation of the Lincoln Nautilus, you’ll typically find three main trims in our inventory: Nautilus Premiere, Nautilus Reserve, and Nautilus Black Label. Each uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with standard all-wheel drive, and all three offer an available hybrid powertrain. Premiere focuses on core luxury and value, Reserve adds more comfort and technology, and Black Label brings curated themes and the most premium materials. For a deeper breakdown of model years and equipment, you can explore our Lincoln Nautilus trim levels guide and then browse our current Nautilus inventory to see which trims are in stock today.
Is the Lincoln Nautilus available as a hybrid?
Yes. On recent model years, an available hybrid powertrain pairs electric assistance with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and it’s offered across the main Nautilus trims. That means you can enjoy smoother power and improved efficiency without giving up the quiet, refined character that defines the SUV. To get a closer look at how the hybrid system is integrated—along with tech like the panoramic display and Lincoln Digital Experience—take a look at the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus overview. If you want a broader view of Lincoln’s electrified lineup, our hybrid and electric vehicle guide is another good resource.
How much can the Lincoln Nautilus tow?
Towing capacity depends on the model year and how the vehicle is equipped. Redesigned 2024–2026 Nautilus models are rated to tow up to 1,750 pounds when properly equipped with the appropriate dealer-installed trailer package, while earlier 2019–2023 SUVs can reach higher maximum ratings when configured with specific factory equipment. Because ratings and requirements vary by year, engine, and package, we recommend checking the detailed charts in our Lincoln Nautilus towing capacity guide and confirming the exact equipment on the VIN you’re considering.
What driver-assist features help with Bakersfield traffic and Highway 99?
Every modern Nautilus is built around Lincoln Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technology, and many of the models in our Bakersfield inventory include available upgrades that are especially helpful on Highway 99 and I-5. Features like blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, and intelligent adaptive cruise control can support you in stop-and-go traffic, while available hands-free driving capabilities on equipped models help ease fatigue on longer stretches between Bakersfield and Los Angeles. For an in-depth look at how these systems behave in real Central Valley conditions, check out the blog Taming Highway 99 Traffic With Lincoln Co-Pilot360.
How often should I change the oil on a Lincoln Nautilus?
Exact oil-change intervals depend on the model year, engine, driving conditions, and the recommendations in your owner’s manual, but most Nautilus drivers follow a schedule based on modern synthetic oil—often in the 7,500-mile range under normal use. Because many Nautilus engines share similar oil requirements across generations, our oil type and capacity guide is a great place to confirm the correct specification for your SUV. From there, the Jim Burke Lincoln service team can help you set up a maintenance plan that fits your mileage and Bakersfield driving habits.
How do I get started financing or leasing a Lincoln Nautilus?
