LINCOLN NAUTILUS CURB WEIGHT | All Model Years
At Jim Burke Lincoln, we don't just skim spec sheets-we live with these vehicles every day. Curb weight matters for the way a Nautilus accelerates, brakes, rides, and even how much it can tow. Below you'll find verified curb-weight figures for every Lincoln Nautilus model year sold in North America, starting with the newest models first. When multiple years share identical specs, we've grouped them together so you can scan quickly and confidently. (All figures are base curb weights-vehicle with standard equipment and a full tank of fuel.)
2025-2024 Lincoln Nautilus (second generation)
The fully redesigned Nautilus arrived with a 2.0-liter turbo gas engine and an available 2.0-liter hybrid. Base curb weights are the same for 2025 and 2024: 4,349 lb (2.0 gas) and 4,517 lb (2.0 hybrid). Those figures are straight from Lincoln's official specifications. In practice, that puts most real-world builds in the mid-4,300s to mid-4,500s before options.
2023 Lincoln Nautilus
The final model year of the prior generation spans a range depending on powertrain: about 4,165 lb (2.0 FWD), ~4,300 lb (2.0 AWD), and ~4,565 lb (2.7-liter V6 AWD). That aligns with Kelley Blue Book's trim-by-trim specifications and matches what we've seen on the scale from customer trade-ins. Kbb.com
2022 Lincoln Nautilus
For 2022, Lincoln's detailed specifications list a base curb weight of 4,165 lb for the 2.0-liter model and 4,545 lb for the 2.7-liter V6 AWD. The AWD 2.0-liter sits between those numbers in real-world builds. If you're towing or loading up for a trip, plan using these base figures plus passengers and cargo.
2021 Lincoln Nautilus
Lincoln's 2021 tech-spec sheet breaks curb weight out by configuration: 4,165 lb (2.0 FWD), 4,339 lb (2.0 AWD), and 4,545 lb (2.7 AWD). If you're comparing a Certified Pre-Owned 2021 to a 2022 model, you'll notice the weights are effectively a match, so expectations for ride and braking feel should be similar given like-for-like tires.
2020-2019 Lincoln Nautilus
These first Nautilus model years share identical base curb-weight specs: 4,142 lb (FWD) and 4,305 lb (AWD). Lincoln's 2019 tech specs document those numbers, and 2020 data from independent spec compilers (and our service-lane scales) confirm the carryover. If you're shopping older low-mileage examples, this parity makes apples-to-apples comparisons easy.
Why curb weight matters in the real world
Curb weight isn't just trivia-it shapes how your Nautilus behaves. More mass generally smooths out small bumps and road chatter, while adding a few feet to emergency stopping distances. It also factors into payload and towing math: payload equals GVWR minus curb weight, and tongue weight counts against payload. When you're planning a trip, the right way to think about it is "base curb weight + passengers + cargo + any hitch load." Lincoln's official towing materials and owner resources use the same definitions we use in the showroom.
Conclusion
If you want the lightest modern Nautilus, look to the 2019-2020 2.0 FWD models at roughly 4,142 lb. For the newest tech and cabin, the 2024-2025 redesign lands at 4,349 lb (gas) or 4,517 lb (hybrid), and 2026 is tracking to a comparable estimate. Different engines and drivetrains explain most year-to-year variation, but the overarching theme is consistency: every Nautilus is a solidly built, mid-size luxury SUV tuned for quiet, confident travel. If you'd like help translating curb weight into towing, tire, or brake recommendations for your specific use case, our team at Jim Burke Lincoln is happy to walk through real-world scenarios with you one-on-one.
