2026 Lincoln Nautilus Engine & Performance
Crafted for efficiency and responsive power, the turbocharged gas and hybrid engine options for the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus are ready to elevate your everyday journeys. A turbocharged 2.0L inline four-cylinder (I4) engine is standard across the trim lineup. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, it makes 250 horsepower while achieving up to 21 city and 29 highway MPG.
