The overview

The Nautilus was redesigned for 2024. In addition to styling updates, the two-row midsized luxury SUV boasts an optional hybrid drivetrain and a wide display screen that wraps around the front of the cabin. The base engine is a 250-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive; the optional 310-hp hybrid powertrain can be ordered on all trim levels and is mated to a continuously variable transmission. Two-tone paint and a blacked-out trim package are optional. All of the latest active safety features come standard. Ford's excellent BlueCruise (formerly called ActiveGlide) active driving assistance system is available as a subscription, and 2025 models and up got a free four-year trial of the system. For 2026, automatic lane change functionality is added to all trims.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
