Specs at a Glance
If you're considering a new luxury SUV, Lincoln's latest lineup is worth your attention. Many drivers may find themselves choosing between the 2025 Lincoln Aviator and the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus. The three-row Aviator comfortably accommodates up to seven passengers, while the two-row Nautilus is an excellent choice for families of five. Let's explore how these two models compare.
Performance
The 2025 Lincoln Aviator boasts a twin-turbocharged V6 engine, delivering an impressive 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard with a rear-wheel-drive layout, though an all-wheel-drive system is available for added confidence. With a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, the Aviator is more than capable of hauling travel trailers or small boats.
On the other hand, the Nautilus comes equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking enhanced efficiency, Lincoln offers a hybrid variant that increases total output to 310 horsepower while also improving fuel economy. Unlike the Aviator, all-wheel drive comes standard across the Nautilus lineup. However, its towing capacity maxes out at 1,750 pounds.
Appearance
The 2025 Aviator receives a refreshed design, featuring an updated grille and new headlamps that give it a bold presence. For an even more distinctive look, the available Jet Appearance Package adds blacked-out exterior accents and exclusive 22-inch wheels. A Special Edition Package, which includes a black-painted roof, is also available.
The smaller Nautilus brings its own unique styling elements to the table. Eye-catching LED headlights and a striking grille define its front fascia. Like the Aviator, it offers the sleek Jet Appearance Package for a more aggressive aesthetic.
Features
Even at the base level, the Aviator provides a refined driving experience. Standard features include a panoramic Vista Roof, a new 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless charging, and heated/ventilated front seats. Higher trims offer premium upgrades such as Perfect Position Seats with Active Motion Massage and a 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D audio system.
The Nautilus also impresses with its standard features, which include a panoramic infotainment display with an 11.1-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, and Lincoln's BlueCruise hands-free driving system. For those looking for extra luxury, available upgrades include a Revel Ultima 3D sound system and a panoramic Vista Roof.
