Compare the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Premiere vs Reserve - Grapevine, TX

Lincoln's commitment to excellence shines through in the newest Nautilus. Offered in both hybrid and gas-powered versions, this compact yet powerful lineup is ready to impress. The Premiere and Reserve trims will be major highlights at our dealership this year.

Performance

The Nautilus Premiere and Reserve are equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. For drivers seeking more muscle, the hybrid option delivers 285 total system horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, along with a smooth CVT transmission. Each trim has distinct driving dynamics due to different Driver Assist features-most notably, the Reserve's adaptive suspension, which isn't available on the Premiere.

Appearance

While both trims share Lincoln's signature bold styling, there are clear visual differences. The Premiere rides on 19" Bright-machined aluminum wheels with Carbonized gray-painted pockets, while the Reserve sports 21" Bright-machined aluminum wheels with Dark Tarnish-painted pockets. The Reserve also features a black-painted roof and a convenient hands-free liftgate. Seeing both trims in person reveals just how much effort Lincoln put into giving each model its own personality. A test drive is the perfect way to appreciate the subtle interior variations between them.

Features

Lincoln designed every 2026 Nautilus with distinctive touches. Inside the Premiere, you'll find a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 48" panoramic display, and elegant ambient lighting paired with soft-touch seating. The Reserve takes luxury even further with leather-trimmed heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic vista roof, and signature symphonic chimes. Both trims are equipped with Lincoln's advanced driver-assist technologies, including Blind Spot Assist, a 360-degree camera, and the Lincoln Co-Pilot360 Drive 2.0 system.
