In the world of SUVs, where every automaker is vying for the top spot, MotorTrend's 2025 SUV of the Year competition was a battleground like no other. With 37 contenders ranging from the humble subcompacts to the extravagant three-row behemoths, the stakes were high. Prices soared from a modest $35,000 to a jaw-dropping $150,000, but only one victor could emerge victorious. And that victor, ladies and gentlemen, was none other than the Lincoln Nautilus.
The Nautilus didn't just win; it conquered. Its refined design and opulent cabin experience left the competition in the dust, making every judge feel like royalty behind the wheel. Lincoln's new design language shines through in every detail, from the elegant front grille to the aggressive yet luxurious slim headlights. But the real magic happens inside, where a massive 48-inch screen dominates the dashboard, creating an atmosphere of unparalleled luxury for every passenger.
Under the hood, the Nautilus offers not one but two powertrain options to cater to every discerning driver. The standard 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine packs a solid punch, but for those craving more power, the hybrid version steps up the game with a boost in performance. While it may not be a performance SUV in the traditional sense, the Nautilus focuses on delivering a serene and tranquil driving experience. With top-notch safety features and Blue Cruise technology to ease the driver's stress, the Nautilus sets a new standard in the world of luxury SUVs.
Priced between $50,000 and $80,000, the Nautilus offers a range of models to suit every budget without compromising on features or performance. Whether opting for the gas or hybrid version, drivers can expect respectable fuel efficiency without sacrificing power. In conclusion, MotorTrend's choice of the Lincoln Nautilus as the 2025 SUV of the Year is a testament to Lincoln's commitment to redefining luxury and setting a new benchmark for the industry.
