My MKZ is much quieter than my Fusion ever was and has 400 hp. The leather is superior to anything you can get on a Fusion. It still smells like new two years later.

After having a Nautilus loaner for ten days, I mostly loved it, but a few things were disappointing compared to my 2017 MKZ. No dedicated steering wheel heat button. The MKZ has one between the heated and cooled seat buttons. It took me a few days to even discover how to turn on the steering wheel heat on my loaner. Putting it on the LCD screen seems like an afterthought on the Nautilus. No dedicated air flow buttons for directing air to main vents and/or floor vents. The MKZ has them. On the Nautilus you have to go to LCD climate screen to select. Ambient lighting is much better on the MKZ. There are lighting strips along each door as well as above the glove box and instrument panel. These are very cool. I would have expected the Nautilus to have these strips. On the MKZ if you open a door while the car is running, the strip for that door turns red. Hopefully, these oversights will be addressed 8n the redesign in a couple of years. .

I just had a loaner Nautilus for ten days and found the standard seats to be very comfortable. They are plush and supportive. Everyone I took for a ride agreed. I hated having to return the car and get into my MKZ seats with massage etc. My experience with the seats that have the massage feature is that they are too firm. I know MKZ seats are inferior to Nautilus seats with or without massage feature, but my next Lincoln will likely have standard seats. I did love the Nautilus ride and will consider in the future, but probably will wait for next major redesign.

So you think the MKX/Nautilus will have an 8” screen for how many more years? It should be thought as more than a mid cycle refresh. It is the beginning of a new model, The Nautilus.

First post in this forum. I really like the exterior changes to the Nautilus, but disappointed in interior. Wish the sync screen was more like the new Navigator. Any information on the size of the screen? Is it still 8 inches? My 2013 Fusion had an 8 inch screen as does my 2017 MKZ. Lincoln needs to up their game here to remain competitive. I was surprised when the Continental was introduced with an 8 inch screen too. The 10 inch screen of the Navigator should be available to all Lincolns. The Navigator’s look is more refined and more in line with luxury European models.
