Second generation (CDX707; 2024)
The second-generation Nautilus was released in 2023 for the Chinese market. It is a mid-sized SUV with five seats, available with either a gasoline or a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain.[12][13] The North American market Nautilus was presented on April 17, 2023, and went on sale in early 2024, imported from China.[14] The GCC market Nautilus was launched on February 12, 2024.[15]
The interior features a high-mounted, 48-inch display, which integrates both the instrument cluster and forms part of the infotainment system along with a 11.1-inch touchscreen display. The upper display consists of two 24-inch displays mounted directly next to each other and is controlled by the lower touchscreen display, where the user can drag and drop "widgets" to configure the display contents. The second-generation Nautilus is the first model to feature the new Ford/Lincoln Digital Experience, which replaces Ford SYNC 4/4a and is based on Android Automotive OS.
The Nautilus has two powertrain options, a gasoline engine and a hybrid version. The standard engine is a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder making 250 hp and 280 lbft of torque, which is mounted to an eight-speed automatic transmission (8F35). The hybrid version combines the same engine making 207kW, which is more than the output of gasoline version, with a 140 kW electric motor through a planetary gearset eCVT (HF55) to achieve a total system output of 285 hp. All Nautilus models are all-wheel drive and have transverse-mounted engines.[16][17]
