The Lincoln Nautilus is a mid-sized luxury crossover SUV marketed over two generations by Ford Motor Company's Lincoln luxury brand. The Nautilus was initially renamed from the MKX as part of a midcycle update in 2018 for the 2019 model year, as Lincoln phased out its use of "MK" model names. The name Nautilus is derived from the ancient Greek word nautes, meaning "sailor", as in nautical or astronaut.
The first generation is based on the CD4 platform and was manufactured at Oakville Assembly in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, alongside the Ford Edge, Ford Flex, and Lincoln MKT and manufactured in Hangzhou Assembly in Zhejiang, China, by joint venture Changan Ford from 2021 to 2023. The second generation is solely produced by Changan Ford in China, as Ford was retooling the Oakville Assembly plant to produce electric vehicles.
