Show-Stopping Style

Imagine arriving at any destination and heads snap in your direction. Eyes gleam with intense interest, and the gaze lingers with longing. Will this be achieved with the Lincoln Nautilus or the Lexus RX 350? The time has come to find out.

The Lincoln Nautilus takes a revolutionary approach to design with its sturdy, angular frame. Unlike the RX 350, the Lincoln Nautilus features a less dramatic curve between the hood and the roof, making it more easily distinguishable in a crowded parking lot.

The assertiveness of the Lincoln Nautilus is enhanced by its adaptive LED headlamps that seamlessly illuminate the darkest nights while showcasing a design reminiscent of Hermès with its winged appearance, conveying its true essence.

Adding Lincoln Embrace, a system that greets you with a choreographed light display, elevates the Lincoln to a level unobtainable by the Lexus RX 350, which notably lacks these stylistic choices in favor of a more conventional look rather than a bold design statement.

Always Ready to Impress

Climb inside the Lincoln Nautilus and the Lexus RX 350 and find cabins styled to the nines. Both models can be optionally outfitted with a panoramic roof that floods the cabin with natural light during the day and makes the space feel airy and expansive. When the sun goes down, interior ambient lighting helps create a relaxing, opulent mood.

Despite these similarities, it’s the Lincoln Nautilus that delivers a more impressive cabin, thanks to these standard and available amenities:

• Crystal-inspired volume knob to add an air of sophistication
• Auto Air Refresh to filter out pollutants from the cabin
• Active Noise Cancellation to block unwanted travel sounds

Another exclusive feature of the Lincoln is symphonic chimes. Crafted from live orchestra recordings, symphonic chimes offer a refined auditory experience that replaces traditional digital sounds found with the RX 350 with softer, more elegant tones.

Your Ticket to Relaxation

Your commute to the office has never felt more effortless. Unlike ever before, you'll feel at ease when you enable heated front seats and sense your body melt into the supportive seats. On days you need a quick cool-down, engage the available ventilated front seats to enjoy that level of comfort.

While heated front seats do wonders to help ease back and shoulder tension, the Lincoln Nautilus goes the extra mile. This SUV can be optionally equipped with Perfect Position front seats with Active Motion®. These seats provide 24-way power-adjustable capabilities and targeted massage points for enhanced relaxation.

Sadly, for Lexus RX 350 drivers, no massaging seats are offered.

Engage Your Senses

The engineers of the Lincoln Nautilus understand that engaging the senses is the best way to help riders feel relaxed. Its seat amenities deliver a tactile response, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Adding panoramic screens and selectable display themes is what is needed to experience next-level you time during your daughter’s piano lesson.

Equipped with four distinct sensory themes, the cabin of the Lincoln Nautilus transforms into a soothing atmosphere that highlights one of these unique visual modes:

• Constellation
• Engage
• Inspire
• Tranquil

This system pairs perfectly with available Digital Scent so that you can enjoy aromatherapy on the go. When you consider Lincoln Rejuvenate, an available program that runs a 5- or 10-minute wellness program when parked, it’s clear every destination with the Lincoln Nautilus will be met with total relaxation.

Once again, no similar features are found with the Lexus RX 350.

Ready for Whatever Comes Your Way

Solo travels and family adventures just got safer. The Lincoln Nautilus and the Lexus RX 350 have an advanced driver-assist suite that constantly scans vehicle surroundings and alerts to potential hazards. Both Lincoln Co-Pilot360® Drive 2.0 and Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 include advanced features like:

• Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane-Keeping System
• Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Alert
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go

Despite these similarities, the Lincoln delivers a more confident commute thanks to the addition of standard Lincoln BlueCruise. This advanced system enables hands-free driving across more than 130,000 miles of North American roads.

A New Mood Every Day

The Lincoln Nautilus and the Lexus RX 350 were designed with adaptability in mind. Climate and seat settings can be adjusted daily to ensure optimal comfort on each trip. But that's not all. These models come with Selectable Drive Modes that alter how your SUV performs depending on your mood.

In the Lincoln Nautilus, an Excite mode enhances steering and throttle response for a sport-tuned ride, while a Conserve mode optimizes fuel efficiency; these are represented by Sport and ECO modes in the RX 350.

Some days, you may want to catch up on your favorite podcast; other days, you may need to locate a new point of interest. Which of these SUVs can assist with all your daily demands?

The Lincoln Nautilus, proving adjust-on-the-fly capabilities, is the winner in this category. With more tech features and added space for passenger/cargo flexibility, it’s better suited to meet your ever-changing needs.
