Continue reading to learn why customers favor the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus over the 2022 Volvo XC60.
The 2022 Lincoln Nautilus has a starting price of $42,500, which is fantastic when considering the features included with the SUV. The luxury SUV is equipped with innovative technology, powerful driving abilities, and an advanced safety system.
The luxury SUV comes standard with a 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen with the SYNC 4 system. With that comes the built-in navigation system, Apple CarPlay, and an intelligent system that learns your preferences as you use the vehicle to display shortcuts and keep you updated with technology and updates. Additionally, drivers can utilize the Lincoln Way app and access vehicle features, including remote start/stop, lock/unlock and view critical vehicle information. Aside from the technology, the SUV interior features peaceful ambient lighting, optional leather-wrapped interior, heated and ventilated seats, and dual-zone electronic automatic temperature controls.
You and your passengers will have peace of mind as you drive the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus because it is equipped with a suite of safety features, including Lincoln Co-Pilot 360 1.0. This system includes blind spot information, a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assistance. Alongside these features is the parking assist feature that locates available spots and helps you steer into place. In addition, there are four standard airbags installed throughout the vehicle to keep everyone safe in the event of a collision.
Finally, the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus comes with driving features that give more control and power. The SUV has two engine options, starting with the turbocharged 2.0L I-4 engine that produces 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The alternative option is the twin-turbocharged 2.7L V6 engine that puts out a powerful 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Further, the Lincoln Nautilus is equipped with an eight-speed transmission to provide a smoother and more effortless shift while driving.
 The competitor to the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus is the 2022 Volvo XC60 which has a starting price of $42,650. Though this is only slightly more expensive than the 2022 Lincoln Nautilus, it does not carry the unique features offered by the Lincoln.Â
The cabin of the Volvo XC60 comes built with a touch screen that gives access to Google Play features and additional smartphone features. The touch screen pairs with the Bowers and Wilkins speakers, delivering quality sound. The SUV is also filled with plenty of comfort features that resemble the Lincoln, and these include cleaner cabin air, a panoramic roof, and climate control.
Along with the technology are the safety features included with the SUV. This includes BLIS technology, 360-degree parking view, pedestrian warning, and parking assist. Additionally, drivers can utilize the head-up display to watch the speed and follow navigation. Though these features assist in certain driving situations, it does not compare to Lincoln's suite of safety elements that prevent accidents.
Lastly, the 2022 Volvo XC60 has a couple of engine options that drivers can choose from-starting with the 2.0L turbocharged engine that produces 260 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The alternative is the 2.0L turbo and supercharged engine that produces 400 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque. Though Volvo's alternative engine option is slightly more powerful, it does not match Lincoln's versatility when driving in different conditions.
