The all-new 2019 Lincoln Nautilus

Combined sales of the all-new Nautilus and the outgoing Lincoln MKX were up 20.4 percent year-over-year at 3,153 vehicles delivered. Lincoln noted that the Nautilus accounted for about half of all retail sales, which were up 27.3 percent in November, and that it’s currently taking just nine days to turn on dealer lots. What’s more, the Nautilus is following in the Navigator’s stead by commanding a hefty average transaction price, which sits at around $47,900 thanks to a 79 percent mix of Nautilus Reserve and Nautilus Black Label models.
The Navigator remains red-hot despite what Lincoln calls tight inventory for November, delivering a 27.3 percent increase at 1,566 sold. The Navigator Black Label is still taking around 14 days to turn, and it’s been key in helping drive major growth in luxury markets like California and Florida, which saw overall retail sales boosts of 190 percent and 102 percent in November, respectively.
