2025 Lincoln Nautilus vs 2025 Lexus RX,
Both the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus and 2025 Lexus RX are designed to stand out but in very different ways. The Nautilus leans into bold luxury with a wide stance, crisp lines, and a striking available 22.0-inch wheel design. In contrast, the RX keeps a softer, sculpted profile with its signature spindle grille and a more compact 19.0-inch wheel design on the RX 350 AWD. Both offer premium LED lighting and a strong curb presence, but the Nautilus brings a more commanding road feel, especially when navigating the wider roads around Fredericton or heading into the scenic routes of New Brunswick.
Interior Experience and Cargo Space
Inside, both SUVs feel upscale, but the Nautilus edges ahead with its larger cabin and a more tech-forward layout. It offers up to 68.8 litres of cargo space with the rear seats down, compared to 46.2 litres in the RX. Passengers will enjoy more rear legroom in the Lincoln too, at 43.1 inches versus the RX’s 37.4. The Lexus focuses on minimalist elegance, while the Nautilus goes all out with its available panoramic display and luxury touchpoints in trims like the Black Label AWD. Comfort, tech, and practicality combine better in Lincoln, making it ideal for weekend trips to Mactaquac Park or long drives to Saint John.
Under the Hood
Powertrain performance also separates these two. The RX 350 uses a 2.4-litre turbo engine producing 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, the Nautilus comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine generating 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. While the Lexus offers a slight edge in horsepower and towing capacity up to 3,500 lbs, the Lincoln delivers smoother acceleration and confident cruising. Both come with standard all-wheel drive, great for handling snowy Maritime winters. Fuel economy is nearly identical, sitting around 9.8 L/100 km combined for both, depending on configuration.
Technology and Features
When it comes to infotainment, the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus stands out with its 48.0-inch curved display, which integrates digital instrumentation and central controls seamlessly across the dash. Lexus offers a respectable 14.0-inch touchscreen, but it can’t match the cinematic feel of the Lincoln’s setup. Both vehicles offer premium sound systems, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but the Nautilus brings an even more connected feel with its SYNC 4 platform and available hands-free driving capabilities. Lexus remains dependable but plays it safer when it comes to next-gen features.
Safety and Value
Both the Nautilus and RX come with strong safety suites including adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. The Lexus RX has long been known for its safety reliability, but Lincoln brings an added layer of innovation with available advanced driver assist features and more interior space for peace of mind.
