The verdict

What's good

Black Label cabin materials are hand-selected — fit quality rivals Volvo and Lexus
Quiet Glide suspension tuning makes urban commutes genuinely relaxing
28-Way Perfect Position seats are among the most adjustable in any SUV
EcoBoost V6 delivers effortless highway passing without downshifting drama

What's not

Reliability record lags Lexus and Genesis at three and five year ownership
Infotainment can feel sluggish when switching between apps mid-journey
Brand prestige gap versus German rivals still affects three-year resale value
Rear headroom adequate but not exceptional given the vehicle's footprint

The engine

EcoBoost (Nano)

Twin-Turbo V6

A compact twin-turbo six that punches well above its displacement, serving up strong, quiet low-end torque ideal for effortless luxury-crossover progress.

Part of Ford's EcoBoost family and codenamed 'Nano,' it debuted in the 2015 F-150 and went on to power numerous Lincoln models, including the Nautilus.

Its block is made of compacted graphite iron, the same tough material Ford uses in its Power Stroke diesels and a first for a Ford gasoline engine.
That CGI block offers roughly 75 percent higher tensile strength and double the fatigue strength of conventional grey iron, allowing a lighter, stronger structure.
Despite being a small-displacement V6, it was engineered to suit the weight-saving aluminum-bodied F-150 truck before migrating into Lincoln luxury vehicles.
