What is the fuel consumption of the Lincoln Nautilus?
2 Answers
There are a total of 6 models of the Lincoln Nautilus currently on sale. Among them, the 2021 2.0T Front-Wheel Drive Premium model, equipped with a 245 horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.1L per 100 kilometers. The 2021 2.0T All-Wheel Drive Reserve, California Coast Limited Edition, and Reserve Plus models, also equipped with a 245 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.7L per 100 kilometers. The 2021 2.7T All-Wheel Drive Presidential and Black Label models, equipped with a 322 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 9.6L per 100 kilometers. Many factors affect fuel consumption, but the decisive factor is the powertrain configuration. The Lincoln Nautilus is equipped with two high-performance engines: a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 2.7T six-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine, delivering strong performance. The transmission is matched with either an 8-speed automatic or an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. The engine start-stop function of the Nautilus also significantly contributes to fuel economy. The battery has sufficient capacity to keep the engine in a stopped state during prolonged stops at traffic lights. The fuel tank capacity of the Lincoln Nautilus is 70L. The distance each model can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: 2021 2.0T Front-Wheel Drive Premium model: 70/8.1*100 = 864km. 2021 2.0T All-Wheel Drive Reserve, California Coast Limited Edition, and Reserve Plus models: 70/8.7*100 = 804km. 2021 2.7T All-Wheel Drive Presidential and Black Label models: 70/9.6*100 = 729km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline to burn. Heavier cars also consume more fuel due to the need for greater driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine control unit may use higher RPMs to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
The fuel consumption of the Lincoln Nautilus usually depends on the specific model and driving conditions. The EPA-estimated combined fuel economy ranges from 19 to 20 miles per gallon (MPG), dropping to around 17 MPG in city driving and rising to about 25 MPG on smooth highways. However, actual usage may vary slightly, as driving habits have a significant impact—frequent rapid acceleration or hard braking consumes more fuel, and carrying more passengers or heavy cargo also increases consumption. Low tire pressure can further affect efficiency, so it's recommended to check it monthly. Personally, I find this car spacious and exceptionally comfortable, especially on long trips where wind noise is well-controlled. The only downside is that fuel costs add up to a bit more per month compared to smaller cars. Overall, it's a practical family SUV, and with proper maintenance, fuel consumption remains stable for up to ten years.
