The Lincoln Nautilus was released as the mid-cycle revision of the second-generation MKX in November 2017 for the 2019 model year. Adopting the styling of the newly introduced Continental and Navigator, the Nautilus transitioned from the previous split-wing grille to a large rectangular grille with a large Lincoln star emblem.

The counterpart of the updated Ford Edge, the Nautilus is slotted between the Aviator and the MKC (which was replaced by the Corsair for the 2020 model year) in Lincoln's lineup. A {{convert|245|hp|PS kW|0|adj=on}} 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline-four is the standard engine, with a {{convert|335|hp|PS kW|0|adj=on}} 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 carried over from the MKX as an option; both engines are fitted with start-stop capability. An 8-speed automatic transmission is paired to both engines (replacing the previous 6-speed).

For the 2021 model year, the Nautilus was once again refreshed with a new interior similar to the new Navigator, Aviator, and Corsair, featuring a larger 13.2" touchscreen and Ford's latest SYNC 4 system.{{Cite web|date=2020-11-20|title=Introducing the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus|url=https://www.lincoln.com/luxury-crossovers/nautilus/2021/?intcmp=hp-bb-reveal-nautilus#2021-Nautilus-tabbedcomp-sync4}} Minor changes were also made to the front bumper.{{Cite web |date=2020-11-20 |title=2021 Lincoln Nautilus Review, Pricing, and Specs |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/lincoln/nautilus-2021 |access-date=2022-05-17 |work=Car and Driver |first1=Drew |last1=Dorian |publisher=Hearst Magazines |language=en-us}}
