The first impression you make extends beyond what you’re wearing and how you present yourself; the vehicle you drive speaks volumes, too. The Lincoln Nautilus and the Genesis GV80 have a lot to say with their stunning silhouettes, color palettes, and lush interiors. These head-turners reflect your status and good taste to deliver a 5-star experience and make you feel like a VIP. Hello, curb appeal!
From first glance, how you’re dressed and the color you choose express your personality. The Lincoln Nautilus and the Genesis GV80 offer shades ranging from classic grayscale black, white, and silver tones to more anomalous hues like Whisper Blue with the Lincoln and Storr Green with the Genesis. Only the Lincoln Nautilus offers two distinctive red paints to add an incandescent element to every drive: Red Carpet and Diamond Red .
Both models offer panoramic roofs that provide sky views that reflect your limitless aspirations and natural light as bright as your future. The Lincoln Nautilus and the GV80 include unique grilles, wheels up to 22 inches, and LED headlamps. As you approach your vehicle, does it welcome you? The Lincoln Nautilus does, thanks to the Lincoln Embrace and its sequence of light patterns. When you exit, it will also bid you adieu.
While the exterior of your luxury SUV may speak loud and clear, you might prefer its interior to whisper. The cabin is your haven from the outside world, your respite from a busy day of meetings or a grueling workout on the court. The Lincoln Nautilus and the Genesis GV80 are designed so meticulously that you may begin to consider at least one of them your mobile spa.
Calming textile shades like Allura Blue in the Lincoln Nautilus drape available 24-way Perfect Position massaging seats . Meanwhile, Active Noise Control maintains a peaceful mood as a crystal-inspired volume knob controls soothing audio. Available Lincoln Rejuvenate and Digital Scents help maintain your Zen, while the Genesis GV80’s Mood Curator offers similar adjustments to create an ambient, multisensory experience. Still, the GV80’s Ergo Motion seats adjust a maximum of 18 ways.
From your daily commute to the office, traveling to out-of-town conferences, date nights with your partner, and taking the family on a long-anticipated road trip, you put a lot of miles on your SUV. You rely on it to take you here, there, and everywhere. With their potent powertrains, the Lincoln Nautilus and the Genesis GV80 are ready whenever you are, although one will take you there more efficiently.
A vehicle’s performance begins with its powertrain. The Lincoln Nautilus and the Genesis GV80 each equip standard turbocharged 4-cylinder engines that produce at least 250 horsepower (HP) and mate them to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Similarly, they have standard all-wheel drive for maximum traction and stability. Likewise, they each offer five Selectable Drive Modes to adapt suspension, steering, and shift points to any road conditions you encounter.
Both models offer another powertrain option that generates over 300 HP. The Genesis opts for a twin-turbo V6 gasoline engine, keeping the same automatic transmission from its base trim. On the other hand, the available hybrid 2.0L turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor in the Lincoln Nautilus allows you to drive greener and cleaner. Its CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) provides seamless automatic shifting for a smoother ride.
When you drive the Lincoln Nautilus or the Genesis GV80, you want to continue driving, not pause your travels and pull over to the pump. Similarities aside, their standard turbocharged traditional engines deliver significantly different fuel economies.
MODEL | STANDARD EPA-ESTIMATED MPG |
|---|---|

. . . and that’s before we consider the Lincoln’s ace in the hole: its hybrid.
It comes as no surprise that the hybrid setup in the Lincoln Nautilus yields greater efficiency than the GV80’s gasoline engine. The Lincoln Nautilus can switch between dual power sources and utilizes regenerative braking to convert energy to usable electricity.
- Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid (available): EPA-estimated 30 city/31 hwy MPG*
- Genesis GV80 (available): EPA-estimated 16 city/20 hwy MPG

To enhance your experience and fully immerse yourself in sound, add the available 28-speaker Revel® Ultima 3D audio system with QuantumLogic® Surround 3D technology, which transforms the Lincoln Nautilus cabin into a concert hall. The GV80's top-tier surround sound system taps out at 18 speakers.
