2021 Lexus RX vs. 2021 Lincoln Nautilus
March 24 2021, Lexus Laval
If you are looking for a midsize luxury SUV that puts emphasis on comfort and refinement, the 2021 Lexus RX has everything you are looking for. The Lexus RX delivers impressive performance along with remarkable refinement and the best reliability in the segment. This is what allows the Lexus RX to stand out from other competitors, even competitors that also focus more on comfort like the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus.
The Lincoln Nautilus has been redesigned recently, but it’s still lagging behind the Lexus RX when it comes to overall refinement and the ability to balance luxury and performance. The other point to make between the Lexus RX and the Lincoln Nautilus is that the RX is available in a hybrid version, which is not possible in the Nautilus, and you can also add a third row of seats in the Lexus RX - something you cannot find in the Nautilus.
Combining these factors along with Lexus’ proven reliability and better resale value make the RX the best choice when compared to the Lincoln Nautilus.
Lexus RX buyers will also enjoy a more powerful engine in their luxury SUV. The RX is powered out of the gate by a 3.5 L V6 engine that has proven its reliability time and time again. This engine delivers 295 horsepower along with 267 pound-feet of torque, which is considerably more than the Lincoln Nautilus. The latter offers a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine out of the gate and delivers only 250 horsepower.
The other option that you can find in the Lexus lineup is a hybrid powertrain, which offers 308 horsepower but more importantly, an average fuel economy rating of just 8 litres per 100 kilometres. Last but not least, the Lexus RX L offers a third row of seats for added convenience.
