HEAD TO HEAD: LINCOLN NAUTILUS VS MERCEDES GLE

The luxury midsize SUV segment is more competitive than ever, and two standout models in 2025 are the Lincoln Nautilus and the Mercedes-Benz GLE. Both SUVs deliver premium style, cutting-edge technology, and smooth performance. But which one offers the best balance of value, luxury, and innovation? At Lincoln North Miami, we've broken down the key differences between the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus and the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE so you can make an informed decision. 

Performance:

The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 250 horsepower. It also offers an available hybrid powertrain that balances strong performance with impressive efficiency. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE starts with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 255 horsepower and offers an optional six-cylinder mild-hybrid at 375 horsepower. While the GLE delivers more power, the Nautilus is tuned for a smoother and quieter ride perfect for daily driving and long-distance comfort.

Interior:

Inside the 2025 Nautilus, you'll find a modern, driver-focused cabin. Its standout feature is a 48-inch panoramic display across the dashboard, paired with seamless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. Premium options include 22-way power-adjustable seats and a 19-speaker Revel® Ultima audio system. The 2025 GLE features a dual 12.3-inch display setup with luxury add-ons like massaging seats and a Burmester® sound system. While advanced, the GLE's tech setup doesn't match the innovation of the Nautilus' sweeping digital display.

The Nautilus includes Lincoln Co-Pilot360® Vision as standard. This suite offers adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, blind spot detection, and a 360-degree camera. The GLE also comes with advanced driver assistance, including automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assist. Optional upgrades like a night vision system are available, but the Nautilus delivers a more comprehensive list of features without extra cost.

The 2025 Nautilus has a lower starting price than the GLE, making it an accessible choice for luxury SUV buyers. Higher trims, like the Black Label, add exclusive themes, premium finishes, and ownership perks-still under the price of top GLE trims. The GLE offers strong performance options but can quickly become expensive as features are added. The Nautilus provides more standard luxury for less, making it the stronger value overall.

If you're in the market for a luxurious and spacious SUV, the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus is an excellent choice. And if you're looking for a dealership with a wide selection of trims, look no further than Lincoln North Miami.

The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus is available in four trims: Standard, Reserve, Grand Touring, and Black Label. The Standard and Reserve models include premium features such as a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a 13-speaker sound system.

For added performance and comfort, the Grand Touring and Black Label trims bring even more luxury. Options include a plug-in hybrid powertrain for increased efficiency, 22-way power-adjustable seats, and a 19-speaker Revel Ultima audio system.
