2025 Lincoln Nautilus vs. BMW X5: Compare Midsize Luxury Crossovers in Broomfield, CO
The Lincoln Nautilus is an exceptional midsize SUV, offering a serene and spacious cabin, plentiful practicality, and bold yet sophisticated styling. It's enjoyable to drive, with peppy performance options, balanced handling, and a smooth ride. It's also generously equipped with many desirable amenities and cutting-edge tech features.
The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus is among the most compelling midsize luxury crossovers in its segment. To demonstrate this, here's a quick look at how it compares in a few key areas to a prominent class competitor, the BMW X5.
Lincoln Nautilus vs. BMW X5: Amenities and Technology
While both models come standard with dual-zone automatic climate control, heated, power-adjustable front seats, and premium leatherette upholstery, the Lincoln Nautilus includes a heated steering wheel, which is optional in the X5. Additionally, the Lincoln Nautilus comes standard with a convenient Digital Key feature, which lets you use your smartphone in place of a traditional fob. The BMW X5 doesn't have this ability.
Both SUVs have large touchscreens and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. However, the Lincoln Nautilus also includes wireless device charging, which costs extra in the X5. While the X5 has a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, the Lincoln Nautilus's driver display is a stunning 48-inch screen that spans pillar to pillar across the dash, making it easy to monitor a wide range of information while keeping your eyes on the road.
Lincoln Nautilus vs. BMW X5: Accommodations and Versatility
Stepping inside, both models are clearly luxurious. However, the Lincoln Nautilus was fully redesigned for its second generation in 2024. As such, it exhibits a more contemporary interior aesthetic than the BMX X5, which was last redesigned in 2019. The Nautilus boasts attractive materials, premium soft-touch surfaces, and meticulously crafted design details.
While both SUVs are similarly sized, the Lincoln Nautilus makes better use of its interior space. Up front, the Nautilus provides 43.5 inches of legroom - 3.7 inches more than the BMW X5 (39.8). Rear occupants will particularly appreciate the Lincoln Nautilus, which offers a generous 43.1 inches of legroom. The X5's rear seat feels a bit cramped by comparison, providing just 37.4 inches of legroom.
The Lincoln Nautilus (71.3 cubic feet) and X5 (72.3 cubic feet) are closely matched in terms of max cargo capacity. However, the Nautilus has more storage when all seats are upright, offering 36.4 cubic feet compared to 33.9 in the X5.
Lincoln Nautilus vs. BMW X5: Driver Assistance
Both models support attentive driving with advanced safety features, including standard systems like collision mitigation, lane departure warning, blind-spot detection, and rear cross-traffic alert. However, the Lincoln Nautilus has many standard assistive technologies that the BMW X5 reserves for optional packages. Notable examples include:
- Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Lane Centering Assist, Predictive Speed Assist
- 360-Degree Camera
- Evasive Steer Assist
- Active Park Assist 2.0 (automated parking)
- Exit Warning
- Lincoln BlueCruise
