FL Auto Korea said March 18 it will officially launch Lincoln's midsize SUV, the Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid, in South Korea.
 
The Nautilus Hybrid is a new trim of the second-generation model and is being introduced to the South Korean market for the first time. The company said the launch is aimed at strengthening its push into the premium midsize SUV segment while responding to growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles.

The hybrid model is designed to further emphasize Lincoln's core brand concept of "Quiet Flight." The Nautilus name comes from a Latin word meaning "exploration," and the vehicle is positioned around an elegant design, smooth driving performance and a spacious interior.

The hybrid system pairs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a 99-kilowatt electric motor for a combined 321 horsepower. Under South Korea's certification standards, it is rated at about 11.9 kilometers per liter in combined fuel economy.

Exterior details include Lincoln's signature horizontal design cues and modern white Lincoln lettering across the rear. A blue-accented Lincoln emblem in the center of the grille and nameplate badges on the doors are used to distinguish the hybrid model.
 
Inside, the Nautilus Hybrid features a 48-inch panoramic display and an 11.1-inch center-stack touchscreen. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Driver-assistance and convenience features include forward collision-avoidance assist, cruise control, lane-centering assist and lane-keeping assist.
 
Lee Yun-dong, CEO of FL Auto Korea, said the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus "more precisely implements Lincoln's 'ultimate sanctuary' through its hybrid system," adding that he hopes more customers will experience the model's differentiated value.
 
The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid is priced at 95 million won, including value-added tax and based on a 3.5% individual consumption tax rate.
