2021 Range Rover vs. 2021 Nautilus Comparison
The luxury mid-size SUV segment is awash with worthy contenders, all offering premium features that make driving these vehicles an absolute dream. However, when every vehicle is arguably well-equipped, finding the right one for your unique tastes can seem like a daunting task, so we're here to help by comparing two very popular models - the 2021 Range Rover and the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus. Which deserves a pot in your driveway? Let's find out.
Performance
The 2021 Range Rover has four powertrain choices so that you can choose the one that best meets your needs. There are three gasoline choices - a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-six, a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel, and a supercharged V8. The Range Rover also offers a plug-in hybrid that offers enough electric-only driving range for a modest daily commute or errands around Roanoke, VA.
The 2021 Nautilus falls short with only two available gasoline powertrains, and no available hybrid powertrains. In the Nautilus, there is a 2.0-liter inline-four or a twin-turbocharged V6. Both the Range Rover and the Nautilus come standard with front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is available in any edition of either SUV.
Another important distinction between these two SUVs is that the Range Rover truly puts the "Sports Utility" in the Sports Utility Vehicle, with its significant off-roading capabilities. When properly equipped, the Range Rover can tow up to 7,716 pounds with a 35.4-inch wading depth and an 8.7-inch obstacle clearance. The Nautilus has no comparable off-road capabilities, but could tow up to 2,000 pounds if absolutely necessary.
Interior and Amenities Review
Though both the Range Rover and the Nautilus are luxury vehicles, you'll quickly see that there is far more luxury to be had in the 2021 Range Rover than in the 2021 Nautilus. In the Range Rover, a Meridian sound system, tri-zone automatic climate control, navigation, real wood accents, and rich leather are all standard features. Higher trim levels only add more opulence with walnut wood trims, dual infotainment screens, a massaging feature in the front seats, satin-brushed metal cupholders, and a bottle cooler are all available to you.
The Nautilus, in comparison, is certainly nice with nice materials, a large infotainment screen, and premium finishes, but it fails to truly compare with the luxury of a Range Rover. Additionally, most of the nicest materials in the Nautilus are reserved for the uppermost trim levels, while they are standard in the Range Rover.
Safety Features
Both the 2021 Range Rover and the 2021 Nautilus come standard with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and a rearview camera. Both SUVs will require upgrades to access the full suite of safety features, including adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring.
