The electrified version of the luxury SUV model vanished from online configurators recently, but it’s still available through dealers
- Looking for the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus hybrid online? The trim appears to be hidden in Lincoln’s configurator
- It’s not gone away, though—you’ll just have to “work with” your local dealer to get one, now
- The Canadian-market Nautilus is built in China—and Canada just imposed some tariffs on Chinese EVs
When asked about hybrid availability on the Nautilus for 2025, reps for Lincoln in Canada told us the configuration is indeed still available, though, but “customers would have to work with their local dealership to get one,” before going on to confirm it remains a $3,500 option on this model. This confirms that, yes, the powertrain type is still available, even if it no longer appears on the configurator for our market.
Why might Lincoln be downplaying the availability of a Nautilus hybrid? The rep didn’t say, but we will note that the Nautilus is assembled in China, and that, coincidentally, China is a country to which Canada has imposed some tariffs recently — among them a 100% tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles, and a 25% surtax on aluminum and steel imports. Those changes came into effect October 1 and 15, respectively.
