Check out some of the Nautilus' key features an options from this overview video from the folks over at cars.com. This model in particular is the Black Label, which comes with a host of unique options and privileges. https://www.cars.com/videos/2019-lin...5970070761001/

I do agree with him about the interior fit and finish, as I think it could be much better. For what you're spending on the Nautilus you would think there would be a closer attention to detail. There is no way we should be seeing gaps between leather and wood paneling. The infotainment system looks like it was pulled right out of a lower end Ford.

As there is a lot of parts sharing between the MKX and the first gen Nautilus, I feel like there were a bit limited with the equipment options. I would expect things to radically improve in the next MY, as it begins to build upon the platform.

Actually, I think we'll see only modest changes until the MY2022 or MY2023 redesign. Remember, the Nautilus is, in the end, a mid-cycle refresh (though one with significant changes to the front end and drive train) not a redesign. That's when the radical changes will come.

A redesign is probably going to come with a price hike as well, so its best they hold off on that for a few years. This will give them time to build up their consumer base and get feedback from owners of what changes need to be made.

Typical Year-to-Year increases are what you should expect, Lincoln nor any car maker should bump price beyond those common tiers.
Ultimately, they are subject to the segments limitations.

Not just about the design costs, but you can choose to look at it as an investment. You'd love to see it in a better form and that's how the message spreads and the fan base builds.
