Lincoln Nautilus Sales Figures

Lincoln Nautilus

Here you will find monthly and yearly United States and Canadian sales figures for the Lincoln Nautilus, sold as the Lincoln MKX from its 2007 launch through the 2018 model year. The Nautilus is Lincoln’s midsize two-row luxury SUV, slotted between the compact Corsair and the three-row Aviator, and it competes with the Acura RDX, Cadillac XT5, Lexus RX and Volvo XC60. Lincoln renamed the MKX to Nautilus for the 2019 model year and fully redesigned the vehicle for 2024, so the single sales history below covers both nameplates.

Lincoln Nautilus Sales in the United States

The nameplate reached American showrooms at the end of 2006 and posted 37,953 units in its first full year, 2007. Volume fell to 21,433 in 2009 during the recession and then settled into the low-to-mid 20,000s for most of the first half of the 2010s. A second wind arrived with the 2016 refresh, lifting deliveries to 30,967 in 2016, 31,031 in 2017 and 31,610 in 2019, the best result of the Nautilus era to that point. Sales dipped to 22,743 in 2020 and bottomed at 20,635 in 2022 as inventory ran thin. The fully redesigned second-generation Nautilus then produced the strongest year in this dataset, 39,641 units in 2024, followed by 33,744 in 2025. Through June 2026 Lincoln has delivered 18,182 Nautilus SUVs in the United States, essentially level with the 18,533 recorded over the same six months of 2025.

Lincoln Nautilus Sales in Canada

Canadian volume followed a similar arc on a smaller scale. Deliveries climbed from 2,531 in 2007 to a first peak of 4,595 in 2011, then drifted down through the middle of the decade and fell to 1,625 in 2021, the weakest full year on record. The recovery has been sharper in Canada than in the United States: 2,175 in 2022, 3,351 in 2024 and 4,497 in 2025, the strongest Canadian year since 2011. Through the first half of 2026 Lincoln has sold 2,088 units in Canada, ahead of the 1,895 delivered over the same period a year earlier.
