The GV80 Coupe’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Nautilus doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

The GV80 Coupe has a standard front seat center airbag, which deploys between the driver and front passenger, protecting them from injuries caused by striking each other in serious side impacts. The Nautilus doesn’t offer front seat center airbags.

In a Vehicle-to-Vehicle Frontal Crash Prevention 2.0 test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Genesis GV80 Coupe achieved a “Good” rating - the highest possible - for its performance in forward collision warning and automatic braking systems, demonstrating its excellent capabilities in preventing collisions. The Lincoln Nautilus has not been tested.

When descending a steep, off-road slope, the GV80 Coupe’s standard Downhill Brake Control allows you to creep down safely. The Nautilus doesn’t offer Downhill Brake Control.

Both the GV80 Coupe and the Nautilus have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, post-collision automatic braking systems, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Genesis GV80 Coupe weighs 445 to 810 pounds more than the Lincoln Nautilus. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

Genesis will pay for oil changes, tire rotations, air filter replacements, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Lincoln doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the Nautilus. (Lincoln offers free mainteance on some Nautilus models.)

Reliability

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2024 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Genesis vehicles are better in initial quality than Lincoln vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Genesis above average in initial quality. With 40 more problems per 100 vehicles, Lincoln is rated below average.

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2024 survey of the owners of three-year-old vehicles provides the long-term dependability statistics that show that Genesis vehicles are more reliable than Lincoln With 51 fewer problems per 100 vehicles in the first three years of ownership, J.D. Power ranks Genesis higher than Lincoln.

Engine

The GV80 3.5T Coupe’s standard 3.5 turbo V6 produces 125 more horsepower (375 vs. 250) and 111 lbs.-ft. more torque (391 vs. 280) than the Nautilus’ standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder. The GV80 3.5T Coupe’s 3.5 turbo V6 produces 65 more horsepower (375 vs. 310) and 96 lbs.-ft. more torque (391 vs. 295) than the Nautilus’ optional 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder hybrid. The GV80 3.5 e-Supercharger’s standard 3.5 turbo/supercharged V6 hybrid produces 99 more horsepower (409 vs. 310) and 110 lbs.-ft. more torque (405 vs. 295) than the Nautilus’ optional 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder hybrid.

As tested in Motor Trend the GV80 3.5 e-Supercharger 3.5 turbo/supercharged V6 hybrid is faster than the Lincoln Nautilus 4 cyl. hybrid gas:

	GV80 Coupe	Nautilus
Zero to 60 MPH	5.2 sec	6.9 sec
Quarter Mile	13.8 sec	15.2 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile	101.1 MPH	96 MPH

Fuel Economy and Range

The GV80 Coupe has a gallon more fuel capacity than the Nautilus Hybrid’s standard fuel tank (21.1 vs. 20.1 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the GV80 Coupe’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Nautilus:

	GV80 Coupe	Nautilus
Front Rotors	14.9 inches	13.6 inches
Rear Rotors	14.2 inches	12.6 inches

The GV80 Coupe’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the Nautilus are solid, not vented.

The GV80 Coupe stops much shorter than the Nautilus:

	GV80 Coupe	Nautilus
70 to 0 MPH	175 feet	179 feet	Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH	118 feet	133 feet	Motor Trend

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the GV80 Coupe has larger tires than the Nautilus (265/50R20 vs. 255/60R19).

The GV80 Coupe’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Nautilus’ standard 60 series tires. The GV80 Coupe’s optional tires have a lower 40 series profile than the Nautilus’ optional 45 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the GV80 Coupe has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the Nautilus.

Suspension and Handling

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the GV80 Coupe’s wheelbase is 2.1 inches longer than on the Nautilus (116.3 inches vs. 114.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the GV80 Coupe is .7 inches wider in the front and 1.2 inches wider in the rear than on the Nautilus.

The GV80 3.5 e-Supercharger handles at .81 G’s, while the Nautilus Black Label pulls only .77 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The GV80 3.5 e-Supercharger executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 1.6 seconds quicker than the Nautilus Black Label (27.2 seconds @ .66 average G’s vs. 28.8 seconds @ .59 average G’s).

For greater off-road capability the GV80 Coupe has a greater minimum ground clearance than the Nautilus (8.1 vs. 7.9 inches), allowing the GV80 Coupe to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

Chassis

The front grille of the GV80 Coupe uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Nautilus doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

Passenger Space

The GV80 Coupe has .6 inches more front headroom and 1.7 inches more front shoulder room than the Nautilus.

Cargo Capacity

A standard locking glovebox (which can’t be accessed with the valet key) keeps your small valuables safer in the GV80 Coupe. The Nautilus doesn’t offer locking storage for small valuables.

Towing

The GV80 Coupe’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the Nautilus’ (6000 vs. 0 pounds).

Servicing Ease

The engine in the GV80 Coupe is mounted longitudinally (North-South), instead of sideways, as in the Nautilus. This makes it easier to service and maintain, because the accessory belts are in front.

Ergonomics

The GV80 Coupe has a standard heads-up display that projects speed, navigation instruction and driver assistance information readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Nautilus doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The GV80 Coupe’s standard Proximity Key allows you to unlock the doors from any outside door handle, open the cargo door, and start the engine, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Intelligent Access standard on the Nautilus doesn’t offer a sensor on the rear doors, so you’ll have to reach a front handle to unlock the rear door.

The GV80 Coupe’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Nautilus has an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

Standard air conditioned seats in the front and rear seats keep the GV80 Coupe’s passengers comfortable and take the sting out of hot leather in summer. The Nautilus doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

The GV80 Coupe’s Smart Parking Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. Remote Smart Parking Assist will park and retrieve your car remotely: press a button and watch it park itself. This is ideal for tight locations. The Nautilus’ automatic parking system does not offer parking by remote control.
