2025 Lincoln Nautilus vs 2025 Mercedes‑Benz GLE
The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus brings a fresh blend of refinement, efficiency, and technology to the mid‑size luxury SUV segment-offering tangible benefits that stand out when compared with the 2025 Mercedes‑Benz GLE. Whether navigating the coastal roads near Egg Harbor Township, cruising on the Garden State Parkway, or simply enjoying quiet comfort during a local drive, the Nautilus strikes a satisfying balance of daily practicality and premium experience.
Features
The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus takes luxury and technology to a new level, showcasing a fully redesigned interior anchored by a stunning panoramic digital display that spans the entire dashboard. This immersive interface isn't just futuristic in appearance - it's functional, intuitive, and integrated seamlessly with Lincoln's new infotainment system. Below the main display is an 11.1-inch touchscreen that controls climate, navigation, and media with crisp responsiveness.
Comfort features further elevate the Nautilus experience. The available Perfect Position front seats offer 24-way adjustability with Active Motion massage functionality, and the cabin includes customizable ambient lighting and a unique scent diffusion system that brings spa-like serenity to your daily commute. For longer drives along the Garden State Parkway or coastal routes, the available Revel Ultima 3D audio system with 28 speakers provides a rich soundscape unmatched in the class.While the Mercedes-Benz GLE offers a high-end interior and strong technology integration through its MBUX system, many of its more desirable comfort and technology features - such as massaging seats or upgraded audio - are only available through costly optional packages or higher-tier trims. The Lincoln Nautilus offers these amenities more accessibly, making luxury more attainable without compromise.
Safety and Driver Assistance Features
In Egg Harbor Township, driving conditions can range from heavy highway traffic to local back roads and seasonal weather variability. That's where the standard Lincoln Co-Pilot360 2.2 system becomes a standout. It includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping system, and adaptive cruise control with lane centering. These advanced safety technologies come standard on the Nautilus, delivering real peace of mind from the moment you drive off the lot.
Additionally, the Nautilus offers Lincoln BlueCruise hands-free highway driving capability on pre-qualified sections of divided highways. This system, included with select trims and enabled via over-the-air activation, adds convenience and confidence to longer trips, such as weekend getaways to Cape May or commutes to Philadelphia.Mercedes-Benz equips the GLE with many of the same driver assistance technologies, but many are bundled into the optional Driver Assistance Package. This includes features like active steering assist and enhanced adaptive cruise control, which often require stepping up in trim or adding thousands of dollars in options. In contrast, the Nautilus provides a more complete and safety-focused offering as part of its standard and mid-tier trim levels.
Environmental Impact and Sustainability
Fuel efficiency and sustainability continue to be top considerations for drivers in New Jersey, where gas prices can vary and eco-conscious decisions are increasingly valued. The 2025 Lincoln Nautilus addresses both with the availability of a full hybrid powertrain. This 2.0-liter turbocharged hybrid engine is paired with an electric motor and delivers up to 30 miles per gallon combined, according to EPA estimates. For drivers who split time between local errands and longer highway drives, this translates into fewer trips to the pump and a smaller environmental footprint.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE, while offering a mild hybrid EQ Boost system in some trims, does not offer a full hybrid or plug-in hybrid option in the standard U.S. lineup for 2025. As a result, its fuel economy lags behind the Nautilus hybrid, and it does not provide the same level of emissions reduction or energy regeneration. This distinction becomes especially important for Egg Harbor Township drivers who want to reduce their carbon footprint without transitioning to a fully electric vehicle. By choosing the Nautilus hybrid, customers gain a practical and sustainable driving solution that doesn't sacrifice performance or luxury. It's ideal for families, commuters, and environmentally conscious drivers alike.
Driving around Egg Harbor Township-a locale that rewards both efficiency and serenity-the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus shines with a harmonious blend of hybrid performance, refined comfort, and advanced driver support. Its thoughtful design and features align directly with what many suburban and coastal drivers seek: enjoyable, effortless journeys without compromise.
