Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lincoln Nautilus than in the Lexus RX 500h, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Lincoln Nautilus will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus RX 500h.

Convenience
With the Lincoln Nautilus, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Lexus RX 500h, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Lexus RX 500h is somewhat more expensive than the Lincoln Nautilus.

Dimensions
Since the Lexus RX 500h is much slimmer than the Lincoln Nautilus, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Lexus RX 500h takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Lincoln Nautilus.

Handling
The Lexus RX 500h has a larger turning radius than the Lincoln Nautilus, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Lexus RX 500h is clearly the choice over the Lincoln Nautilus for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Lexus RX 500h greatly out-muscles the Lincoln Nautilus.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Lexus RX 500h does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Lincoln Nautilus.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Lexus RX 500h and the Lincoln Nautilus. The Lexus RX 500h has significantly less cargo capacity than the Lincoln Nautilus.
