Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lincoln Nautilus than in the Volvo XC40. The Lincoln Nautilus will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC40.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Lincoln Nautilus, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Volvo XC40.

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 Lincoln Nautilus is somewhat more expensive than the Volvo XC40.

The Lincoln Nautilus has the same turning radius as the Volvo XC40, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
