For 2025, two Lincoln hybrid SUVs are on offer: the Nautilus Hybrid SUV and the Corsair Grand Touring Plug-In Hybrid. As their names suggest, each takes a different approach to hybrid technology. Find all the details below, and when you're ready to take one for a spin, our Lincoln dealership is waiting. Lincoln Dealership Insights: A Guide to Lincoln Hybrid SUVs Key Things You'll Want To Know About the Nautilus Hybrid SUV The first thing to know about is that the Nautilus Hybrid SUV is not a separate model. Rather, it's a hybrid engine option you can choose on any of the three available trims. This setup builds on the standard turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine, combining it with a 100 kW electric motor to push out a total of 310 horsepower (a full 60 horsepower more than the gas-only engine). Power goes to all four wheels through a continuously variable transmission. According to the EPA, the hybrid Nautilus can reach around 30 miles per gallon combined. For reference, non-hybrids are rated at 24 mpg combined. more What To Expect From The Corsair Grand Touring Plug-In Hybrid The Grand Touring is the top trim in the Corsair lineup, and it's the only one that comes with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Here, a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder teams up with an 11-kWh battery and two electric motors, one of which powers the rear axle as part of the standard all-wheel-drive system. The result is a combined 266 horsepower, giving the Grand Touring a modest 16-horsepower bump over the regular Corsair. With a full charge and steady driving, this model can cover about 27 miles on battery power alone. After that, the engine takes over, offering an EPA-estimated 33 mpg combined. Recharging the Corsair at home takes overnight on a standard 120-volt outlet or around three to four hours with a 240-volt charger. Note that the Grand Touring currently does not support direct current (DC) fast charging, so use alternating current (AC) charging only. What Else Do Hybrids Bring to the Table Besides Fuel Efficiency? Fuel economy may be the headline act, but hybrids have a few more tricks worth clapping for. First up is regenerative braking, which slows the car by converting its motion into electric energy. That not only helps top up the battery but also eases the load on your brake pads, meaning less wear and fewer trips to the shop. Another perk is the instant torque at your command. You'll love how responsive your car feels. And finally, don't overlook the whisper-quiet all-electric driving. Whether you're gliding through town or cruising the open highway, the near-silent ride is a little luxury you'll quickly come to appreciate.

When it comes to American luxury SUVs, Lincoln has set a high bar. In 2025, the brand continues to impress with two standout models: the midsize Aviator and the full-size Navigator. Both offer premium styling, smooth performance, and advanced technology, but serve slightly different lifestyles and needs.

Its towing capacity of up to 8,700 pounds makes it an optimal choice for those needing serious hauling power. more Interior and Tech The Aviator features a three-row layout that seats seven, making it ideal for families who need extra seating but don't want the bulk of a full-size SUV.

An available Welcome Mat lighting system announces luxury upon arrival and departure.

Visiting the Lincoln dealership for battery service is vital to maintaining your battery's health. You'll need voltage checks, acid level checks, and other service to make sure it's in good condition. If service reveals your battery is failing, if it's been three to five years since the battery in a combustion engine car was replaced, or if you notice any of the signs below, then it's time for a new battery. 1. Your Car Seems Sluggish When Starting It may take longer for your car to start if there's something wrong with one of the components that makes the engine jump to life. If your battery is damaged or nearing the end of its life, then it might not have sufficient power to do its job as quickly as it could before. Slow startups should always prompt a visit to the dealer so you can learn what's wrong before your car won't start one day. more 2. Your Car Won't Start An old or damaged battery will eventually stop working well enough to get the car started. When the battery is the reason your car won't start, you'll usually hear a clicking sound after you try to get the car started. Try jumpstarting the battery to see if the car starts after that. If it does, then your battery was to blame for the car not starting. However, if your car turns off shortly after it's jump-started, then your alternator could be to blame instead. 3. Your Headlights Won't Light Up Well The battery powers everything electric in your car, including its interior and exterior lights. A failing battery may not have enough power to keep all the lights lit up as bright as they used to be. If your headlights are no longer lighting up the road the way they used to, then your battery could be to blame. 4. Your Battery-Powered Accessories Won't Work The lights aren't the only part of your car that the battery powers. There are tons of things that it supplies power to, from the infotainment system to the power liftgate. If one or more electrical accessories start slowing down or stop working completely, then your battery might be having trouble keeping everything powered. 5. Your Battery Case Is Damaged A damaged battery may swell up or develop bulges on its surface. Make sure you inspect your battery regularly to check that this hasn't happened. Look out for corrosion on the terminals, too, and clean them when it builds up. Excessive amounts of corrosion or corrosion that returns rapidly after it's cleaned off can indicate battery problems. Your Lincoln deserves the best, so visit Koons Lincoln of Bethesda in Bethesda, MD. You can also schedule service on our website.

If you're considering buying a Lincoln, it's essential to understand how recent tariff policies may affect your buying decision. At the end of March, the U.S. government announced a 25% tariff on all imported passenger vehicles and key automotive parts. The auto tariffs impact and car prices impact has been and will continue to be strong. Today, your local Lincoln dealership in Bethesda, MD will explain these impacts so you can better understand how they affect you. Understanding the Auto Tariffs Impact and Car Prices Impact from Your Lincoln Dealership in Bethesda, MD Understanding Tariffs Tariffs are taxes applied to goods imported into the country. Their purpose is to encourage domestic manufacturing and consumption, which can boost the economy. However, oftentimes, tariffs result in higher prices for consumers as the company responsible for the taxes typically passes the added costs onto consumers by raising the prices of their products. more Impact on Lincoln Pricing The auto tariffs are expected to raise the price of many vehicles, including Lincoln. Lincoln imports its best-selling midsize SUV, the Nautilus, from China. Due to unique circumstances regarding China and the U.S., vehicles imported from China are subject to a 125% tariff. This is likely to significantly impact Nautilus pricing in the coming months. Lincoln, as a luxury brand under Ford Motor Company, produces several models domestically, including the Navigator, Aviator, and Corsair. However, considering that vehicles contain thousands of parts, there are many that are imported from other countries. As these parts are subject to the tariffs, this means that even domestic models are likely to see their prices raised. Estimate suggest that consumers could see price hikes ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. Availability and Supply Chain If you've had your eye on a Nautilus for a while, you needn't worry. Lincoln has indicated that they will continue to import the Nautilus, despite its substantial tariff, due to its strong sales performance in the U.S. Ford has emphasized its commitment to U.S.-based manufacturing, which indicates that domestically produced Lincolns are likely to continue to have strong availability. Some companies are seeking alternative supply chains for material sourcing, manufacturing, and logistics. It is unclear whether Lincoln will change its supply chain strategies in the future but if they do, buyers should expect potential delays in production. How to Navigate Tariffs The tariff situation seems to be changing daily, leaving buyers confused and uncertain about how they should navigate them. If you're considering buying a Lincoln, we recommend acting promptly. We have many vehicles in stock with pre-tariff pricing and have additional promotions such as employee pricing. Once these vehicles are sold, you are unlikely to have another opportunity to purchase a vehicle at their current price. Tariffs have introduced a new layer of complexity to purchasing a Lincoln. Understanding how they work and how Lincoln is affected can help you make a more informed decision. To get started finding your pre-tariff Lincoln, stop by Koons Lincoln of Bethesda in Bethesda, MD.

All Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles are used, but not all used Lincolns are Certified Pre-Owned. What does this mean? It means that CPO vehicles are held to exceptionally high standards of quality that regular used vehicles are not, providing the best-of-both-worlds of affordability and excellence. Let's take a closer look at Lincoln CPO benefits. Examining Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles to Understand Lincoln CPO Benefits How Does a Lincoln Become Certified Pre-Owned? Not just any vehicle is qualified to be Certified Pre-Owned. For a Lincoln to become Certified, it has to pass a very specific and strict process. Firstly, the vehicle must be under six years old and have less than 80,000 miles on the odometer. It must also possess a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report. Once those criteria are met, we put the vehicle through a rigorous 200-point inspection and a road test. If any repairs, replacements, or cosmetic fixes are required, they are performed by Lincoln-trained technicians using genuine Lincoln parts. Once reconditioning is complete, the vehicle officially becomes Certified Pre-Owned. more What Warranties Come With a Certified Pre-Owned Lincoln? Every Certified Lincoln comes with a Comprehensive Limited Warranty that provides coverage for the first 100,000 miles or six years from the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty start date. For example, if the vehicle was originally purchased in 2023, and you purchased it as a CPO vehicle in 2025, you would be covered for four years. The limited warranty covers over 1,000 components, including the engine, transmission, suspension, and electrical systems. Optional Extended Service Plan Packages are available to keep you protected beyond the limited warranty. These plans are especially useful for CPO vehicles that are nearing the end of their warranties. PremiumCare plans have terms for up to 9 years or 125,000 miles. Scheduled Service Maintenance Plans are also available to keep your maintenance visits affordable and regular. What Are Other Benefits of Owning a CPO Vehicle? Roadside Assistance is available 24/7 for the length of your limited warranty.

If there's one routine vehicle inspection you don't want to miss, it's a routine brake inspection. The condition of your car's brakes is vital for road safety and most drivers should have their brakes inspected at least twice a year. In addition, if you notice the following symptoms of brake trouble, head to your local Lincoln dealership to have your brakes examined and repaired immediately. 7 Signs Your Lincoln Needs a Brake Inspection: What To Look For Reduced Stopping Power If brakes are poorly maintained, a variety of issues might cause them to lose power. There could be a fault in the caliper, rotor, brake pads, brake booster, fluid, or brake lines. Overheating from prolonged use can also cause the brakes to reduce in strength. It's very unwise to drive with anything but fully functioning brakes, so have your weakened brakes repaired as quickly as possible. more Veering When Braking If you find your car pulling to one side when you brake, then the brakes at one wheel have probably malfunctioned. This is also a hazardous situation that should be remedied at once. Spongy Brake Pedal Leaking brake fluid would diminish the power of your brakes and cause the pedal to feel less firm underfoot. In the case of a leak, the brake pedal might feel spongy when you press it. This is because hydraulic pressure has been lost inside the leaking brake line. Puddle of Brake Fluid A brake fluid leak might also leave a pool of yellow or brown liquid under your car or in the wheel wells. If your brakes seem abnormal in any way, check for such puddles on the drive. Squeaking or Grinding When brake pads are almost finished, they tend to emit a squeaking sound. This noise means one of your pads must be replaced right away. Grinding sounds typically indicate a more serious problem; a brake pad could have worn away completely. Vibrating Brake Pedal If one of your rotors grows too thin and warps out of shape or becomes scored when overheating, you may feel rhythmic vibrations in the brake pedal. These vibrations might also be felt through the steering wheel. Brake Warning Light Fortunately, the highly sensitive sensors in your Lincoln will usually pick up brake trouble before you do. You'll then see the brake warning light appear on the instrument panel. Book Biannual Inspections at Your Lincoln Dealership If you schedule routine inspections, you're far less likely to ever experience one of these brake problems. Unless you put your brakes under excessive strain, twice a year is typically a good interval for these inspections. If you regularly drive in heavy stop-and-go traffic or tow trailers, consider having your brakes examined even more frequently. Visit Koons Lincoln of Bethesda in Bethesda, MD, today to have your brakes checked or repaired. We share Lincoln's commitment to excellence and seek to deliver a world-class customer experience, whatever your automotive needs may be.

An oil change is one of the most essential services to schedule for your vehicle. An oil change is a proactive service that can refine the performance of your vehicle, prevent engine damage, and even improve your fuel economy. Learn about when to schedule an oil change, the best type of motor oil for your Lincoln, and more before you book your next service. The motor oil in your engine performs a few critical functions, such as lubricating the internal engine components, removing contaminants from the engine, and protecting your engine from corrosion. Properly lubricating your engine is important, since excessive friction between the engine's moving parts can cause damage and lead to premature engine failure. Motor oil removes contaminants like rust, dirt, and other debris from the engine, so the engine runs smoothly. Modern engine oil is also designed to protect your engine from overheating by dissipating heat buildup created by the combustion process. By keeping the engine cool, you can enjoy reliable and efficient performance on the road. more What Happens During an Oil Change? An oil change service at your local dealership will usually take less than an hour to complete. During your service, a Lincoln mechanic will drain the old oil from your engine and top up your motor with fresh oil. As part of your oil service, the engine oil filter will be checked and replaced if the filter is dirty. Regularly replacing the oil filter will help keep your engine oil clean longer by trapping debris in the filter. How Often Do You Need an Oil Change? As a rule of thumb, average drivers will need to schedule an oil change every six or so months, which is usually around 7,500 miles for new Lincolns. Your driving habits and the type of motor oil your Lincoln uses can influence how frequently you need an oil change. If you have aggressive driving habits like fast acceleration, drive in bumper-to-bumper traffic, or drive on dusty roads, you may need to book an oil service more often. Most modern Lincoln vehicles use Motorcraft motor oil, which is recommended in your Lincoln owner manual. Motorcraft oil is usually synthetic or semisynthetic, which means the motor oil is specially formulated to reduce engine wear and improve vehicle performance. Synthetic oil typically lasts longer than conventional oil, while semisynthetic oil blends last for about five months or 5,000 miles. Routine oil changes can prolong the life of your engine by preventing excess friction, corrosion, and overheating. Get in touch with Koons Lincoln of Bethesda in Bethesda. MD to schedule an oil change so you can get the best performance from your Lincoln vehicle.
