The new Lincoln Nautilus is on the horizon. This mid-size SUV is gearing up for a fresh generation, and a recently released teaser video from Lincoln suggests that the launch is imminent. Mark your calendars for April 17—next Monday, as of the article’s publication date on April 14.
However, the brief video does more than just announce a launch date. It offers a peek inside the darkened cabin, illuminated by intriguing computer graphics that at first glance appear random. Two purple beams emanate from an illuminated Lincoln emblem, spreading outward while a purple haze unfolds between them. The name Nautilus gradually materializes, and as the purple mist dissipates, two slender purple lines emerge on the sides. Ultimately, the teaser reveals the significant news: the launch event, set for April 17 in New York City.
But is this truly the main revelation? Automakers frequently release teaser images and clips featuring elements obscured in shadow. To investigate further, we enhanced a screenshot showing the animated purple clouds. This image, presented at the top of this article, suggests that what initially seemed random was actually a glimpse into the new Nautilus interior, filled with display screens—including a long panel stretching across the dashboard.
With some digital enhancements, it’s evident that the Lincoln emblem appears on a central tablet-style touchscreen. The purple streaks seemingly extend toward upper displays, creating the digital purple clouds. Although specific dimensions and details remain unclear, it certainly seems like Nautilus is projected on yet another screen, bridging the corners and giving this new SUV a sleek glass cockpit feel.

Furthermore, Lincoln demonstrates once again that if an automaker wishes to keep a secret, it can mostly succeed. While spy photos of prototypes have been scarce, a leak from the Chinese government in November 2022 revealed images of the new Nautilus’s exterior design. It is likely that the North American version will closely resemble the Nautilus seen in the Far East, but we will have confirmation in just a few days.
