If you want the best Lincoln has to offer, you must level up to a Black Label model. This top-shelf trim is available on all the luxury automaker’s vehicles except the small Corsair SUV. Broadening its Black Label portfolio, Lincoln just introduced a new option for the popular Nautilus utility vehicle, a dark and brooding theme called Aurora.
This Black Label offering is new on the 2026 Lincoln Nautilus and was supposedly inspired by the aurora borealis, commonly known as the northern lights. This atmospheric phenomenon is a visual spectacle, a shimmering, iridescent show high in the night sky.
This theme, “celebrates a deep connection to the natural world through its color palette and materials,” bringing to mind dark night skies and the cycles of the moon. A fetching combination, this Aurora theme features a deep blue color on the seats, doors, headliner and carpets. Small metallic accents are also employed to add a bit of contrast for more visual interest.
The seats are covered in Allure Blue Dinamica (a suede-like microfiber) that features a special perforation pattern. As with the metallic accents mentioned above, Radiant Copper Piping provides more contrast while adding a bit of warmth and energy to the interior. Mahogany red accents are also incorporated, while the cabin’s handcrafted wood furnishings feature a herringbone pattern that is quite striking.
Aside from this new Aurora option, the 2026 Black Label Nautilus is also offered in a Chalét Theme. This one incorporates light creams and grays, and includes Silverwood accents. Keeping things interesting, the Aviator and Navigator utility vehicles are offered in other themes including Invitation, Flight and Moonbean for the former as well as Invitation and Enlighten for the latter.
“Through carefully selected colors, materials and finishes, we’ve created an interior that feels both refined and expressive,” said Liam Butler, a color and materials designer at Lincoln in a media release shared by the automaker. “The new theme continues Lincoln’s tradition of distinctive design and bespoke interiors, embodying the quiet sophistication and personalized touch that defines the brand.”
There’s a lot going on with this three-row SUV, and here are some of the highlights.
Aside from subtle exterior styling tweaks and greatly elevated interior materials, Black Label vehicles provide owners with some additional benefits. They also get no-charge vehicle maintenance, free pickup and drop off for service work, complimentary car washes and much more.
As the range-topping trim level, it’s understandable that Black Label Lincolns are not cheap, but still, the automaker claims they accounted for more than 11 percent of Nautilus, Aviator and Navigator sales through October of the year, a sizable chunk of deliveries to be certain.
The 2026 Lincoln Nautilus in the new Aurora Black Label theme should be available for purchase right now. This luxury SUV starts around $79,125 including $1,995 in destination fees. That’s hardly cheap, but luxury never is.
New Skyline is coming. U.S. may get an Infiniti with a manual and twin-turbo V6. See what’s confirmed now—and what’s still unknown.
