Have you ever wondered how each of the Lincoln cars got their names? Considerable thought is put into naming a new vehicle model as engineers want to complement their new creation with an equally impactful name. Each Lincoln SUV model’s name tells us a story, so let’s look at what each one has to say.
Lincoln Nautilus
Until the 2019 model year, the Lincoln Nautilus was known as the Lincoln MKX. Lincoln felt that year’s overhaul deserved a new model name to reflect the design changes. The word “Nautilus” derives from the Greek word for “sailor” and was chosen to give the updated model an air of adventure and liberty.
Lincoln Aviator
The Lincoln Aviator may have taken a 20-year hiatus, but the reintroduction of the name in 2020 perfectly suited the adventure-ready model. In alignment with Lincoln’s efforts to move away from alpha-numeric model names, the Aviator name was chosen to evoke adventurers like Amelia Earhart to inspire drivers to take roads less traveled while behind the steering wheel.
Lincoln Corsair
The word “Corsair” derives from a French word meaning “pirate” or “plunderer.” Its older roots in medieval Latin are more akin to “journey” or “expedition.” It’s the perfect match for the evocative styling and luxury features that make every trip in a Lincoln Corsair a treat for the senses.
Lincoln Navigator
From Magellan to NASA’s journeys to the stars, some of the most ambitious voyages have required a navigator. The name is especially apropos for a large and supremely comfortable luxury SUV that’s designed and outfitted to make your longest journeys delightful.
