Aurora Arrives

Your own personal night sky lounge.

This year, Lincoln debuts a new aurora-themed interior for the 2026 Nautilus that’s meant to capture the mood of the northern lights, think calm, vivid, and quietly dramatic. 

In the Black Label Aurora theme, the cabin leans into deep, atmospheric blues with contrasting copper-toned accents for warmth and depth, delivered through curated surfaces and detailing. Allura Blue seating with Aurora-style perforation, copper piping accents, and crafted trim elements work beyond color alone to create the effect using texture and contrast. 

If you want a 2026 Nautilus that feels less “typical luxury SUV” and more curated, design-forward Lincoln, Aurora is the interior theme to ask for.
