Some ratings use a scale of Poor to Good. Others range from Basic to Superior.

Small overlap front

The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.

Driver-side

  • Rating applies to 2024 models

Tested vehicle: 2024 Lincoln Nautilus 4-door 4wd

The Lincoln Nautilus was redesigned for the 2024 model year. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2024 Nautilus conducted by Ford as part of frontal crash test verification.

Driver restraints and dummy kinematics
The dummy’s head barely contacted the frontal airbag leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward side structure and resulting in little airbag cushioning for the chest. Additionally, the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the dummy’s head and torso.
