DEARBORN, Mich., November 18, 2025 – Lincoln introduced Aurora, its new Black Label theme developed for the 2026 Nautilus model. Inspired by the quiet power and calm energy of the Aurora Polaris.
The launch coincides with the end of the lunar cycle and the darkest skies of the year — ideal conditions for viewing phenomena such as the aurora borealis. This connection with nature is reflected in the choice of materials and colors that Lincoln chose to bring the same depth, movement and atmosphere of the northern lights to the interior of the Nautilus.

Aurora: a unique interior experience
The Aurora theme offers customers a new way to personalize and brings elements that evoke the calm and mystery of the night sky:
• Allura Blue – A deep and soothing shade used on leather, headliners and carpets, complemented by subtle metallic details.
• Special Leather Seats – Allura Blue Dinamica® surfaces with perforations and reliefs inspired by the movement of the Northern Lights.
• Radiant Copper Trim – Details that add warmth and contrast and represent the inner energy of the aurora.
• Mahogany Red – Intense accents that add depth and complement the blue-copper palette.
• Herringbone Inlay Wood Inlay – A tribute to the natural craftsmanship and precision that characterizes the brand.
According to Liam Butler, color and material designer at Lincoln, the new theme “continues with the brand’s tradition of creating distinctive and tailored interiors that combine quiet sophistication with a distinctive touch.” Butler adds that the combination of colors, materials and finishes creates a refined and expressive environment, true to the “sanctuary” concept that Lincoln promotes.
Black Label 2026 Collection
For the 2026 model year, the Lincoln Black Label Collection includes seven exclusive themes for the Nautilus, Aviator and Navigator models, each inspired by different lifestyles and atmospheres — from celestial and aeronautical motifs to luminous finishes, sculptural textures and tranquil hues.
The popularity of the Black Label line continues to grow: by October, more than 11% of combined sales of the three models came from customers who chose this collection, confirming its importance as a gateway for new buyers of the brand.
The recent expansion of the Black Label line into Canada reinforces Lincoln’s commitment to solidify its global presence and offer an elevated luxury experience that goes far beyond the vehicle itself. Exclusive member benefits include Lincoln Access Rewards points, premium maintenance, anytime vehicle washes and access to experiences within the brand’s hospitality network.
