DEARBORN, Mich., November 18, 2025 – Lincoln has unveiled Aurora, its new Black Label theme developed for the 2026 Nautilus. Inspired by the silent strength and serene energy of the Aurora Polaris.
The launch aligns with the end of the lunar cycle and the darkest skies of the year — the ideal conditions for observing phenomena such as the northern lights. This natural connection is reflected in the materials and colors chosen by Lincoln, which aimed to recreate inside the Nautilus cabin the same depth, movement, and atmosphere of the polar lights.

Aurora: a distinctive interior experience
The Aurora theme offers customers a new approach to personalization, bringing elements that evoke the serenity and mystery of the night sky:
• Allura Blue – A deep and calming shade applied to the leather, headliner, and carpets, contrasted by subtle metallic accents.
• Special Leather Seats – Allura Blue Dinamica® surfaces with perforations and embossing inspired by the movement of the auroras.
• Radiant Copper Piping – Details that add warmth and contrast, representing the inner energy of the aurora.
• Mahogany Red – Intense accents that introduce depth and complement the blue and copper palette.
• Wood applique with herringbone marquetry – A tribute to natural craftsmanship and the precision that defines the brand.
According to Liam Butler, Lincoln’s color and materials designer, the new theme “continues the brand’s tradition of creating distinctive, tailor-made interiors, combining quiet sophistication with a personalized touch.” Butler states that the combination of colors, materials, and finishes results in a refined and expressive environment, true to Lincoln’s “sanctuary” concept.
Black Label Collection 2026
For the 2026 model year, the Lincoln Black Label collection includes seven exclusive themes for the Nautilus, Aviator, and Navigator, each inspired by different lifestyles and atmospheres — from celestial and aeronautical references to luminous finishes, sculpted textures, and serene tones.
Black Label’s popularity remains strong: by October, more than 11% of combined sales for the three lines came from customers choosing this collection, reinforcing its role as a gateway for new buyers to the brand.
The recent expansion of Black Label into Canada further strengthens Lincoln’s commitment to building its global presence and offering an elevated luxury experience that goes far beyond the vehicle itself. Exclusive benefits for members include Lincoln Access Rewards points, premium maintenance, anytime car washes, and access to experiences within the brand’s hospitality network.
