The Nautilus is built at the Changan Hangzhou Assembly Plant and has been a hit since its U.S. launch earlier this year. Consumers are particularly drawn to its 48-inch display that spans nearly the entire width of the dashboard.
The Nautilus offers two powertrains: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, and a hybrid variant with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, a continuously variable transmission, and a 134 hp electric motor. The hybrid version delivers a combined output of 310 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, and boasts better fuel efficiency at 30 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined, compared to the regular model's 24 mpg combined. As a result, 44% of consumers are choosing the hybrid.
While sales of the Aviator, Corsair, and Nautilus increased, the Navigator saw a 27% decline compared to the previous year, with only 3,423 units sold in the second quarter, which is roughly the same number of Escalades Cadillac sells in a month.
