A luxury SUV should feel calm even when the road around it is not. That confidence comes from Lincoln’s driver-assist technology, a layered set of sensors, cameras, and radar that watches the road with you and steps in when it matters most.
Lincoln’s safety technology is built around the Lincoln Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assist features. Depending on the model and trim, this can include Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, a Blind Spot Information System, a Lane-Keeping System, and a rear-view camera, all designed to help you avoid a collision or reduce its severity. Exact feature availability varies by model and trim, and independent safety ratings should be confirmed with the current NHTSA and IIHS listings for each model year. To see which features come on the SUV you are considering, explore Lincoln model research or visit Galpin Lincoln in North Hills.
What is Lincoln Co-Pilot360?
Lincoln Co-Pilot360 is Lincoln’s name for its collection of standard and available driver-assist technologies. Rather than a single gadget, it is a coordinated system: cameras read lane lines, radar measures the gap to the vehicle ahead, and sensors scan the areas your mirrors miss. The goal is not to replace an attentive driver but to give that driver more time, more information, and a helping hand at the moments a split second counts.
Because the specific technologies grouped under Co-Pilot360 differ across the Corsair, Nautilus, Aviator, and Navigator, and across trims within each model, it is worth confirming the exact content for the vehicle you want.

Key driver-assist features explained
Here are the driver-assist features most shoppers ask about, described in plain terms. Availability on a given trim should be verified before you buy.
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. Using camera and radar input, this system can warn you of a potential frontal collision and, if you do not respond in time, apply the brakes to help reduce impact speed or avoid the crash entirely.
- Blind Spot Information System [BLIS]. Sensors monitor the lanes beside you and light an indicator in the side mirror when another vehicle is sitting in your blind spot, which is especially reassuring on a busy Los Angeles freeway merge.
- Lane-Keeping System. When the vehicle drifts toward a lane line without a turn signal, the system can alert you and gently nudge the steering to help you stay centered.
- Rear View Camera. A clear view behind the vehicle makes tight parking and driveway backing safer and simpler.
- Reverse Sensing and Cross-Traffic Alert. These features help you detect obstacles or approaching vehicles when you are backing out of a parking space.
These are the building blocks. Higher trims often add more.
Available higher-tier technologies
Beyond the core suite, Lincoln offers more advanced driver-assist technology on certain models and trims. Depending on configuration, this can include adaptive cruise control that adjusts your speed to keep a set distance from traffic ahead, evasive steer assist, a 360-degree camera view for parking, and Lincoln’s available hands-free highway driving technology on prequalified sections of divided highway.
Because these systems are offered rather than universal, treat them as trim-dependent. Confirm the equipment on the specific vehicle you are considering with our product specialists, and do not assume a feature is present based on the model name alone.
How to read luxury SUV safety ratings
When you shop by safety, two independent sources carry the most weight. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) publishes a star rating based on crash testing, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awards designations such as Top Safety Pick to vehicles that perform well across its crash and headlight evaluations.
A few tips for reading them well:
- Match the model year. Ratings can change year to year as a vehicle is updated, so confirm you are looking at the correct model year.
- Check the trim and equipment. Some crash-avoidance ratings depend on optional equipment being present.
- Look at the categories, not just the headline. Front, side, and rollover results tell a fuller story than a single overall figure.
For current ratings on any Lincoln SUV, verify the latest NHTSA and IIHS results for that model and model year before you decide.
Safety across the Lincoln lineup
Lincoln’s current lineup is built entirely of SUVs, and each pairs its driver-assist technology with a quiet, composed cabin that reduces fatigue on a long drive, itself a safety benefit. The compact Lincoln Corsair is a popular entry point for shoppers who want luxury and advanced safety features in a right-sized package. The Nautilus, Aviator, and three-row Navigator scale that same philosophy up as your space and towing needs grow.
The smartest way to compare is in person. Sit in the driver’s seat, look at the displays, and let a specialist walk you through exactly which technologies are included on the trim you like. You can browse the new Lincoln inventory at Galpin Lincoln to see what is available now.
