New Mercury Models

Mercury launches its first hybrid passenger car with the 2010 Milan Hybrid. Along with its sibling, the Ford Fusion Hybrid, the Milan Hybrid promises to be one of the most fuel-efficient midsize sedans available in the U.S. 

Ford restyled its midsize sedans, the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, for 2010. Underneath its unique styling, the Milan is virtually identical to its Blue Oval sibling. Both cars receive more standard safety features, revamped four- and six-cylinder drivetrains and sleeker styling for 2010. Mercury expects highway gas mileage for the Milan to beat that of the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. 

Mercury's Grand Marquis is a six-passenger, rear-wheel-drive sedan with a V-8 engine and traditional body-on-frame construction. The Grand Marquis competes with other full-size sedans such as the Chevrolet Impala, Chrysler 300 and Buick Lucerne.

GM's discontinuation of the Saturn Vue Hybrid leaves the Mariner Hybrid with no direct competitor, apart from its Ford and Mazda stablemates. Like them, it has a non-hybrid counterpart that's covered separately in the Cars.com Research section. 

The Mercury Milan is related to the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ and competes in the midsize sedan category against the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord and Buick LaCrosse. It's powered by either a 2.3-liter four-cylinder or a 3.0-liter V-6. The four-cylinder model is front-wheel drive only, but the V-6 models can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive. The Milan is Mercury's most-affordable model, but is billed by the automaker as upscale and expressive.  

The Mercury Mountaineer is closely related to the Ford Explorer but has more luxury content. It competes against other upscale full-size SUVs, such as the Buick Enclave, Saab 9-7X and Chrysler Aspen. The Mountaineer comes equipped with a fair amount of standard safety equipment, and the top engine is a 292-horsepower, 4.6-liter V-8 that drives a six-speed automatic transmission. Available in base or Premier trim, it is built with body-on-frame construction, as are the Explorer and other truck-based SUVs.
