New for 2009 Mercury Mariner

The 2009 Mercury Mariner receives a new 171-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and an available 6-speed automatic transmission that are expected to improve both city and highway fuel economy by 1 mpg. Aerodynamics has been improved and new low-rolling resistance tires are added, also to improve fuel-efficiency. The new 240-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 engine features a 40 horsepower increase, and combined with the 6-speed automatic fuel economy is improved by 1 mpg. New features include Easy Fuel capless refueling, ambient lighting and standard cruise control. ABS and AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control) are standard for all trim levels.

Short Take

A twin to the Ford Escape, the Mariner has a roomy interior, spacious rear seat, and good cargo space. Fit and finish is unimpressive and the car is noisy. The V6 provides strong acceleration and 19 mpg overall. The four-cylinder provides adequate acceleration and 21 mpg overall. The hybrid gets 26 mpg overall, the best fuel economy of any SUV we've tested.
