The Mercury Mariner, introduced in 2005, was Mercury's first car-based SUV, offering a more upscale alternative to its siblings, the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute.
It remained in production until 2010, marking the end of the Mercury brand.
Performance-wise, the Mariner featured a range of engines, starting with a 2.3L 4-cylinder producing 133 horsepower and 124 lb-ft of torque in hybrid configurations, and peaking with a 3.0L V6 delivering 200 horsepower and 193 lb-ft of torque.
By 2011, the 2.5L engine became standard, generating 171 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque.
Transmission options included 4-speed and 6-speed automatics, as well as an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT) for hybrid models.
