Mercury Sable Horsepower & Torque (2002 - 2009): Your Comprehensive Guide

Researched By The AutoPadre Research Team


The Mercury Sable, introduced in 1985, was a pivotal model in Mercury's lineup, transitioning the brand's mid-size offerings to front-wheel drive and serving as a counterpart to the Ford Taurus.

It was reintroduced in 2008 as a full-size sedan before being discontinued in 2009.

From 2002 to 2009, the Sable offered a range of engines, starting with a 3.0L Vulcan V6 producing 153 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

By 2009, it featured a 3.5L Duratec V6 delivering 263 horsepower and 249 lb-ft of torque, available with all-wheel drive (AWD) and a 6-speed automatic transmission.

This marked a significant performance improvement over earlier models.
