2006 Mercury Mariner

The Mariner is available with a choice of four-cylinder, V6, and gas/electric hybrid powertrains. All models come with a four-speed automatic transmission except for the Hybrid, which comes with the CVT. Three trim levels are available: The Convenience trim comes with the 153-horsepower four-cylinder engine. All-wheel drive is available, which Mercury calls intelligent four-wheel drive. The Luxury trim comes with the more powerful, 200-horsepower V6 and privacy glass, and it's available with all-wheel drive. The Premier and Premier 4WD trims are the top of the line, adding things like a seven-speaker stereo with subwoofer; heated outside mirrors and driver's seat; power-adjustable front seats; a premium, suede-like upholstery; and polished wheels.For 2006, the Mariner continues relatively unchanged except for a new exterior color, interior color, and several equipment additions.
