Mercury rolls out 2009 Mariner Hybrid.

Ford felt that this smaller and more fuel-efficient model was necessary to augment the sale of Town Car. It is seeking to create a new market for luxury hybrid SUVs that are compact, more environment friendly, and highly fuel efficient in relation to bigger limousines. With a very high mileage of 30-34 mpg in highway/city, this model is pitched at the segment that brings in an economical SUV that fulfils the need for a limo/livery vehicle.

This attempted switchover to this kind of vehicle is considered necessary also because some companies which these vehicle owners operate with insist on greener vehicles. A prominent example of a company that requires such eco-friendly vehicles for its transportation needs is Coca Cola.

The 2009 Mercury Mariner hybrid is built essentially on the Mariner model, but offers an alternative hybrid engine. It is offered in a host of engine choices. These are a 2.5-liter; DOHC; 16-valve I-4 that delivers 171hp at 171 lb ft.; a 3.0-liter; DOHC; 24-valve V-6 that has an output of 240 horsepower and 223 lb ft, and a 2.5-liter; DOHC; 16-valve; I-4 that generates power of 153-hp/136 lb-ft, and is also available with an Atkinson cycle hybrid system. This system comes with a 94-hp AC synchronous motor.
