Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
The 2010 Mercury Mariner places an emphasis on increased safety this year, offering an available blind spot mirror for improved blind spot visibility, MyKey programmable key, a rear view monitor and SYNC 911 assist with traffic updates, direction and information assist. Also new is Active Park Assist, which uses sonar guidance and the vehicle's electric power steering to assist with parallel parking maneuvers.
The Mariner shares its body, engine and interior with the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute. Of the three, the Mariner is arguably the most handsome, with a heavy dose of Mercury's new styling esthetic making the little SUV look more contemporary than its siblings. The Marnier is a roomy, affordable and nicely equipped compact SUV, offering seating for five, a choice of a fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine or a powerful V6 teamed with an automatic transmission and the option of part-time four-wheel drive. That having been said, the Mariner rides atop an aging platform, lacking features found on newer compact SUVs, such as a third-row seat, DVD navigation and stability and traction control.
