For 2010, Mercury Mariner adds a host of new features that improves safety and makes driving more convenient. Mariner also features SYNC with Traffic, Directions and Information -- helping reduce distractions while accessing important route and traffic information.
Also new for 2010, Integrated Spotter Mirrors consist of an outside rearview mirror designed with a secondary convex spotter in the top outer corner, which is aimed exclusively at the driver's blind spot. When traffic enters the driver's blind spot on either side of the vehicle, it is visible in the secondary convex mirror, helping provide the driver broader peripheral view.
The new Active Park Assist system uses sensors on the front and rear of the vehicle, working in conjunction with Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS), to guide the vehicle into a parking space.
A benefit of EPAS is the ability to control steering characteristics that enhance drive quality. An example found on Mariner is Pull-Drift Compensation, a software-based technology designed to help drivers offset vehicle pulling or drifting that can occur in steady crosswinds or on uneven roads.
2010 Mercury Mariner powertrain options maximize performance and fuel efficiency. Buyers can choose a 171-hp, 2.5-liter I-4 engine or an available 3.0-liter V-6 that produces 240 horsepower.
Fuel-efficiency measures, such as refined aerodynamics and low-rolling-resistance tires, also enhance fuel economy while contributing to a quiet, refined cabin environment.
