2007 Mercury Milan
Thursday, November 9th, 2006
Side airbags have become standard instead of optional for 2007 on Mercury’s midsize sedan. Milan shares its basic architecture with the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ and it offers base and uplevel Premier models, both available with a 160-hp 4-cyl engine or a 221-hp V6. The 4-cyl comes with a 5-speed manual transmission or optional 5-speed automatic; but the V6 versions use a 6-speed automatic.
As with the Fusion, Mercury says all-wheel drive will be available on Milan later in the model year. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes are standard. Traction control is standard on V6 versions. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags are now standard. A sunroof is optional. Premiers come with leather upholstery, offer a choice of metal or wood interior trim at no extra cost, and are available with heated front seats. Milan’s performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Fusions.
Milan should follow Fusion in offering a new-design 3.5-liter V6 for 2008. The engine is already standard for the related Lincoln MKZ sedan. No word yet on whether the 3.0-liter V6 will continue.
A hybrid power option is also slated for the ‘08 Milan and Fusion. It is expected to emulate the powertrain of the Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner Hybrid SUVs. All three sedans reportedly get a cosmetic freshening for 2009, assuming current plans hold.
