The Mercury Milan is one of the many new hybrids taking the streets. Hybrids have become a commodity because of the hazards that are inherent in gas emissions. Their fuel efficiency and battery powered engines make them attractive to anyone who likes to take care of the environment.
Hybrid cars have made new advancements that have made them better than their predecessors. An improved engine made the handling and steering less robotic and mechanical to a more organic feel. The Mercury Milan has made those same improvements but there is still that lingering feeling of electric driving.
The Mercury Milan is powered by a .5L I-4, 3.0L V-6, 2.5L I-4 with electric motor. You can choose between the two engines for your car. But the plus of the Mercury Milan is its electric motor. The electric motor can be used for stretches of your driving. It provides sufficient power that can drive your car on short trips or longer excursions.
The Mercury Milan has a 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic transmission, and continuously variable transmission that helps you through any kind of terrain and makes your driving experience pleasurable. The Mercury Milan’s 2.5-liter I-4 engine delivers 175 horsepower throttle and 172 pound-feet of torque. The V-6 has been improved to 240 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque.
The Mercury Milan is not a total revamp of its predecessors but it has substantially upgraded its offerings. It has a better sheet metal that protects the car and is used stylishly for added appeal. The interior has been redone to remove the plastic feel of previous models. Better equipment and better quality materials make the Mercury Milan an improved version of its predecessors.
The significant difference of the Mercury Milan from its almost the same counterpart Ford Fusion is its vertical grille in front and the lower trunk and bigger tail lamps.
The improvements made on the Mercury Milan have helped increase its value in the eyes of customers. The better interior and exterior add zest and appeal to the car. The safety features protect the passengers and driver once you are out on the road. The engine feels good and gives you the boost you need when you drive for long stretches. The battery provides extra energy for the Mercury Milan if you feel the need to conserve energy.
The Mercury Milan is an excellent choice if you are looking for a hybrid that suits your taste but at the end of the day it is still your choice if you want to buy one.
