2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid and Ford Performance Parts
The Mercury Mariner Hybrid uses both gasoline engine and
electric motor, which gives a 50% increase in driving efficiency
with a much lower emission. All this is achieved by the use of 6
powertrain components, which work in perfect unison. Ford motor
has 40 patents in hybrid engine technology and 70 pending.
"The greatest appeal of the Mercury Mariner Hybrid is that it
satisfies both your environmental conscience and sense of style.
Mariner Hybrid retains the clean, tailored appearance of the
conventional Mariner," said Peter Horbury, Executive Director,
North American Design.
Being a full hybrid, the Mercury Mariner employs both series-
and parallel-hybrid characteristics. The gasoline engine shuts
down to conserve fuel during coasting, at stoplights, and at low
speeds. The electric motor, drawing electricity from the
battery, is able to drive the vehicle without assistance up to
25 mph.
It has 2.3-liter DOHC Duratec four-cylinder engine with 2 ac
electric motors with 250 D-size nickel-metal hydride batteries
in a compact, rear-mounted, sealed package. The vehicle could go
up to 25 mph with only electric power. The gas engine
automatically shuts down at stoplights, during coasting or while
vehicle is crawling at low speeds. 2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid
has a greater fuel economy in city driving where electric motor
runs the vehicle up to as much as 25 mph.
The Mariner hybrid has 16-inch, five-spoke aluminum wheels
wrapped with 235/70R-16 all-season tires and a discreet air vent
in the driver's side rear-quarter window that helps cool the
rear-mounted nickel-metal hydride battery pack. It has an
all-new Intelligent 4WD System, which automatically transfers
torque from front to rear as required by road conditions without
driver intervention.
Mariner powertrains include a 2.3-liter 16-valve I-4 and a
3.0-liter 24-valve V-6 Duratec engine. Both engines come with a
standard 4-speed automatic transaxle.
It also features a front end with the vertical,
satin-aluminum-finished waterfall grille framing the floating
Mercury emblem. The fascia features a stacked-element theme with
complex refractor headlamps over inset fog lamps. A
high-impact-plastic (HIP) aluminum-look bumper insert and
U-shaped air intake below the bumper.
Mariner has the latest level of the Personal Safety SystemTM,
one of the most comprehensive and technologically advanced
safety systems available in any vehicle in any class.
Seat-mounted front side air bags and side air curtain air bags
are optional.
"Mariner Hybrid fits perfectly with Mercury's design
philosophy," says Richard Gresens, Mariner chief designer. "It's
a stylish, elegant design with clean simple lines. It's an urban
sport-utility, comfortable going to a club downtown, yet still
possessing all of the capability and versatility of a
sport-utility. At the same time, it's environmentally friendly."
